But thats cool if you dont like mods. But if Microsoft come through with what they said about modding, then games like Skyrim will be 1000's of times better on Xbox One than PS4. Granted PC will still exist in the same modding vien. But PS4 will be left in the dust for games like that. Mods that add levels, change graphics, change characters, add new modes. Thats the potential from having a devkit in every owners house. The pool of talent goes outside of the development community and into the bedrooms. Just like PC gaming for the last 10 years.

Potentially, we could get old school Final Fantasy clones with newer amazing visuals from some guy in his basement. 

Yes Xbox One will have a MUCH bigger indeie scene than PS4. In fact I predict a HUGE amount of bedroom Indie devs by gens end and a landslide in exclusives for Xbox One that just can never appear on PS4 due to Xbox One being a devkit at retail.


Don't get your hopes up. It won't be anything like on PC. Every possible Mod has to get through Quality Assurance stuff so it can be released on the Xbox store. And I'm not sure if Microsoft is allowing something like that free of charge for everybody. A mod like Randy Savage Dragons or killable Children will never happen on XBox. Even if Mods will be allowed, I think we will see many clothes and stuff like that for 0.99 $ per item. 

If you want mods, you just have no other option than PC. Only on PC there is no corporation that tells you how you have to use your hardware. Only on PC you have total freedom. Which is absolutely necessary for the existance of community mods. If you buy an Xbox because you're looking forward to all those cool mods you know from PC gaming, you're ins for one hell of a disappointment.

Do we think it will be possible for PS4 to a dev kit like X1 or is this a hardware thing? Because it would be cool If both consoles got their own mods for games, making the games even more unique :)



Sony has already allowed modding on the Ps3. Thats why Ps3 got UT3 and 360 didn't

1000's of times better... really...1000's? PS4 will be left in the dust. OTT much :)

Pretty much agree with most of what Dr Grass said...

Here are my opinions.

Little Big planet has allowed users to make levels/modes for the last 3+ years ;).

Also the Xbox 360 allowed you to make games using the Xbox you purchased, this isnt anything new - you could just use XNA/Arcade.

Sony have already moved to a more open platform with their Open Mobile based platform, making games for Vita etc can easily be ported onto a tablet/phone... PS4 is already going this way.

At the moment, XboxOne is getting pretty much obliterated for Indies, not my opinion, but the opinion of indies, and if you follow the right people on twitter, you will notice the crazy amount of indies that are currently making stuff for Vita/PS4. This *could* *might* change.. but right now that is not the case. The reason, Sony is litterally sending out dev kits to indies... MS havent/cant (production issues?). So it is actually a good idea to allow development from a purchased Xbox, but that wont happen until launch... while Sony are sending them out like candy at the moment and so have the head start.

We'll see if they keep the games coming, this seems like a repeat of the 360 where they had the exclusives coming the first few years then they just died off to Halo, Gear and Forza.  Have to wait and see.

Currently it's too expensive. £429 is a lot for a console even if it is new. Didn't know modding was possible on the system.

There is no way the Xbone is going to have modding communities even close to the PC.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

It will happen. Microsoft lied about the Kinect being depedent and if anyone fell for it I feel sorry for them. They know they want Sonys marketshare and Sony beating them out the game will stop let the truth come out. They admitted it so now they have room to drop the kinect in the press if the gamers choose the PS4 which is most likely whats going to happen.

Stop talking matter-of-factly. For all we know, it was dependent....for the origional vision of what X1 was.

FYI, im glad you dropped the whole "loyalty" sig.....bout time you embraced who you are. I respect that openess.

Watch my "matter of fact" happen. Microsoft is one of the most predictable companies. They are aligning themself for a Kinectless bundle for fear that Sony beats them.

Im amazed that users here think LBP is modding. Maybe im not on a forum where people actually know about videogames?

Again XNA/Arcade is nothing like it. 

Sony fans who seem to be trying ard to downplay the devkit thing.

Ask yourselves this. Why would Microsoft allow every single retail Xbox One console to be a full blown devkit? Surely its a waste of time effort and money if its not used and doesnt have a real mod scene. Not LBPscene. ROFL.

Im 1000000000000000000000000000000000% certain, Xbox One will have loads more unique Indie games than PS4 or Wii U could ever imagine. And a massive Modding channell.

Even I know its coming. But no sense releasing one when people have preordered the $500 sku. 2014 Summer is my guess. Due to the origional purpose of X1 being nullified, I would imagine a Kinectless sku is in the cards.

But again, you don't know if kinect was needed for the origional X1 design or not.
