The Modding News Destined to Change Everything

I just find it funny how Idol's official blog isn't enough of a "legit" source by itself, so they have to source PC Gamer along with it

Heh, I like how almost all the articles are "Credits to PC Gamer" and "From PC Gamer" and "Thanks PC Gamer". It's the subtle way of saying "They scooped us big, but let's make sure people can read our article too"..

Funny thing about that is PCGamer didn't break the story either... they got their source from Bluesnews.
 
To be fair, it does make them look professional. Ever notice how in papers they tend to quote a few specific sources, which are newswires that *every* journalist seems to get their info from. This is just the same. ;)

...actually back in the DMA days released their formats and info so people could custom-mod GTA1 and 2 (including level designs and so on). In GTA3 they kept a number of formats the same and I think assisted some of the modders to get the other bits of the 3d stuff down so they could continue to work....

Oh really? Huh, I didn't know that! That's pretty cool. Thanks for pointing that out, you learn something everyday :) Makes it all the more unfortunate the direction they've taken though..

Also agree with the rest of your post. I also came to Saints Row, started with SR1, because of the over-the-top, not-so-serious vibe. (Although SR1 is probably the most similar to GTA.) Never got to play 2, but fell in love with the series again with SRTT on PC. I think the official modding support is going to be a huge boost for SRIV, and even more for future titles which will no doubt have a more powerful, and hopefully more dynamic, engine thanks to the upgrades of next gen. That kind of engine would also help Volition directly as well with post-release content. This positive news buzz will hopefully really strengthen the PC sales of IV, so as to give monetary fuel for Volition to burn on the next engine lol
 
Holy hell, that is perfect!

Thank you so much, IdolNinja. Well, not sure if I should thank you but you indeed persuaded Volition to give us more tools for modding, so yeah. Thanks a lot!

I should make a picture of my character doing that "Happy Days" complaint!

I think it was simply a matter of an idea whose time had come, coupled with perfect timing. :)
