How Excalibur Became The First Warframe

Ойындар

#warframe #warframegameplay #warframegame
Excalibur has always been the first, the first warframe in the game, the face of the game, the starter you see before Volt and Mag. But why? Why was Excalibur chosen as the first? And how did he become the face of this legendary free to play? Well today we take a deep dive into the backstory and history of Excalibur!

    The original darkSector, if you can get your hands on it somehow, is pretty alright. It's a cover shooter from the 360 era for sure, but in the bigger picture it's interesting to have the gameplay context. I don't know how to explain it, but you can tell that they just, feel similar somehow. You'll boot it up and think: You have played this game before. You have never played this game before. Hayden feels really fragile going up against what are kinda like proto-grineer. You can feel some vestige of that in Warframe whenever you're not playing as a flying metal ninja with space magic. I'm wondering if duviri will end up tapping into that, even by accident.

    Okay for one, holy balls that is a well written comment. i know I still own a ps3 so if I happen to do some digging I may be able to get my hands on a copy of dark sector, it is neat to see both the differences and similarities it has from warframe. Overall it’s cool to see what feels like an old Excalibur, just no crazy powers or crazy weapons.

    Umbra's my main. Before that, it was regular Excal, with the Avalon Helm and this really shitty blue and yellow scheme from the default colour palette. Since then, Umbra has taught me a bunch of things since I started playing in 2021. - The enemies cannot sound an alarm in an Exterminate mission if there are no enemies to sound an alarm in an Exterminate mission. - I am emotionally attached to him. - Sword go *FWOZZH*. - He can go toe to toe with the Sun when both of you are listening to Bury the Light. - He could probably outshine the Sun. Then again, that's why we have Vauban. (Turns Bloom to 100%) - I have spent more Formas on his Exalted than Umbra himself. - If him, Baruuk, Ivara, Banshee and Equinox got into a bar fight with an enemy faction, no would be able to see, hear or sense anything happening. Except for the bartender Mesa. She's blindfolded and wants to kick them out. - His Radial Javelin helps me apply a slash proc onto enemies, then prime with a Nukor and press 'E'. Then my computer decides to render frames at the speed of molasses. - Hearing his Radial Howl is both saddening and awesome. - He has influenced my playstyle of "Go dick first into enemies and break everything else. Including them." - Finally, he's so simple, so fun and with enough build crafting, so good. I've only used his Chromatic Blade, but once my exams are done, I will make a full positive Excal with Furious Jav and Chromatic. Yes. I like funny numbers on my 15-inch screen. I'll never see them, but I know they're there. TL;DR: I love him to bits. If I ever get Baruuk, they'll be my two mains. Do I like yeeting things to the moon with my second melee? Yes. Do like turning my brain off and on again to use these two frames? Absolutely. Will they keep me playing as the completely rash and moronic blasphemer of safety? You can bet your house on it. P.S., Sorry if this is too long. It's late and I had very little to eat and a lot to drink, LMAO. Be well, all. : D

    What I love about the Founders thing is that it gives folks who have kept up with the game over time with a little thing to show off that's enviable but not disheartening for folks that missed the boat. It's fun strutting out my Excal Prime and getting comments on it, but I have hated games before which gave old players huge numeric advantages that new players cannot access. It saddles rookies with a permanent feeling of inferiority. In Warframe you just get a little piece of gear that shows you were here when it started and you believed in it.

    Some notes: The Proto(-Armor) skins for Excaliber and the Glaive (which have in-game lore that contains another reference to the time of Digital Extreme's previous successful game) are not the only remnants of Warframe's spiritual predecessor; there is a special skin for Nyx called "Nemesis", which makes her look like the recurring boss of the same name from Dark Sector, who had a lot of the same abilities as Nyx. The fact that Nyx is female is a nod to the big reveal of Nemesis's true identity. There is also the in-game lore that Earth had to be abandoned at some point due to a virus that horribly mutated most of the organic life there, which is similar to (but not exactly the same as) the virus that Hayden was trying to stop the spread of in Dark Sector. Finally, standing special missions that are harder, but offer higher rewards, are called "Dark Sector missions".

    As some of the rare few that enjoyed Dark Sector, I wish we could have an Eternalism centric quest related to Dark Sector. But apparently DE can't do it due to them losing the rights to it or something. Still, it would be great to have a narrative connection to Warframe. It'd drive us lore junkies nuts if that ever happens.

    There are small nods to Dark Sector. Hell, there's still Dark Sectors still in the game! There's the Excalibur and Nyx skins that point back. The "Protokol" gun skins from Nightwave. Glaive...technocite...I'm sure I'm missing a bunch. If it's a rights issue then this is probably as close as they're legally allowed to get. But you're right, having an actual callback to neatly tie the two together with some creative lore would be cool!

Keep up the fantastic work, I’m adoring your work and the nostalgia along the way.

Also I have to object, super jump was not bad we didn’t have the parkour system before & before we had to press CTRL to reset our wall run because we couldn’t wall run forever & then DE decided to patch that lol & the worst offender of that was the void extraction we didn’t have the stairs it was just like a mini wall & a balcony before you jumped to go into extraction (& there was others but this one I always saw struggle & another). & reviving friends was clutch with super jump because if you timed it you could super jump + revive & you would be avoiding enemy fire (super good for endless or even tough content) & it only got better with its buff that you went invisible. But yeah Super Jump was clutch for the old parkour system either way I want my Super Jump back please

    As an early closed beta player the old UI takes me back :D Yeah the EARLY game didn't have a lot of content and was a bit stiff, but its aesthetics were odd and fresh. It wasn't a Halo or Warhammer clone and you could feel the potential. Also that old upgrade tree sssUCKED. The mod system was a stroke of genius, it introduced customization, upgrading, creativity and the collector itch all at once.

    I remember starting Warframe because I thought the exalted blade looked like a cool melee weapon. So my husband tells me the name of the game, I download it and start looking for the weapon only to find out that it was built in to the frame I started as. I remember the lag bugs you could do to have infinite exalted blade so long as you kept swinging, I remember have unlimited enemy and wall puncture with that sword. Excal was my favorite Warframe, and it still is today. He was the reason I started, and my only regret was not knowing about this game sooner so I could support it as a founder.

It was one of the few games of its kind that wasnt alike all others in almodt every way. Yes it wad limited and yes the bugs were a MASSIVE headache but it was a new game and they had limited funds and ability so we went in it knowimg our risk vs reward with being founders may not have paid off but because we were all so hopeful we just kind of said screw it and threw caution to the wind haha .

    my experience playing excalibur is the sweetest i've had in warframe. and i've had a lot of good moments there. i came back to the game one time after a break and had an itch to try out excalibur. little did in know that a new quest had already dropped and would give me a free fully upgraded excalibur. the Umbra. a warframe so powerfull he even surpass his prime counter part in terms of stats and performance. since then i've been using him non stop. and despite all the powerfull warframes that i have collected in my arsenal the umbra remains my most trusty and fun one to play.

    Interesting that you mentioned how Excalibur set the precedent for Warframes getting ability reworks. Just a few months after you posted, a rework of Hydroid was announced that replaced Undertow with a new skill called Plunder, which makes him steal enemy armor. He also got his abilities' main damage type changed to Corrosive instead of Magnetic, hence the armor-stealing.

Because I’m pretty sure by the time they were developing for PS3 there were already tons of successful Star Wars games like Battlefront and the many others in the PS2 era. Just seems ridiculous to think sci-fi and video games don’t go together

There’s just something about Excalibur that I vibe with super hard. Slash dash is one of the best movement abilities in the game, radial blind is never not useful, radial javelin destroys up until mid game, and what more needs to be said about Exalted Blade? I love this Warframe and playing him feels like a second skin, so thank you for making this video about the boy. The First The Exalted The Shadow Excalibur

    One of the things that made excals EB op was the energy waves went through walls, having stalker problems? No problem kill him Through a wall etc. Exacals super jump wasn't that bad an ability when I started the game ver. 0.3 because the game didn't have finishers or wall running at that time, so you had some use out of it. I'm looking forward to your vid on Loki, he got a lot of changes to his skills due to people clipping his decoy into walls on def maps, him teleporting enemies off cliffs (including bosses and their loot,) and him clipping out of the map and running past locked doors etc. It was a good time, but that's why you get the message saying something about the target being obstructed when your trying to decoy. The game was exciting to see what they would add every time you logged back in.

Then DE put Excalibur Umbra back to global server with "The Sacrifice" making Umbra no longer exclusive of CN server. Also because of the claim of no return of Founder pack, Nikana Prime and Spira Prime are exclusive for Founders in CN server the Prime Resurgence of Saryn in CN server was skipped.
