Valve Wants To Explore Portal 2 User Content

NowGamer: Portal 2 project lead Joshua Weier has told NowGamer that giving players creative tools to create user-generated content is something Valve wants to "keep exploring in the future"...

I'm all for user-generated content. First LBP, then ModNation, now Portal 2 and next inFamous 2 - give me more!

???

user generated content aka mods have been a staple at Valve since the 90's, and have been around since the dawn of pc gaming long before that...

Troll harder next time.

All those games you mentioned have strict limitations to what they can produce as far as user created content goes.

Going by your logic I can also list Trials HD, N+, Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts,
Forza 3, Halo 3, Halo Reach and Xbox Live Indie Games (including FortressCraft)
in that list.

Wow, sensitive much? I was hardly trolling - simply stated how much I want more user-generated content. Regardless of console, I don't care - I just love being able to mark my stamp on it.

Still interested to see how mod levels might be accessible on consoles - should be simple on PS3/Steam but will MS allow access to free content?

[Philoctetes]

My copy will be arriving later today, and I'm also very interested to see if consoles will be able to able to play PC-generated user levels. That would be sweet. I'm hoping that at least these are available for PS3 users -- that should add all kinds of value to this game.

From the interview that's link in the article it sounds like PS3 will get PC-generated user levels through steamworks. Sounds like Xbox might miss out till MS allow steamworks on their system.

I just hope they allow more user created mods to the ps3 from the pc like unreal tournament 3 did.

[bestofthebest]

yea Im hoping that ps3 will be able to access mods from pc. If UT3 did why can't P2 do it especially since steamworks is integrated in the game.

There's user created content for every valve game, pc gamers expect it. Counter strike was originally a half-life mod.
