If you're a PC gamer you've become accustomed to the concept of mods and their bearing on the PC world. Over the years some games have been saved thanks to user mods while others have used them to greatly extend the life of there titles. So given the prevalence of mods I can't help but wonder if they couldn't be used more by developers.
What if developers bought mods from users and made them into patches?
ScreenRant's Stephen Tang writes, "The Elder Scrolls 6 won't be releasing for a while, and in the meantime, the modding community has been making Skyrim into a next-gen game."
That’s just laughable to me. I think they’ve squeezed all they can out of an 12 year old game
"Easily" because they see mods, says the gamer. To heck with licensing, terms agreements conditions, etc. all you need to do is belive in mods. Yeah, so real superficial BS yo.
Do people not want to play a new game? Like, I’d rather see 6 than just a prettier version of a game we’ve been playing since the 360/PS3 gen…
Yes please. Did pretty much everything there was to do in this game. Took a very long time and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Skyrim is one of my all-time favorites, but I would prefer a new experience.
I don't want a next-gen version of a game I've already played to death. Skyrim was a great game, but I'm over it.
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.
I would love this.
Its a great idea for everyone involved. The mod creators get credit and attention for their projects. The developers get to make money on free content.
Its a win = win situation.
It would also lead to a standardization in quality when it comes to the mods. As any mod user will tell you, all mods are not created the same.
nope because then we'd have to pay for them in some way.
It would be a win win. Cause the modders get something, and the game would be fixed. Usually the modders make the game better (performance etc, [just judging on some games]).
But then I don't see this happening. Cause the developers could just hire the modders.
I know everyone hates COD, but the first mod that must be brought out if this were to ever happen is the Star wars Galactic warfare mod. Not too many people play it on PC anymore and it is fantastic, would be great to play on my big tv :)
Why would I want to buy a free user MOD from a developer?
Valve and a few others have done wonders for select 'mods', CS, Gary's MOD, but these weren't designed as a traditional free modification. Developers are more than capable of informing their consumers of mods/anything else they like through the usual methods, social networks, their forums etc meanwhile giving the credit where due.
