The ENTIRE Evolution of Warframe! (Creation to Duviri)

[@Foxslayer99]

Rell was cast aside because of his disability. He wasn't considered normal by us. However his disability gave him a hyper sense to the void and he could sense the man in the wall. He chose to be locked up to fight him off. Most of your vid is good. Some things are off.

[@AustinTheHunter13]

Aka even in space when you all have new terrifying powers and your parents are dead kids will still find ways to be dicks to each other

[@TheGamingNekoOfficial]

Autistic children are really cool, their sensory input is very sensitive at times, we kinda gotta stick together lol

[@HomeBakedBread]

Reminds me of what Albrecht entrati said in his notes about the theory that the indifference is attracted to uniqueness

[@knowvoid9958]

He was also more intelligent then all the kids too right off the bat.

[@forkme3165]

I quit playing near the end of 2014. Came back to the game a couple weeks ago (2024) and I'm still wrapping my head around how much I have to do to catch up. Its an insane amount of content.

[@blackorean9619]

dude near same for me i played in the closed beta when i was like 12 and coming back now its so crazy to see how far its come

[@lilfuzzballa]

Parkour 2.0 and Helminth system are in my opinion the most game changing and important updates to Warframe's overall health. Parkour 2.0 made one of the most fun movement systems ever.
As for Helminth, it tackled the issue of base frames just being MR fodder (and for some players, a waste of time to farm because the prime version was actually easier to obtain), or they would just awkwardly sit in our inventory forever, with no purpose. Base frames were just in a weird spot that didn't feel right, and Helminth actually gave them a great reason to be farmed. But it also gave even more depth to Warframe builds, creating all kinds of synergies.
The 2 best updates outside of story quests.

[@silver4740]

I feel like base frames should have been upgradable to primes

[@therealsushi423]

melee 2.0 was also a game changer but yes i agree

[@Frame_Junky]

Crazy how a young 16yr old kid went from only knowing cod and gta to finding warframe and exclusively only playing it for years to come.
Young kid was me. I’m 24

[@nicholasblessing1907]

26 I started playing in 2013 cause it was free on ps4 and I didn’t have many ps4 games

[@Hylanvahr]

I really appreciate this cool retrospective. As someone who started shortly after launch and was crazy enough to invest in a master-level Founder's Pack, I never could have imagined back in 2013 the game would go from where it was then to now. It's still at its core the same game when you get right down to its bones, but it has truly evolved so much. It's also funny to see how much younger the main devs were at launch. We've all aged a lot since then, especially DE Steve.

[@destroyer99612]

Nah not steve xd, on the other hand u got excal prime then right?

[@Hylanvahr]

@@destroyer99612 Yeah, but I rarely play the game anymore.

[@BIackstrength]

Nice recap ^^
Just for info, it was not DE management that refused the Dark Sector project, it was all the editors they asked to fund the game.
Eventually, one accepted it, but only if they made it a Metal Gear Solid-style game on Earth, which resulted in the Dark Sector game that's quite nice actually. The glaive fighting in particular.
After this video, I'd recommend the NoClip documentary on the development of Warframe for all the details on the beginning of Warframe.

[@Halosrighthand]

Man this brought back a lot of memories. Thanks for reminding me what a wild ride it's been. Though we have lost a lot of fun things along the way, I still love this game just as much as I did on day 0. Thanks for making this!

[@WildFenrir]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@andresangel8641]

as someone who started playing in 2019, im glad to see the direction the game is heading to, i love being nearly immortal, its something most of the base games among the world dont offer to you. I enjoy spending my time decorating the dojo and trying builds to push the limits of every warframe. if this was a traditional shooter as destiny 2 or halo i would have left this game years ago.

[@therealsushi423]

i left after railjack and i just now came back with a new account, bunch of good content to enjoy im glad i returned

[@_tommywiseau]

old warframe is such a nostalgia trip man i was like 13….i am now 24

[@therealsushi423]

i was 12 when i started warframe and now im 20 🫣 so crazy

[@lukewilliams1323]

God I miss raids, I did them for years with my group, we 4 manned allthe raids for arcanes god this takes me back

[@WildFenrir]

Raids are the only thing I miss too.

[@lilfuzzballa]

With how OP and damage immune we can be, if raids are to return, no amount of enemy damage and health would really matter. Raids need to go in hard with mechanics and puzzles. But the reality is, in 2024, we have so many more tools at our disposal, than we did 8 years ago. We constantly have energy, we can fly, we can suspend our team in the air (Ivara dash wire), we can shred all armor, we can zip around like Flash, we can banish our team to prevent damage, we can invis the entire team, slow enemies, buff our team like crazy, heal our team like crazy, have infinite ammo, etc.
It's almost like we have every tool or ability to be able to trivialize and cheese almost any challenge/mechanic a raid could throw our way. But to that I say, DE needs to embrace the fact that we will find ways to cheese. Just make raids complex and mechanically layered enough to where many of these tools have to simultaneously come into play, along with coordination, in order to succeed.

[@louieschultz7318]

Parkour 2.0 with the exalibur rework was such an amazing update for the game too

[@CursedMoistMan690]

Imagine if they kept the Abilities being mod cards, literally mix and match Abilities on any frame

[@crimsonfatalis9691]

Solid vid my dude 👌🏽

[@WildFenrir]

lol thanks my dude XD

[@DexGen2002]

I remember being able to drain your energy when you held your melee for i think more dmg? Idk i was new but it looked cool and give you extra swinging effects, it was before stances and combos moves got added. And Embers "world on fire" sorry if those are far apart i didnt play much till now but i got Warframe when i had my Xbox One first time which i think was 2014 or 2015

[@DickButtox]

Oh god, i remember a top down car racing game that had weapons and upgrades with that icon as an exe. Can't remember the name of it for the life of me.

[@ngxenze9898]

For an old Warframe player who played 3000+ hours, the first archwing that was insane.

[@JuanchoGamex]

Little fix: it was not DE Leadership that wanted to change Dark Sector, it was the publisher, no publishing company was willing to take such a wild idea, and DE was a pretty small, “work for hire” studio, unable to publish their first game by themselves, so they revamped the game into something “safer” that would get published, since at the time (2004-2008!) game downloads weren’t what they are nowadays

[@ywjsiabvue]

Wow. I started at rise of the warlords, reached endgame at archwing, and left during law of retribution. To finally come back when whisper in the walls came out. It was a lot to catch up on.
Turned out my strongest weapon the boltor prime was now a low-mid tier and the weapon that ended up carrying me in the new content was one that I thought was absolute weak trash and only didn't sell it only because it was a prime. The glaive prime. I do miss the void keys but after learning the relic system, it's definitely an improvement when it comes to farming prime parts. I've now caught with everything except kuva weapons because it's confusing and i hadn't taken the time to learn it. Currently working on getting easier things like archon shards, arcanes and rivens

[@oriax7553]

I cant believe its been more thn 10yrs since I started playing warframe. Ivee never spnt more thn 2yrs on a game and never play again except warframe

[@Frosty-kz4om]

Man, I remember watching that WTF Is Warframe. I wonder what Total Biscuit would say about Warframe today.

[@although.z3r0]

i started playing warframe late but hell it’s been my favorite game for a while. i don’t even remember how i found it. i think i was just scrolling for free games one ps4 and just found it

[@WildFenrir]

Glad you have been enjoying it since.

[@giancarlofrancese1441]

Thanks bro for your efforts making this

[@ToaSirian]

Omg, hearing TotalBuiscuits voice again.... rest in peace... hes content helped Warframe gain mainstream attention so much

[@therealdomingo]

I just finished New War and boy was it tough.

[@dieforelle1141]

Such memories
I started warframe 8 years ago and still playing by this day
I remember most of it. Mod improvement by credits, cores and then endo
I once gone out of the internet by 1 year and when I entered warframe it was completely different game. Good memories

[@lilfuzzballa]

Kind of innacurate info on the early days of Warframe. If you watch the NO CLIP documentary on Warframe, they explain how DE got their start by partnering with EPIC games, and making the Unreal Tournament games. After that partnership ended, they mainly just stuck to "work for hire" contracts, where they received money from publishers to help aid in the development of their games. They helped make games like Pariah, Warpath, The Darkness 2, and the PS3 port of Bioshock, to name a few.
During that time, DE had their own little game they were working on. They had an early demo of their own game called Dark Sector, that they pitched to a bunch of publishers to fund the game. They all turned it down because hard sci-fi wasn't "cool" or in style anymore. They finally got a publisher to fund it but at the request that they make it a bit more grounded, less space ninja, more militarized, more like Gear of War/Resident Evil 4, and takes place on Earth.
They took the deal and finally released Dark Sector, but the game just did ok. DE is proud of the game, but it ultimately wasn't their true vision of Dark Sector because of the negotiations they had to make in order to please the publisher.
Made some money from Dark Sector, but they eventually had to go back to "work for hire" contracts, but as time went on, and AAA games got bigger and more expensive to make, publishers were less eager to take risks with third party "work for hire" devs, and instead started to keep their development done internally with their own dev teams. That meant the work for hire jobs were drying up and DE was running out of money.
They were down to their last 3 million in the bank and knew that they were at the brink of closing and had one last shot to make a game that would hopefully keep the studio alive. They had a 12 month window to have a game made and making their studio money, or else they pull the plug and close the studio down for good. So they looked at "free to play" as an option. They figured that with their small budget and time frame, making a small co-op free to play game with generated levels, would be their best option with what they have. So using a lot of their early assets from their original Dark Sector pitch demo/concepts, they created a small free to play game called, Lotus, in just 2 months.
They got in contact with all the biggest Free to Play publishers to help fund Lotus, but they were once again turned down. They either didnt like that it was sci-fi, and/or that it was PvE. One F2P publisher even told them after seeing their pitch demo, "This is the best looking free to play game I've ever seen...you will fail." They asked why will it fail, and the publisher responded with, "A F2P game can't look this good and update as often as you need to, to build your community."
So DE basically took that as a challenge and went ahead and developed the game themselves. They renamed it from Lotus, to Warframe, released an Alpha for players to try out, but didnt really have much marketing to spread the word around the internet about it. It wasn't until the UA-camr, TotalBiscuit (RIP) reviewed the Warframe Beta, with his video, "WTF is...Warframe." DE has stated that that single video was the most critical moment in making players aware of Warframe and trying the game out.
People saw potential in the game, kept supporting it, DE kept updating as much as possible, and about 11 years later it's doing amazing.

[@WildFenrir]

First all that was a lot to read 😂. Second thank you glad you liked the video. And I will watch the video you mentioned I haven't seen it myself and thank you for your comment I wasn't aware of the behind the scenes. Very informative.

[@aldeonuwu2634]

What a journey, i play since deimos whas just a banch of orokin ship destroyed, way before deimos uptate in cambiondrift, and i love this game since then, im waiting the cross save to start the real grinde

Huh i thought i started somewhere in the middle
i joined around Law of retribution
sheesh

[@azraelsdemon]

I stopped playing in 2020 becuase i had a lot of stuff going on so i just didnt have time, i came back last year and had no idea about new war lol i spent all last year playing it non stop and Ive been loving it all I play duviri quite a lot the circuit is one of the best additions to this game

[@barriewright2857]

Thank you very much from a old gamer.

[@WildFenrir]

You're more than welcome ♥️

[@excalibro3006]

NGL I miss the old 2013 Warframe the ui, star chart, sound, etc... I know they are shit and very outdated but there is something nostalgic about them

[@someonewhohadadream8578]

Now that i pay attention to it, Dvar voice really resemblances that one famous boss from Killing Floor (cant remember the name)

[@TitanfallLover]

The first half came straight from shadow destiny

[@billy_cross5580]

The time spin the win did not come from war frame. People have been spinning to win since the very first Diablo, and probably even before on something and the term spin to win, relates to berserkers in medieval game

[@womble901]

I've only been playing since mid 2018. And in that time, railjack was by far the buggiest update. It was unplayable a majority of the time. I think they have learned their lesson about teasing and hyping stuff too early.

[@Klannahar]

Ohh boy good old days, good memory...

[@destroyer99612]

I would only say that duviri is in mid of new war lore wise, further shown if u chose drifter in new war

[@TRACKMAN810]

so no one remembers the arcane helmets?

[@Spitta504TV]

Thank YOU!!!!

[@maszkalman3676]

Wel coll video but you left out the excalibur prime that was the first prime warframe.

[@zaktheghost3289]

Second Dream was when I first started playing 😎

[@tropixi5336]

i think i started in 2013 after my brother told me to get it so he could have someone to help him with stuff and iv played it on and off since and now on pc

[@warframelichyt]

2:30 did anyone see that bro had 2,000+ plat?
👀👀

[@bevanfalls]

some have 100k+ haha

[@SaraUmbral]

Yo I feel really sad. I want go back in time and start playing Warframe since it start. Looks really good, i mean, actual Wf is good, but i would like be side it evolving. I have 4y playing and i cant say something like og does, i cant say "oh, u miss this" i love wf too much but old warframe have something looking special.

[@mptv9118]

I miss the void grind😔

[@WildFenrir]

Void towers were the best.

[@DanielTejnicky]

Saryn? wasnt it Nyx?

[@helixcrash2320]

A decade of bugs that DE did not even fix like incapable of pressing any button is older than the game😂😂 DE said you need to die to fix it😢

[@delta1525]

2:30 I don't know why, but this menu is sooo much better than running around the orbiter in my opinion. Navigating the planets was better, the missions were better, the grind was more fun. Just overall, the game was better during the time it had this menu navigation.

[@lilfuzzballa]

Nostalgia is a helluva drug.

[@WildFenrir]

It's not that bad c'mon

[@Artiick]

Imo after Rivens is when the game went down in the terms of farming "level". The game was already decently farming intensive already, after rivens they kept putting more and more systems that require massive amounts of farming for you to be endgame, unless you shop platinum constantly (and also farm hard). The game surely picked up in popularity, and it always had been a fantastic game with a very good community. Great soundtracks, visuals and gameplay. But the amount of farming became ridiculous to be up to date with everything, and for me at least, it reached the braking point. I quit as a day 1 player around 1 year after rivens got released.

[@WildFenrir]

The removal of the void towers was the downhill moment for me.

[@Artiick]

@@WildFenrir Ye also that. safe to say, that wasn't a very smart move

[@StellarSteve]

I miss when the game was actually playable and i didnt experience a bug literally every hour of playing.

[@DEADPOOL9AND]

So, never?

[@150_asharifadhilaha2]

Bruh, old warframe has more bug. You must be a new player if you don't experience the door and chace that wont open if you play the mission way too long.

It's funny how ppl forget how their favorite games struggled in the beginning (this game is trash compared to this game) well THAT game has been out for ten years and has made many mistakes and had the time to fix them. 😂
