Description:
Back 4 Blood has drawn plenty of comparisons to Left 4 Dead 2, but it might miss out on one of the games best features.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Back 4 Blood is shaping up to be a worthy successor to Left 4 Dead 2, but
one key feature of Valves decade-old series might be missing.

In an upcoming interview on TechRadar, we quizzed Turtle Rock Studios co-founder Chris Ashton about mod support in Back 4 Blood, and his answer
was, perhaps understandably, rather cautious.

Unknown at this point in time, said Ashton. Its certainly more challenging these days than it used to be, but you know I love mods, I love modding, its where I got my start in games. Id love to do it if we can but its definitely
a big challenge. Id love to see it. PS5 vs Xbox Series X : which console is right for you? Best co-op games you can play right now Best PS5 games : you need to play these

Ashtons reply is somewhat encouraging, then, as the door hasnt been closed on mod support entirely. However, we wouldnt expect to see mods appear anytime soon as other priorities such as balancing, new content and implementing feedback from the community will surely take precedence for the foreseeable. Analysis: why mods are still important

Despite being released in 2009, one of the reasons why Left 4 Dead 2
continued to be popular for many years is due to mod support, which allows players to manipulate a game in numerous ways.

Some of Left 4 Dead 2's greatest mods range from graphical improvements, like better blood textures, to the ridiculous, like changing the Tank enemy in
Left 4 Dead 2 into Shrek.

As Ashton admits, many game developers and designers cut their teeth making mods, and modding can even lead to full-blown titles being developed. PUBG
was originally an ARMA 3 mod, after all, though not every game is suitable
for tinkering by the community.

While mods are still easier to implement on PC and far more commonplace, mods have slowly made their way to console in games like Fallout 4 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim . It would be great to see mods come to Back 4 Blood, particularly as wed love to see what players could do with different game types, new zombie variants and a bit of imagination.

Back 4 Blood will be release on October 12 on PS5 , PS4, Xbox Series X /S, Xbox One and PC. It will also launch on day one for Xbox Game Pass subscribers. Best Steam games : don't miss these top titles
