Quakecon press conference liveblog – today at 9.30pm BST

quakecon09alogo

Quakecon kicks off in Texas today, and from the look of things this evening’s press conference should be a “doozy,” as our man on the ground, Nathan Grayson, is fond of saying.

Nathan will be liveblogging the event, which is looking likely to feature Rage, Bethesda titles and possibly a DOOM4 debut from 9.30pm BST tonight. That’s 3.30pm CDT (local), 4.30pm EST, 1.30pm PST and 10.30pm CET (Europe).

Don’t forget that IGN is streaming live video.

Get all the updates after the break. See you then!

Hmm… if they’re showing Bethesda stuff I’d really like to get a look at Fallout: New Vegas.

I think the only Bethesda stuff on show will be Brink.

They normally all have a go. Carmack, Hollenshead, etc. Carmack’s going to have his own keynote after it, and we’ll be liveblogging that too.

Will IGN have the video of the Carmack keynote too?

I say what could happen will be:

- Rage Demo
- A couple of things on Quake (not full blown Quake 5 though, not till after Doom 4 anyways)
- Possible teaser for Fallout: New Vegas (although thats actually doubtful as although Fallout is now a Bethesda IP, it’s not their game)
- Brink demo
- Doom 4 reveal

EDIT: Forgot Brink.

If you ever find you need someone spare to send on Carmack related jaunts, you know where to look.

Stupid internet with no video’s of Carmack keynotes. It’s supposed to be the future already.

RAGE looked awesome, I was impressed by the character movement, it looked soooooooo much more fluid than most games.

Oh. My. God. Kojima is currently creating a marinade, so when he eats his heart out, it’s a bit more flavourful.

What’s the point in live blogging and then just saying you don’t understand something? You could at least through up some quotes for the people interested in it.

That heavy dev stuff is indecipherable to a “layman,” tbh. We’d only get it wrong.
