Forums - Sony - Warframe: From PC to PS4 in Three Months

ethomaz on 15 July 2013

It took Warframe developer Digital Extremes just three months to get its free online shooter running on PS4. VG247′s Dave Cook speaks with the team about the flexibility of Sony’s next-gen console.

Just the key points... read the full article for more

  • Developed by Digital Extremes, Warframe is a free-to-play co-op shooter out now on PC. You can play it here.
  • The game is in development for PS4′s November launch, and will include cross-play with the PC version.
  • It took the studio just three months to get Warframe working on PS4 in time for E3 in June, thanks to the console’s PC-like architecture.
  • When asked to pitch Warframe to newcomers, Digital Extremes always tells people they can play as ‘Space Ninjas’. To be fair, it’s a strong pitch.

Quotes:

  • ”I was every surprised how fast we got up and running – I think Sony was as well. When we went to [E3] people said, ‘Holy smokes this is on PlayStation 4? It looks amazing.’”
  • ”Free-to-play has grown its acceptance in Western markets, and the company is radically different as a result. I think ‘free’ is going to continue to disrupt. It’s disrupted PC games and it will continue its way into the console space.”

Dear Digital Extremes

It took 2 Vigil employees and 1 week to get Darksiders 2 "running" on WiiU

And 5 weeks to port it over "completely" (not counting changes in button icons and text like "don't turn off your WiiU" etc.)

Porting it to a system with completely different architecture than PS360.

So what Digital Extremes?  :)  Do you want a cookie?

yeah exactly lol.  i had never heard of this game until it was talked about at E3 as part of the ps4 library but i was pretty impressed with the game.  i might be showing my bigotry here but i think it is amazing this game is free to play.  i expect f2p games be significantly shitty compared to their play-to-play counterparts but this one looks really good.

CGI always said this game is good... even before E3.

Of course... one week is the time to make the DevKit compile the source for the new plataform with two employees... after that they started to change the code to fit the new plataform (the minimun work is to change to accept the Wii U controller input)... at least be reasonable with the time

PS. Compile not means the generated build is stable or run like they wanted
