Quakecon – No “major announcements” in press conf, says Willits

doom3

There will be no “major announcements” in tonight’s Quakecon keynote, id super-boss Tim Willits said at the Texan event today.

The exec said that the press conference will instead focus on updates for already-announced games.

And that means no DOOM 4 for you, Ringo.

Willits dropped the tidbits in an overheard press room chat. The walls have ears, Tim.

We’ll be liveblogging Quakecon’s opening speech from 9.30pm BST tonight. Get more details on that here.

Is it just me or do I think it’s a double bluff?

No way would the Doom logo be there unless it had a reason.

It’s a trick. Doom 4 was already announced.

I meant properly announce it!

A teaser or something.

Which they could do, because they wouldn’t be breaking their word since Doom 4 has officially been announced.

The exec said that the press conference will instead focus on updates for already-announced games. – Doom 4 teaser fits. :)

Here’s to hoping M337ING is right.
