QuakeCon 2011 dates announced

By Robert Purchese Published 28 January, 2011

Bethesda, id Software bonanza.

The dates for QuakeCon 2011 are in. The event takes place in August, from 4th-7th, in Dallas, Texas - where limousines are fronted by bull horns.

QuakeCon used to be a place for id Software-related celebrations that usually involved huge old-school LAN parties, i.e. bring your own computer, plug it in and play an hours-long game of Quake.

That essence still remains, but there's a lot more going on now id Software is owned by ZeniMax - parent company of Bethesda.

In August, Bethesda will still have Rage, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Doom 4 to release. Brink and Hunted will have been on shop shelves long before.

Rage is id Software's hotly anticipated new game.

    The more I see of Rage the more I think it could be the perfect antithesis to Fallout.

    In a crammed year for shooters (as always) I'm hoping it's different enough to stand out.

    looks decent, cant wait to see more. i was at the eurogamer 2010 and i got to see the stage demo, i reckon we're in for a fair few surprises with this game.

    i'd also like to add that i got a free rage t-shirt by tim himself woohooo!
