[Update] Added a video showcasing the iPhone version of RAGE - it looks amazing! Watch below. [End of Update]
During John Carmack’s recent QuakeCon 2010 keynote, the id Software co-founder and technical director opened his talk with his “neat” unannounced “something” that he teased via Twitter recently.
It’s a side-project that he’s been working on recently thanks to extra time afforded to him following id Software’s acquisition by Zenimax. Now that he doesn’t have to worry too much about the business side of the company, he can focus on programming, and the iPhone and iPad versions of RAGE are the result of his ‘extra’ time.
What kind of evil magic is this?! 27 games comprising titles from id Software and Bethesda Softworks’ back catalogue, all for $69.99?!
A celebration of that pagan ‘QuakeCon 2010’ ritual down in Dallas, Texas, no doubt!
I feel an unholy presence behind this ‘QuakeCon Pack,’ which is now available through the Steam digital download service to purchase.
Should you take advantage of this offer, you’ll save a whopping $233.35, which is the price you’d pay if you bought each of the games individually – games like DOOM 3, Fallout 3, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and more.
The full list of games available in the QuakeCon Pack is as follows:
This year’s QuakeCon begins today, and with it, a celebration of all things id Software (DOOM, Quake) with massive multiplayer tournaments, an enormous Bring Your Own Computer (BYOC) LAN event, all kinds of presentations and exhibitions, and what many would call the ‘crown jewel’ of the event, John Carmack’s annual keynote.
Every year, id Software’s co-founder, technical director and all-round genius John Carmack gets up on a stage and speaks at length (up to three hours sometimes) with no notes or prompts (except during the lengthy Q&A session) and goes on a stream of conscious ‘technical ramble’ about his work at id Software, the game industry, future directions, various programming challenges, and of course his rocketry work at his aerospace company, Armadillo Aerospace.
Sometimes, he even reveals id Software games.
According to social media message postings by Bethesda Softworks’ community manager Nick Breckon, some big names are going to be attending QuakeCon in Dallas, Texas in two weeks time – names that may just be ready to make a big announcement.
