Warframe's General Graphical Performance and Look

[mega_lova_nia]

Can i just say, for a free game, Warframe has one of the best stylized graphics as well as designs that's on par or if not, better than most triple A games. But the one that still baffles me the most is that the game can still look stunning even on low graphic settings plus it runs on 60 fps. Not a lot of games, including triple A games can do that, because they mostly do that by lowering the quality of the produced image drastically. I wonder how they do it? Why can Warframe's engine pull off something that most triple A engines can't? Any thoughts?

I think they’ve actively been targeting not-so-new systems to try and keep plenty of people in the loop. I’d guess it’s some combination of not-incredibly-high textures and maybe nothing too shader heavy?

There’s a lot that can be gotten away with as well if the style is right

There’s some old assets that are pretty dated, but yeah, I’d agree that it looks pretty good. Maybe not quite some triple A stuff, but sometimes I happily just cruise around the open worlds on my k-drive and take it all in
