Rage will ship with full modding tools on PC photo

When it comes to PC games, one thing the platform has always had over its console brethren -- other than better graphics -- is mods. Since Rage is an id Software game, creative director Tim Willits has told PC Gamer that the PC version will ship with full mod-making and level building support.

In the words of Willits: "All you need to do is Pull down the console, type 'id studio', then press enter. Then, bam, there’s all the tools we use."

Can't wait for someone to mod the game into an idTech5 version of Doom, Rise of the Triads, or ehm, Borderlands.

Something in my pants is raging!

I wonder if they will do what Unreal did on the PS3 and allows console users access to mods as well....that would be sweet!

mix is right. Would be awesome if more shooters allowed us to create or owm maps, for example. Since Sony loves the share and create thing, why not?

Sounds appropriate. Due to Carmack's penchant for testicle shattering tech, he'll always support the PC community.

the ps3 will get mods for this once the 3.60 keys are released.

sad, i can mod most any game (fo3, fo:nv, crysis, mass effect, dragon age, bioshock, ect) on the ps3 and very easy too but in order to do so, the ps3 needs to be hacked. most of the mods are just straight up pc mods with only some file name changes to get them to run.

I wish more games would come with the actual tools the developers used.

Lolwat? I seem to remember ID explicitly saying a while back this engine was going to be "too complex and powerful" or something along those lines for modders to make use of. This is an interesting turn of face.

Previous gameplay vids were less than enticing to me, but this news is has renewed my interest in the game.
