Could Map Editors be standard for Next Gen FPS games

Yeah I bought Timesplitters 3, yes its still goldeneye gameplay albeit sped up and more spammy and YES you still cannot jump for some goddamn reason.


But that aside the fact that free radical has continued to support the map editor and now you can actually upload your custom made maps to the main servers to share (I made a GAF WARS map located HERE)


Can we finally see the era of FPS games shipping with map editors, now keep in mind im not asking for Unreal Ed level editing here (which ive done), but even just the basic PREFABED lego-ish building block set that timesplitters have is better than nothing at all.


One of the reason I stick with PC gaming at all is its flexibility (game modding) which I think consoles (legally) will never have, but I think next gen simple map editors could become a norm, at least I hope they do.
 
I would imagine they will be pretty close to standard or at least we will see them in games a lot more often.
 
Pariah looks good, with respect to level editors, and with the more ram next gen, why not go for full flegged support like Unreal engine, source engine etc. Just add a mouse and keyboard accessory and the PC gamer is doomed.

que?



What kind of level editor does Pariah use, if you say UED I will pee on demis face
 
I've been saying for a while now, that I really really hope map editors become standard for console FPS. I fear though that companies like Microsoft prefer that customers pay for maps made by the developer than download free maps made by actual users.

TS3 > me

Zombie, you me and the rest of the TS3 GAF clan need to get some games going!!

Have you made any maps yet?

I've been meaning to play more games with you but my copy was tearing my Xbox apart! Got a new one today, so I hope it was a bad pressing.

Yeah, I've made 2 maps which I have updated a couple of times due to player feedback I got when hosting the map.


Also, register your gamertag with the clan at the TimeSplitters site
Hopefully we can get some games going soon
