E3 is a dieing breed. It isn't like it used to
E3 absolutely needs to die. It's too stretched out and mostly bad now. Everyone wants to give their content attention by itself so just announce stuff when it's ready.

Never forget Link in Skyrim...well shit..
This was a VERY FUN presentation to watch.
The Evil Within 2 + Wolfenstein 2 coming out on October is fucking awesome!
I'm so stoked!
The Sony method is good, but it has the flaw of not giving additional context on what we're seeing, and this conference suffered because of this IMO.
Well, Devolver is in 10 minutesNo one is going to play for hours at a time in VR a rpg like Fallout. They needed something specifically made for VR in the Fallout world.
Stoked for Wolfenstein. Wished Quake announced for PS4. Evil within looked good.
Next up Sony...
Umm... yes?
Umm... yes?
I thought it was fine. Bethesda showed off more games that I'm interested in than Microsoft did.
Yes they are. There's literally posts on the last page asking why they even showed up at all, or why they didn't push their games in the other conferences.
Is this confirmed?Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is going to be a $30 standalone - not DLC.
Out of those 42 games shown compared to like 10 Bethesda showed, you thought the Bethesda games were better? Only games that were interesting to me were Wolfenstein and the Evil Within 2...Microsoft showcased Anthem, Shadow of War, AC Origins, Cuphead, Ori, Crackdown, Dragonball Fighters, etc...and those are way more than 2 games that interest me compared to the 2 bethesda showed.
Overall 0/10; total waste of 40 minutes, no reason they couldn't just put the last three trailers on YouTube or whatever.

Ok, I'm starting to worry about GAF. I'm a pretty critical guy, and call out BS when I see it (which in gaming happens a lot) but that was a pretty fine conference. I'd give it a 8.5/10. Seriously. Lighten up GAF.
Yes? That's what people are saying. Two games are not worthy of a conference, especially one at such a horrible time.

I absolutely agree with those statements.
What here at all deserved its own conference?
this is shaping to be one the worst E3's in recent memory.
already know Ubisoft ain't gone save this shit with whatever overdramtic multiplayer voice chat game they got this year and Ass Creed.
still have very high hopes for Sony. TLoU2, GoW and Red Dead in my veins
VR: Boring and uninformative presentation -- but let's take a moment to point out that Bethesda employed most of the main people involved in creating modern VR, said they didn't care about VR, let those people work on VR in their spare time, then when those people quit and wanted to work on VR full-time, Bethesda sued them for "stealing" their IP (that they didn't care about) and now they're trying to do VR launches of their year+ old content? Oh, and they also just recently C&Ded an indie team with a game name that contained the word Prey because ????? Bethesda is a shitty company
Oh, also Pete Hines is an awful presenter who can't read a teleprompter and isn't funny why exactly does Bethesda have an E3 show? While I'm at it, the music and graphics for the theme park interstitials are awful and don't fit their content at all.
Skyrim Morrowind: Yes, this is already out and we already know about it, but thanks for showing YouTube reaction videos of the CG announcement trailer????
Paid Mods 2: Electric Boogaloo: This looks worse than the paid mod system they tried to launch 5 years ago on Steam.
Expansion to Hearthstone: Who cares
Skyrim Switch: I guess it's neat but this is like the 10th release of a 6 or 7 year old game now?
Expansion to Dishonored 2: This CG trailer looked OK, I guess?
The Evil Within 2: Kinda hard to get a handle on what the game is, honestly, but the weird genre-switching Duran Duran cover was weird. I guess this didn't look bad?
Wolfenstein II: The New Order: The alternate reality Nazi 60s seems neat but The Man in the High Castle did all of this over the last two years (including the "people on LSD during a nazi occupation" thing)

Bethesda KILLED IT
New Dishonored, The Evil Within 2, and Wolfenstein II THIS YEAR.
Heck, I'll probably buy Skyrim Switch as well.
Such a great show!
These games are coming out this year. So this was an effective way of getting them on peoples radar.
For example, Wolfenstein 2 is now a game I will probably buy even though I haven't played the first one.
As an expensive ad, I think this conference worked in parts.

Why would you not do that as a youtube video rather than a conference with an (alleged) stage presenter? The audience didn't seem all that interested in anything anyway
