OK, me and ~310k people are watching Tennocon live on Twitch. It's also on MIxer live.
I'm probably posting only for myself, but there might be someone else interested in this stuff.
Play from July to Dec. for a chance to actually go to Space. Additional chances per day played during that time. 1 person will win 250k USD towards a trip to space. Hope I don't win because I don't want to go to space.
Damn, the new Warframe cinematic is awesome. Oh, it's the new opening cinematic for the game.
New trailer for the next story drop...
Due to the next gen consoles coming up, the rendering engine has been updated. OMG IT LOOKS SO INCREDIBLE. The Lighting and REFLECTIONS. Nice.
Empyrean (formerly Railjack) looks impressive. You customize your battlecruiser in visuals and functional components (shields, weapons, drones, etc.). The crew can be hired and fired, each with specializations and stats. The lighting is amazing.
You can bring people along to man stations on the ship (navigation, weapons, resource gathering, etc.). You or they can exit the ship and enter your Archwings to fly in space solo alongside the ship. You or they can then go to ships or asteroids or whatever and fight on them in your Warframe while the person that remains on the ship can help guide you by putting waypoints in your HUD for the people outside doing battle or by using ship abilities to support them.
The ship to ship space combat (capital ship) looks amazing. While some of your group is doing the capital ship battle in space, you can launch some of your party into the other ship to infiltrate it and attempt to sabotage it from the inside. If you can get to the helm, you can commandeer the ship and fly it yourself in the mission.
Whoa and now for the "boss" capital ship. Looks like your ship can also be boarded which forces your team to defend your ship while still conducting the shp to ship combat in space.
Whoa, squad link is something I can't properly describe but it looks awesome. But basically a distress call was sent out when a ground station projected a shield onto the boss capital ship. Another squad on the ground received the signal and became part of the mission. They are now tasked with destroying the ground station providing shielding to the ship in space.
This whole thing with Empyrean could be it's own game, but it's free and coming to Warframe.
OK that was a creepy end...The Duviri Paradox. Super creepy.
I'm still amazed at how much content Warframe provides for free.
