Es gibt viele News bezüglich der Lieblingsspiele-Schmiede der Quake-Gamer. Es folgt viel Ehre, der Geruch von RtCW2 und ein paar Infos rund um die Quakecon.

Nochmals folgt eine Bestätigung, dass es ein Wolfensteintitel gibt und allem Anschein nach wird ein Wolfenstein Film nicht von Sony produziert werden, da die Rechte demnächst auslaufen:
Zitat:
"One of the things we're working on now, although the rights are currently all back with us,with Wolfenstein in development there is interest in a Wolfenstein movie. And Sony had the rights for a while and those recently expired and came back to us."
Mit der Enemy Territory Quake Wars Engine wird an einer neuen einzigartigen Engine gearbeitet, die id mal wieder in den Tech-Mittelpunkt stellen soll. Das negative wird wohl sein, dass RTCW 2 aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach dennoch mit der dann veralteten Doom-Engine erscheint:
Zitat:
We're still not talking about exactly what the project is, but it's a new IP, it's diverting a little bit from the standard id formula and it's not just a first-person shooter...
... The gameplay is somewhat different from anything that we've of done before. The company is pursuing Wolfenstein, Doom and Quake franchises with other partner developers and all, but we're trying to develop a brand-new franchise with this new one. Hopefully, we'll be talking about that sometime this year, and we'll be able to go ahead and come out of our own little cone of silence about it.
Der Standpunkt der Quakecon für die nächsten 2 Jahre steht auch fest, da bei der letzten Quakecon alles wunderbar gelaufen ist:
Zitat:
"I don't know if I'm supposed to say this or not, but the Anatole [the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas], that's where QuakeCon is going to be for the next two years. We've entered a two-year deal with them. Last year's QuakeCon, I think it ended up working out a whole lot better than I thought it was going to be, given the last-minute nature of the way things came together."
