That's what I want to know, I gave warframe a few chances but it's not that appealing to me

Well deserved..What a fun game done right on the F2P model.

I expect most of the SoE games to be released for PS4 at some point. Hopefully this F2P market can also take off on PS4 like it did on PC.

Yup. I hope it will improve over time but right now it's pretty mediocre.

This game changed my mind about the F2P model. It really can work well. I ended up spending $35 on Platinum just to give back to the developers since I spent over 200 hours on the game.

I keep meaning to get back into this and I keep getting side tracked.
Warframe is kind of an acquired taste experience. You can use real money to buy new weapons/warframes right away, or you can farm the materials and construct them yourself. It is much more satisfying knowing that you earned the new weapon rather than buying it. The first few hours get boring quickly, as it is a tough learning curse and you can't access much or keep up with the difficulty without grinding for better weapons to continue with. Besides that, Warframe is a very aesthetic game, and encourages good teamwork.
The Devs are great about keeping in touch, so be sure to check out their forums.
The most apt description that I've found for the big picture of the game is a treadmill. This is how the game basically goes:
New Weapon>Grind to level>Leveled up>New Area, Tougher enemies, Rarer Resources>New Weapon... And it repeats itself.
I personally enjoy the game, Definitely work a look if you like slightly excessively violent shooters.

Yep F2P is doing well on PS4. DCUO stated they had over 1 million DL on PS4.

Seemed like a tedious grindfest from what I played, and the gunplay/swordplay never really felt... good. I feel the former is typical of Free to Play games, so I guess it's not a huge surprise. I think this is more telling of the lack of content on the PS4 currently, rather than the quality of the game itself.

Warframe is not bad for what it offers, though I havnt played it since begining of March. It has become my go to grinder with friends while we wait for other game releases.
Next year maybe? Fall?

That's cool. Hopefully more mmos show up on PS4.
Don't really like Warframe much though. I appreciate the unique look, but it also turns me off from the game.

I've tried Warframe on the PS4 after having played it for bit a while ago on the PC. It's either an entirely different beast than the PC version or the updates (it's been about a year since I last played on PC) have drastically shifted the combat in the game.
I just don't see (nor use) melee much anymore. There used to be a lot of melee going on with the PC version but now on the PS4, there is a lot more gun usage. Melee actually feels sloppy to use. Maybe it's just the switch from mouse+kb to controller. Maybe it's the updates. Maybe it's just me. I'm almost tempted to re-download the PC version now and see how it compares.

Glad to hear it's doing well. They have done a great job of making a F2P game that provides a fair balance between revenue and content access.
Can't believe we don't have a release date for this yet. Hoping for E3 announcement. PS2 and HAWKEN are the best two F2P games I've played so far.
SOE plan to have all games on PS4.
I hope they bring the SOE all access plan. Where you pay for monthly for one game you get all other free.
DCUO, EQnext, PS2 and H1Z1 for $9.99 a month
That could be huge.

Blacklight Retribution deserves sales too. Such a fun game, very unobtrusive purchase options.
The only problem with the game is that DE has a RNG fetish. If they ever get over that the game can truly expand. But as is, its the best F2P game in terms of MTs.
Have they improved the FPS/connection issues?
WarFrame is a solid game, I could see it being sort of PSO-ish, but the UI and different systems for custimozation and upgrading are so overly complicated and convoluted for the most part. When I am playing the missions it's alright, but once I get to the menus I feel like this:
If you need any help with the mechanics you can always stop by the PS4 OT.

Yeah, I didn't even know about cosuming cards and upgrading until the warframe thread explained it.
It definitely could use some UI tutorials. Otherwise, it's pretty good. I wish it felt less grindy tho. Getting to the second planet zone was huge step up in difficulty, and didn't help that the first boss kept bugging out, so it prevents gearing.

I actually think H1Z1 could be pretty good.
They said it's working in the dev build but they're still talking with Sony about it.

I'm waiting for H1Z1 and Planetside 2, but I honestly can't get past the planet selection screen for Warframe.
One of my friends is literally addicted playing to it; played it 24/7 once

Planetside 2 could be huge for PS4. There is no other game like this on consoles.
If Everquest Next and H1Z1 come over then PS4 will be that much more awesome.

Yeah, one of my buddies uses his PS4 solely for Warframe. Dude is online constantly. Personally, I'm not able to get into it.

Planetside 2 was launch, then early 2014, and then first half 2014. Hopefully they stuck with that and its coming real soon.
And what is up with them not releasing War Thunder on the NA store?
