Well, that didn't take long. Hot on the heels of DC Universe Online Executive Producer Larry Liberty calling the PS4 "a great platform for MMOs," Sony has announced several MMOs are headed to their next-gen sys


The Equinox is a powerful frame that has the unique ability to alter between two different forms: a Day form and a Night form. Generally speaking, the Day form possesses abilities and attacks that give the Equinox a more aggressive style of play, while the Night form is a little more pass


This year sees two new additions: the Dex Liset skin for your lander and the Excalibur Dex Noggle, which is basically like an in-game bobblehead decoration. You get both of these just for logging in, with no challenge requi

June has been one heck of a month for Warframe. Not only did we receive the long awaited Umbra Excalibur, which was nicely wrapped around compelling story missions, but we also picked up a brand new Prime update that should have a number of players happy. Limbo as a Warframe crafting Guide|https://warframebase.com/ came out just under four years ago (44 months to be exact), and he wasn’t the most popular because his abilities could be detrimental to a team if not done properly. Fortunately, he had gotten better last year, and it only seems fit that he should be the next on the list to receive a Prime. Based on the scheduling, it could have easily been Chroma or Mesa, or someone a little further down the pipeline, but considering those two are already overly appealing, it might be better to give Limbo some love. We’ve taken a look at how this update holds up, and what stands out above all else.


Digital Extremes plans to make great use of the PS4 hardware not just with a 1080p silky smooth frame rate, but also through the Dual Shock 4 's touch pad. They wouldn't say how exactly they plan to use it, but the touch pad will apparently play a big role in the gamep

The second weapon added to the arsenal is the Destreza Prime. The Destreza in general has never been a personal favorite due to its limited range, but the Prime version is slowly making me a believer as it can rip right through armor like it’s nothing. This is unlike most melee weapons available, with the Endura being the one exception, as it’s a rapier that’s held in one hand and strikes forward, at least when not sliding. Oddly enough, the Prime version is nearly 10% slower than the standard Destreza, and damages 20% less in Puncture. Fortunately, everything else is boosted, with a higher critical chance and multiplier, along with the remaining attack values raising ever so slightly, and the status effect chance up over 3x what it originally was. It’s definitely a solid critical-centric weapon, and with the boost of status it should help it go further, but really, it’s nowhere near the level of weapons such as the Atterax which have a much wider spread of damage, which can bring entire rooms to their knees. At least it’s more versatile than say the Kronen Prime that came with the last Prime update, and it still holds up as a pretty good melee weapon.

Developer Digital Extremes isn’t slowing down. They plan to add more space combat later this year with the Railjack expansion, remaster Jupiter’s Gas City map, as well as adding ever more Warframes and weapons for players to gobble up and mas


Moreover, we suspect that current-gen systems weren't capable of supporting a game like PlanetSide 2 , which makes Sony's next-gen device the better fit. Sony has already shown their support for online shooters like Dust 514 and Defiance , and now PlanetSide 2 will join the fray. Like DC Universe Online , PlanetSide 2 will be hitting the PS4 later this y

Microtransactions have been an increasingly touchy subject for gamers in the last few years, especially since Star Wars Battlefront 2 found itself in the spotlight after DICE pushed consumers too far. Game developers have been hard-pressed to find innovative ways to increase revenue earned from titles, but today's story is something else entirely: the developer of Warframe removed a microtransaction because it proved too successful. While some studios purposefully target high-spending gamers (who hold the industry nickname of "whales"), one man's click-happy purchase binge changed the philosophy of the Warframe crew fore


We had a lever, basically, for all intents and purposes, and we saw, you know, a guy pull the lever like 200 times. And it’s just like, ‘oh my dear god, what have we done? We’ve created a slot machine.’ And so you know, it was a couple days I think it took us to take it out - a day, day and a half. That one is a big reg


Shortly after shifting to a free-to-play model , DCUO saw an uptick in its player base, once again proving that MMOs can still find success without a subscription fee. As far as we know, DCUO on the PS4 will also be free-to-play with support for in-game purcha


Warframe will also be getting a companion application for iOS and Android, so players can keep track of what missions are available and presumably coordinate play times with friends. Speaking of missions, Digital Extremes will continue to offer monthly content for Warframe well after the game's launch alongside the
