Quakecon 2016 Day 2: QuakeWorld 2on2 (62 comments)

( Major News: Q1)

Posted by Asuka_ @ 01:12 CDT, 5 August 2016 - iMsg

Event: QC16

The first time Quake 1 was uniquely featured in a tournament at QuakeCon was in 1996, when NetQuake was the premiere competitive mode. Only a year later a QuakeWorld 1on1 tournament took place at QuakeCon. This years

QuakeCon celebrates the 20th anniversary of Quake featuring a $25,000

Intel QUAKEWORLD 2on2 Team Deathmatch Open.

QuakeWorld is one of the fastest FPS there exist. On this day the Quake scene looks at the QuakeWorld tourney at QuakeCon.

Andeh wrote on quakeworld.nu:
One of the biggest tournaments in QuakeWorld history is at our doorstep just waiting to start and it's time for a power rank! The 11 teams confirmed to participate shall all be ranked from top to bottom with no regards to region. $25'000 is up for grabs in this wonderful 20 year anniversary tournament and I'm sure every team would like a bite of that cake. In a LAN setting, anything can happen and dreams will undoubtedly be shattered in Texas. There are many teams that could be crowned champions in this tournament and each of the big teams have been practicing to reach the goal of becoming the 2016 QuakeCon Champions. This tournament will never be forgotten. One team will go down in history. One team will always be remembered as the team that won QuakeCon 2016. The 20 year anniversary. The most grand of them all. Let's get right into it...
More info about the 11 teams you can read in the article Quakecon 2016 Power Rank.

QW Tournament on Friday starts at 10:00 CDT. Login for your timezone. The 16 team slots seems full. (toornament)

Posted by dem0n @ 17:13 CDT, 4 August 2016 - iMsg

It took as little as 5 days for The GD Studio's first game Diabotical to reach its premier goal of £110,000 on Kickstarter. However there's still a handful of weeks to go before the projects ends on Kickstarter, which means you can still contribute until the 1st of September 2016.

The GD Studio have included a few stretch goals already and have confirmed the possibility of adding a few more in the next days.

Quake Champions – Debut Gameplay Trailer (223 comments)

( Major News: QC)

Posted by Badb0y @ 16:35 CDT, 4 August 2016 - iMsg

QuakeCon 2016 will offer "a special look" on Quake Champions. Only for QC participiants will be show events about the new Prey and Dishonored 2. New Prey Gameplay Trailer is also up.

Youtube

For now lets watch the new trailer and start spread more speculations. Theres also a topic on the forums about the trailer.

Quake Champions is playable on QuakeCon behind closed doors, no press allowed: "Willits also surprised the crowd with the announcement of the first public exhibition match of Quake Champions, to be held live on stage during the QuakeCon Finals Party on Saturday night. A select group of competitive players will face off to give attendees an exclusive preview of what to expect from the new Quake." (Bethesda.net)

Updates

- QC showmatch not via livestream (plusforward)
- Articles pcgamer, -ign-

pcgamer:
Unlike other shooters with unique characters, the combatants in Quake Champions will all be fairly similar and armed with the same weapons. Some variations exist: Anarchy, a character on a hoverboard, is even faster than the already speedy Quake characters at the expense of armor and health. Sorlag, a large humanoid lizard, has a area-denial acid spit attack that can be used to protect power-ups and weapons from falling into enemy hands.
