http://interviews.teamxbox.com/xbox/1893/Mark-Rein-Interview/p2/ The big thing we’re excited about bringing to console are mods. We’re going to be an open game. We’re gonna take mods from the PC and bring them over to PlayStation 3, and help their developers polish them up. There might even be a way for mod makers to make some money here, because they can sell it through the PlayStation network…
And Marketplace?
Mark Rein: We hope so. You know, that’s why we’ve been delayed so long in announcing on Xbox 360, because we were kind of busy with Gears, and it took us a while to get a really positive indication from Microsoft that, yes, we’ll be able to do something like that there as well. We’re excited about that.
Mods are the lifeblood of this game, and part of the reason we delayed announcing the 360 is because UT without mods is half a UT. The mod guys do such an amazing job, and this time we also want to find a way that they can sell their wares if they’re good enough.
We’ll see…it’s still a pipe dream, but I’m confident that we’ll accomplish it in this generation.

GREAT NEWS FOR CONSOLE GAMERS! Good for the modders that theyll be able to make some cash. Bad for you console gamers, though...Forking out cash for what Hermits get for free =\...
[QUOTE="DrinkDuff"]Pipe dream does not mean confirmed. Stabby2486
Most mods suck anyway and they take years to develop into something good.
Not really, i have 20 + source mods, and about 5 of them are better than CS and the rest are amazingly fun.
Hidden: Source and Battlegrounds 2 are my favorite Source mods.
Hidden is amazing, there is nnothing like it on the market but my skills as Hidden are lacking, battle grounds is alot of fun I tend to be a fool and reload whilst an angry brit is charging at me with his blade, along with source forts and Pirates, Knights and vikings. Goldeneye Source isn't too bad niether.
I can't wait for Black Mesa: Source and Perfect Dark: Source. Oh, and will Black Mesa have online?

It's pretty funny to see people on the American team spam the "Freeedom!" taunt.

I agree its just pathetic to pay for something that is supposed to be free... Plus we can make our own mods any time we want...

Yeah I am a repeat offender of that, I have Gmod but I dont really understand how to use it, UT2004 mods scene's ok but HL1-HL2 mods scees are the best in history maybe only the original quake came close.

Hehe, I also like spamming the "he is one ugly mother. . . ." taunt in Hidden. :P Btw, Battlefield 2 has a great modding community too, good released mods would be Operation Peacekeeper, Point of Existence 2, and Project Reality. And have you checked out Resistance & Liberation and Insurgency for Hl2 yet?

Oh I don't know how to do tauts yet in Hidden :oops: just shows how poor I am at that mod. I have Project reality haven't got around to playing it yet, the Supreme commander Demo has my attention. :) However Doom 3 isn't bad with mods like forbidden>
EDIT: Why is it forbidden i typed in two mods whats happening. Thats never happend before.
they said the same about Counterstrike, Morrowind and Oblivion. the architectures are too diffrent, the mods would have to be totally rebuilt. so either mod teams would have to get dev-kits for free, or Sony and MS would have to release free ps3 and 360 emulators. without it epic would be the one doing all the porting, which means you would see commercial version of few mods there, not original ones plus of course.... Source is still going strong and it doesn't look like ut3 will get as much mod support as ut2003/4 did
Good stuff I suppose. I still play some Mods on UT2K4 and Civ 4. Even The Sims 2 has some decent mods out there, and thats not even getting into WoW, which if you're playing end game, you need.

In WOW you have addons to custumize your UI and your UI only, this should not be mistaken with mods.
With "mods" he probably means user created maps as this is the only thing that does not require porting code. And even this is questionable if it will see the day of light. But this would be a big step forward.

I'm pretty sure that is not what he meant. Mods and maps are two complete different things, don't put words in his mouth.

I'm pretty sure that is not what he meant. Mods and maps are two complete different things, don't put words in his mouth. Actualy mods is a word that covers new maps, weapons, even AI tweaks, not just total conversions

[QUOTE="MyopicCanadian"]It's really good news... but it's System Wars, so of course people will scoff at it.Huxley_00
rofl yea.. it's so sad seeing all the hermits getting all defensive..
Ummmm....read the OP bud. IT'S UNCONFIRMED. IT'S A PIPE DREAM. Why can't people read nowadays? I really doubt it will ever see the light of day, just as it was for Oblivion and other games. Not to mention you have to PAY for the mods, which is laughable. I doubt many mod makers will take the time to port their game or content/tweaks over to the console versions. They would have to re-write all the code and everything.

Mods are nice but not necessary imo. I can't think of one good console game that needed mods.Spartan070
What about PES6? It has smth like 50% of licences missing...To get them you either install a modchip or play London Blue (Chelsea) vs Merseeyside Red (Liverpool)...

I like the Project Reality mod for BF2 better than the actually vanilla BF2.........
IGN even has an article on it about how amazing it is. Mods are amazing. Just because you can't get them doesn't make them bad.
I should have said very few Mods are as good as the original game they are running on. Anyway mods do take a year or more at least to get to the point where they become stable with less problems like bugs and glitches.
neo tfc > vanilla tfc tfc itself is a mod though anyways
The Specialist is a pretty badass mod of hl... i wouldnt say its better or worse... but its better clearly in terms of content.. same for Desert Crisis and real total conversions dont just take "over a year" they can take even longer than real games since theyre amateurs... like 3-4 yrs... but something like Kung Fu Max Payne... one guy did alone in like 6 months... and thats cooler than just regular max payne
mods are essential to replay value i mean online is a start, but if the game gets tedious, mods spicen it up and no... this is why consoles will never be as bad ass as pcs... with mods you can CONTRIBUTE to a game in development... support it with your help, ideas, concepts...
