GDA 08: IGA teams with ID for Quake Live

PC News | Don't forget, it's free.

id Software and in game advertising specialists IGA have announced that they have teamed up for Quake Live. Quake Live is a browser based game, but it seems id software won't be taking any shortcuts, even though the game is browser based. According to Kotaku Quake Live will feature stat tracking, friends lists, matchmaking and sponsored tournaments.

"id Software is among the proverbial godfathers of modern gaming and we are thrilled to be working with them on their first title in our 'freemium' category," said Justin Townsend, CEO of IGA Worldwide. "This partnership is only the latest testament to the increasing acceptance of in-game as an effective, measurable advertising medium and a strategic revenue opportunity for publishers and developers."

The first two images of the game can be found in our media panel.

I think I'll approach this one with caution, I still feel burned by the the mess that was Enemy Territoy: Quake Wars.

Unlike Quake Wars, this looks to be based off Q3A; one of the best FPS titles of all time (don't like it? go jump in a puddle, haters). Unless they somehow transform it from a frantic, energetic, twitch based speed-shooter into a plodding and, quite frankly, boring squad based shooter (which would be no mean feat) then I don't think that there is too much to worry about.

I'm staying optimistic. Free Q3A gaming anywhere you have access to the 'net? Yes please!
