E3 2018: Bethesda Showcase

Tune in to the Bethesda E3 Showcase for the inside scoop on Fallout 76 and RAGE 2, plus a few surprises.

[pwnmaster3000]

This is the conference I’m most excited about. Please tell me new elder scrolls. I’ve played Skyrim to many times now lol.

[PhantomS42]

If they can announce a new Fallout game a few years after the last one there are no more excuses for them as to why they haven't made TESVI yet.

[pwnmaster3000]

I’ve been reading some of the elder scrolls lore and I really hope it’s in valenwood. It just sounds really interesting to me.

[adonisisfree]

How could they possibly have the time and the resources to develop fallout 76, “starfeild” , and a new elder scrolls game? Skyrim is too popular. We won’t see an elder scrolls for another year atleast

[thorstein]

And there you have it, right at the end! YES!

[morganfell]

Elder Scolls VI for next gen. The perfect punctuation to a really funny, relaxed, not overly polished conference. When Howard said he had read online that there were bugs in Bethesda games I lost it ha ha.

[lociefer]

BUT have you played it on your hairdryer yet ? No? Look forward for more ports then xD

[Christopher]

I'm going to just add a fan to my toaster that does currently play Skyrim. Job done.

[notachance]

man, if there's no starfield or new elder scrolls announcement this and yesterday's EA conference will be competing for the most boring show of E3

[notachance]

wow they actually show both of them lol, even if it's just the logo

[pwnmaster3000]

Bruh I think this new fault out game looks so sick. Ever thing he said hit me in a good way. I always wondered how the first people to open the vault reacted to the world and I always wonder how Bethesda game would be like if it was multiplayer. This game is gonna be sick.

[rainslacker]

The skyrim on new devices was pretty amusing.

That's one thing I like about their conferences. They always have some good humor to them, and they've done really well this conference....at least after that overly long live band thing at the beginning.

[MasterCornholio]

There's a new elder scrolls game. I don't like it though.

Edit: NVM glad to see a new Elder Scrolls game.

[pwnmaster3000]

They won today’s e3 for me. Idc if it’s only teasers. So hype for the new fallout, new ip, and elderscrolls

[Aceman18]

I'd give it a C-

[lociefer]

Cmoooon baby doom 2

[AnubisG]

Doom 2 was there...well it's not called 2 but a sequel for sure.

[lociefer]

Man bethesda just killed it !

[luckytrouble]

With Fallout 76 announced already, I’m curious what announcement they may have in store that could dwarf their biggest Fallout game to date. Could we get an Elder Scrolls announcement? It’s more than time for a brand new iteration, especially since they’ve run out of places to port Skyrim.

[porkChop]

I honestly hope we see Starfield. A Bethesda RPG where we can explore space and travel from planet to planet. There's just so much potential there. Especially with Mass Effect on hold for now.

[ILostMyMind]

Like really show the game...

[salmonade]

Why would anyone watch on Mixer?

[porkChop]

The video quality on Mixer is far superior to Twitch and YouTube.

[Christopher]

Great quality and sometimes you can earn stuff just by watching specific streams. Essentially that's Microsoft's way of encouraging people to use it, but this is the only time I'd use it anyway, so at least use something that's good and might earn me something extra.

But, not a lot use it.

Microsoft Conference had almost 6m views on Mixer.

Bethesda is sitting at currently only 2.5k people watching on mixer. I'm guessing Twitch is where most people are.

[salmonade]

That's sounds pretty good. I'm sure it will only grow

[Relientk77]

Hoping Bethesda has a good showcase

Let's see the games

[BlackIceJoe]

I'm hoping for a new Commander Keen. It is about time a new one comes out.

[Chaosdreams]

Lol @ the Walmart call out. "Best known for their low prices and, the ability to keep a secret."

[morganfell]

Ha ha yeah at least they had a sense of humor about it. I like their show so far. It feels less formal.

[rainslacker]

Lot a good humor in their show. The beta name and mentioning that he read about their games having bugs.

[luckytrouble]

Oh my god. That Walmart joke was savage lol

[SegaGamer]

Oh, just get on with it Bethesda. Dragged out opening, talking and now Andrew W.K

[annoyedgamer]

lol

[Christopher]

Rock Band on stage. Umm... Ubisoft?

[MasterCornholio]

I hated the music.

[Christopher]

I didn't like it in the trailer. Didn't like it here. But, the game looks entertaining.

[Lighter9]

Andrew WK - Mute

[SovereignSnaKe]

~I had no idea Andrew W.K. was such a talented piano player.

[hiawa23]

Rage 2, can't wait. Still hoping Rage 1 gets the Xbox1X 4k enhancement.

[Christopher]

Oof, good luck. That game is 'hard' to achieve technically on PC, I can only imagine on consoles.

[Smokehouse]

15 minutes in and still haven’t seen a game.

[I_am_Batman]

Rage 2 looks insane.

[SegaGamer]

I doubt the game will actually play like that though. That was just footage shown off to promote the game, it pretty much said that at the start of the video.

[SovereignSnaKe]

Alright, I have to admit, Rage 2 looks like a lot of mf'ing fun! Like Borderlands (for current gen) + Wolfenstein + Doom.

[I_am_Batman]

Kinda killed the pace after Rage 2.

[MasterCornholio]

DOOM Eternal

Hell yeah!!!!!

[luckytrouble]

Lots of fluff between the big announcements. It’s one of the reasons the question comes up whether Bethesda really needs their own showcase or not. They’re definitely growing and may really be able to justify it in a few more years, but a good chunk of their show so far being plugs for released games is kind of blah.

[Smokehouse]

You can tell they were trying to stretch out the conference. Or maybe it just seems that way after the MS show.

[Christopher]

And yet people complained about third-parties being at MS conference instead of having their own because they made the MS show look too fluffed up...

No winning.

I thought it was fine considering it's a later time, smaller stage, and not intended to reach the same audience as the big ones.

[outsider1624]

People will always find a way to complain. You don't do it, complain. You do it, complain again.

[Lighter9]

Quake Champions 😴

[leemo19]

New Doom heck yes!!!!!!

[PhantomS42]

This press conference is terrible, almost as bad as EA...almost

[SegaGamer]

It was worse for me. I was mildly interested in Doom, but we never actually seen anything, so other than that.......nothing. So much talking, so dragged out, like EA they dedicated time to a terrible mobile game that nobody asked for or wanted. Fallout is online only, so that has disappointed fans of the series. Time dedicated to old games, and some of their games are looking really dated now.

The two announcements at the end are not coming out in years, the only reason they shown it today is because they knew it was a poor conference so had to give fans something to get excited about for the future.

EA was woeful, but they at least had Unravel 2 that interested me.....i guess that's something XD

[DaleCooper]

I have to agree. It's pretty awful. Fallout online, and a free to play mobile game. Meh. The Star Field tease was a joke too.

[arkard]

I kind of want Skyrim Alexa version now

[rainslacker]

That was pretty good I thought. Kind of reminded me of those old text adventures. I know it was a joke, but the "trailer" was amusing. I like that they were poking fun at themselves through the whole show.

[Sgt_Slaughter]

This conference is good but the humor is helping pace it because of the smaller content base.

[SegaGamer]

Fallout Online.........yawn.

[leemo19]

Online only for FO76, that will be a mistake.

[morganfell]

Todd Howard is killing it. This is the most honest E3 presser in a long time.

[DVAcme]

Todd is a class act. You can tell he genuinely loves the business and is legitimately passionate about the games he makes.

[morganfell]

He has a wonderful grasp of "give you want you want" rather than "we're smarty pants developers and we'll give you what we want you to have." The only thing I didn't get that I wanted was a Quake II sequel.

[SegaGamer]

A terrible conference overall, but they saved themselves with those announcements at the end. I'm sure those two announcements are well off though and they probably wouldn't have revealed them today if everything before it wasn't so mediocre.

[arkard]

I know, Todd said next Gen release so I imagine for next Xbox and ps5

[I_am_Batman]

Well even if they didn't announce them we'd still know that they are working on a new TES. Starfield was rumored for some time now so it wasn't a huge surprise either. Since they had nothing to show except short teasers which basically only functioned as confirmation that they are working on those titles I don't want to give them too much props for them. It's still cool to have the official confirmation though.

[Christopher]

They specifically said they were far off... Are we complaining when they're honest with us now?

[SegaGamer]

No, i'm complaining because it was a boring waste of time. Them saying Elder Scrolls is coming next gen means nothing, for all we know, they may not even be developing the game at all. They may have just said that to shut people up going on about it.

The show was crap. I don't know how Bethesda can be praised and EA criticised, they were both awful conferences. The only difference was that at least EA had a bit of diversity about the games they were showing, Bethesda were just showing off the games from pretty much the same genre because that is all they have.

[Christopher]

Well, that's your opinion and all, but complaining about things being far off when they said they are rather than just saying you didn't like what they showed seems awfully overly critical.

[YodaCracker]

Ranking the conferences so far:

1. Microsoft
2. Bethesda
.
.
.
.
.
3. EA

[I_am_Batman]

Microsoft: 8/10
Bethesda: 6/10
EA: 4/10

[I_am_Batman]

Well they had some good stuff even though the conference was definitely too long for what they had to show. I'm hyped about Rage 2 new Doom and Wolfenstein . Also first next gen games announced (Starfield, TES VI). If they would've cut all the filler and made it 30-40 minutes shorter it would've been a great conference. As it is I'd give it a 6/10.

[DVAcme]

Bethesda knocked it out of the goddamn park. Loads of exciting new games, Fallout 76 looks incredible and they confirmed both Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6 for next gen. This will be the show to beat this year.

[SegaGamer]

Confirming games for next gen.......seeing as we have no idea when next gen is, that could be any time. This is just them covering their ass's because it was such a poor conference. For all we know, those games won't be coming for another 6 years.

[MONOLITHICIDE]

Poor? They showed games and teased the future. Spoiled much

[LOCO209]

Elder Scrolls VI Yes! Lots of games coming...

[JLynn943]

I'm happy with what Fallout 76 looks to be. The ability to play it solo or with friends is nice. The C.A.M.P. idea is cool, too.

[Mylove1516]

A new Elderscrolls and a new ip starfield which is probably a sci fi rpg. I was getting a little mad about all the dlc and making 76 an always online MMO. Also doom 2 was teased. Doom eternal.

[optimus]

Somebody tell Bethesda to hire a spokesperson, host, comedian, because those presenters were struggling (Holds for applause). Glad they spend most of their time making games and not at speaking engagements (cue for applause). "Here at Bethesda we love working on games, just not speaking about them." (Beg for applause)...

They would have had better reactions if they didn't show the game logos before actually announcing them....I'm intrigued by rage 2 but I'm not a fan of an "always online" game so I'll likely pass on fallout 76.

[Platformgamer]

pretty boring conference, the absence of the evil within is hard to swallow and the majority of the games doesn't interests me...
but doom eternal and wolfenstein youngblood seems cool i guess.
also, the skyrim joke trailer was awesome ahah

[optimus]

If you're talking about the Alexa game it wasn't a joke. It's an actual game...
