Online games require frequent updates to retain players, but the better a game looks, the more time it takes to make. In the Noclip documentary on Warframe, Sinclair recounts how a publisher suggested it'd worked itself into a corner: the game looked too good. Take the old Dark Sector ideas and art and make a free-to-play game, hoping it would work. As it was winding down work on a Star Trek project, it seemed like all was lost: the studio was getting uncomfortably close to bankruptcy.īut Warframe director Steve Sinclair had an idea. Digital Extremes was doing well, but it deserved better.

It developed the PC port of Bioshock, the multiplayer for Bioshock 2 and Homefront, and made The Darkness 2 in 2012. In 2005, it developed Pariah for publisher Groove Games and worked on its quasi-sequel the next year. The ideas were there, but the publishers weren’t biting.įor years, Digital Extremes worked on projects for other studios. Tenno wields a weapon that looks suspiciously similar to Warframe’s Burston while facing off against those gorgeous Grineer designs that didn't show up in Dark Sector, but did make their way back in Warframe. The protagonist, still Hayden Tenno, wears a suit that looks remarkably like Warframe’s mascot frame, Excalibur. If you go back to the original Dark Sector pitch video, you see something that looks a lot more like Warframe. People seemed to enjoy Dark Sector well enough it has the coveted “Very Positive” rating on Steam, but it wasn’t enough for Digital Extremes.

Dark Sector was one of those perfect early 360 generation games where developers were just figuring out the standardized dual-analog control schemes that would define the generation. It plays like a bizarre mix of Gears of War and Resident Evil 4 where your primary weapon is a glaive-a triple-bladed throwing knife. You play as Hayden Tenno, a soldier who can’t feel pain and gets infected with a virus that’s turning people into monsters. The original iteration of it was an MMO called Dark Sector, but after years of unsuccessful pitch attempts and compromises, it turned the MMO into a more traditional single-player shooter.ĭark Sector is a weird game. Warframe might have released in 2013, but developers Digital Extremes had been playing around with the concept in one form or another since 2000. It’s one of the best online video games out there, and now, with the recent release of the Fortuna expansion, it’s time to give Warframe another look. Five years and five hundred some odd hours later in the game, Warframe has come a long way. I was not amused, the game was not fun, and that, I thought, was the end of that. I know this because I played it and it asked me to spend real money to revive my character after a few deaths.
