Warframe started out as a small pseudo-sequel to Dark Sector


Wait, someone else on this Earth has played Dark Sector? I really liked that game! It wasn't perfect, but it had some really cool mechanics which were new to me at the time.

When I tried Warframe out, I saw an item called a glaive and made the connection right away. Looked it up and found out it was the same developer. Didn't realize it was originally going to be a sequel, though.

There are tons of references to that odd-yet-charming game... Some of the stuff they don't list, such as the character of Frost being a cut Dark Sector Boss, are also neat connections. And then there's the super-exclusive Proto-Suit for Excalibur, which essentially just turns him into Hayden Tenno.

I love when developers put references into their games... Something Bungie sorely missed out on (Hard Light notwithstanding, heh...)
