Creative director Tim Willits had this to say to Gamespot: "It's everything from input sampling of the mouse to making sure that your monitor refresh rate is fast enough. Because even with Quake Live, we have found throughout the years that going from 30 to 60 is huge, but even 60 to 120--is noticeable.

QuakeCon 2015 is currently a thing that is happening, and Bethesda has a pretty big presence at the show, with DOOM and Fallout 4 their major talking points.
