Volume Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Warframe is the worst racing game I have ever playedFirst off, the acceleration is clunky and unrealistic. When you hold down the mouse/accelerate button to reach the maximum speed, this speed is actually reached within the very first second of acceleration. And then when you stop holding down the mouse/accelerate button, you come to an almost instantaneous stop. This game is probably the first racing game that I've seen that lacks simple graded acceleration/deceleration physics.In addition to that, and if that wasn't bad enough, the speed balance is terrible! Does it matter which character/vehicle you use? Yes. Speeds are different between different Warframes, but the indisputable fastest is Loki! This gives the illusion of player choice, but when the best option is obvious (Loki, or Loki Prime), there is no choice to be made.. Now, this might have been acceptable in some older games, but racing games these days make use of different vehicles with varying strengths and weaknesses. This adds a bit of depth to the game and forces you to adapt to different tracks based on the vehicle that you're using. Not so in Warfame. Here, Loki is the best by far. Choosing any other one comes down to merely an aesthetic preference, and you're gimping yourself by doing so. The worst possible exception is Volt - he has an ability that makes him run faster, but if they're in range, it makes the people he is racing against ALSO run faster! This is a either an awful bug or downright confusing game design.The game is also an example of how innovation can go bad. The track design, while undeniably innovative, is also the worst that I've seen in any game. The tracks are riddled with really annoying s--t tacked on for the sake of being the first game to implement the gimmick. Case in point: track obstacles that range from obtrusive foliage and buildings, to annoying NPC robots and clones (yes, f-----g robots and clones) that throw s--t at you in order to distract you. The tracks are also convoluted to the point of being more like mazes than anything else, and the twists and turns of the tracks can sometimes be so abrupt as to come to a f-----g 90 degree angle.I haven't played Dark Sector, but if Warframe is any indication, this is one racing series to stay the f--- away from.

Jaypalm Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Keep in mind that if you have Rhino Prime with the Arcane Vanguard helmet, he is technically as fast, and arguably slightly faster than Loki(Prime). Just wanted to throw that out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to throw that out there. Also, you can use an ability called Iron Skin to get limited immunity to the robots and clones, which is really nice. Doesn't help with the tracks, though.

VioDuskar Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) dear OP, while loki has the best top speed, zypher and nova has the best acceleration, but they use the nitrous meter to do so. yes loki can also accelerate quickly, but he uses twice the nitrous as zypher and possibly as much as nova. this game also has a feature that advanced users can use to get an advantage on the track, coptering and directional melee! similar to drifting corners on other games (it's not for noobs)! however, you need to equip your car with special parts to use this feature effectively. (think turbo or supercharger in other games) also, try wight reduction kits by removing your 2ndary and pimary parts. additionally seek nitrous enhancing tuner mods like flow, and speed enhancing tuners like rush and marathon. finally, dont forget to add your sick vinyls to show off your speed-gang affiliations, paint your sweet ride, and add sick rims (armor) to intimidate your opponents! see you on the track tenno!
