QuakeCon Logo

QuakeCon is live and in full effect, some major news has already been coming out from the convention.  Following Kotaku’s liveblog converage of John Carmack’s keynote, I was able to gather some juicy details.

Here are some of the highlights:

  • Wolf3d & Doom Resurrection dropping to 99 cents and $2.99 respectively through Sunday.
  • Wolfenstein RPG now released on iPhone App Store.
  • Quake Live coming to Mac and Linux.
  • Hiring more development teams to work on 3 projects in parallel.
  • 3 Lines of development for iPhone, Classics (Doom, Wolf3d, Quake Series), RPG and ID Tech 5 Line (Built ground up – possible Rage themed).
  • Plans to make ID Tech 4 Open Source when Rage ships.

Included along with this was a new trailer for Rage courtesy of Gametrailers.

We will be updating with more news of the event as the week goes on.
