QuakeCon 2004 or Bust - Including Quake IV?
viperstyx writes "'Pack the car, buy the airline ticket, or get a new pair of walking shoes - just do whatever it takes to be at QuakeCon 2004. The 9th annual QuakeCon video game festival and tournament storms into town August 12-15 at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas.' Thats right, it's official [and yes, its called Gaylord]. Registration for this year's 3000 persion BYOC (bring your own computer) LAN party (1000 people bigger than last year) opens April 14 at 9pm EST! I wonder if they'll need two BFGs this year?" Also worth noting is the fact that the Raven-developed Quake IV may be showcased this year, according to hints from id's Todd Hollenshead at last year's QuakeCon.
This is the same location as this years Cyberathlete Professional Leauge.
Looks like a great place, some pictures are here
Pain lasts, kid. Its how you know you're alive. Sometimes I think this growing up thing is just pain management-TheMaxx
They announced that it would be a continuation of Q2's story about a year ago.
In an email I read from John Carmack (paraphrased):
Quake IV will be a Doom3 Engine game with a storyline like that in Quake II.
Aside from that, I've heard little else of Q4.
