The New War trailer is definitely eye candy for veterans of the game. It's the culmination of YEARS of story and lots of waiting. The Warframes are not suits like many people still think but techno biological avatars made for war and espionage with various magic like powers. Your character is actually the young humans you see (called Tenno), that posses the Warframe from a remote position in space. They got powers from surviving an "accident" while in a colony ship traversing a space called the void that was being used as a faster way of travelling. There is way too much lore for me to say here so that was just a tidbit with as little spoilers to the story as I could give while also making some sense.
Yep, It's really difficult to say anything without spoiling major parts of the story. The video itself is already a pretty massive spoiler for those who haven't finished the story and don't yet know what the warframes actually are. If you're interested in getting more info outside of trailers, check the video about Warframes timeline: ua-cam.com/video/EOgVcvFYvRk/v-deo.html it gives you a really basic understanding of what's going on.
Nice summary but oh my god I couldn't even imagine trying to give full context to new war. Especially to someone who hasn't played that's like asking to write an essay.
3:39 "She got shot? And then she's just there. Because she's magic?" As someone who has played this game for over 3000 hours over the span of seven years and read up on basically all of the lore... yeah basically
Ok so this is a game with a very... stretched story. It has come out in bits and pieces ever since it was released in 2014 and can be difficult to follow without reading up/playing the game. Here is what you need to know to understand the first trailer you watched: Major Spoilers for the entire story! You play as a "Tenno", a child with special powers that came when they were exposed to some weird space stuff. They can possess fighting machines called Warframes (the robot looking things with no "eyes"). Using these machines they fight to protect people and save lives. The Tenno used to work for a race of advanced Humans called the "Orokin" who dominated the solar system but they were greedy, cruel, and decadent. The Tenno rebelled against the Orokin and pretty much wiped them out during the "Old War". Before they rebelled though, the Orokin had another enemy called the "Sentients" - these were artificial lifeforms that the Orokin used in deep space before they gained sentience (hence the name). They are the ones at the beginning of the first trailer that look like bugs. They too wanted to kill the Orokin but also everything else that wasn't one of them. The Tenno fought them, defeated them, and then went after the Orokin. The Sentients were pushed into deep space. The Tenno had a shared mother figure called the "Lotus" (the lady with the big purple hat covering most of her face), affectionately called "Space Mom" by the playerbase. The Lotus would send the Tenno on missions and was their best ally. But eventually the Sentients returned and revealed that the Lotus was actually one of them, made to mimic humans and integrate with them but she fell too much into her own lie and forgot her true origins as a Sentient, but one of them reminded her of her true origins (I'm simplifing things here people, don't @ me) and she left the Tenno and joined with the Sentients again who now are about to start a "New War" on the system. The woman you see at the beginning of the first trailer with her face in multiple pieces is what has become of the Lotus since she rejoined her kind. So now the Tenno have to fight back against the Sentients and their own mother figure, hence the crying Tenno (the younger girl) at the end of the first trailer. In that trailer we see the Tenno's memories of the Lotus and of fighting when controlling a Warframe. The scene on the red ship is the present in the timeline shown. There is a lot more I am missing out but I hope that makes sense to you.
"I don't know what's going on" is the summary of the story so far. Lots of political power plays, lots of backstabbing, and lots of teens with space magic.
@@psychologicalFudge I think I've got like ~1600 in-game hours...at least 50% of those is just from me sitting on the orbiter tweaking builds and watching videos
as an veteran ex-player, watching these trailers back again does bring tears to my eyes. Seeing Warframe slowly grew from Beta to this point. So much have changed. Just beautiful
"Is everyone an alien in this?" It'd be more accurate to say that (almost) nobody is an alien in this. Warframe's dark setting boils down to, "Humans gonna human until there's literally snow on Venus, for starters."
God, the reveal of the Dream in Warframe is still one of my fondest memories in gaming. I spent a couple hundred hours before Second Dream, before the big Tenno reveal, thinking I was just playing as this weird, mute space-wizard. And then that lotus pod opens up AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I hear ya, it's how I imagine it was for people when they found out Vader was Luke's father! I still remember my Inaros barely scraping through the last level and walking up to the pods. All I was thinking "damn, am I now going to have to escort some Orokin bigshot". Then my boi collapsed and that thing was crawling towards me. From that point to the final part of the quest, I was slowly putting together what was going on. Like I was in shock and needed 15 minutes to process. Still gives me chills thinking about it! Probably replay Natah, Second Dream, War Within, Harrow's mission, and the Sacrafice just so I can be refreshed
@@koboldprime2257 I wish my experience was a bit more like this. As a newbie I joined a clan and they helped me with everything. They all told me to play second dream. But I was still in the chat and while I was playing the second dream my clan boss was already talking about what was about to happen next. Nontheless still one of the best experiences. But I really should have left that voice chat lmao
Oh yeah i have been following this game since it was first released on steam from the ancient beta and the times there was no orbiter to act as a menu for you or anything. I just thought oh cool a game about space ninjas with parkour and all, it was free so i played it for a bit, took a few breaks before it got a bit further. And i got so used to playing as these weird robots, i always wondered how they worked and how come i can equip different ones. And when they revelied Tenno after years i have been used to playing as weird bio robots i was blown away.
If there is one single moment in all of gaming history I wish I could relive... That is is. The entire Second Dream quest line and that amazing reveal!
@@HannaHsOverInvested Not sure if you know but DE is based in London, ON and the opening cinematic was done by Dan Trachtenburg who did the boys and also is involved with the john wick movies. He is a fan of the game and asked to work with them.
"Oh, there's a person inside!" To drastically oversimplify, that person is basically our surrogate mother, and she is now against us, and we are very hurt and confused.
Edit: Adding a MASSIVE SPOILER Alert, if you dont want to be spoiled for the major quest such as Second Dream and War Within, please skip over. Q: "Do You Play As The Tenno?" A: Yes and No. No because those they control are called Warframes, which are like their second body or more accurately, a suit of bio-mechanical armor, and your main form of combat they gain experience with and unlock more abilities with, (If your curious, the frames you seen so far are: Excalibur, Mag, Volt, Rhino, Nova) The Tenno are often refered to as children, as they are... but the way they control the Frames is (before The Awakening Quest, ) is transferring their conscious to the Warframe, so they can see with no obstruction but it isn't really conveyed , hence why you questioned how can they see from Excalibur's Helmet. but Yes, because later in the questline, your able to make your Tenno/Operator, and your able to use various abilities (which I will not spoil) but any professional WF Players might reply to this to correct any information which is greatly appreciated. So, take what I typed with a grain of salt. P.S: The blue smoke/energy you see in the new war's cinematic trailer with Excalibur, Mag, and Volt (in that order) during the flashbacks where they bowed was their operators leaving the frames to protect themselves, since I think whatever the frames feel, the operator does too. The Kubrow/Dog is actually an in-game companion (so look forward to getting your first doggo) Kavats/Cats are also another pet you can get, but requires some time investments. During the scene where Nova gets hit by the rocket, The Operator used transference to get out of the frame, and therefore not take any lethal damage, and then wiped out grineer because why not. but one more; professional WF Players might reply to this to correct any information which is greatly appreciated.
Yea, you need to put a spoiler warning up top. We are kinda protective about not spoiling the story, even if the trailers do a little. Players will go so far as to not even use certain abilities to not spoil things. I was so thankful to the hundreds of players I grouped with who didn't spoil one of the best quests I've ever done in a game. Great info otherwise. But yea, please spoiler warning
Addition. The "bugs" are "sentients" Sentient machines sent to terraform the Tau system. They came back to rebel. The "bug with a face" is Natah / Lotus. Her job was to infiltrate the government destroy it from the inside and kill the tenno. She took a synthetic body and became the tennos primary care giver. Our "Space Mom" skipping a lot of story the reason the Tenno is crying is it looks like we are going to have to kill our Space Mom.
@@simonm1233 True that, If I see people under MR 10, I do my best to only use my Warframe. Makes rezing a lot harder but as long as I'm not the one that spoiled it for them, I'd count that as mission accoplished.
I love how she says at the end " I almost understand " all warframe players still don't understand why we still fighting, some warframe youtubers think players are the villains.
Love seeing Canadian content cross support like this! Love seeing a Canadian company (DE) finding and supporting Canadian content creators (you)! 4 year Warframe fan here (and canadian). The game def has some strong story notes around family issues. There's lots going on but if you can find a like 15min catch up video some of the emotional beats of the New War trailer will make more sense and hit harder (as others have mentioned) Love the content and love seeing this reaction :)
*I can answer pretty much all of your questions, hopefully you see this:* (spoiler warning) 1) The "bugs" are called sentients. They're the most powerful type of enemy in the whole game. 2) The big "bug" is called the lotus. Since the start of the game she has acted as the adoptive mother for the operator (the magic human), but it turns out that she's secretly been a shapeshifting "bug" this whole time. Also, she recently defected back to the side of her fellow "bugs", which is why the girl is crying in the end, she's basically killing her mom. 3) The tenno aren't really the ones with the guns/ sword, technically those are warframes. The tenno are actually the magic humans, although the term "tenno" is often used to describe both of them interchangeably. The magic humans are also often called the operator. 4) An important thing to know is that the operator (magic humans) are actually controlling the warframes (the ones with the guns/ sword). Basically the operators got into a weird spaceship accident that gave them laser powers, as well as the power to bond with and control certain beings, they mainly just control warframes though. 5) The operators/ warframes are fighting because they are kind of like the cops of the universe. Or maybe they're more like dictators. Basically, any time a group gets too powerful they wipe out like half the population. It's pretty unethical, but that's how it is. 6) In the game, after you make enough progress, you can actually separate from your warframe and play as just the operator. That's why when she got shot she emerged in her human form. 7) When you're in battle as the operator, the operator isn't actually there physically. All of the operators are actually sleeping in a safehouse on the moon. They're using their powers to project themselves into any place they are needed. That's why she woke up as if having a night mare. That's also why they keep talking about dreaming and waking up in these trailers. 8) Also, just so you know, the second video you watched (the official cinematic opening) was the intro to the game. Basically the warframes have been collecting dust for centuries, and now you're here to pick one and take it for a spin. 9) I'm not entirely sure how they see to be honest with you. Magic tenno powers I suppose.
@@Zyxiur I don't quite get what you're trying to say, but yeah, Natah and the lotus are the same. I just simplified my explanation so that a non-gamer would understand.
The new war trailer is very much for veterans of the game. Even those with only 100 hours in the game may not really understand what this trailer means, but as a veteran, I am so excited for it.
Tbf when u know what are you doing you can catch up mid-end game content in 150 hours, but playing blinded can make you take like 200 hours just to reach the first milestone (second dream)
Things you'd need to know to understand the New War trailer: -What a warframe (the 'robot' 'suit') is. -Who the Grineer are (at least enough to know why you fight them). -The story of the Tenno/ The 10-0 ship -The story of the Second Dream quest (which is spoilers, but it's all spoiled by the New War trailer anyway.) -Who the Sentients are (the floaty red guys.) -Who the Lotus is. -The story of the Natah quest
@@HannaHsOverInvested i think to kinda understand what those warframe are you kinda need to See some of the sacrifice to understand what some warframes really are
First off congrats on the sponser!!! (SPOILERS AHEAD) Okay backstory, this may be long lol. Yes we play as the Tenno the human girl that we saw, she controls the Warframes the ones that we're doing most of the fighting. To explain why the first trailer is so emotionally charged, it's because of that big Sentient woman. She's been a mother figure to us for the entire game, that woman dressed in purple was her and she was called the Lotus, then she got Corrupted and turned back into a Sentient. So all those flashbacks was us remembering her as she was and then coming back to the present to face her, hence her tears. Okay I hope this helped a little bit? Warframe is a very lore heavy game and watching a trailer like the New War as you're first introduction to it is definitely difficult. But I hope that you can understand that trailer a little bit more now.
Wait did lotus get corrupted? I dont remember what particular story mission was is but im pretty sure she chose sentients over the tenno. I remember her brother saying to her to stop this mother figure non sense and remember what your true purpose is.
@@killchoi091 no she was corrupted. Ballas did his little hand wave and took her away. She's not actually evil like everyone says she is, you can clearly see from this trailer and the last few cutscenes in the game that she is being manipulated.
13:10 Always the Tenno, but usually we are controlling the Warframes, their Bio-Mechanical Armors, that you see fighting with guns in the first and second trailer. There are lots of them, each with their own kind of power, theme and even inspirations. In the first trailer you can see Nova, Rhino and Excalibur, and in the second, you can see Excalibur, Mag and Volt. My favorites are Harrow, which is a cursed priest, and Gara, a Glass manipulator that can turn people into solid glass statues.
Oh the magical feeling of feeling all that for the first time, from waking up from your pod to now going face to face with the gut wrenching feeling of the final decision. I hope the new war is what we been waiting for so long to be
Basic plot of the trailer: the kid is jumping through different points of their history, most of them focusing on the mommy figure. They're crying because they don't want to have to shoot their surrogate mommy with a void (space magic) beam.
Rather than watching just game trailers, i would love to see your reaction to game lore video/ game recaps, and then rewatch the trailers after you have a sort of basic understanding of what is happening.
@@HannaHsOverInvested yea i saw. And those are really great. I like to see when finally a trailer you didnt understand initially, finally clicks because u have the basic lore.
Hi Hannah, I really liked your Halo reaction few weeks ago. I like to recommend you Halo Legends: The Duel. Its 21 minutes long. Its one of the sort films released to explain some of the lore that didnt fit in the game. I hope you enjoy it!
"What the heck is going on" 90% of this video is in her head. Its all memories of her past and her relationship with the Lotus (the "bug" at the start of the video that you thought had a person inside of it). On the "team work" scene where you see Nova (the one that is shot in the back), Rhino (big guy that landed on the ground and knocked everyone up into the air) and Excalibur (the one with the sword) - The Tenno is the "girl" (also known as an "Operator") you see in the cinematic where as the others are whats known as "Warframe". They are semi-sentient "robots" that are controlled by the Tenno (who is located in a pod away from combat). The Tenno has the power to "replace" the Warframe in whats known as "Physical Transference". So when Nova is shot - The Tenno replaces Nova and she uses her own powers (laser beam from the hands) to destroy the remaining Grineer soldiers. The other 10% is of current events where the Tenno is thrown into what we view as "betrayal" by the Lotus. You see the Lotus in 3 of her 4 "forms". Margulis (her human form), Lotus (the form where she is "motherly" and carrying the Tenno after she was injured) and Natah (the one you keep calling a "bug"). "Is this you? Is this us?" Yes. This is us (and a Kubrow - Which are dog-like creatures we can raise from eggs). "Do you play as the Tenno?" EVEVERYONE plays as the Tenno. That is who controls the Warframes. Dax (the one speaking about his Empire - The Orokin - falling) is an ally of ours and is a relic of the old war.
Warframe rough story from someone who hasn't played in a while: SPOILERS AHEAD BTW Warframes story revolves around galactic conflict. Initially, in the pre-game history, the area of space the game takes place in was controlled by a power-hungry, highly technologically advanced galactic empire known as The Orokin Empire. The Tenno, mentioned often in the trailers, were the children who survived a spaceship void jump accident. (The ship was called the Zariman Ten-Zero, hence Ten-Oh, hence Tenno). The ship was recovered days after the incident, and only the children had survived the unintended jump through void space. They had strange, unstable abilities the likes of which were never seen before for their efforts (think psionics, or space magic). They were feared and reviled for these abilities, and quickly chucked into containment. Initial attempts by the orokin to test these abilities and other experimentation led to multiple deaths - as the children were ticking time bombs who couldn't control their powers, both experimenters and kids died during these tests. They were swiftly halted on a widescale basis, but smaller less intrusive testing continued. Around this time, The Orokin Empire became entwined in a losing war against the Sentients - an advanced creation of theirs meant to act as a vanguard to their own conquests, meant to soften the advance of their own fleets, that went rogue and came back with a vengeance. As the Sentients were basically AI, all technological advances the Orokin made to combat the Sentients just made them lost that bit quicker. So as they were on the verge of collapse, they desperately returned to investigating the powers of the void-touched children. By this point, an Orokin researcher had found out that the kids' powers could be harnessed easier through their dreams as it would allow them to focus and control their powers. This researcher, a woman named Marguilis, was executed for trying to protect the children when the empire sought to use them for war. Her research was then used to create a process known as *Transference.* Transference is the process of remotely channeling the kids consciousness into a seperate vessel - The Warframe. These warframes were made to enhance and further fine-tune the kids abilities in the ways of war. Since they were using void energy rather than any kind of technological devices, and the warframes were biomechanical in nature (IE, they were artificial organic tissue mass with mechanical structure that would allow one to control it as if it was their own body, due to artifical nervous systems and muscles etc under a mechanical shell), the Sentients had no way to exploit or control these warframes like they did other orokin technologies, and they proved too much for them to handle, swiftly bringing an end to the war. The kids, dubbed the Tenno by this point, resented the Orokin. They knew of Marguilis's execution, someone they all saw as mother, and hated that they were basically turned into soldiers, whose phsycial bodies were kept in pods on the moon as they were put into warfront after warfront. They knew the Orokin would likely wish to use them to continue their expansion. So after the Sentients were beaten back and the Orokin celebrated, the Tenno, as the Orokin held a ceremony giving them alocades, honours and medals etc etc, took the opportunity to swiftly attack and remove the top end of the Orokin Empires leadership in a brutal and unseen assassination spree. The Orokin empire swiftly began to collapse. At the same time, another presence that meant a lot to the Tenno was actually a plant of the Sentients that was meant to destroy the Tenno from within after revealing the location of their hidden, physical bodies. But by the time this agent, Natah, was able to complete her mission, she instead sabotaged it, hiding the moon in the void and putting the children to sleep for a long time, their warframes scattered and lost, their link to the Tenno severed by the moons entrance to the void. When the systems previously owned by the Orokin became the warground of various fighting factions, with the sentients and other factions closing in around the chaos, The Tenno were woken up to help stabilise everything. That was the ztarting point of the game iirc, quite a number of years ago. Although most of that wasn't known initially. You play as a Tenno (who, after reaching a certain point in the game, can customise aspects of) who controls a Warframe. Each warframe can have a primary weapon, secondary weapon and melee weapon from the players collection (no restrictions on who can use what) and the frame they use determines the abilities usable, as well as base statistics like health, movement speed, armour etc. Base gameplay involves finding new warframes and weapons to build, getting the items needed to build them, then improving them so you can find and build more newer ones, with missions that act as a loose story around them all. As your Tenno had no recollection of anything that appointed during this time, their jntial goal is to find out who they are, what they're doing etc. You dont actually find out that the Warframes contain a person's consciousness until quite a bit into the story, and a good many hours into playing the game. Basic gameplay involves running through corridors or protecting objectives whilst absolutely shitting on easily 3 figures worth of enemies.Its also a massive time-sink of a game that requires a lot of gameplay to get the items needed to collect the blueprints of weapons and warframes, then the items needed to build them, then the experience needed to level them up to their full potential.
The information about the Warframes themselves is not quite correct. They weren't made for the Tenno. They were a separate project by Balas to integrate Infested Biology with soldiers to make "Frames of War" to fight the Sentients. The project got scrapped due to the "Warframes" being unstable and impossible to control no matter what method they tried. And then Transference along with the Tenno came along. The missing pieces that were able to calm the Frame's rage. Thus two projects were combined into one and the Tenno and Warframes became two halves of a whole. Inseparable. Balas lays this all out in the Sacrifice quest. You literally experience it with Umbra.
@@WraithReaper09 Ah sweet, cheers for the corrections. I played on and off over the span of a couple of years but with several months in-between each time (The constant grind is something I loathe but the smooth af gameplay tends to bring me back eventually) so there's no surprise there's wrong info in there. Im not even sure if I've done that quest (I played for literally over one hundred hours before realising the quests were storyline stuff - idk if I forgot after it eas introduced to me, or if I was meant to figure that out on my own and just didn't, but hey-ho. I was just bombing about the map opening up the planets as much as possible then grinding for the open-world frames despite it being ludicrously challenging at that stage of the game, because I'm all kinds of dumb) Honestly I dont think I remember any of the quests except the initial BOOM there's a person in/and/or around the warframe reveal. Might have to install the game again. *Something something unbreakable cycle something something.*
@@kronksstronkstonks6360 Yeah. There's a lot to get your head around. But the Sacrifice is definitely a quest you'll want to play. And you get Excalibur Umbra from it.
I’ve put in over 1.5 thousand hours into Warframe, and I LOVE it. I’ve loved every second of it. From farming Primes in the void to the cinematic story missions added after years of very little story, from staring as a newbie to helping newbies grow into veterans, it’s been a long 6 years. This new war that is coming has me pumped but also has me scared; I don’t want to lose space mom. Some people are indifferent, but Warframe has grown to be a part of me; so much that the cinematic trailers they’ve finally added choke me up a bit. I don’t want it to end but I HAVE to see where it’s going
As someone that plays Warframe, this is a surprise. The game has great lore that has been weaved together over the course of 8 years now. If you are interested in checking out some fan lore videos, the 'Ouroboros' series by Rahetalius is one of the best ones out there. Edit: *(story spoilers below)* In the game, you play as a Tenno, newly awakened by the Lotus (purple lady) after being in stasis for 1000+ years. The Tenno were children who were part of a society of quasi-immortal beings known as the Orokin, but during a space voyage with their parents, a space rift opened and pulled the Zariman Ten-Zero (the ship they were on) into the Void a.k.a an alternate dimension. The ship was missing for years and considered lost, but it suddenly re-appeared one day... when the Orokin boarded the ship, they found that only the children had survived- but the Void had changed them, scarred them, and seemingly in return, gifted them strange powers. The children, dubbed "Tenno" after the Zariman 10-0, and conscripted into the war (The Old War) against the Infested (flesh monster things), with each Tenno being psychically linked to a Warframe, each crafted to enhance the Tenno's Void given powers. -
Damn, I remember Ouroboros about Mirage. Absolute blast if you understand all of the references and implications, but completely incomprehensible if you don't. Other Ouroboroses are better in that regard. (Still, assuming you watch Mirage's one after Mirage Prime Trailer and understand that Mirage was driven insane before/while being turned into war machine then the Ouroboros becomes thematically fitting even if you don't understand what Mirage is hallucinating about/getting flashbacks to) I'm joining recommending Hannah to watch Ouroboroses (or at least to watch the series' trailer to understand the tone of the series and then decide for herself if she is into that kind of mesmering dark/horror vibes ua-cam.com/video/BP0s0zzQDUM/v-deo.html )
Having played Warframe since the very beginning, the new trailer is heartbreaking when you know the history. The trauma, the treachery, the pain. Its horrible.
Holy shit, DE sponsoring Hannah?! If there's ever a time to actually become a gamer, now's the time Hannah! But good luck though, Warframe has a brutal learning curve.
Warframe: AKA the game that lets you spend 20 hours learning its systems until you think you’ve figured it out only to laugh; backhand you in the face and show you another 3 complex gameplay systems with no tutorials.
I feel this in the depths of my soul, I spent so many hours watching tutorial videos it's insane how deep the gameplay is with what one can do for something a simple as picking out a wareframe to choosing different weapon types and making the balance of an op defense and offense
You play as the Tenno, a child soldier and the only one that can control the "robot suits" called Warframes, in the trailer the Tenno needs to fight their mother figure, the Lotus, since she was abducted and transformed by the red things. The trailer are flashbacks from the times that The Lotus helped and comforted them.
@@HannaHsOverInvested yes, they pretty much are since the are doing most of the fighting by using their Warframes(robot looking people), but they themselves are really fecking strong
Essentially, we used to have a mother figure early in the story. She is the lady that holds you in the first trailer when you wake from your nightmare. She eventually died due to plot reasons. Eventually, a bad person in the story shows up to kill us. However, instead of killing us, she takes pity and ends up essentially adopting us. She takes on the human form of our previous mother figure who died previously. That's the lady you see with the weird helmet. She has been our in-game mother figure in the game for years and years (real life years) - our guide and benefactor (and we only found out that the original mother figure and the "new" mother figure who looks like her were different people just a few years ago). We found out many years later that she "used" to be a bad guy, but when she came to kill us, she instead took mercy on us and became our protector. Essentially, she has been our "mom" for many game years. However, due to plot reasons, something happened, and she's reverted back to the "dark side". That's why you see her all messed up looking like bug lady. The first trailer is essentially you as a player confronting mom in her evil form, but then you get flashbacks back when she used to be your loving mother, and even a memory of the "original" mother figure. As kids, you were raised as a weapon, but you were just a kid, so the combat scared you, but then you'd see your mother figure, and it would calm you and you could focus on the combat. All that gave you PTSD, so you'd wake up from nightmares of combat, but your mother figure would be there to comfort you. The end of the trailer then brings you back to "real time" where you're in front of evil mother. You raise your hand ready to strike, but only after tears come streaming down your face because...you're about to try to kill who was your loving mother for 10+ years of gameplay. We don't know if we'll have to actually defeat her, or if we'll be able to bring her back to the good side. It's harsh though. A lot of players feel exactly how the kid does in the video because she has always been there with us over the years as a protector and guide. We all call her "Space Mom". XD The thought that "Space Mom" left us and betrayed us was hard, and it's even harder that we may need to be the ones to stop her, now.
Man that's surprisingly cool to watch, having my inner voice just blurting out answers to her questions lol like yeah she's basically magic, she's fighting grineer, these cloned nitwist, and she got hit so her semi robotic body she was controlling called a warframe was knocked out so her physical and actual self took its place and she beamed magic and oh man it's cool to have that going on in the back of my head
Honestly the New War cinematic conveys to me the betrayal our Tenno felt as the 'person' in the suit you see in the beginning is the same person the child was clinging to when they awoke from their nightmare. The Grineer Bombard that blasted her Nova, revealing the child is probably a nod to how far we've come. In the beginning, we simply thought we were just cybernetic space ninja's who could also perform magic, then we found out that we're not the husk but rather the child controlling the husk. Even still, we could only disembark from our Warframe for seconds at a time until we learned how to hone our power over transference.
I really like this game its story & cHaracters & factions. IGN did a video recently called warframes most important story moments so far, it does a really good job of explaining most things.
New War which is the sequel to 2 other quests in game. Both of those previous quests were some of the best narrative I've ever seen. I cried hard at the end of them both. Even watching the 2nd trailer you watched still bring tears to my eyes cause of what it's referencing from the 2 other quests. Even if you only play the game for those 2 quests it's completely worth it.
Warframe is the one game I always come back to. Whenever I play other games I find myself wishing they had features from Warframe. I've been playing for 8 years now and I sometimes write fanfic of my Tenno, Rayvan.
The story told through those phase sliding waves of void energy is so good and the cinematic makes you remember all the good that came after our operator s dark past but also focuses you're mind that what has passed has passed and to focus on the danger and to fight the evil that you once trusted
There are no aliens in Warframe. Everything alive is either human, made from human, or heavily modified from original Earth life. We got normal humans, we got cyborg humans, we got clone humans, we got plant humans, we got synthetic humans, we got freaky mixtures of all those, and we got immortal psychic humans, and then we got... voided humans, the Tenno.
The new war trailer definitely conveys the story very well for vets and people halfway through the game with as little spoilers as possible (there's some but they aren't too crazy and forward). I'm hyped for the release of the story to see what happens with the lotus and the sentients
Here is the super simple jist of warframe for the layman: A bunch of teens with powers (they call themselves tenno) acting as mercenaries can "poof" in and out of dead zombie corpses with different powers, those corpses are called warframes. The story is basically: There were a bunch of super powerful entities that ruled over everything They were assholes so everyone turned on them The empire fell apart The leftover servants of that empire broke into factions You're left to clean up the mess. A chick called the lotus raised you as an orphan (long story) and she helps guide you That's as much as I can say without any massive spoilers.
8:00 The warframes shown in this trailer are Excalibur, mag and volt in that order. They are the starter warframes you can choose at the start. There are 54 warframes and even more if you count the prime variant which is a stronger variant to the base one (Excalibur has a special variant called Excalibur Umbra that you unlock in a story quest). Most if not all frames can be farmed in some way going from doing specific missions for the part blueprints to gainging reputation with specific factions. Primes can be unlocked through relics.
Most of the scenes in the New War cinematic are flashbacks to emotionally contextualise the new quest. Also good to see you're sponsored by Digital Extremes!
I might repeating someone else but all you'd really need to know to sorta understand the new war trailer is the "bug" with a humanoid face was once called the lotus who was responsible for waking the tenno (us). She sorta represented and command / mother figure to us but he identity was not really know until she took of her mask which revealed her true identity which was that she was a sentient (bug) which is the in a way is the arch nemesis of the tenno. Hopefully that helped in some capacity
Thanks a lot for this fresh perspective, it's always nice to see people from the outside peeking in. Most of the WF community doesn't like to explain the game too much cause spoils a lot of it. And denies some really emotional events. But if you are interested, the whole story we got so far aint that long and there are thousands -of heretics- who posted them. A BIG story quest is "Second Dream".
Tl;DR- Tenno are superpowered children that can possess biomechanics war machines (warframes), the "bugs" are a robotic species called sentient, the lady "bug" is The Lotus (aka Space Mom) who took the place of a parent for the tenno and now is, due to shenanigans, trying to kill the children she helped raise. hope that helps =)
As someone that knows around 90% of the lore and has over 1000 hours played of the game, this trailer is amazing and explains some things believe it or not. Like, when you die in the game isn't because you literally die, it's because the Warframe broke.
Never ever I’ve seen DE actually sponsored anyone that much, but it’s your time to shine! I have an over 8k hours in this game, and, believe it or not… only HALF of this is an actual gameplay! there’s much more Warframes (aka Tenno, for you) than you’ve seen in the trailers, might as well check out “Warframe Profiles”! some of them are incredibly outdated but still gives you a good idea of what they are capable of. (things such as “Tenno reinforcements” is not recommended to watch, you’ll die tryin’) no, I’m NOT going to say what the other 4k were for, it’ll ruin the surprise ;)
The end of thY last trailer reaction "Oh! I almost understand!" Actually perfect way to end this video tbqh. Almost like the "Story So Far" was made for that exact reaction for the uninitiated
A simple way of understanding what the Tenno are, are people who can in some way teleport themselves into the Warframes using an ability called "Transference" (Frames of war, in other words, armor suits designed for war.), the first trailer with all the bug people, were one of the opposing factions, the sentients, and it's been a while since I played Warframe, but the woman who didn't have a full face (Lotus or Natah, or maybe space mom since that was what she used to be to the Tenno.), the woman was also the purple lady in a couple of the flashbacks.
Btw, there's way more Frames of war in the game, you only saw a tiny bit, Excalibur (the frame with the sword made of light), Mag (the frame who controls gravity, second trailer), Volt (The frame with control of electricity who was running in the battlefield while everything was stopped in time because he's as fast as lightning, second trailer), Rhino (The frame with pure brute strength ramming through everything, first trailer) Nova (the frame who makes portals in the corridor for Rhino and herself, first trailer), those are all, also the dog in the second trailer was a Kubrow, it is fun to have in your home.
"Is it a nightmare?" After over 2000 hours into the game, I can confirm the waking reality of the Tenno is entirely a nightmare. I'm not happy about that.
The most context I can give to the New War trailer without spending an absurd amount of time explaining details: The giant bug lady, the lady carrying the kid and the lady hugging the kid are all the same lady, and she’s the kid’s adoptive mom. That’s kind of the emotional hook of the trailer. The girl is remembering all the key moments of her and her mom, as she confronts her.
I've been playing off and on since beta. Usually I'll get hooked and play a few hundred hours, then take a break. I'm one of the Founders of the game. It grew from "fun robot ninjas wall running and using magic" to the masterpiece it is today.
The second trailer you watched is actually the opening for the game itself, that "wake up" moment is when you get to choose your Warframe (the suits the Tenno wear) and you start playing. Otherwise, the "New War" is a quest that is very late into the game, and there is a lot of complicated things to explain that would be easier showing through the game's beautiful narrative and cinematic quests. But, long story short... The collapse of a godlike human empire called the Orokin caused a power vacuum, Grinner clones, Corpus capitalists, and zombie like monsters called Infested are swallowing the solar system and its people. The New War is when an ancient enemy of the Orokin empire is resurrected and comes looking to complete their extermination mission.
There is just so much to this story. It's spread out to hundreds of hours of gameplay and quests. Many people have given their explanations on what's happening. Here's my take: far into the future the upper class has basically achieved immortality by explotation of the lower classes and control the whole solar system. They experiment with space magic to expand their domain. At the same time they send robots to terraform a new star system. Robots gain sentience, and eventually rebel in what is called the old war, and are trying it again now (the new war). Meanwhole, experiment with spacemagic goes wrong and produces children with magic powers. Children are dangerous and therefore vilified. Biomechanical warmachines are created to fight the sentient robots. They are hard to control. Space magic children can control them, and robots are driven back. Robots send an infiltrator that takes role of care giver to space magic children. Because of abuse (and infiltrator influence) children rebel and end upper class empire. Robots goal is almost complete, but infiltrator grows fond of her "children" and refuses to kill them, instead hides them. Empire gone, factions arise. Infiltrator awakes children that do not remember anything else than controlling warmachines to keep peace, until Robots manage to retrieve their infiltrator, leaving the children and the warmachines they control to face the second robot invasion. There is just so much that has to be left out... There are youtube videos that go over the whole history. Maybe check out one of the humorous ones or something :D
2:40 Yeah, that's fair, it's an expansion. 5:00 Ah, ok cool. 7:17 Yeah! It is! We're awesome! It's really cool. You do play as a Tenno. You can also collect a bunch of different Warframes to play as and there's a bunch of different weapons to use. The movement in particular is great because you can do a "bullet jump" where you jump and spin at the same time and it looks really cool. There's a lot to learn, but that's because there's a lot to do. It's a good game.
Congrats on getting a sponsorship. Unfortunately, Warframe is dead to many of us that played it because Digital Extremes was acquired by Tencent (Chinese media giant), and that's a line we don't want to cross. This was in the wake of the major publicity about the Hong Kong protests, and (in the realm of video games journalism) the Blitzchung incident where Actvision-Blizzard denied competitive gamer Blitzchung his prize money because he said "free Hong Kong" during his post-match interview. They also banned him from competing for one year. So, those of us who still remember make an effort to avoid promoting Chinese state interests, even indirectly such as by playing games where we can be content for other paying players (i.e. you need opponents to pay a competitive game) or just because we don't want to subject ourselves to the enticing microtransactions that might eventually sway us to spending money where we didn't intend to.
One problem with this game is that it's complicated to gear up for new players. There's like three systems you have to learn. (Mods, Mastery, The star chart, and more.)
2000 hours in and I think there's an ign 8 minute video that explains it all appropriately ... it's been years awaiting for this and now it's only 7 days away :') so hyped
Super duper short version: the Tenno are ethereal warriors that fight via their Warframes (the super-powered super soldiers) against psychotic Grineer clone soldiers, greedy Corpus merchants and their war machines, nightmarish Infested monsters, the Sentient (ancient machines that turned against humanity), and whatever is left of the ancient Orokin Empire, all on behalf of the Lotus, their leader and mother-figure. The Sentient are the insectile monsters, and one of their most recent actions was taking the Lotus from the Tenno. They basically kidnapped mom and made her one of them.
The New War trailer.. It is so powerful! There are no words, but the emotions, what I got are strong! I have played Warframe way back, when it was little and new game. I wish that I have time to return to it or any game actually.
It is good feeling to see a non-player to see a reaction to a trailers for a game such as Warframe My main is Excalibur Umbra you could see him in Sacrifice trailer
Warframe's got a whole bunch of quite beautiful cinematography and story telling, though a good majority is gameplay related and has cinematic segments between gameplay sections, so not eactly as easy to witness in a purely story invested cinematic viewing aspect you're used to here. The questline "The Sacrifice" particularly comes to mind as one which shed a tonne of light on what exactly a Warframe is (made me go "I F*CK*NG CALLED IT!" quite a lot too) while also working well as its own contained story. You may be able to find yourself some summaries here and there if you find yourself particularly intrigued.
as a warframe player, its the first time i understand what the "wakeup tenno" means in the secound video you showed i watched that video 5 times and never understood it completly but here is it described plus some spoilers: you are the tenno, a child who can control tools known as warframes (characters u saw jumping around and killing things) that video has a deeper semnification, where many players left after finishing the story, leaving the tenno in a sleep (dream) "they left" the warframes just stood there untill the player returns (ancient casts of warriors) when the new war comes, the player comes to play the game again, waking up the tenno, and ofc.. the warframes waking up, fighting the grineers again (guys with white masks showed in secound video) the first video is shown how the tenno found out hes not a warframe, he is controlling the warframe hes the operator, and the warframe.. the tool and the weapon warframes bring and end to the grineer empire, but other factions had joined fighting and creating space wars corpus, infested, grineers and in the final.. sentients (the bugs)
You gotta fully be invested in this game and determined to want to do everything to fully understand what’s happening because there is a lot. But after you figure it out the plot is so good so is the game when you get a feel for it
You play as tenno, the bug people as you call them are robotic enemies called sentients. The lotus is both the woman in the mask and the one inside the machine, and the tenno slept for ages and now have been awoken to fight for peace once more. There is alot more but not enough characters here.
Oh man, as a veteran player I can definitely say that DE has been doing amazing work with a lot of polishing up on the story :) When I started, you kind of felt like you had amnesia because many times you were expected to know what a tenno was or kind of smile and nod like when you see someone and they know your name but you can't remember theirs lol! But more and more of the story has been getting polished up as well as the stories for each of the "Warframes" (the armored people you see) have such amazing individual stories. New War definitely has me tense and excited because this is an "old war" that is coming back to take the galaxy in their "new war". :) I won't lie though, even though it's fun to play the side stories and main story solo, I ultimately enjoy playing with friends.
Best way to describe it as in as few words as possible Tenno: child who can operate Warframe through "transferrance" and has powers from a mysterious area in space called the void Warframe: a biological individual who was basically manufactured for war Grineer: angry/mutated clones Corpus: engineers with money Infested: mutated individuals with a collective hive mind Lotus/natah: lady with the flower like helmet who raised the tenno children as their mother figure Basically the trailer said you might have to kill your mother who protected you through ALL your conflicts
That Woman in an alien suit was the one taking care of all of them before she turned away and become an enemy once again and that girl who was being outnumbered had tears as she realized in order to stop the war she basically has to kill her mom
Lotus is spacemom. Spacemom made us, the magic kids that wear the super armors (warframes) and she has always cared for us. Now she is a bug and evil, and us spacekids are super conflicted about it. That's what this trailer is about.
The Tenno are basically psychic children that connect to Warframes, which are the space ninjas you saw kicking arse, they are basically biomechanical suits of armour that the Tenno establish a psychic connection to to project their power, the Tenno themselves are frail children with demigod-like power, and they use the Warframes for battle.
"I don't know what's going on"
That is, in fact, exactly what it feels like to play Warframe for the first 200 hours.

The New War trailer is definitely eye candy for veterans of the game. It's the culmination of YEARS of story and lots of waiting. The Warframes are not suits like many people still think but techno biological avatars made for war and espionage with various magic like powers. Your character is actually the young humans you see (called Tenno), that posses the Warframe from a remote position in space. They got powers from surviving an "accident" while in a colony ship traversing a space called the void that was being used as a faster way of travelling. There is way too much lore for me to say here so that was just a tidbit with as little spoilers to the story as I could give while also making some sense.
Yep, It's really difficult to say anything without spoiling major parts of the story. The video itself is already a pretty massive spoiler for those who haven't finished the story and don't yet know what the warframes actually are.
If you're interested in getting more info outside of trailers, check the video about Warframes timeline: ua-cam.com/video/EOgVcvFYvRk/v-deo.html it gives you a really basic understanding of what's going on.
I haven't played in a couple years, so your comment was a nice refresher. I couldn't remember any of the story, so I was pretty lost watching this.
Yeah ive been playing for tears
Years
Nice summary but oh my god I couldn't even imagine trying to give full context to new war. Especially to someone who hasn't played that's like asking to write an essay.

Ok so this is a game with a very... stretched story. It has come out in bits and pieces ever since it was released in 2014 and can be difficult to follow without reading up/playing the game. Here is what you need to know to understand the first trailer you watched:
Major Spoilers for the entire story!
You play as a "Tenno", a child with special powers that came when they were exposed to some weird space stuff. They can possess fighting machines called Warframes (the robot looking things with no "eyes"). Using these machines they fight to protect people and save lives.
The Tenno used to work for a race of advanced Humans called the "Orokin" who dominated the solar system but they were greedy, cruel, and decadent. The Tenno rebelled against the Orokin and pretty much wiped them out during the "Old War".
Before they rebelled though, the Orokin had another enemy called the "Sentients" - these were artificial lifeforms that the Orokin used in deep space before they gained sentience (hence the name). They are the ones at the beginning of the first trailer that look like bugs. They too wanted to kill the Orokin but also everything else that wasn't one of them. The Tenno fought them, defeated them, and then went after the Orokin. The Sentients were pushed into deep space.
The Tenno had a shared mother figure called the "Lotus" (the lady with the big purple hat covering most of her face), affectionately called "Space Mom" by the playerbase. The Lotus would send the Tenno on missions and was their best ally.
But eventually the Sentients returned and revealed that the Lotus was actually one of them, made to mimic humans and integrate with them but she fell too much into her own lie and forgot her true origins as a Sentient, but one of them reminded her of her true origins (I'm simplifing things here people, don't @ me) and she left the Tenno and joined with the Sentients again who now are about to start a "New War" on the system. The woman you see at the beginning of the first trailer with her face in multiple pieces is what has become of the Lotus since she rejoined her kind.
So now the Tenno have to fight back against the Sentients and their own mother figure, hence the crying Tenno (the younger girl) at the end of the first trailer. In that trailer we see the Tenno's memories of the Lotus and of fighting when controlling a Warframe. The scene on the red ship is the present in the timeline shown.
There is a lot more I am missing out but I hope that makes sense to you.
Hannah should see this, very good resumeé, well done.
I'd say that sums most of it up pretty well
Perfect Ressume
Add spoiler warning to top please
@@simonm1233 Done

Will you be making a return to Origin system then?
'fraid not, i got other commitments to deal woth already xD
"Is everyone an alien in this?"
It'd be more accurate to say that (almost) nobody is an alien in this. Warframe's dark setting boils down to, "Humans gonna human until there's literally snow on Venus, for starters."
It's all humans, and human technology. (Granted, it is not all made on Earth)
@@trexpaddock Likely exception: the Void, and whatever's in the process of boiling up out of it. "Hey kiddo."
@@maxkalton5936 yup "the man in the wall" is the only real alien in this, everything else is either human or of human origin.
@@stevenmael Alien or Eldritch Horror
Humans or robots made by humans. Plus one eldritch horror.
God, the reveal of the Dream in Warframe is still one of my fondest memories in gaming. I spent a couple hundred hours before Second Dream, before the big Tenno reveal, thinking I was just playing as this weird, mute space-wizard. And then that lotus pod opens up AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I hear ya, it's how I imagine it was for people when they found out Vader was Luke's father!
I still remember my Inaros barely scraping through the last level and walking up to the pods. All I was thinking "damn, am I now going to have to escort some Orokin bigshot". Then my boi collapsed and that thing was crawling towards me. From that point to the final part of the quest, I was slowly putting together what was going on. Like I was in shock and needed 15 minutes to process.
Still gives me chills thinking about it!
Probably replay Natah, Second Dream, War Within, Harrow's mission, and the Sacrafice just so I can be refreshed
HEAR HEAR! I had 3k plus hours when it hit me, and it hit *hard* , to this day it's one of the best moments of my life.
@@koboldprime2257 I wish my experience was a bit more like this. As a newbie I joined a clan and they helped me with everything. They all told me to play second dream. But I was still in the chat and while I was playing the second dream my clan boss was already talking about what was about to happen next. Nontheless still one of the best experiences. But I really should have left that voice chat lmao
Oh yeah i have been following this game since it was first released on steam from the ancient beta and the times there was no orbiter to act as a menu for you or anything. I just thought oh cool a game about space ninjas with parkour and all, it was free so i played it for a bit, took a few breaks before it got a bit further. And i got so used to playing as these weird robots, i always wondered how they worked and how come i can equip different ones. And when they revelied Tenno after years i have been used to playing as weird bio robots i was blown away.
If there is one single moment in all of gaming history I wish I could relive... That is is. The entire Second Dream quest line and that amazing reveal!

Edit: Adding a MASSIVE SPOILER Alert, if you dont want to be spoiled for the major quest such as Second Dream and War Within, please skip over.
Q: "Do You Play As The Tenno?"
A: Yes and No.
No because those they control are called Warframes, which are like their second body or more accurately, a suit of bio-mechanical armor, and your main form of combat they gain experience with and unlock more abilities with,
(If your curious, the frames you seen so far are:
Excalibur, Mag, Volt, Rhino, Nova)
The Tenno are often refered to as children, as they are... but the way they control the Frames is (before The Awakening Quest, ) is transferring their conscious to the Warframe, so they can see with no obstruction but it isn't really conveyed , hence why you questioned how can they see from Excalibur's Helmet.
but Yes, because later in the questline, your able to make your Tenno/Operator, and your able to use various abilities (which I will not spoil) but any professional WF Players might reply to this to correct any information which is greatly appreciated.
So, take what I typed with a grain of salt.
P.S: The blue smoke/energy you see in the new war's cinematic trailer with Excalibur, Mag, and Volt (in that order) during the flashbacks where they bowed was their operators leaving the frames to protect themselves, since I think whatever the frames feel, the operator does too.
The Kubrow/Dog is actually an in-game companion (so look forward to getting your first doggo)
Kavats/Cats are also another pet you can get, but requires some time investments.
During the scene where Nova gets hit by the rocket, The Operator used transference to get out of the frame, and therefore not take any lethal damage, and then wiped out grineer because why not.
but one more; professional WF Players might reply to this to correct any information which is greatly appreciated.
One thing to add: This is a MASSIVE Spoiler.
Yea, you need to put a spoiler warning up top. We are kinda protective about not spoiling the story, even if the trailers do a little. Players will go so far as to not even use certain abilities to not spoil things. I was so thankful to the hundreds of players I grouped with who didn't spoil one of the best quests I've ever done in a game.
Great info otherwise. But yea, please spoiler warning
@@avsbes98 fair point, editing it now.
Addition. The "bugs" are "sentients" Sentient machines sent to terraform the Tau system. They came back to rebel. The "bug with a face" is Natah / Lotus. Her job was to infiltrate the government destroy it from the inside and kill the tenno. She took a synthetic body and became the tennos primary care giver. Our "Space Mom" skipping a lot of story the reason the Tenno is crying is it looks like we are going to have to kill our Space Mom.
@@simonm1233 True that, If I see people under MR 10, I do my best to only use my Warframe.
Makes rezing a lot harder but as long as I'm not the one that spoiled it for them, I'd count that as mission accoplished.
I love how she says at the end " I almost understand " all warframe players still don't understand why we still fighting, some warframe youtubers think players are the villains.

Love the content and love seeing this reaction :)
Thank you so much!
*I can answer pretty much all of your questions, hopefully you see this:* (spoiler warning)
1) The "bugs" are called sentients. They're the most powerful type of enemy in the whole game.
2) The big "bug" is called the lotus. Since the start of the game she has acted as the adoptive mother for the operator (the magic human), but it turns out that she's secretly been a shapeshifting "bug" this whole time. Also, she recently defected back to the side of her fellow "bugs", which is why the girl is crying in the end, she's basically killing her mom.
3) The tenno aren't really the ones with the guns/ sword, technically those are warframes. The tenno are actually the magic humans, although the term "tenno" is often used to describe both of them interchangeably. The magic humans are also often called the operator.
4) An important thing to know is that the operator (magic humans) are actually controlling the warframes (the ones with the guns/ sword). Basically the operators got into a weird spaceship accident that gave them laser powers, as well as the power to bond with and control certain beings, they mainly just control warframes though.
5) The operators/ warframes are fighting because they are kind of like the cops of the universe. Or maybe they're more like dictators. Basically, any time a group gets too powerful they wipe out like half the population. It's pretty unethical, but that's how it is.
6) In the game, after you make enough progress, you can actually separate from your warframe and play as just the operator. That's why when she got shot she emerged in her human form.
7) When you're in battle as the operator, the operator isn't actually there physically. All of the operators are actually sleeping in a safehouse on the moon. They're using their powers to project themselves into any place they are needed. That's why she woke up as if having a night mare. That's also why they keep talking about dreaming and waking up in these trailers.
8) Also, just so you know, the second video you watched (the official cinematic opening) was the intro to the game. Basically the warframes have been collecting dust for centuries, and now you're here to pick one and take it for a spin.
9) I'm not entirely sure how they see to be honest with you. Magic tenno powers I suppose.
Not lotus that was what Natah wanted to be called as she assumed the image of margulis
@@Zyxiur I don't quite get what you're trying to say, but yeah, Natah and the lotus are the same. I just simplified my explanation so that a non-gamer would understand.
The operator isn't actually on the moon though, they're on the spaceship after completing The Second Dream
Warframe before spoilers: "ah we space ninjas"
Warframe after spoilers: "ah we work from home space ninjas"
The new war trailer is very much for veterans of the game. Even those with only 100 hours in the game may not really understand what this trailer means, but as a veteran, I am so excited for it.
100 hours, and you are not done withe the Tutorials yet. lol
Tbf when u know what are you doing you can catch up mid-end game content in 150 hours, but playing blinded can make you take like 200 hours just to reach the first milestone (second dream)
"THE PROPERTY DAMAGE!"
This made me think if us Tenno were to stand trial and the amount of charges there would be against us lol.
yo I mean the money in game called "credits"
I think we need a Brian David Gilbert video on warframe.
Most of them would be war crimes.
Things you'd need to know to understand the New War trailer:
-What a warframe (the 'robot' 'suit') is.
-Who the Grineer are (at least enough to know why you fight them).
-The story of the Tenno/ The 10-0 ship
-The story of the Second Dream quest (which is spoilers, but it's all spoiled by the New War trailer anyway.)
-Who the Sentients are (the floaty red guys.)
-Who the Lotus is.
-The story of the Natah quest
Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for watching!!
First off congrats on the sponser!!!
(SPOILERS AHEAD) Okay backstory, this may be long lol. Yes we play as the Tenno the human girl that we saw, she controls the Warframes the ones that we're doing most of the fighting. To explain why the first trailer is so emotionally charged, it's because of that big Sentient woman. She's been a mother figure to us for the entire game, that woman dressed in purple was her and she was called the Lotus, then she got Corrupted and turned back into a Sentient. So all those flashbacks was us remembering her as she was and then coming back to the present to face her, hence her tears.
Okay I hope this helped a little bit? Warframe is a very lore heavy game and watching a trailer like the New War as you're first introduction to it is definitely difficult. But I hope that you can understand that trailer a little bit more now.
Thank youuuu
Wait did lotus get corrupted? I dont remember what particular story mission was is but im pretty sure she chose sentients over the tenno. I remember her brother saying to her to stop this mother figure non sense and remember what your true purpose is.
@@killchoi091 no she was corrupted. Ballas did his little hand wave and took her away. She's not actually evil like everyone says she is, you can clearly see from this trailer and the last few cutscenes in the game that she is being manipulated.
@@crimsonsiren ohhh. Well ballas did became a good little lap dog. Hmm, i think its time to reinstall warmframe to replay the quests.
@@killchoi091 He's never been a lap dog, he's still in control. I'm almost positive Erra is Ballas at this point.
13:10 Always the Tenno, but usually we are controlling the Warframes, their Bio-Mechanical Armors, that you see fighting with guns in the first and second trailer.
There are lots of them, each with their own kind of power, theme and even inspirations. In the first trailer you can see Nova, Rhino and Excalibur, and in the second, you can see Excalibur, Mag and Volt.
My favorites are Harrow, which is a cursed priest, and Gara, a Glass manipulator that can turn people into solid glass statues.
Chains of Harrow is my favorite quest. Played it a dozen times and it makes me so sad everytime.
Oh the magical feeling of feeling all that for the first time, from waking up from your pod to now going face to face with the gut wrenching feeling of the final decision.
I hope the new war is what we been waiting for so long to be
Basic plot of the trailer: the kid is jumping through different points of their history, most of them focusing on the mommy figure. They're crying because they don't want to have to shoot their surrogate mommy with a void (space magic) beam.
Rather than watching just game trailers, i would love to see your reaction to game lore video/ game recaps, and then rewatch the trailers after you have a sort of basic understanding of what is happening.
Ive done that a bit with world of Warcraft and Warhammer 40k
@@HannaHsOverInvested yea i saw. And those are really great. I like to see when finally a trailer you didnt understand initially, finally clicks because u have the basic lore.
Hi Hannah, I really liked your Halo reaction few weeks ago. I like to recommend you Halo Legends: The Duel. Its 21 minutes long. Its one of the sort films released to explain some of the lore that didnt fit in the game.
I hope you enjoy it!
Thank you! I need something for this Sunday as I thought I would be able to post this but DE wanted it up a little earlier.
Love this game, been waiting for this quest for a while, congrats on sponsorship btw
Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
"What the heck is going on"
90% of this video is in her head. Its all memories of her past and her relationship with the Lotus (the "bug" at the start of the video that you thought had a person inside of it).
On the "team work" scene where you see Nova (the one that is shot in the back), Rhino (big guy that landed on the ground and knocked everyone up into the air) and Excalibur (the one with the sword) - The Tenno is the "girl" (also known as an "Operator") you see in the cinematic where as the others are whats known as "Warframe". They are semi-sentient "robots" that are controlled by the Tenno (who is located in a pod away from combat).
The Tenno has the power to "replace" the Warframe in whats known as "Physical Transference". So when Nova is shot - The Tenno replaces Nova and she uses her own powers (laser beam from the hands) to destroy the remaining Grineer soldiers.
The other 10% is of current events where the Tenno is thrown into what we view as "betrayal" by the Lotus. You see the Lotus in 3 of her 4 "forms". Margulis (her human form), Lotus (the form where she is "motherly" and carrying the Tenno after she was injured) and Natah (the one you keep calling a "bug").
"Is this you? Is this us?"
Yes. This is us (and a Kubrow - Which are dog-like creatures we can raise from eggs).
"Do you play as the Tenno?"
EVEVERYONE plays as the Tenno. That is who controls the Warframes. Dax (the one speaking about his Empire - The Orokin - falling) is an ally of ours and is a relic of the old war.
Warframe rough story from someone who hasn't played in a while:
SPOILERS AHEAD BTW
Warframes story revolves around galactic conflict. Initially, in the pre-game history, the area of space the game takes place in was controlled by a power-hungry, highly technologically advanced galactic empire known as The Orokin Empire. The Tenno, mentioned often in the trailers, were the children who survived a spaceship void jump accident. (The ship was called the Zariman Ten-Zero, hence Ten-Oh, hence Tenno).
The ship was recovered days after the incident, and only the children had survived the unintended jump through void space. They had strange, unstable abilities the likes of which were never seen before for their efforts (think psionics, or space magic). They were feared and reviled for these abilities, and quickly chucked into containment.
Initial attempts by the orokin to test these abilities and other experimentation led to multiple deaths - as the children were ticking time bombs who couldn't control their powers, both experimenters and kids died during these tests. They were swiftly halted on a widescale basis, but smaller less intrusive testing continued.
Around this time, The Orokin Empire became entwined in a losing war against the Sentients - an advanced creation of theirs meant to act as a vanguard to their own conquests, meant to soften the advance of their own fleets, that went rogue and came back with a vengeance.
As the Sentients were basically AI, all technological advances the Orokin made to combat the Sentients just made them lost that bit quicker. So as they were on the verge of collapse, they desperately returned to investigating the powers of the void-touched children.
By this point, an Orokin researcher had found out that the kids' powers could be harnessed easier through their dreams as it would allow them to focus and control their powers. This researcher, a woman named Marguilis, was executed for trying to protect the children when the empire sought to use them for war. Her research was then used to create a process known as *Transference.*
Transference is the process of remotely channeling the kids consciousness into a seperate vessel - The Warframe.
These warframes were made to enhance and further fine-tune the kids abilities in the ways of war. Since they were using void energy rather than any kind of technological devices, and the warframes were biomechanical in nature (IE, they were artificial organic tissue mass with mechanical structure that would allow one to control it as if it was their own body, due to artifical nervous systems and muscles etc under a mechanical shell), the Sentients had no way to exploit or control these warframes like they did other orokin technologies, and they proved too much for them to handle, swiftly bringing an end to the war.
The kids, dubbed the Tenno by this point, resented the Orokin. They knew of Marguilis's execution, someone they all saw as mother, and hated that they were basically turned into soldiers, whose phsycial bodies were kept in pods on the moon as they were put into warfront after warfront. They knew the Orokin would likely wish to use them to continue their expansion.
So after the Sentients were beaten back and the Orokin celebrated, the Tenno, as the Orokin held a ceremony giving them alocades, honours and medals etc etc, took the opportunity to swiftly attack and remove the top end of the Orokin Empires leadership in a brutal and unseen assassination spree.
The Orokin empire swiftly began to collapse. At the same time, another presence that meant a lot to the Tenno was actually a plant of the Sentients that was meant to destroy the Tenno from within after revealing the location of their hidden, physical bodies. But by the time this agent, Natah, was able to complete her mission, she instead sabotaged it, hiding the moon in the void and putting the children to sleep for a long time, their warframes scattered and lost, their link to the Tenno severed by the moons entrance to the void.
When the systems previously owned by the Orokin became the warground of various fighting factions, with the sentients and other factions closing in around the chaos, The Tenno were woken up to help stabilise everything.
That was the ztarting point of the game iirc, quite a number of years ago. Although most of that wasn't known initially. You play as a Tenno (who, after reaching a certain point in the game, can customise aspects of) who controls a Warframe. Each warframe can have a primary weapon, secondary weapon and melee weapon from the players collection (no restrictions on who can use what) and the frame they use determines the abilities usable, as well as base statistics like health, movement speed, armour etc.
Base gameplay involves finding new warframes and weapons to build, getting the items needed to build them, then improving them so you can find and build more newer ones, with missions that act as a loose story around them all.
As your Tenno had no recollection of anything that appointed during this time, their jntial goal is to find out who they are, what they're doing etc. You dont actually find out that the Warframes contain a person's consciousness until quite a bit into the story, and a good many hours into playing the game.
Basic gameplay involves running through corridors or protecting objectives whilst absolutely shitting on easily 3 figures worth of enemies.Its also a massive time-sink of a game that requires a lot of gameplay to get the items needed to collect the blueprints of weapons and warframes, then the items needed to build them, then the experience needed to level them up to their full potential.
The information about the Warframes themselves is not quite correct.
They weren't made for the Tenno. They were a separate project by Balas to integrate Infested Biology with soldiers to make "Frames of War" to fight the Sentients. The project got scrapped due to the "Warframes" being unstable and impossible to control no matter what method they tried.
And then Transference along with the Tenno came along. The missing pieces that were able to calm the Frame's rage. Thus two projects were combined into one and the Tenno and Warframes became two halves of a whole. Inseparable.
Balas lays this all out in the Sacrifice quest. You literally experience it with Umbra.
@@WraithReaper09 Ah sweet, cheers for the corrections. I played on and off over the span of a couple of years but with several months in-between each time (The constant grind is something I loathe but the smooth af gameplay tends to bring me back eventually) so there's no surprise there's wrong info in there.
Im not even sure if I've done that quest (I played for literally over one hundred hours before realising the quests were storyline stuff - idk if I forgot after it eas introduced to me, or if I was meant to figure that out on my own and just didn't, but hey-ho. I was just bombing about the map opening up the planets as much as possible then grinding for the open-world frames despite it being ludicrously challenging at that stage of the game, because I'm all kinds of dumb) Honestly I dont think I remember any of the quests except the initial BOOM there's a person in/and/or around the warframe reveal.
Might have to install the game again. *Something something unbreakable cycle something something.*
@@kronksstronkstonks6360 Yeah. There's a lot to get your head around. But the Sacrifice is definitely a quest you'll want to play. And you get Excalibur Umbra from it.
@@WraithReaper09 oh nice one, thanks for the heads up :)
A small correction
It was years before they recovered the Zariman 10-0.
I’ve put in over 1.5 thousand hours into Warframe, and I LOVE it. I’ve loved every second of it. From farming Primes in the void to the cinematic story missions added after years of very little story, from staring as a newbie to helping newbies grow into veterans, it’s been a long 6 years. This new war that is coming has me pumped but also has me scared; I don’t want to lose space mom. Some people are indifferent, but Warframe has grown to be a part of me; so much that the cinematic trailers they’ve finally added choke me up a bit. I don’t want it to end but I HAVE to see where it’s going
As someone that plays Warframe, this is a surprise. The game has great lore that has been weaved together over the course of 8 years now.
If you are interested in checking out some fan lore videos, the 'Ouroboros' series by Rahetalius is one of the best ones out there.
Edit: *(story spoilers below)*
In the game, you play as a Tenno, newly awakened by the Lotus (purple lady) after being in stasis for 1000+ years.
The Tenno were children who were part of a society of quasi-immortal beings known as the Orokin, but during a space voyage with their parents, a space rift opened and pulled the Zariman Ten-Zero (the ship they were on) into the Void a.k.a an alternate dimension.
The ship was missing for years and considered lost, but it suddenly re-appeared one day... when the Orokin boarded the ship, they found that only the children had survived- but the Void had changed them, scarred them, and seemingly in return, gifted them strange powers.
The children, dubbed "Tenno" after the Zariman 10-0, and conscripted into the war (The Old War) against the Infested (flesh monster things), with each Tenno being psychically linked to a Warframe, each crafted to enhance the Tenno's Void given powers.

Damn, I remember Ouroboros about Mirage.
Absolute blast if you understand all of the references and implications, but completely incomprehensible if you don't. Other Ouroboroses are better in that regard. (Still, assuming you watch Mirage's one after Mirage Prime Trailer and understand that Mirage was driven insane before/while being turned into war machine then the Ouroboros becomes thematically fitting even if you don't understand what Mirage is hallucinating about/getting flashbacks to)
I'm joining recommending Hannah to watch Ouroboroses (or at least to watch the series' trailer to understand the tone of the series and then decide for herself if she is into that kind of mesmering dark/horror vibes
ua-cam.com/video/BP0s0zzQDUM/v-deo.html )
Having played Warframe since the very beginning, the new trailer is heartbreaking when you know the history. The trauma, the treachery, the pain. Its horrible.
i just want to kill the Lotus (Natah)
“The Property damage” wait till you here about the war crimes sis 😭
😂
Holy shit, DE sponsoring Hannah?! If there's ever a time to actually become a gamer, now's the time Hannah!
But good luck though, Warframe has a brutal learning curve.
Warframe: AKA the game that lets you spend 20 hours learning its systems until you think you’ve figured it out only to laugh; backhand you in the face and show you another 3 complex gameplay systems with no tutorials.
I feel this in the depths of my soul, I spent so many hours watching tutorial videos it's insane how deep the gameplay is with what one can do for something a simple as picking out a wareframe to choosing different weapon types and making the balance of an op defense and offense
Warframe will be remembered as one of video games genre defining achievements. It's game play and story telling is unmatched.
"She got shot and then she's just there, because she's magic?"
-one of the most accurate description of the Warframe story.
You play as the Tenno, a child soldier and the only one that can control the "robot suits" called Warframes, in the trailer the Tenno needs to fight their mother figure, the Lotus, since she was abducted and transformed by the red things. The trailer are flashbacks from the times that The Lotus helped and comforted them.
Child soldier??
@@HannaHsOverInvested We sure are/were. It's all thanks to the dude with the "long fingers," his name is Ballas and he's a manipulative dick.
@@HannaHsOverInvested yes, they pretty much are since the are doing most of the fighting by using their Warframes(robot looking people), but they themselves are really fecking strong
So it should've been called the old war
@@HannaHsOverInvested Yeah... the excuse were extreme times and these kids aren't humans anymore, they are monsters with space magic.
Essentially, we used to have a mother figure early in the story. She is the lady that holds you in the first trailer when you wake from your nightmare. She eventually died due to plot reasons. Eventually, a bad person in the story shows up to kill us. However, instead of killing us, she takes pity and ends up essentially adopting us. She takes on the human form of our previous mother figure who died previously. That's the lady you see with the weird helmet. She has been our in-game mother figure in the game for years and years (real life years) - our guide and benefactor (and we only found out that the original mother figure and the "new" mother figure who looks like her were different people just a few years ago). We found out many years later that she "used" to be a bad guy, but when she came to kill us, she instead took mercy on us and became our protector. Essentially, she has been our "mom" for many game years. However, due to plot reasons, something happened, and she's reverted back to the "dark side". That's why you see her all messed up looking like bug lady. The first trailer is essentially you as a player confronting mom in her evil form, but then you get flashbacks back when she used to be your loving mother, and even a memory of the "original" mother figure. As kids, you were raised as a weapon, but you were just a kid, so the combat scared you, but then you'd see your mother figure, and it would calm you and you could focus on the combat. All that gave you PTSD, so you'd wake up from nightmares of combat, but your mother figure would be there to comfort you. The end of the trailer then brings you back to "real time" where you're in front of evil mother. You raise your hand ready to strike, but only after tears come streaming down your face because...you're about to try to kill who was your loving mother for 10+ years of gameplay. We don't know if we'll have to actually defeat her, or if we'll be able to bring her back to the good side. It's harsh though. A lot of players feel exactly how the kid does in the video because she has always been there with us over the years as a protector and guide. We all call her "Space Mom". XD The thought that "Space Mom" left us and betrayed us was hard, and it's even harder that we may need to be the ones to stop her, now.
Man that's surprisingly cool to watch, having my inner voice just blurting out answers to her questions lol like yeah she's basically magic, she's fighting grineer, these cloned nitwist, and she got hit so her semi robotic body she was controlling called a warframe was knocked out so her physical and actual self took its place and she beamed magic and oh man it's cool to have that going on in the back of my head
Honestly the New War cinematic conveys to me the betrayal our Tenno felt as the 'person' in the suit you see in the beginning is the same person the child was clinging to when they awoke from their nightmare.
The Grineer Bombard that blasted her Nova, revealing the child is probably a nod to how far we've come. In the beginning, we simply thought we were just cybernetic space ninja's who could also perform magic, then we found out that we're not the husk but rather the child controlling the husk. Even still, we could only disembark from our Warframe for seconds at a time until we learned how to hone our power over transference.
I really like this game its story & cHaracters & factions. IGN did a video recently called warframes most important story moments so far, it does a really good job of explaining most things.
New War which is the sequel to 2 other quests in game. Both of those previous quests were some of the best narrative I've ever seen. I cried hard at the end of them both. Even watching the 2nd trailer you watched still bring tears to my eyes cause of what it's referencing from the 2 other quests. Even if you only play the game for those 2 quests it's completely worth it.
Warframe is the one game I always come back to. Whenever I play other games I find myself wishing they had features from Warframe. I've been playing for 8 years now and I sometimes write fanfic of my Tenno, Rayvan.
The story told through those phase sliding waves of void energy is so good and the cinematic makes you remember all the good that came after our operator s dark past but also focuses you're mind that what has passed has passed and to focus on the danger and to fight the evil that you once trusted
Story wise, there is a lot of explanation in these trailers and it gives me chills every time I watch it
“The property damage!” Lol!!! In this game there is PLENTY of that!
There are no aliens in Warframe. Everything alive is either human, made from human, or heavily modified from original Earth life. We got normal humans, we got cyborg humans, we got clone humans, we got plant humans, we got synthetic humans, we got freaky mixtures of all those, and we got immortal psychic humans, and then we got... voided humans, the Tenno.
I love the fact there's no aliens, everyone are just sub humans of some kind.
Warframe is one of my favorite games ever made
Thanks for watching!
The new war trailer definitely conveys the story very well for vets and people halfway through the game with as little spoilers as possible (there's some but they aren't too crazy and forward). I'm hyped for the release of the story to see what happens with the lotus and the sentients
Here is the super simple jist of warframe for the layman:
A bunch of teens with powers (they call themselves tenno) acting as mercenaries can "poof" in and out of dead zombie corpses with different powers, those corpses are called warframes.
The story is basically:
There were a bunch of super powerful entities that ruled over everything
They were assholes so everyone turned on them
The empire fell apart
The leftover servants of that empire broke into factions
You're left to clean up the mess.
A chick called the lotus raised you as an orphan (long story) and she helps guide you
That's as much as I can say without any massive spoilers.
As someone who has played Warframe, I also don't know what the hell is going on in most of the trailers
8:00 The warframes shown in this trailer are Excalibur, mag and volt in that order. They are the starter warframes you can choose at the start. There are 54 warframes and even more if you count the prime variant which is a stronger variant to the base one (Excalibur has a special variant called Excalibur Umbra that you unlock in a story quest). Most if not all frames can be farmed in some way going from doing specific missions for the part blueprints to gainging reputation with specific factions. Primes can be unlocked through relics.
I started playing ten days ago and I am completely down the rabbit hole in warframe lore. I love this game.
Most of the scenes in the New War cinematic are flashbacks to emotionally contextualise the new quest. Also good to see you're sponsored by Digital Extremes!
I might repeating someone else but all you'd really need to know to sorta understand the new war trailer is the "bug" with a humanoid face was once called the lotus who was responsible for waking the tenno (us). She sorta represented and command / mother figure to us but he identity was not really know until she took of her mask which revealed her true identity which was that she was a sentient (bug) which is the in a way is the arch nemesis of the tenno.
Hopefully that helped in some capacity
When u say whats going on its just flashbacks
Hannah : so is this you? Is this us?
Tenno cauncil : yes this is us. We all lift together 😎
So not only did you get a sponsor, but it was Warframe?! I'm hella proud!
17:00 "I almost understand!"
Me as a 2000h veteran, "nah you don't."
Thanks a lot for this fresh perspective, it's always nice to see people from the outside peeking in.
Most of the WF community doesn't like to explain the game too much cause spoils a lot of it. And denies some really emotional events.
But if you are interested, the whole story we got so far aint that long and there are thousands -of heretics- who posted them. A BIG story quest is "Second Dream".
Haha thank you so much for watching 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Tl;DR- Tenno are superpowered children that can possess biomechanics war machines (warframes),
the "bugs" are a robotic species called sentient,
the lady "bug" is The Lotus (aka Space Mom) who took the place of a parent for the tenno and now is, due to shenanigans, trying to kill the children she helped raise.
hope that helps =)
As someone that knows around 90% of the lore and has over 1000 hours played of the game, this trailer is amazing and explains some things believe it or not. Like, when you die in the game isn't because you literally die, it's because the Warframe broke.
Never ever I’ve seen DE actually sponsored anyone that much, but it’s your time to shine!
I have an over 8k hours in this game, and, believe it or not…
only HALF of this is an actual gameplay!
there’s much more Warframes (aka Tenno, for you) than you’ve seen in the trailers, might as well check out “Warframe Profiles”!
some of them are incredibly outdated but still gives you a good idea of what they are capable of.
(things such as “Tenno reinforcements” is not recommended to watch, you’ll die tryin’)
no, I’m NOT going to say what the other 4k were for, it’ll ruin the surprise ;)
The end of thY last trailer reaction "Oh! I almost understand!"
Actually perfect way to end this video tbqh. Almost like the "Story So Far" was made for that exact reaction for the uninitiated
A simple way of understanding what the Tenno are, are people who can in some way teleport themselves into the Warframes using an ability called "Transference" (Frames of war, in other words, armor suits designed for war.), the first trailer with all the bug people, were one of the opposing factions, the sentients, and it's been a while since I played Warframe, but the woman who didn't have a full face (Lotus or Natah, or maybe space mom since that was what she used to be to the Tenno.), the woman was also the purple lady in a couple of the flashbacks.
Btw, there's way more Frames of war in the game, you only saw a tiny bit, Excalibur (the frame with the sword made of light), Mag (the frame who controls gravity, second trailer), Volt (The frame with control of electricity who was running in the battlefield while everything was stopped in time because he's as fast as lightning, second trailer), Rhino (The frame with pure brute strength ramming through everything, first trailer) Nova (the frame who makes portals in the corridor for Rhino and herself, first trailer), those are all, also the dog in the second trailer was a Kubrow, it is fun to have in your home.
"Is it a nightmare?"
After over 2000 hours into the game, I can confirm the waking reality of the Tenno is entirely a nightmare.
I'm not happy about that.
Congrats on the sponsor!
I've got a VR headset coming in soon; this looks like a fun title to try out with that.
The most context I can give to the New War trailer without spending an absurd amount of time explaining details:
The giant bug lady, the lady carrying the kid and the lady hugging the kid are all the same lady, and she’s the kid’s adoptive mom.
That’s kind of the emotional hook of the trailer. The girl is remembering all the key moments of her and her mom, as she confronts her.
I'm so happy you got sponsored and the fact that i'm super into warframe right now... YAY (:
You could really be a voice actor you have so much passion behind your words it’s so recognizable
The "bug" lady is space mom.
Stuff happened and we have to fight her. maybe.
Poor space mom.
Coming back after not having a good pc since pre-new war was overwhelming. But, plenty to do in the game and lore dumps galore is always nice
I've been playing off and on since beta. Usually I'll get hooked and play a few hundred hours, then take a break. I'm one of the Founders of the game. It grew from "fun robot ninjas wall running and using magic" to the masterpiece it is today.
The second trailer you watched is actually the opening for the game itself, that "wake up" moment is when you get to choose your Warframe (the suits the Tenno wear) and you start playing.
Otherwise, the "New War" is a quest that is very late into the game, and there is a lot of complicated things to explain that would be easier showing through the game's beautiful narrative and cinematic quests.
But, long story short... The collapse of a godlike human empire called the Orokin caused a power vacuum, Grinner clones, Corpus capitalists, and zombie like monsters called Infested are swallowing the solar system and its people.
The New War is when an ancient enemy of the Orokin empire is resurrected and comes looking to complete their extermination mission.
This is trailer is the amalgamation of 10 years of hard core and soft core story telling.
There is just so much to this story. It's spread out to hundreds of hours of gameplay and quests. Many people have given their explanations on what's happening. Here's my take: far into the future the upper class has basically achieved immortality by explotation of the lower classes and control the whole solar system. They experiment with space magic to expand their domain. At the same time they send robots to terraform a new star system. Robots gain sentience, and eventually rebel in what is called the old war, and are trying it again now (the new war). Meanwhole, experiment with spacemagic goes wrong and produces children with magic powers. Children are dangerous and therefore vilified. Biomechanical warmachines are created to fight the sentient robots. They are hard to control. Space magic children can control them, and robots are driven back. Robots send an infiltrator that takes role of care giver to space magic children. Because of abuse (and infiltrator influence) children rebel and end upper class empire. Robots goal is almost complete, but infiltrator grows fond of her "children" and refuses to kill them, instead hides them. Empire gone, factions arise. Infiltrator awakes children that do not remember anything else than controlling warmachines to keep peace, until Robots manage to retrieve their infiltrator, leaving the children and the warmachines they control to face the second robot invasion.
There is just so much that has to be left out... There are youtube videos that go over the whole history. Maybe check out one of the humorous ones or something :D
2:40 Yeah, that's fair, it's an expansion.
5:00 Ah, ok cool.
7:17 Yeah! It is! We're awesome!
It's really cool. You do play as a Tenno. You can also collect a bunch of different Warframes to play as and there's a bunch of different weapons to use. The movement in particular is great because you can do a "bullet jump" where you jump and spin at the same time and it looks really cool. There's a lot to learn, but that's because there's a lot to do. It's a good game.
Congrats on getting a sponsorship. Unfortunately, Warframe is dead to many of us that played it because Digital Extremes was acquired by Tencent (Chinese media giant), and that's a line we don't want to cross. This was in the wake of the major publicity about the Hong Kong protests, and (in the realm of video games journalism) the Blitzchung incident where Actvision-Blizzard denied competitive gamer Blitzchung his prize money because he said "free Hong Kong" during his post-match interview. They also banned him from competing for one year. So, those of us who still remember make an effort to avoid promoting Chinese state interests, even indirectly such as by playing games where we can be content for other paying players (i.e. you need opponents to pay a competitive game) or just because we don't want to subject ourselves to the enticing microtransactions that might eventually sway us to spending money where we didn't intend to.
One problem with this game is that it's complicated to gear up for new players. There's like three systems you have to learn. (Mods, Mastery, The star chart, and more.)
That's okay! I'm just here for the stories.
2000 hours in and I think there's an ign 8 minute video that explains it all appropriately ... it's been years awaiting for this and now it's only 7 days away :') so hyped
we're almost there- 2600hours
It's great to see DE sponsoring smaller youtubers, congrats on the sponsorship!
Thank you so much! I feel very fortunate.
Super duper short version: the Tenno are ethereal warriors that fight via their Warframes (the super-powered super soldiers) against psychotic Grineer clone soldiers, greedy Corpus merchants and their war machines, nightmarish Infested monsters, the Sentient (ancient machines that turned against humanity), and whatever is left of the ancient Orokin Empire, all on behalf of the Lotus, their leader and mother-figure. The Sentient are the insectile monsters, and one of their most recent actions was taking the Lotus from the Tenno.
They basically kidnapped mom and made her one of them.
The New War trailer.. It is so powerful! There are no words, but the emotions, what I got are strong! I have played Warframe way back, when it was little and new game. I wish that I have time to return to it or any game actually.
It is good feeling to see a non-player to see a reaction to a trailers for a game such as Warframe
My main is Excalibur Umbra you could see him in Sacrifice trailer
Warframe's got a whole bunch of quite beautiful cinematography and story telling, though a good majority is gameplay related and has cinematic segments between gameplay sections, so not eactly as easy to witness in a purely story invested cinematic viewing aspect you're used to here. The questline "The Sacrifice" particularly comes to mind as one which shed a tonne of light on what exactly a Warframe is (made me go "I F*CK*NG CALLED IT!" quite a lot too) while also working well as its own contained story. You may be able to find yourself some summaries here and there if you find yourself particularly intrigued.
You’re laugh/cackle gets me every time 🤣 love it, keep it up
as a warframe player, its the first time i understand what the "wakeup tenno" means in the secound video you showed
i watched that video 5 times and never understood it completly
but here is it described plus some spoilers:
you are the tenno, a child who can control tools known as warframes (characters u saw jumping around and killing things)
that video has a deeper semnification, where many players left after finishing the story, leaving the tenno in a sleep (dream) "they left"
the warframes just stood there untill the player returns (ancient casts of warriors)
when the new war comes, the player comes to play the game again, waking up the tenno, and ofc.. the warframes
waking up, fighting the grineers again (guys with white masks showed in secound video)
the first video is shown how the tenno found out hes not a warframe, he is controlling the warframe
hes the operator, and the warframe.. the tool and the weapon
warframes bring and end to the grineer empire, but other factions had joined fighting and creating space wars
corpus, infested, grineers and in the final.. sentients (the bugs)
You gotta fully be invested in this game and determined to want to do everything to fully understand what’s happening because there is a lot. But after you figure it out the plot is so good so is the game when you get a feel for it
Congrats for the DE sponsoring, I like your reactions!
Thank you!!
the lady who held the kid in her dream is the same "bug person" at the end :)
You play as tenno, the bug people as you call them are robotic enemies called sentients. The lotus is both the woman in the mask and the one inside the machine, and the tenno slept for ages and now have been awoken to fight for peace once more. There is alot more but not enough characters here.
The eyes lighting up as she sees the exalted blade form
Oh man, as a veteran player I can definitely say that DE has been doing amazing work with a lot of polishing up on the story :) When I started, you kind of felt like you had amnesia because many times you were expected to know what a tenno was or kind of smile and nod like when you see someone and they know your name but you can't remember theirs lol! But more and more of the story has been getting polished up as well as the stories for each of the "Warframes" (the armored people you see) have such amazing individual stories. New War definitely has me tense and excited because this is an "old war" that is coming back to take the galaxy in their "new war". :) I won't lie though, even though it's fun to play the side stories and main story solo, I ultimately enjoy playing with friends.
Best way to describe it as in as few words as possible
Tenno: child who can operate Warframe through "transferrance" and has powers from a mysterious area in space called the void
Warframe: a biological individual who was basically manufactured for war
Grineer: angry/mutated clones
Corpus: engineers with money
Infested: mutated individuals with a collective hive mind
Lotus/natah: lady with the flower like helmet who raised the tenno children as their mother figure
Basically the trailer said you might have to kill your mother who protected you through ALL your conflicts
That Woman in an alien suit was the one taking care of all of them before she turned away and become an enemy once again and that girl who was being outnumbered had tears as she realized in order to stop the war she basically has to kill her mom
"I almost understand!" CORRECT. THIS IS THE CORRECT STATEMENT.
Space mom knows what she did. Don't believe her lies. Also space cats are better than space dogs.
Lotus is spacemom. Spacemom made us, the magic kids that wear the super armors (warframes) and she has always cared for us. Now she is a bug and evil, and us spacekids are super conflicted about it.
That's what this trailer is about.
Playing this game since 5 years ago, and expecting to keep playing it the next 5 years and more... Just cant have enough of it, what can i say...
The Tenno are basically psychic children that connect to Warframes, which are the space ninjas you saw kicking arse, they are basically biomechanical suits of armour that the Tenno establish a psychic connection to to project their power, the Tenno themselves are frail children with demigod-like power, and they use the Warframes for battle.
