QuakeUnity.com will be providing exclusive video coverage of QuakeCon 2008's tournaments, which will include the debut of public footage from id software's new project, Quake Live. Starting Thursday, July 31st, the QuakeUnity coverage team will be live on-site in Dallas, providing video-on-demand high definition video as well as live audio for the $12,500 Quake Live 1v1 and the $12,500 Quake Live 4v4 CTF tournaments. These tournaments will showcase the first public footage of id software's return to Quake. Footage will also be available of John Carmack's keynote as well as any other special presentations by id.

Former Radio iTG commentator Stuart "Django" Ewen and Quake journalist Rod "Slasher" Breslau will be broadcasting matches along with various special guests throughout the weekend. All videos will be produced on-site in 720p high definition and be made available for download and streaming via flash video very soon after they are shot. Multiple versions of each video will be available for download along with the option of choosing either a high quality h264 or a standard quality flash video stream.

Several of the best Quake 3 players in the world will be on-hand to play in the Quake Live tournaments and showcase their skills for the world. Legendary professional gaming multi-millionaire Jonathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel will be on hand to give his thoughts about the future of the Quake series. Currently the spokesman of the Championship Gaming Series, Wendel jump-started his gaming career and business franchise by winning Quake 3 tournaments nearly a decade ago. Wendel will be joined on-hand by his CPL World Tour rival Dutchman Sander "Vo0" Kaasjager, American Quake 3 superstar John "ZeRo4" Hill, and the ESWC Masters 2008 Q3 champion, Belarus' Alexey "Cypher" Yanushevsky.

k, so where are these vod's.

[Grandpa Stu]

yeah, no shit. talk about droping the ball. at the very least a person could expect a "footage has been delayed for 'X' reason." but intead it's a bloody blackout.

[+JuggerNaut+]

what a shitty website.

[obsidian]

I'm looking for Carmacks Keynote video. They said it would be up. THEY PROMISED!!!

[DooMer]

Wasn't a whole lot of bandwidth to go around at qcon, so I'm guessing they'll be uploading when they get home. Factor in jet lag, lack of sleep, waiting for the tournament finals to start in wee hours of the morning, I'd tack on a bit more waiting time.

[+JuggerNaut+]

then they should have edited their announcement and/or let folks know on the site.

This was interesting:
