    Well I REALLY REALLY hope and or beg 4A studios will make mod tools for last light since the community could mod the game and do what the studio could not do/or add like CO-OP or adding weapons/ map areas etc..

    What do all of you think?

    I feel as though 4A Games will veer away from releasing modding tools for any Metro title, due to the fact that the game is very linear, the fanbase is viciously supportive of what the developers do, and the developers are trying to accomplish a certain tone, mood, and atmosphere with the game they deliver.

    The last thing they would want to do is have the "fanboy" portion of the community homogenize what they have been striving to achieve over the past few years by using the modding tools to remove the clothes from every metro woman, or replace nosalis models with those of anime.

    My two cents.
     
  5. There are a few mods for M2033. Texture replacements, sound and HUD overhauls mostly, but hey, without the tools that's the best you can get.

    I assume gameru.net community will get back at it once the MLL is out once again.

    It's mind boggling why 4A aren't giving mod tools to the PC community. Look how many games have been rejuvenated and caused a massive increase in sales to it's publishers because of them. (Arma 2 for DayZ, Crysis, Crysis 2 for high res mods)

    It's this sort of crap which THQ pulls which makes me wonder they only have themselves to blame for their demise.

    If they did add the modding tools it could become the next Half-Life or Arma 2
     
  10. THQ said no at the time. Any sane publisher will. Who in their own mind will cut down zero-effort DLC sales?

    Or increase base game sales as with Skyrim. :D

    There is no evidence to suggest that mods result in people buying no or less DLC anyway.

    well, look at the Stalker games. we have lots of mods out for all thre games, and more in development, and they still attract new people to the games, and they are still selling. I know Stalker series are an open world games, and Metro is linear, but if we had modding tools, the possibilites would be endless.
     
  13. There is plenty of it.

    Publishers won't be able to sell "three guns, two levels and one new hat" anymore because players can make their own of the same quality or better.

    Official DLCs for TES are giant, with highly developed and well written stories, not to mention a metric crapton of optional side activities. Fans simply lack dedication and resources for this kind of endeavour (Even if they don't, it simply takes years to finish), that's why Bethesda is not threatened by creativity of it's fanbase and encourages it.

    I wanna replace all the guys with women and then put in an all nude mod. Haha!! I know, I know...Does sound interesting though, eh chuvak?

    BTW, in Skyrim, not only did they triple their sales with the Creation Kit, they also tripled their sales on their DLCs also. I've got my Skyrim modded so much, it looks almost like a bunch of runway models have replaced the females in the game.

    So if M LL puts out a Tool Kit if some kind, they may be in a possible running with Skyrim, even though this is more of a linear game than RPG. But, in my eyes, that doesn't make any difference. I did however add a map and a texmod nude mod at this time. That's as far as I'll go.

    You do realize there's already hidden models in the game that are 100% naked, and their genitals are even detailed? :lol:
    I don't know, maybe you could be able to set all other models to those? :p

    I've seen them, and the textures are great for a linear game, and not modded. I was just kidding about all women, except on Fallout 3 I replaced all the raiders with all females, as I did with FO New Vegas and all bandits in Oblivion, except for the quest-required ones which can be changed to fit. Did the same in Skyrim.

    Problem is, I can't get in behind the curtain to check them out because I'm blocked, and I have no way back there, and no console command-ability. In my user.cfg though it allows for a console grave button, but I forgot which button that is. :)

    I'm pretty sure that completing this will get you put on some sort of watchlist. I mean, have you just tried, you know... porn?

    There's a guy here on the forum called DownRegulation, who has posted quite a few videos where he has modded noclip into Metro2033 and into Last Light, and he has also done some other things. You should check out his threads :)

    If they don't support mods they could at least make game easily moddable, like people figured out how to mod GTA games on their own.
    Mods give game a second life and a huge replay value.
