E3 kicks off tonight with the Bethesda press conference. Josh and I plan to stream it and give live commentary. We expect Bethesda to discuss Fallout 4, Doom 4, and maybe even Dishonored 2.
You can watch the stream here: twitch.tv/spoilerwarningshow or try your luck with the embed below:
(Stream over. Since Twich refuses to archive anything, the embed has been removed, rather than turned into a broken link.)
If it works, we’ll upload the thing to YouTube. If not, we’ll just play another videogame.
EDIT: So that’s it! Thanks for watching everyone.
It didn’t really work out the way we wanted. People had to stream our channel AND the Bethesda channel, and the two were of course out of sync, and it was awkward and not ideal. I have no idea if it will be legal or feasible to have a proper archive version of the exchange. We’ll see.
We tried.
For those that missed it:
Doom 4 (Called simply “DOOM”) looks like a high-speed, high-damage, crowds-of-foes experience like the original, and not a slow-paced peek-a-boo in the dark like Doom3. Also a super-easy map editor. We were surprised and interested.
Dishonored 2: You can play as Emily? Sounds interesting. Too bad they still have Captain Boring as the outsider.
Battlecry: Meh.
Elder Scrolls Online: Huh. I guess they haven’t shut the game down yet. Good for them, I guess.
Fallout 4: Mixed reactions. YES you can be a woman. (Yay!) YES your protagonist is voiced. (Probably not going to be great.) YES it will be a “hunt down the people who killed your family”. (Yawn.) YES the interface is even more atrocious than before. (Sigh.) Some parts look stupid. (World-building.) Some parts look intriguing (crafting, base-building) and some parts are still up in the air. (Game feel.) Release in November. Fingers crossed.
