Warframe Gender Skins?

[wickedfoster69]

isn't it a good idea?

[Stormandreas]

It's not going to happen. DE already said no on multiple occasions.

[tveeggad]

DE doesn't think so. 

 

EDIT: Take a look at Nyx. She was planned to be a femcalibur, but they went "meh, screw it" and made Nyx instead.

If i remember correctly DE said that they dont particularly like the idea of gender switching. But i remember them being split about the idea.

[winters.prime]

DE doesn't think so.

Ash was going to be female as well.

STOP REMINDING ME. It would have been so great if he.. she.. Yeah, it'd be great if Ash was female. Haw haw haw.

The concept art for female Ash looked sooo cool!

DE doesn't like the idea of genders that are just plain copies, "skins." And I agree, because that's cheap and boring. And if I recall correctly, they even said it was a lazy way to go about it in a couple livestreams...

 

What they have expressed interest in, however, is opposite genders with similar themes.

Female ash looked like a pokemon... A really hot pokemon..

[AdunSaveMe]

I think the frames work better as characters more than classes, if you get what I mean.

[Un1337ninj4]

Nope, DE was gonna do dat with Fem Excal but wound up making Nyx.

 

However, Imagine a male Ember with a different skillset entirely. 

 

DE has confirmed they'd think about this.

Removes uniqueness from each frame imo. Variety is not always a good thing.

[Blatantfool]

 It is a neat idea, but also incredibly unlikely to happen. 

 

 Based on the stuff they've said on this topic in the past it is much more likely that we'll see DE release new frames for each theme that have the opposite gender.

 

 For example, Ember being the Female Fire frame would get a 'brother' who'd have his own name, his own look and four unique skills. But overall they'd share the same theme.

[Taikaponi]

Oh dear god, another one of these topics.

[Valfunde]

If  you want to know, ember was originally a man and had the phenix alt helm as original

[Sorez]

If only we got female Ash instead ;o;

 

[Silraed]

I feel like the only person who does not like the female Ash concept art.

[(PSN)SUZOOKUS_MAXIMUS]

Would they be skins or would DE have to make new models which means they might have to update animations and whatever else goes along with a new Warframe model. If it was just a skin I don't think it would work. The male and female Warframes have polygons in different places ya know.

[ZephyrPhantom]

It's a good idea on paper, but as people have already said DE is not interested in doing it. Who knows, though, if Nyx is any indication we may see Male Ember and Female Ash as new frames entirely someday.

FemShepAsh is love. FemShepAsh if life.

You're not alone.

[MerelyARumor]

So...you want nyx ember and nova..to have penises?

 Come to think of it, I think it's best to give this thread a close. These tend to go to a very silly place after a bit.
