PCGamesN Saturday, July 16, 2022 8:04 PM  Warframe is about to reach its 50th model type available in-game, as we take a look at the recently announced Wolf Warframe and what its design suggests for the RPG game. Warframes, for those not in the know, are the cohesive barrier worn by the player-controlled Tenno - a suit of biomechanical armour that can also be used as a weapon. Sometimes, specific Warframes can have sentience or make decisions of their own. Some Warframes are the past remnants of prestigious warriors from long ago, or bringers of hope - with each acting as an existing legend with its own mythology and lore. Others come from more unique backgrounds, such as Xaku - the game's first non-binary Warframe - being a construct fused together of a few different Warframes such that each separate part no longer holds its former identity, instead joining with the other frames to create an entirely new being. The game's creative director Rebecca Ford likens the concept of Warframes to that of the popular anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. The Warframe and the Tenno Operator sharing "such an important relationship" resembles one of the central themes throughout the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise - that symbiotic relationship between a pilot and their suit.

PCGamesN Saturday, July 16, 2022 8:01 PM  Digital Extremes has announced Soulframe, a new MMO inspired by the works of Studio Ghibli that is currently in early development status. The Warframe developer has continually pushed new updates for its RPG game over seven years of live service - storied content, quality of life changes, new ways to play with weapons, additional Warframes, and new mounts. With the development team shifting and Rebecca Ford now the creative director of Warframe, the studio has unveiled its next multiplayer game at TennoCon 2022. Soulframe, which was initially speculated about after the filing of a trademark by Digital Extremes in May, showcases an entirely new free-to-play action-hybrid MMORPG from the developers of Warframe. "With Soulframe's worldbuilding and thematic elements, we are really looking to go back to our childhood favourites like Never Ending Story and those elaborate fantasy worlds," says Soulframe creative director Geoff Crookes. The newly announced MMO game draws influence from different fantasy genres and art, but is not solely influenced by western artistry. The works of Hayao Miyazaki alongside other Studio Ghibli projects are key inspirations for Soulframe's fantastical elements. "Our team has a fond love for Miyazaki and Princess Mononoke where there is this idea of nature and humanity colliding and we'll be exploring a lot of themes around nature, restoration, and exploration in this new title," Crookes explains.

PCGamesN Saturday, July 16, 2022 6:44 PM  Warframe is getting an all-new single-player expansion, due to release before the Duviri Paradox open-world expansion, as revealed by developer Digital Extremes. The Warframe Veilbreaker expansion will see the return of the Grineer Kahl-175 from the New War, with Rebecca Ford, Warframe's creative director, explaining how DE wanted to explore Kahl's story more deeply. "We knew Kahl needed an open ending because players really wanted to see more of him", Ford says. "And then when we got all the reactions to Kahl we were, like, 'Hell yeah! Let's figure out Kahl's story!'" RELATED LINKS: Play Warframe for free, Warframe builds, Warframe Duviri Paradox release date |
PCGamesN Saturday, July 16, 2022 6:57 PM  Warframe Duviri Paradox gameplay has finally been shown this year at TennoCon after several years since its initial surrealist, paradoxical trailer back in 2019. The main focus is on the newly introduced Drifter, the New War Tenno Operator who wasn't saved during the Zariman incident. If you have played New War to completion, this will make much more sense, as it tells the story of a new Tenno Operator that has a very different set of experiences.

PCGamesN Saturday, July 16, 2022 6:52 PM  Unity CEO John Riccitiello has apologised for "crude" comments made in an interview toward developers who don't implement monetisation options in their games - to a tremendous outcry from the industry. "I am listening and I will do better," Riccitiello says. In a recent interview with Pocket Gamer, the Unity CEO - formerly CEO at EA - called developers who don't implement monetisation options early in their games "the most beautiful and pure, brilliant people" but also "some of the biggest f***ing idiots." As can be expected, this did not go down well with the gaming community, including developers behind Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, Gotham Knights, Celeste, Selaco, and EA's Star Wars Jedi Survivor. |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, July 16, 2022 5:41 PM  There's no way to get around it. I have to, in the process of constructing this post, write the name "Slopper Johnson: Graviton Agent." I don't like the feel of it in my mouth or in my brain, but as a game, Slopper Johnson is too interesting to ignore. It's a roguelike in which you construct your actions during combat by wiring together modules as you would with a modular synthesizer. |

The first expansion for Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is coming on July 20, 2022, and it's time for Jack to take on the Warrior of Light. Square Enix and Team Ninja revealed a detailed Stranger of Paradise expansion trailer on July 15th. Titled Trials of the Dragon King, the expansion will add a new series of jobs, a new weapon type, and a new set of encounters to use them in. Check out the trailer below. Note that some of the scenes shown may constitute spoilers for Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g9EVPMhOqU Trials of the Dragon King is the first of three planned Stranger of Paradise expansions. The two others are titled Wanderer of the Rift and Different Future, though they don't have release windows or details as of yet. One wrinkle is that Square Enix isn't selling the expansions separately. Thusly, those interested will need to pick up the Season Pass, which will unlock all three missions as they release. The Trials of the Dragon King trailer shows a matchup against the Warrior of Light. Here the Warrior is dressed in a suit of armor close to that of his appearance in Dissidia Final Fantasy. That design was in turn inspired by Yoshitaka Amano's original Final Fantasy concept art. The trailer also shows matches against Bahamut, as Jack and the party pursue their deal. The Stranger of Paradise expansion will also add Staves to the playable weapon list. They're striking weapons with a wide attack sweeps. The new Pilgrim job uses skills to keep enemies in range, and an "assault hook" job action that can bring players to the enemy position or draw them in for a combo. The Evoker can call forth spirits that attack independently or perform special functions. The Summoner can summon and take control of Bahamut for attacks. Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The Trials of the Dragon King expansion launches on July 20, 2022.

SD Gundam Battle Alliance is just past a month from its August 25, 2022 release date, and excitement is building. To commemorate reaching 50,000 followers on the official Twitter account, Bandai Namco uploaded the SD Gundam Battle Alliance intro movie to its YouTube channel. Check it out below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaCVRJ1NReU The intro video emphasizes the multiversal nature of Battle Alliance's premise. Teams of Gundams from across multiple series take on similarly grouped villains. For example, the RX-78-2, Zeta, and ZZ Gundam face off against the Zeong, Quebeley, and The O. The G-Self and Turn A defend against the Turn X, while Reborns Gundam and 00 Gundam fight on the sidelines. Master Gundam calls in several Destroy Gundams to eliminate the God Gundam/Destiny Gundam duo. Wing Gundam and Unicorn Gundam take on the Neo Zeong and Epyon. The SD Gundam Battle Alliance intro also previews the game's large-scale boss battles, where players confront mega-sized enemies. These include the Big Zam, Shamblo, Devil Gundam, Apsaras III, and Calamity War Mobile Armor. In addition to the intro, the SD Gundam Battle Alliance website also received an update. In addition to confirming more canon Gundam mobile suit designs, it detailed some of the game-original characters and suits. The player character is assisted by Yuno Astarte and Sakura Slash, who act as navigators. The game-original Gundam Latreia is piloted by Hermes Mercury, a talented programmer who stands in opposition to the player. Bandai Namco also shared some SD Gundam Battle Alliance gameplay earlier in the week. Teams of three players got together in co-op to face off against large foes from Gundam: The 08th MS Team and Gundam Unicorn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHk15uajdno SD Gundam Battle Alliance will release on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on August 25, 2022. The Switch version release date is unconfirmed. The post See the SD Gundam Battle Alliance Intro Movie appeared first on Siliconera. |
