Warframe coming to Nintendo Switch (port by Panic Button)
- Thread starter Chairmanchuck (另一个我)
- Start date
Well the more Panic button play and tweck the Switch, the more they gonna know about the machine and the limitation it can get
It's just sad to see the company that invested so much in Mobile a few years ago now backtracking on it's achievements. RE Revelations was incredible to see on the 3DS back in the day. Anyway, apologies for derailing the discussion. I have never played Warframe, but I'll definitely be giving it a shot when it hits the switch. Always excited to see big achievements on switch like this.
It's probable but we don't know yet. Panic button didn't hesitate to heavily gimp the graphics to reach an almost steady 60fps on rocket league, so I want to believe they would do the same here. I sure hope so.
And again, the funny part is that psyonix actually improved dramatically the graphics later on while keeping the 60fps. Literally the best case scenario. That being said, if it was 60 fps on switch, I think they would have advertised it.
I never played Warframe but if it's a shooter, I prefer 30fps/gyro than 60fps/stick. Maybe that's just me trying to convince myself it's fine.
Warframe is notorious for having a problem with shoving to your face all kind of systems/subsystems, currencies, to the point you don't even know where to begin. A lot of people drop it for that reason. If you can truck on you'll find an amazing coop loot shooter that put games like Destiny to absolute shame.
I know, I was mostly kidding about the miracles part. I think the idea of games like Doom being "impossible ports" is a silly notion for people to bring forward when they don't know anything about the game and how scalable it might be. Not that I know anything about it either lol only the devs themselves would know for certain
This game can run on a toaster which means it can run circles on the switch. I'm hoping the game is running at 60fps on both modes of the switch.
I think I have an unpopular opinion, but I'd like Panic Button to use their knowledge of the Switch to make a game that isn't heavily technically compromised. It's really awesome what they accomplish, but I see these games and think about what had to be taken out. I'd instead really like to see them build an original game or make a "definitive edition" port of a last-gen game. It's just a silly personal psychological thing.
There's an official convention (TennoCon) dedicated to the game happening today (Saturday), hence the announcement.

It's Tennocon right now, they are dropping announcements left and right.
Pretty much this, movement and shooting feels bad, but they offer you. ALOT of content for free. So if you only play this game, you will no longer notice jank and shooting mechanics compared to other games and you will learn to enjoy it.
It's been on PS4 I think almost since the PS4 launched? I was playing it when the only other shooter was COD Ghosts and that game was horrible. This is a great get for the Switch. People's lives are about to be taken over.
I don't understand; you say it runs on a toaster and I'm willing to believe you. Others in this thread say it struggles on Xbox/PS4 and I have no reason not to believe them either. Is it a game that's just badly optimized on consoles but smooth on toaster PCs?
It really can't run on a crappy PC, it's a fairly intensive game, especially nowadays. And the console versions do have problems.
Seeing how greatly psyonix improved rocket league, I hope panic button will make the bulk of the work (i.e. running the game at 240p/60fps :D) before DE takes over to smoothen rough edges.
Not really. It's a very intensive game. My old laptop, which is a lot stronger than Switch, struggles with it.
Barring the Plains of Eidolon, it can run on an Intel HD 620 with a modern gen i3. Obviously the performance isn't the greatest (30-50FPS at 720p) but it is playable.
What's more relevant to me is the console's performances. Is it locked 60fps on Xbox for example? If it struggles, it'll be interesting to see how they handle a port on switch of a game without much overhead.
The CPUs in the consoles are the big problem with Warframe basically. Your toaster PC will almost 100% will have a much better CPU than any existing console.
I wonder if they are gonna update the game at the same speed of other consoles or have its own update time behind the consoles updates
thats the concern, Plains of Eidolon is more resource intensive than the rest of the game. my guess a locked 30fps.
That I don't know, sadly, as I haven't touched the PS4 version in years. Looking around, it appears the PS4 Pro maintains a solid 60 FPS, but I can't find anything on the OG console.
Maybe the perfomance has worsened recently; I haven't played much Warframe in the recent years, however back when I played a lot the game was very very well optimized and could indeed run on any toaster with appropriate settings. The beta of warframe was unoptimized but after the beta they polished the hell out of it.
that 100% depends on wether they bring it in house after panic button does the port, or if they sub contract them permanently.
honestly the space combat stuff they showed off tonight has me concerned for consoles.
Locked? Never.
Theres so much shit going on in the later levels that the cpu is gonna creak.
This is amazing, honestly the value I've gotten out of the Switch from free games/demos alone has been astonishing.
I'm waiting for someone with a PC and the game installed to check how it plays at 30fps. But I still have remote hopes that panic button are gonna do what they can to maintain 60, they did it before.
shame then already put well over 500+ hours on pc before i last put it down gonna avoid going through that again.
Hahahaha I played over 2,000 hours of Destiny 1 and you are pretty spot on. Loved playing Warframe on PS4, can't wait to see it on Switch.
Not sure if this has been posted, but Massivelyop asked about Crossplay/Crossprogression:

I mean the ai is no smarter than say hyrule warriors/ fire emblem warriors, so if they can do large crowds on the switch, so can warframe.
Please make this happen. Would be amazing for me to take my PC save.
I don't mind having 2 separate saves (I did it with Destiny 2) but would be much more happy if that PC save can be played on my Switch.
Oh, man. I would love to see PC, Switch, Xbox Cross-play/Cross-progression.
I wonder how achievements would work for Steam and Xbox tho. Maybe if the account is linked to both XBL and Steam, both achievements would be unlocked? Switch obviously doesn't have that issue.
