GamesCom 2010 lineup announced

Heading down to Cologne for GamesCom 2010? You should really come by the Bethesda booth. There you will find award-winning games, world-class people, and possibly an unassuming child from which you can wrest a demo controller. Not that we condone such behavior. I’m just saying, he’s totally hogging the station.

Dates for the public run from August 19 through August 22, where attendees will have a chance to check out fully playable demos of Brink, Hunted and Fallout: New Vegas. Special live presentations of RAGE will also be shown every hour of the day.

The Big Beth Booth will reside in Hall 6.1, aisle B #40. Write it down. Find us. Sample our softworks. And wait your turn in line; that kid deserves his demo.

Welcome back to another roundup. This week we start with the latest coverage on Hunted: The Demon’s Forge to share. PC Games Hardware has an interview with inXile President, Matt Findlay. Here’s an excerpt from PC-oriented interview…

PCGH: Assuming that you develop a special PC built of Hunted: The Demon’s Forge what features can only be realized with the PC as technical platform? Are there technical/visual differences between the PC and the console version of the game?

Matt Findlay: Although Hunted looks great on the console, there is a general upgrade of texture resolutions and shading that can occur on the PC because of the ability to scale performance based on hardware. We plan on taking every advantage of that.

Meet the Brink team: Farhan Qureshi

bethblog_farhan.jpg

Effects artist Farhan “middlecat” Quareshi is the latest Splash Damage employee to get grilled for a team interview. In addition to his recent efforts on games like Brink, Quareshi also had a distinguished career in film effects, having worked on some pretty big stuff:

Why did you want to work in the games industry and how did you get started?

I actually started out in the film industry, I worked on several Hollywood movies but I shan’t namedrop (ahem, Harry Potter 3, 4 and 5, Alien vs Predator, Kingdom of Heaven, Batman Begins, Poseidon…). I got headhunted to work in the games industry as my background in film was quite desirable to games companies to push the effects further.
