In an interview belonging to the Noclip documentary series by Daniel O'Dwyer, Digital Extremes Studio Manager Sheldon Carter detailed an unexpected result that occurred when the developer introduced a small microtransaction for Kubrows, an in-game virtual pet. The studio had implemented what Carter defines as a "slot machine lever" that allowed gamers - for the price of about $0.67 - to randomize the fur pattern and fur color of their pet Kubrow. While it was only a cosmetic feature, the idea of putting something so random behind a paygate drew the ire of many of the game's fans. Still, Digital Extremes went forward with the idea - until one fan spent well over $100 on it almost immediat
It’s all about managing your Rift and which dimension you’re in. You’re even able to shift in and out of dimensions by rolling (or in Limbo’s case, it’s more of a dash), which leaves behind a portal for teammates to use. He’s a very unique character to play as, and works surprisingly well for both solo and cooperatively play. While playing solo, you can enter a safe zone where all damage is void, which helps in sticky situations. Cooperatively you can freeze enemies in place and even allow your friends to enter the rift – great for activities such as defense or excavation. He’s incredibly fun to play as if you get him down, one that does require some work, but you’ll be rewarded in doing so. Outside of how he plays, Limbo Prime comes with a higher shield capacity, which if you’re skilled enough, you probably won’t even need all that much, along with an increase of armor, and your energy pool. It also comes with an extra two polarities, ensuring you won’t need to Forma him too many times.
Unfortunately it seems that Nexon is being a tad too eager to win, especially considering that there aren't exactly the Golden Globes at stake. Not only the publisher posted on its forum promising a Double Rainbow Event in Mabinogi itself in case of a win, but it went a step further and, some would argue, a step too
To help motivate Sony fans to jump into the battle, an Ultimate Fan Pack full of goodies is being reserved for players that pre-order the game by November 12 . The PS4 exclusive bonus pack includes a Braton Rifle weapon skin, 50 Platinum, and 20,000 Credits. Players can use all those free Credits and Platinum to shop for items and upgrades in the Market and get an early edge on the competition. Digital Extremes will continue to offer monthly content for Warframe well after the game’s PS4 lau
We had a lever, basically, for all intents and purposes, and we saw, you know, a guy pull the lever like 200 times. And it’s just like, ‘oh my dear god, what have we done? We’ve created a slot machine.’ And so you know, it was a couple days I think it took us to take it out - a day, day and a half. That one is a big reg
When Carter and the rest of the development staff looked at the ~$137 purchase history of a man who really, really wanted to find the perfect fur pattern for his in-game pet, they realized they had essentially created a slot machine that impulsive players would gamble away significant amounts of money on. While many studios would consider this a big win, Digital Extremes made the decision that this kind of activity wasn't healthy for the playerbase in the long run. As Carter explained, it wasn't long before the 'gambling fur randomizer' was removed from the game entir
It's definitely not the first time that developers encourage their players to vote for them in this kind of popularity contest, but it's fair to say that this time around things have gone quite a bit overboard, especially considering the nature of the cont
At this particular time, we're debating what we're going to do - if we're going to let them. It's most likely going to be a no because that's a certain gameplay hook needed ahead of time, but the struggle for us is we're a free-to-play game; we want as many people to play the new stuff as soon as possible, so if we release this awesome update that takes you twenty hours to get to, that's a problem. Luckily daytime is a solution but nighttime is in its own easy enticing, so we're trying to figure out exactly how to hook someone in to communicate this is what night is for if you're new. Which is something we struggle with a lot.
Warframe is a third-person action game by developer Digital Extremes, that mixes shooter and melee combat, with fantastical powers, RPG elements and even looting. The game hit in open beta last week and after loving the closed beta, we tried out the latest version with Update 7 to share some gameplay foot
