If this was any other company I'd echo that sentiment but this is very much supported (and inspired by) the Warframe people and their approach to monetization. Basically everything will be free to earn, like in Warframe, and premium currency is mostly used to either circumvent that or to simply buy cosmetics. I don't hate it!
This is the publisher of Warframe, not the developer, right? And it's hard to tell what the future will bring with any game, but you're right that Warframe does f2p the best way possible. I mainly get frustrated because the best part of f2p is being able to tell any friend to download a game and try it with me. I get why publishers do this, but it still bothers me.
Yes but they are actively supporting it in terms of the monetization infrastructure. In previous interviews the devs (Airship Syndicate) have also stated that they deliberately opted for the Warframe model.
Yeah this might turn out to be an absolute dud but with DE behind them I have high hopes.
Huh funny, to me the first thing that came to mind (as evident by the thread title) is World of Warcraft. But more stylized and colourful.
I think it's similar to warframe in that someone in your party will be the host inside mission instances.
True, that's a fair comparison too. Many games use that kind of art style these days tbh, but my guess would be that they're trying to attract that Fortnite crowd the most. To me, what defines that style the most are very colourful graphics, characters and objects with exaggerated features and spiky, jagged edges, but still nicely detailed and shiny, lots of special effects and particles, Pixar-style animations, etc.
I actually really enjoyed the last beta and am considering to buy the Awakened Pack (I want that mount and instantaccess to that new character).
Thanks! Took me much longer than I anticipated 'cause I'm so rusty with photoshop but I had fun doing it.
)!Hmm I was under the assumption that all characters can at least equip all weapons? Correct me if I'm wrong on that though.
You need PS Plus for the Early Access period but that's mostly down to Sony's own policies. Once it goes Free-to-Play you don't need any type of monthly console subscription.
Dang too bad, I don't have any plans to re-subscribe at the moment so I'll wait to check it out until it's true release. Probably won't be too long.
Yup a bit disappointing tbh, especially as I have time off now but it is what it is.Wayfinder - Wayfinder Early Access Update - Steam News
Early Access delayed until August 17store.steampowered.com
Last second delay for a couple days.
It's Joe Madureira's work.
Yeah, that actually explains a lot. I can't remember if I mentioned Darksiders but it was definitely one of the earliest examples of this style in video games, and I actually liked it a lot in that series. It gave it it's own unique identity. Also, I gotta be honest, this looks way cooler on paper than after being translated into 3D models.It's Joe Madureira's work.
He also was one of the main art designers behind the Darksiders series(which people also compared to WoW in art style) and his studio Airship Syndicate, who also made this game, is behind Battle Chasers and Ruined King. You might also recognize his art from his 90s works, Udon collaborations, and Playstation Magazine. I know it's colorful(and that makes people instantly think of Fortnite on this forum for some reason) but once you play the game or look at more footage of it, you'll start to notice the differences in art style and his usage of sharp, sometimes rigid lines over curves.
To take a step back and look at it from that perspective I understand. Before Fortnite was no. 1, this guy's art would be compared to WoW constantly before that, and I'm sure it was compared to something else before WoW, so I'm sure for him it's nothing new lol.
Servers don't work. Been 2 hours now. Mostly Negative on Steam lol
Indeed, lots of first timers it seems.
Wtf....its like PSO??????
I will go into it more once I physically see people playing it.
