Warframe coming to Nintendo Switch (port by Panic Button)
- Thread starter Chairmanchuck (另一个我)
- Start date
I wouldnt mind more games going the xenoblade route of a high res ui but the actual game being downscaled as much as necessary to hit their target framerate.
There will likely never be cross-anything, yeah. DE likes to be able to push out updates on PC whenever they want, and the certification requirements the console holders have prevent them from doing the same thing for the console versions. They need to wait to pass cert for the console updates, which generally results in a lag of about a month and a half to three months between PC content updates and console content updates, and generally console ports get larger updates including a bunch of PC hotfixes and updates at once while PC's are more frequent but less substantial.
It's just not realistic to expect crossplay or cross-progression because of the gap between the versions.
Great. Didn't know it already came out.
Yea DE push out updates and fixes like crazy. I don't think they can do any better on consoles.
Pre release footage of Wolfenstein 2 also had notable frame rate issues compared to the final game. Believe in Panic Button :p
I will. I'll definitely try it if I can use my PC account on switch.
Footage looked sub 30 :/
This looks heavily downgraded but in this case it might not be a bad thing since all the effects in the original game were a bit overkill sometimes.
Still confused who this is for since always online games don't mesh with the concept of the Switch at all and if I got that right you can't use your existing accounts.

You really, really should not get your hopes up for that. I say this as a person constantly amazed by what the Switch can do. Well, gyro doesn't seem out of the question, anyway.
Yeah I'm not about to judge this on an early trailer. All of Panic Button's ports look better in their final version, and even post launch compared to their initial footage. Like said that actual footage of it being on the Switch look better then the trailer. I also really think that trailer was slowed down in parts on purpose.
That said 30fps, maybe unlocked in some areas like on the orbiter, is certainly what people should look forward to. Gyro shouldn't be to hard if they do it. That's just a control input. Graphically is going to be interesting. There is a LOT of reused assets in Warframe when you're on missions from locations to enemies. So how that factors into things is going to be interesting.

This is amazing news! It was definitely my hope and guess of what Panic Button was working on next. So awesome!
Last month: Blizzard naps and Hi-Rez takes the money they leave on the table.
This month: Bungie naps and DE takes the money they leave on the table.
Who's next?
I doubt Blizzard would outsource the port. That said, every week that passes without them announcing Overwatch or Diablo 3 for the system makes them look dumber.
Doom, Wolf 2, Rocket League, Paladins, Fortnite and Warframe are showing that the system is 1) capable of handling demanding games, 2) proving to be a good home for online-focused games, including Overwatch's most direct competitor.
Honestly, if Blizzard doesn't announce anything for Switch at BlizzCon 2018 I'll be shocked.
I don't care too much about 60fps, but gyro-aiming is a must on swtich. Without gyro, no buy.
You realize that Splatoon 2 is basically a online only game and sold over 6m copies on Switch.
The concept of the Switch is to play anywhere and that included at home, in your bed or if the TV is taken by another person.
Yeah, see that's a shame I've forgone many of life's important events (job interviews, weddings, baby showers and even jury duty) to spend time with my Tenno unraveling the mysteries of the world as it stands during the Orokin era. Life can be turbulent but I've found no greater peace than inside my Warframe. Knowing it was coming to the Switch I was elated considering I'm nomadic and for some reason never have the opportunity to play games unless I'm commuting wherever life takes me. I was then immediately crushed upon hearing my Tenno would not be joining me on those very travels.
I know it's because the versions are out of sync, but is it possible there is anything the devs can do? Can we at the very least come up with something to highlight just how important crossplay/cross-progression is to us? Maybe some sort of hashtag.
Having Diablo 3 on a handheld sounds like actual crack cocaine in videogame form.
Being Panic Button I guess they will put it right? They already know that people want it
Is this the big title that was mentioned earlier that Panic Button worked on? Or do they have more projects going?
I dont think the game allows cross progression on other platforms, so playing it on PS4, PC or Xbox One before probably wouldnt matter in this case. I dont think the Switch will be an exception to this.
Honestly, I just assume people who say shit like that have no idea what games are actually on the Switch and I ignore them
I can totally see Ubisoft bring some version of Watch Dogs over while Rockstar sleeps.
Does anyone have a link to any gameplay footage other than on the trailer? It looked a bit rough there in some areas, yet beautiful in others? Hopefully this gets all the content of the other versions as well and with reasonable visual sacrifices.
I dont think the game allows any cross progression on any platforms, so no.
i stoped to play this game years ago now i want to play again but is soooo much diferent now, i don't even know where to start
Splatoon 2 had a single player campaign and that's the only reason I even played the game outside of my house...
Yeah, I always wanted a good Hack and Slash game on Vita, but outside of a shitty port of mobile Dungeon Alliance we didn't get anything. But there were some good HnS games on PSP like Dungeon Siege which was superb for me at a time and very addicting because I had someone to play with. Handhelds are great for this type of games. Switch deserves something like Diablo.
No need to limit it to Blizzard, there are a lot of Western developers looking dumb for not getting their biggest games on the Switch already — WB/Neverealm, Rockstar, Blizzard, Activision, EA... (though I still think a few of them have stuff in the wings)
No, it was a custom Steam Controller profile I downloaded.
Oh that's a shame (about the cross progression). Judging by the quality of other Panic Bottom's ports, probably worth starting a fresh account.
Was there any talk of cross progression?
Also nobody should expect a technical showcase just get it running portable at a solid framerate please

This. At the very least I expected a Diablo 3 announcement given it already released on consoles and it's an idea type game for portable play in addition to home play. We have games like Titan Quest and Victor Vran getting there first as well.
If we see nothing at Blizzcon then that's it. It made complete sense for the Switch version of Warframe to reveal at Tennocon 2018. It makes sense for Blizzard to wait for Blizzcon to announce something. Same with Bethseda at QuakeCon if they have anything else new coming soon. However if Bethseda doesn't say anything I'm not going to freak out cause they have games on the systems and it stands to reason more will come but not all of them that they make. I think this is the last option for Blizzard though when it comes to Hearthstone, Overwatch, and Diablo. They're not coming if there is no announcement and I feel comfortable saying that now. Paladins, Crazy Justice, etc will have Overwatch's spot. Elder Scroll Legends will have Hearthstone's spot and many other games, including Warframe will have whatever piece of the pie Diablo would have gotten.
