Heads up - Quakecon 2011

Merlin5 · 30 Jul 2011 at 03:37

Doors open next Thursday August 4th, and stay open till the 7th. \o/ Not that I'm going to Dallas! Oh and Brink has been introduced this year.

"BRINK makes a splash onto the QuakeCon scene delivering 5 vs. 5 competitive play open to amateurs and enthusiast alike in the BRINK Open Championship. Event goers grab your friends and sprint, crawl, vault, and slide your way to victory all the way from our single elimination playoff to our main stage challenge."

I watch the live streams with commentary every year just for the quakelive duels.

I guess they're not streaming the keynote after all?

Chaos · 4 Aug 2011 at 20:44

Don't think so

arc@css · 4 Aug 2011 at 20:56

Well at least it's being recorded, unlike last year (video that is, although we did have audio).

Steam are celebrating QuakeCon with big discounts on the id and Bethesda games packages - Quake IV is even up on Steam now.

Where did you see the keynote? Or was it a written summary that you saw?

I've been watching the quake duels all day whilst being on irc #quakecon, it's been fun. I don't remember them doing all the knockout rounds for duels and deciding the 2 finalists all in day 1 last year, but that's what they've done and the final is saturday.

Phoronix is reporting that they're planning to release the Doom 3 source code.

He looks like something out of Rage.
