To celebrate the forthcoming release of RAGE™, the highly anticipated first-person shooter from legendary developer id Software, Bethesda Softworks® is pleased to announce An Evening With id Software: A Look At The Past, Present and Future of Gaming. This special event, to be held at the iconic Sydney Opera House on Sept. 14, 2011, will feature RAGE creative director, Tim Willits, talking candidly about the history of id, RAGE, and his thoughts on the future of the industry.
Inventors of the FPS genre, id Software are celebrated for developing blockbuster franchises including DOOM®, QUAKE® and Wolfenstein®. Formed in 1991 in Richardson, Texas, id has a long-standing reputation as the godfathers of the first person shooter, not only defining the genre in the early nineties but refining it over the last two decades. For one night only, The Sydney Opera House will be home to the art of video games and Tim Willits.
A number of lucky fans will have the opportunity to attend this exclusive event alongside a number of the Australian and New Zealand video games industry. They can win their chance to attend via a series of competitions hosted across a number of media outlets later this month.
RAGE will be released in Australia and New Zealand on October 6th, 2011, and will be available on Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and PC. RAGE won numerous awards at E3, including ‘Best Overall Game of Show’ from IGN and three ‘Best of E3’ Game Critics Awards including ‘Best Console Game’. RAGE features intense first-person shooter action, breakneck vehicle combat, an expansive world to explore and jaw-dropping graphics powered by id’s revolutionary id Tech 5 technology.
