Huge Impending Warframe Update

 

With the new Heart of Demios update Warframe players will see possibly the largest amount of changes that have happened at one time in a while.

I have played the game on Xbox, PC and now the Playstation 4, I have never "finished" the game. Really, unless you make the game your life you are unlikely to complete everything. It is a game that really is what the player makes it. 

On the Xbox me and my good friend wandered around blind and had a lot of fun. We didn't even get as far as The Second Dream quest, which kind of flips the game on its head and the real game begins. 

My PC experience was very different, I was guided and educated by more veteran players. I focused on maxing out and formaing two weapons and two frames, essentially making them fairly unbeatable. Nothing was an obstacle between my two choices. 

Now on the PS4 I have taken to exploring as much as possible. I recently hit over twenty warframes and have started preparing some more end game frames for the harder content. Now it is about embracing the beauty of the game, the friends I play it with and just having a good time. 

The wonderful thing about the game is that it is free and you can do all of it for free. Unlock every warframe, weapon and access every mission. There is a grind to get end game abilities and gear but you can do the entire story and enjoy the game without ever attaining it. 

The good news is that with the Heart of Demios release we will see a new opening for new players, hopefully a more player friendly and exciting start to match the later quest arcs. The twists and turns the story takes along the way are suprising and baffling. The Second Dream and the Chains of Harrow really pulled me in like no other free to play game ever has. 

For old and new alike the Heart of Demios will be worth downloading or re-logging into the game. Give it a spin and I promise you you will not be disappointed.

Feed Your Warframes to Your Ship!

One of my favourite reveals of Tennocon was the Helminth Chrysalis System. This allows you to tweak the abilities of your warframe's, for even greater customisation. Each Warframe can be fed to the system to donate a permanent ability. This ability can then be given to any of your other warframes at the cost of resources.

It is a wonderfully morbid idea that I cannot wait to try out. 

Warframe: Heart of Deimos

 

As you know by now Warframe for me is by far the best free to play game that ever existed. hundreds of hours of content, so much so that the majority of casual players will never see all there is to offer. At Tennocon there was a huge host of new content revealed. Today I shall leave the game play reveal of the new open world: Heart of Deimos. 

The graphics and infested environment are astounding. I cannot wait to see what the next gen consoles bring to it.  Until then we have this free expansion hitting Warframe on all platforms on the 25th of August!

The New Open World: Heart of Deimos

"There is a sinister mystery lying underneath Deimos, hiding from even the Entrati and the Infestation that has overtaken the entire moon. We can’t wait for you to experience everything Heart of Deimos has to offer:

- Explore a new open world; a hauntingly-beautiful landscape festering with Infested enemies, the dark Entrati and sights unseen in ever-changing underground cave networks.
- Harness the power of the Void with the Community-designed Xaku, the second-ever Warframe to be designed by the Tenno!
- Customize your Warframe like never before with the Helminth Chrysalis system. Give the Helminth a Warframe to absorb a signature Ability and transfer it to another Warframe."

Tennocon 2020 and Freebies!

Tennocon 2020 snuck up on me. I only realised yesterday it was here and now today it has arrived. As usual Tennocon comes with exclusive mechanise, in game freebies and other such joys. 

The freebies are tied in with twitch and watching Warframe streams. From 12:30pm ET until 5pm ET, you can snag yourself a free pistol and weapon slot for watching 30mins of a stream, then from 5pm until 6pm, do the same to snag Hydroid Prime and a Warframe slot.

Attending the in game relay on Earth will gain you rewards too, but I believe it will be only when the countdown reaches zero, as I have yet to gain any rewards.

You can watch the official stream here.

Here is the event list as follows:

You can make yourself a badge here.

And if Twitch isn't your thing or you missed the event, you can claim some glyphs and an orbiter decoration online here, thanks to Dan Alder. 

Claim a free Syandana here on console.

Claim another Syandana if you have Twitch Prime here.

Warframe: Tiny Captura

For this Friday showcase we have the work of Tiny. Their bold and beautiful Warframe Captura really catches the eye. 

The use of light and shadow is divine and leads to striking portraits. The almost comic book colours and intense lighting create an 80's cyberpunk fantasy that I do not want to draw my eye from.  

Of course these are but a handful of a large and impressive gallery. I implore you to check out the rest of their work here. 

Warframe: Lara Craig

The next feature in the Warframe showcase week is Lara Craig. A positive force in the Warframe community, she is a streamer and gamer with heart. 

Today we are looking at her fine Warframe Captura work, however across her profile you can see a wide variety of other games with photo mode from a wide birth of genres. 

Her use of colour, pose, position and framing is wonderful. Within just these handful of shots you can see a hint at the dedication that Lara has put into the game. Each Warframe has been personally customised and tweaked to her liking. Revealing how well the game allows players to make their Warframe experience their own. 

For more of her beautiful work check out her profile here.

Warframe: Doctor Carnage

The Warframe showcase continues with Doctor Carnage. 

His Warframe portraiture is sublime. Each shot brings with it a mood along with inspiration, not just for the sci-fi but across all forms of virtual photography. The lighting and scenes convey such emotion that one would have thought not possible on a faceless visage. 

From this I think other virtual photographers should be inspired. Anyone can shoot a person or face, but here we see a genuine display of personality and depth. 

For more of his work check out his Instagram page here.

Warframe: VP Vibrancy

I won't often showcase my own work on here but from time to time I do not think it hurts. Here is a selection of Warframe photographs from myself. 

The monsters in the game go neglected in most virtual photographers shots so I often spend time shooting the monsters of the game too. Plenty more of this to come every Monday on my Instagram page for #MonsterMondayVP

Both combat actions and emotes are useful for conveying emotion, slow down time and have a go at creating some dynamic scenes. 

The more Warframes in your arsenal the more you will have to take shots of. In four weeks I now have eleven in my arsenal, three I dispensed with. The seasonal events reward a Warframe slot, as does completing the solo quest The Sacrifice. Completing the War Within also unlocks some more cool photo opportunities, but I shan't spoil the surprise. 

You may not be able to take shots in game but the Captura mode gives you almost everything you could dream of. It is far more expansive than most photomodes and its free!

Warframe: Greatest Majeed

Today is my first in a series of Warframe showcases. Greatest Majeed was kind enough to take me under the banner of his clan when I started out again on PS4. Having played online with him a few times I can say that he is a generous and decent soul. 

Gaming aside I was astounded to see his beautiful gallery of virtual photography on Instagram. Each photo is epic in their scope and the protagonist shot with such power and confidence.

The tenno are captured in the majesty you would expect from a veteran clan leader. Regal and strong they make the perfect focus within the beautiful worlds around them.

Warframe Play it For Free Forever

Lately on Instagram I have been seeing a lot of negativity in the community, which is understandable given the worlds current circumstances. I am seeing a lot of comments about a lack of variation in peoples, feeds, boredom and that people are in a rut with no new games. 

Today I am going to throw out the suggestion of trying out Warframe. It is free to play on PC, Xbox and PS4. It has a delightful captura mode that gives you settings to shoot your character, scanned villains and friends in. That's right, your friends!  What other game allows you to pause the game play and all zoom around taking shots.

Not only can the game can be played from start to finish with your first weapons and Warframe, but the story is vast and expansive. I didn't even get to the end of the story missions until I was around 120 hours in. 

Also, In a recent earnings report (via Gamespot), Leyou Technology - parent company of Warframe developer Digital Extremes - revealed that the company is planning to "expand Warframe to more platforms, such as the next-generation consoles and other devices".  Showcasing that any progress you make on your PS4 or XboxOne will be carried over to the next gen consoles via your gamertag login.

Warframe has been going since 2013 and with each update brings with it mind blowing amounts of free content. The latest introducing ship to ship battles. Previous instalments added larger more MMO areas which hold unique activities and offer custom gear building as well as new types of equipment and weaponry.

For those that haven't heard of the game before, you play the role of a Tenno, an ancient race of warriors, who must explore various planets and moons within the solar system to purge evil and uncover the long lost secrets of the race.

At first the game can seem overwhelming with the huge depth of customisation. But if you take it one step at a time you catch up as you need to. Across all platforms it is still very popular, its free and sits somewhere around 44gb. 

If you're bored and fed up this lock down, give it a try.
