Want to mod Rage? Good. Speaking to PC Gamer at a recent press event, Id Creative Director Tim Willits revealed that the PC version of Rage will support modding and level design right out of the box. All you need to do, says Tim, is “Pull down the console, type ‘id studio’, then press enter. Then, bam, there’s all the tools we use.”

As for what you’ll be creating, that’s a little trickier; Id’s technology has moved on since you could fit 100′s of Doom levels on a CD. “Building levels from scratch is more difficult,” says Tim, “because we have a layer system in some of the levels. I can foresee somebody modding up Wellspring (a town in-game) and adding different characters, giving them different voice-over.” But if you’ve got the development skills to use it, the level editor will be there. “It’s built into the engine,” says Tim.

Will you be creating levels for Rage? Do let us know. We’ll try and feature the best mods when Rage launches in September.

Suddenly the game is back on my to buy list lol, past talks of megatextures being to resource intencive for modders had me thinking there wouldn't be mods should have known Carmack wouldn't let me down.

Smart people.

Just for the PC?

I would assume so yes, it's not often console games get mod support 

Yes that is true....a level editor would be nice but I don't think the consoles could handle something like that (i'm assuming their level editor would be much more advanced then a Halo forge like level creator)

considering in the past they have been saying that megatextures would mean that even high end PCs with less than 8GB would strugle so they weren't going to include tools at all, I doubt that consoles could handle it...
