#warframe 1999 demo

[hornet-best-bug]

Some of arthurs lined when way pointing use some british english slang, so, i, a british person, have translated it for you all. If there are any i missed, let me know🫶🫶

"Check your 5's and 20's" = To survey the immediate surroundings, specifically the area within 5 meters and 20 meters

"Shufti" = informal british english term that means to take a quick look at something

"Recce" means reconnaissance, or the act of gathering information about an area for military purposes

The Warframe 1999 Demo reminded me of how it felt to be a new player again, leveling up my fresh out of the foundry weapons by running the Mars exterminate missions over and over again. That could've been my Baby Excalibur with the Karak and the Lato and Skana, killing enemies one at a time.

When Drifter shows up in 1999...

My LR4 Drifter is gonna be like "Arthur, hold my beer" and put on a clinic.

Scaldra: Did anyone get the name of that truck that hit me?

Drifter: Weapons Platform Saryn with a Tenet Cycron. You're welcome.

1999 DEMO!!!!!!!!!

It's here!!!!!!!! Just tried it and I'm so excited!!!! Playing as Arthur is so fun!!!!! The mission is like a regular exterminate but it also feels new to my little brain!!! I love how everything looks!!! The atomicycle summoning animation is so cool!!! I've crashed the atomicycle into the enemies more times than I can count to kill them with the fire ring!!!!! I myself died once but that's okay because Arthur had 99 revives!!!! He's a beast!!!! I can't wait to play more!! This update is really the thing that keeps me going!!!!!!!

Warframe 1999 Demo Highlight

[ritasanderson]

they should kiss

[glaiveprime]

hes so fucking pissed that he went for the laser and forgot that he was mad (he immediately ran off after this)

ft. @azurennne's drifter ophelia (she/her) and my drifter frey (he/him). his favorite hobby is to embarass arthur as much as possible

[upsidedownsmore]

am I seeing things or does it look like Warframe 1999 is going to have different seasons??

I had thought that the events of 1999 would take place right before New Year's, but if we get to go through the entire year that would rock so hard

[knightwhoisni]

so, like, this is specifically arthur's kinepage. if it's not just a weird copy via Void Shenanigans, we really just waltzed in and stole this man's pager with help from kalymos.

bro is gonna go nuts looking for that thing only for drifter to turn up and go "yeah hey sorry i kinda borrowed this without permission by projecting myself back in time and following the doctor's giant cat. you can have it back now."

So I've been playing Warframe a lot recently and I just played the Warframe 1999 demo that just came out

Something in the demo caught my attention.

This spot right here- this specific computer wrapped in the infection. The shape of it is oddly similar to a very familiar entity:

That's right- Natah, the Lotus Sentient.

Does this mean that in 1999, it wasn't just the Infestation taking on a form, but the Sentients as well?

Höllvania's national flag sure is interesting to look at.

It's displayed nearly everywhere in the tileset (heck, even on some of the manholes!). We players have already seen it first in the subway section in Whispers in the Walls and in the Höllvania Central Mall (on the floor, nearby the sliding doors to the Atomicycle/parking area). I wonder what is depicted on it means within the setting's context.

(personal musings under the cut)

The Sun-headed figure seems to be a lady. She has a noticeable slimmer build compared to her "partner" (for the lack of a better term) and wears a full length gown/dress with a mantle draped over he shoulders. The Moon-headed figure appears to be a knight. Now, I'm not entirely sure whether it's meant to be female or male, but they're definitely a knight! They're holding a Medieval great helm in one arm, wear some armor (visible on the ankles and feet) and a cape. Interestingly enough, the crescent used for their "face" represents the waning crescent Lunar phase. Both figures hold a Skana. The same sword often seen used by the Excalibur frame...As well as Arthur in 1999!

The first thing that immediately pops up in the mind is the concept of Dualism, and how important it was for the Orokin. The Sun and the Moon are are amongst the oldest, most ancient pair of "opposites" since the dawn of humankind. Different cultures of the world have, at various points throughout history, given different interpretations about them. Even from a linguistic point of view!

For instance, in Greek mythology (and Roman mythology by extension) the siblings Apollo and Artemis Diana for the Romans are the Sun and Moon deities, respectively. In Greek (ancient and modern), Latin as well as Romance Languages i.e. descended from Latin; like Italian, French, Spanish, Portoguese and Romanian "Sun" is a male noun, whereas "Moon" is a female noun. In other mythologies, religions and languages, however, the roles are swapped. Therefore you have male lunar deities and female solar deities. And then you have the linguistic wildcards where either one or both become "it" still linguistics-wise asdfghjkl (IMPORTANT NOTE: I could add TONS of examples here but, for the sake of keeping this reasonably "short" lenghty, I won't)

Now, in different moments in the TennoCon 2024 demo as well as the released 1999 demo, we can hear characters invoke the name of Sol. Arthur says "Sol help us if these end up Infested" about some games in the Arcade, during the TC2024 demo. Also Zeke (only heard), a few moments before the Technocyte Coda introduction. "For Sol's sake man, don't take this out on me!" (not sure I remember this one 100% right, though) I assumed it was a figure of speech at first (again, given this is not the real world/"Earth in 199 is not quite like ours" to semi-quote DE Reb) but...maybe it is not, after all? Which ties to this other point that caught my interest. (thanks, WF subreddit) There are posters mentioning curfew and authority being given over to Scaldra's Major Neci Rusalka, found in the tileset. They are signed by "the Sublime Majesties". Does this imply Höllvania is ruled by two rulers/sovereigns? Are they a king and a queen? Siblings? Perhaps a brother and a sister...or two sisters, even? Because if it turns out to be the latter...On this side of the Origin System we have the Grineer Queens, aka the Twin Queens. I don't think this is merely a coincidence. Last but not least musing, because who knows, maybe this, too, was thrown in there...Ngl, the first couple of I saw the figures in WitW/the mall my brain automatically went "Wait, are those two meant to be Operator and the Drifter?" Once more, another pair of "opposites". Then again, even the arrangement on the flag reminds of the Moral Alignement thing we've got in-game. Everything seems to be tightly connected to many things in Warframe. (which is why I love the game so much and all the small details added in each and every major update are a FEAST for my own curiosity)

That said, I'm really looking forward WF 1999 and all the things it will bring. >:)

When your slowpoke bum finds out you can still use the first 10 emotes on your gear wheel while trying the demo out. 👀
