Comment on 'Live-service is a red flag for us': Why one publisher is embracing an older kind of multiplayer hit: peer-to-peer, server browsers, and organic community

Warframe’s multiplayer sessions are hosted by the players, and you can feel when the game is hosted on a Switch. The ping is consistent around 300 ms, but every action will have a second of latency and the enemies will constantly rubber-band around.

Wait they managed to cram hosting onto the Switch? That’s bananas. I don’t play in public most of the time so I’ve never experienced this.

  The Switch port is handled by Panic Button, the same studio that developed the Doom 2016 port. It’s impressive work considering the hardware limitations, but the introduction of cross-platform play made the gap between it and other platforms impossible to ignore.

I keep thinking about jumping back into Warframe but feel intimidated whenever I open it. Got a fancy character I don’t remember how to play (Necros or something?), and I have no clue where to go once I’m in.

Any good resources for returning players?
