E3 2016: Watch the Bethesda Showcase Livestream here

This begins after EA Play at 6:15 PDT / 9:15 EDT.

81

We are grateful that the publishers decide to space out the press conferences and events at E3. There are two scheduled for today, with Bethesda starting its E3 showcase at 6:15 p.m. PDT / 9:15 EDT today. As with the EA Play event scheduled earlier, you can watch the livestream of all the unveils and announcements right here. 

We are expecting some interesting things from Bethesda at the show, including Dishonored 2, and possibly the reveals of Wolfenstein 2, The Evil Within 2, and a console remaster of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. We will probably get more the CCG Elder Scrolls Legends, and there have also been indications that Prey 2 will make its long-awaited debut. There are even hushed rumors of possibly a new Quake. Now THAT would be a welcome surprise.

We'll be watching the stream, too, so watch the news as the event unfolds. We will be busy.

      Typo:

      This begins after EA Play at 6:15 PDT / 9:15 PDT.

      The 9:15 should be the EDT or EST time.

      Really excited for this one. I'm hoping to see some killer dishonored stuff, and hopefully some new elder scrolls info.

          June 12, 2016 9:01 PM

          Tim Willits said in the post show interview he believed the three things he believed quake was about were:

          Arena style maps
          Fast gameplay
          ..and bringing something new with the characters and abilities to bring in new players

          He looked pretty worried and seemed somewhat defensive on that last one. Maybe it's the only way they could sell a game like this now.

          • reply
            June 12, 2016 10:16 PM

            Yikes. I think it could be fine even for die-hard Quake fans as long as they include modes and server settings to restrict or give everyone the same tools and abilities, if that's what they want. Include a way to play an actual classic Quake type FFA game as it were, with map pickups and all that. Where everyone is on the same level with the same tools and it all comes down to skill. Which is pretty much the fundamental draw of the best arena shooters.

            And don't farm it out to Halo devs.

              June 12, 2016 10:31 PM

              I'm not opposed to unique abilities. I'm prepared to accept classes.

              I will not, however, accept a quake game that does not include strafe jumping. It simply is not quake without it. Period. Full stop.

          I'm not sure what they're meant to do otherwise really. They could make a beautiful pure breed Quake game and chances are that no-one would play it. It seems pretty clear at this point that straight DM just won't gain any traction with players anymore.

      • reply
        June 12, 2016 7:45 PM

        Sadly, the utility of dedicated servers dropped dramatically with (ironically) the proliferation of consumer broadband. Every yahoo with a cable modem thinks they can run a server, but most don't have the upload bandwidth. Plus, back in the day, if you had access to the bandwidth and knowledge to do it you probably weren't an idiot.

      Got a real strong feeling that the studios are kinda out of content this year. EA was almost 0 game announcements and Bethesda not really revealing much either.

        With consoles about to go into their .5 iterations, everything is officially in limbo.

          I would say it's a reduced emphasis of E3 effect.

            This. Most publishers showed their hands over the past two to three weeks.

          Yeah I figured the hardware might overshadow the software. Guess I'll wait till Tuesday for some indie games being show in Twitch.

            yah I think this mid-cycle refresh likely delayed quite a few games... especially if some games will run on both.

      I did a face>palm when I heard the first doom dlc will be 3 new multiplayer maps.

      How can they not understand that putting maps in DLC just reduces the player base even more than it already is? And it's BAD at the moment.

      Also, Overquake. I was excited until I realized each one is a "class". Bummer.

        Wait, what's the use on PC though? Doesn't it already have all the special effects included in this? I thought this was just a console rehash?

          Looking at the screenshots I think there are still some significant graphical upgrades.

              It was what they showed in the video. They've definitely got stuff going on that wasn't in the original game.

          The base game no.. Modded added some features. But this looks like a full update to the game engine.. Lilely DX11/12?? The scenes they showed looked better than the Modded Skyrim I had when I was playing it

        I guess I don't get it, they are throwing a bunch of mods together and re-releasing it?

        If I have 40+ Skyrim enhancement mods already starting with 2k textures is this something I need to get?

        I mean, right now Skyrim looks amazing on my PC.

          Probably not. I never got enough of those mods working together personally, so I'm all over an official upgrade.

      No one posted Qverwatch yet in the Quake/Overwatch subthread? For shame!
