It's been a little while since we last heard of Warframe, the free to play, third person shooter from Digital Extremes. Well, it's in the news once again, this time as a just announced launch title for the PS4.
In addition to the video above, Steve Sinclair, the game's project lead shared some of his thoughts on the PlayStation Blog. Right off the back he makes it clear that it will be in Los Angeles next week:
"Our team has been polishing the demo and cramming in as much as we can to ‘wow’ everyone who gets there hands on it at E3! On Friday we showed the rest of our development studio Warframe on PS4 for the first time and the reaction was unanimous – 1080p Warframe is smooth and beautiful! Like kids with new toys, playing with the PS4’s toolbox of goodies has our minds spinning with design ideas for Warframe…"
Sinclair also notes the controller that one will be using. Apparently, he's a fan of the PS4's new interface:
"I love the DualShock 4. The triggers feel awesome and the touch pad is a sweet addition. Right now, we’re using the touch pad to activate your crazy Warframe powers on the run with a flick of your thumb or finger. Want to lunge and smash with your Rhino Warframe? Swipe your thumb up on the touch pad and you’ll charge like a battering ram into a group of helpless enemies."
Sinclair also notes that there will be an accompanying iOS and Android app, to help players who aren’t in the middle of the game of missions that are underway, along with the prizes they hold in store. Along with:
“… the start screen on our demo literally says “Press X to Ninja”.
