We should make a sticky for QuakeCon 2005 ?

Well the world's largest lan fest is coming again this week. Every august for the past decade or so, the founder's of id Software have held a lan fest, and allways preview their latest games or technology there :)

This years QuakeCon should be very cool, with the first preview of Quake4 and it's multiplayer, that they say will be very similar to the good old Quake2, but uses the enhanced Doom3 engine :)

Also there has been this cool mod in the works called Quake2 Lost Marine, and it uses the Doom3 engine, but brings back the look feel of Quake2, the first release is supposed to be this week at QuakeCon

I'm looking forward to this year. I had lunch with Kyle the other day and he was kind enough to give me sneak preview of what's going down at the Workshop. I'll let him make the announcement (it's not my place to spill the beans) but I can assure you that he went the extra mile this year to make it happen.

If you like games or hardware, it's worth your effort to get to Grapevine, TX this weekend!
 
So will Quake4 surprise us with a release this month :eek: They released Doom]l[ the same as Quakecon last year. I am guessing realisticly to be released this fall time
 
Pileplanet $cores again :(

Those F'ers, anyone have the download, care to host please
 
Chose not to go to qcon this year.

Most of the people are anti-social, unless you already know them.

The security and NOC guys are nazi's.

And plugging your machine is like sleeping with a hooker. You're almost guaranteed a virus.
 
Hey of the lucky bastards that get to go, I have one thing to ask. Play Serious Sam 2 and let me know a) how it looks, b) how it runs, c) try to find out what system the demo is running on. I swear, you Texans get to have all the fun!
 
The buzz is the best of both. Q2 style SP, and Q3A MP. Why not. Sure get people excited about Quake again, tweak the Q3A style and presto. World isn't full of let-downs. :D
