RAGE : Trailer

Oh , yes : I am still pissed off at Bethesda & SD with what they did with BRINK till now.But this trailer for RAGE which was shown today @ Quakecon is BADASS. And yes, as they : This is just the beginning .

Quakecon 2011 Steam Sale : Aug 4th

Steam is rolling out new set of sales from today till Quakecon ends (Sunday , 7th Aug)


Quake 4 is up for grabs @ $ 19.99 with steam slashing the prices of BRINK to $ 24.99. BRINK is free to play till Sunday 1PM PST with the DLC included. The 50% off with the recent patches , fixes and free DLC is the best you can get BRINK for ( at least for the moment). Splashdamage sites are abuzz with the fact that player numbers have gone as high as 3900 right after the F2P announcement. I still consider that it is a desperate attempt from SD to sustain the game and improve the playerbase. The fact that I got slammed for the above statement is an other thing.

Some of the deals below :

• Quakecon Pack 2011 $70
• DOOM 3 Pack $12.50
• QUAKE III: Team Arena $10
• Quake III Arena $10
• DOOM 3 $10

BRINK DLC - 3rd Aug

BRINK DLC is due by Aug 3rd on all the platforms - so says the latest blog update from Splashdamage.

As i mentioned in the edge gamers website for Quake Con, it will be fun to see the finals for BRINK being played on a map which they haven't played till 24 hrs ago. Good going SD considering they could have released it early for PC without wasting time on the consent from MS/Sony. I respect the commitment towards releasing the DLC on the same day for all platforms , but you could have spared the PC folks from the wait. Then again , that would have been a disaster with the FREE DLC for two weeks campaign.

I have lost hope in the game. Wish I could travel to QuakeCon though.
