Volition Blessing Saints Row Mod Support [Jun 15, 2013, 2:50 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
An excited post on idolninja.com
outlines plans for Volition to release details for Saints Row: The Third
that will allow the creation of mod tools for the open-world action sequel
(thanks nin). This will also include information for Saints Row 2, but
more significantly, is said to ne a "test run" for similar support for the
upcoming Saints Row IV. The post has details on how this all came to
pass, and here's an excerpt describing exactly what it means:
Jeff Thompson, the Studio Director of Programming at Volition, is putting together a package for us containing documentation, file formats, tools, and more on the Saints Row: The Third engine. Myself, Minimaul, and gibbed will be working closely with Jeff over the coming months to use this information to create a robust set of modding tools to supplement our existing ones and creating what is essentially a full sdk for the game! But, that’s not all! Saints Row: The Third is only the beginning! Jeff has confirmed that he will also be digging up all the Saints Row 2 info that he can so we can do the same for it as well, and that this undertaking is actually a “test run” for Saints Row IV.
So, what does this actually mean to the average Saints Row player? In simple terms, the modding community will finally be able to create and offer new clothing, new vehicles, new guns, new npcs, new missions, and even new world geometry which will greatly extend the life of the series and enhance the Saints Row games in ways we never even dared to dream of.
That's awesome. Thanks Volition!

Fuck yeah!
Do you have a single fact to back that up?
How's the graphics engine? Is it good? (I haven't tried the game...)
This is nice that more PC games (even older ones) are getting love.

Nothing groundbreaking in terms of graphics, but it runs great unlike Volition's previous engines.

They're ya go Volition (and Deep Silver?).
No reason DLC and community mods can't exist side by side.

what about COOP with more than 2 players?

Still only 2 people in SR4... I wish they'd change that.

My prediction is that the first two mods will be:
1) co-op for more players at once.
2) physically modeled dicks on the male characters, complete with FloppyPhysics.

Incorrect. The first mods will be incredibly detailed nude skins for every female in the game.

Followed by the animu waifu mods.

I saw it mentioned several times that it's 4 players in SR4.

Oh please. No way they're going to piss away all their DLC revenue. The SDK will be shit and you'll barely be able to mod anything. Just watch.

You say that as if it is a bad thing.

ATis cool of them, but seems a little late at this stage of the game doesn't it? Let's face it, visually speaking it's looking a little long in the tooth.

What does mod support have to do with pretty graphics..? Bethesda's games get tons of mods, many of which improve otherwise lackluster graphics. Same with GTA4.
I'm glad that Volition is officially supporting mods. It will only make their games better.
Official mod support in an open world game? Woohoo!

Finding the negative in something uniformly positive? Blue out of ten!
