dude see what he wrote first...Quake con turns 10 and they are havin a competition...duh! Do you even know what quakecon is...sheesh...

LOL! Spam? You are kidding right Rachit?

Oh, btw, I read at Gamespot that there is still no mention of either Quake 4 or RtCW 2 being featured at the Quakecon. Are they trying to keep it under wraps so as to spring a surprise at the event itself? Quakecon looks like an ideal candidate to showoff this highly anticipated game now.

I personally think they will spring a surprise sneak peek of Quake 4 right at the very end. That would oh-so-typical of id Software. In fact, they would be pretty not to showcase at least a demo of Q4 considering all the rampant rumor and itsy-bitsy screenshots and leaked comments that the mags have been writing about. I dont believe they will showcase RtCW2. That still has a really long way to go.

[Nemesis]

well if significant progress has been made on the game, id r sure 2 showcase it @QuakeCon...it is the best event 2 showcase the game...or mebbe they will do it @E3...whenever they do it...just bring it out already!!!

[enoonmai]

No, I think id would be more worried about showcasing it at QuakeCon rather than E3. Think about it, its THE convention for Quake fans, plus its the 10th anniversary, do you really think that they would get a bigger welcome for Quake 4 at E3 than here? No way, if they're showcasing it this year, it has to be at QuakeCon. But I dont think the game would be out at least until late 2005 or early 2006.
