QuakeCon Live Coverage; Wolfenstein, New id Game Expected to Be Unveiled (Updated)
Update: Things appear to be running a little behind schedule.
Original Story: With the Shack staff covering QuakeCon in Dallas (not to mention BlizzCon in Anaheim), we'll be doing live updates of the id Software press conference and keynote address later tonight.
Set to kick off at 6pm CDT (4pm PDT), id Software is expected to show off its advanced id Tech 5 engine, with a high likelihood of the company revealing Raven Software's new Wolfenstein game as well as its own new internal project.
In a recent interview with Shacknews, id's Kevin Cloud and Steve Nix briefly commented on the studio's new game, which will not be part of any of its established universes such as Doom or Quake. "You shouldn't expect an RTS or a fighting game or something. People are going to like what they see, but it's not going to be shocking," said Nix. Cloud was slightly more specific, adding, "We're still going to be first-person shooters and in-your-face immersive action."

Is anyone doing live video coverage of the press conference and teh carmack's keynote?

Quakecon is pimping www.ggl.com as doing such for certain things such as matches, but I don't know if that includes the keynote.
