Third-party game absences at QuakeCon

Tyranitar24 | August 02, 2008 | News | PC Playstation 2 Mobile

The QuakeCon, which is held in Dallas, had a lot of third-party games that were missing compared to last year, which featured Left 4 Dead and World in Conflict. Activision, Dell, Intel, and ATI were all at QuakeCon this year, but nothing has popped up about PC or console games. There were several banners put around with the World in Conflict: Soviet Assault logo on them, but the game wasn't even at the show because Activision Blizzard dropped it. There were other games that weren't there too, such as Left 4 Dead and most of the games shown off were already released!

Is the economy weighing down on QuakeCon? Perhaps, and that might explain the absence of upcoming third-party games at the annual gaming bash in Dallas, Texas this weekend. Last year, QuakeCon featured a number of upcoming games, such as World in Conflict from Sierra and Left 4 Dead from Valve. This year there wasn't much, and while Activision was there in addition to industry heavyweights Intel, ATI, and Dell, there really wasn't anything new in terms of console or PC games.
