Quakecon 2013 Schedule Highlights
The entire QuakeCon 2013 schedule is packed full of awesome presentations but personally I’m really excited to see what Bethesda has done with the Evil Within. I previously wrote about that game when it was first revealed, and something about that game has always stuck with me. The game just appears to be an amazing twist between horror and a good design team. On there other hand, there isn’t much to say about the gameplay, since we haven’t been able to see any yet. However, on Friday at 11:00AM, everyone will finally have a chance to see just how things are going with the Evil Within.
Also, very exciting is the gameplay presentation of Wolfenstein: The New Order. Nothing like a rebirth of a once great game, and handing it to a studio of talented designers. The teasers already got a lot of people excited, however this game is going to really have to nail it to keep the Wolfenstein franchise alive. Since this gameplay presentation will be exclusive to attendees at QuakeCon 2013, so we’ll try to let you know how it goes as soon as we can.
Also released with the QuakeCon 2013 Scheduled was the announcement of QuakeCon 2013’s live twitch.tv account. So if want to watch QuakeCon 2013 live on Twitch.TV go ahead and go to their twitch.tv page @ Twitch.TV/Bethesda and check it out.
