QuakeCon Keynote 2004

Sadly I was busy playing chauffeur for a Dutch guy during the QuakeCon keynote address and missed it entirely. Carmack was not chatting this year. :( However quite a few other folks did catch it and have already written up some of the more interesting things mentioned during the show. I'll list off a few of the hot ones and you can check out some more at HomeLAN

- Movement on the proposed Doom movie is still going forward, according to Hollenshead and he said he was more optimistic that a good movie based on Doom will be made.
- Multiplayer modes in Doom III will consist of deathmatch, team deathmatch, last man standing and tournament, according to Willits.
- Hollenshead said he was not worried about other highly anticipated games like Half-Life 2 and Halo 2 taking away some of Doom III’s thunder, saying, "We don’t need other games to suck for ours to be good."

There wasnt anything mentioned about Quake4 really of note outside of the fact that there apparently will be vehicles in the game, or at least planned. Also Quake4 @ QuakeCon2004 sounds hot!
