There are few games as ridiculously wild, visually inventive and endlessly ambitious as Warframe. Digital Extremes seems to have a mode when designing the world of the game, and it goes full balls to the wall.

The best evidence of this is the full reveal of Warframe 1999, an update that takes Warframe's clever sci-fi visuals and adds help from the Metal Gear series, classic anime, boy bands and early instant messaging services.
