Is Warframe related to Dark Sector?

[Noja87 144]

I have a feeling this takes place in the same universe.

They have the same developers... But those images you post are from warframe, this is the game Dark Sector http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Sector

His name is Hayden Tenno, and his armored form definitely resembles warframes.

Since the Tenno of Warframe are descendants of ancient warriors from Earth, I don't think that it's too far fetched that Warframe occurs long after Dark Sector.

Also, Tenno, Tenno. A duuuuuh.

[Noja87 144]

A denitely a sequel then.

[Orenji 1]

Tenno is also the title of the Emperor of Japan and it means heavenly sovereign.

Well as far as I can figure the game is set in the same universe, also the biggest thing is that it's from the same developer although other than that, I don't really see the connection

[Ced23Ric 12,599]

The connection is quite apparent.

Hayden Tenno was, so to speak, the first "Tenno". He not only shares the name, but also the equipment. He is armored, has a special melee weapon, can call upon quasi-magical abilities and even wears an Excalibur suit later on.

The Technocyte virus was a major part of the story of darkSector, and is existant in the Warframe universe aswell. The Technocyte plague (apparently, it got out of hand) is the reason for the Infested. Given what we're using to craft things, Warframes are part of the Plague, but, maybe, lucky few who can channel the virus to manifest usefull abilities.

I'm thinking more along the lines of this: The Technocyte virus is biomechanical in nature... and you say the Warframes are too? As for the person inside each Warframe, the Tenno themselves? Hayden Tenno had an abnormal immune factor in the form of Congenitive Analgia. THAT is why the virus didn't drive him insane and feral like everyone else. Nemesis? I don't know how it maintained its humanity. It could have had CA like Hayden.

Oh, now take a look at this: http://images.wikia.com/darksector/images/1/1a/288382_full.jpg

You did just say the Warframes are "part of the plague," aye? Try this: The Warframes are a derivative technology, a biomechanical suit of armor, starting with the Excalibur. After the final fight with Nemesis, its helmet peels back the same way Hayden's does to reveal its face. I'm thinking it's a mutated/assimilated Excalibur Warframe, rather than some other, ambiguous model (the only other option given the lotus emblem on its shoulder).

Yikes, did you guys hack my email? ;)

One of my guys went and got Dark Sector, played through it, took notes and brought it into a Teamspeak session. I went ahead and read reviews, plot synopsises, talked to people who played Dark Sector and drew mindmaps.

What do you think we are, Steve? Kids, just enjoying your game? Ha, silly Steve. ;)

So i watched the youtube diaries. Turns out this is what Dark Sector was supposed to be before the publishers made them change everything. Like a remake/re-imagining.

Also, the first level of Warframe seems to be a homage to the original Darksector trailer; all it's missing is the bossfight against the giant robot.

Yes.

"steverules" is a pretty low-grade password.

We'll keep those pictures on the down-low for now, though, Stevie.

send money or they're going to twitter

Omg hahah! Damn.

This in of itself makes me even more impressed. I'm glad that Steve and the rest of DE stuck to their guns and went back to the original concept to see if there was any more work that could be done with it. Who knows, maybe we'll see the Glaive (I hope I spelled that right) become an unlockable weapon at some point.

[Mugen9892 0]

Don't some of the enemies in game already wield a Glaive or at least a look alike? The melee ones that drop in a few swings or shots?

Edited January 10, 2013 by Mugen9892

[Noja87 144]

Yeah they do. I wish they would bring back the Glaive too with the same mechanics grom DS. That weapon was the best part of the game,

I just went back and watched that trailer and it REALLY does.From the corridor at 1:10 to the apparent Excalibur suit and Hayden even calling them "Grineer Soldiers" and even the soldiers faces look like the ones in Warframe.Don't forget the last scene where Hayden departs from the ship and walks through the hallway with all the suits hanging up.Its really awesome how the devs did that.I remember watching the trailer way back but would've never put the two together.Well done!Just makes me love this game more.

Did anyone catch the marines using the burston rifle in the old clip for dark sector? So sick to see them bring back pretty much everything

[STARSBarry 162]

the pistols in that as well are ingame..... but on request please please please let us have that skin for the excalibur, I mean the biosuits are cool and all but sometimes having something a little tech like that cant be so bad right?

[Mezecs 18]

Warframe is what Dark Sector was supposed to be before the publisher started changing things.

[Mystokai 95]

Well...for my personal opinion, ''Gameplay Style'', or how should i say more correctly ''Rank possibilities and Way how you level up''

Is VERY similar to Ghost Recon Online, and as only difference that GRO is PvP, while WarFrame is PvE

----------------------

Closest similarities between GRO and WarFrame --->

GRO Have Kits (3 different). Each must be leveled up seperately. Each kit have their own unique ''Loadout'' - Unique Abilities, Armory (2 Type heavy weapons, and Sidearm). Weapons can be ranked up when you use them and customized (Fire rate, clip size, dmg, etc), Armor can be customized with temporaly enchancements.

[Ced23Ric 12,599]

GRO is not made by Digital Extremes, doesn't have a similar backstory and terms. The thread was not about "Guess what random game this could be related to?" but "There is another game by the same people - are they related?" ;)

[TruePacifist 10]

This reminds me.

We need the glaive as a melee weapon.
