When id Software unleashed Doom on us in 2016, they kept it simple, calling it Doom instead of Doom 4, despite it being the fourth core game in the series and building on some of the lore established by previous titles. When the team unveiled the sequel, we were surprised to see it titled Doom Eternal instead of Doom 2. But there are a couple good reasons for the decision, it turns out...
Bethesda had a ton of stuff going on at E3 this year, and they couldn’t have fit everything into the show. They revealed that 2016’s incredible Doom is getting a sequel, but didn’t have anything to show just yet. Now, with Quakecon underway, Bethesda and id Software are ready to show off the game’s gory goings-on. In this sequel, things have gotten worse, and Hell itself has...
There are so many big games coming this fall, it’s hard to keep track of all of them. For a second, I forgot about Fallout 76 because I’m so focused on Spider-Man and Red Dead Redemption 2. But Fallout 76, Bethesda’s first triple-A venture into the multiplayer space, releases this November for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. If you’re looking for it on PC, though, you might have to do...
Bethesda usually has a hard time at E3. The company shows up with huge expectations for the next Fallout or Elder Scrolls game, and it has to somehow pace an entire hour and a half long show based around the fact that people really show up for only one reason. Not this year though. This year started off rough with a questionable performance by Andrew W.K. that made me want to scratch...
Sure, most gamers showed up at Bethesda’s E3 2o18 press conference to get a glimpse at the new Fallout game, but Bethesda decided to close the show with something even better… a look beyond what the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One can offer. Studio Head Todd Howard brought two teaser trailers for his studio’s two upcoming projects. This first game is Bethesda’s first new series in nearly 25...
Fallout Shelter, Bethesda’s surprise mobile hit announced three years ago at E3, is still going strong and is about to hit two entirely new audiences. Studio Head Todd Howard announced during its E3 2018 press conference announced that the fan-favorite game is now available for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch platforms. For the Nintendo Switch, both the Joy-Cons and touch screen...
Last year’s Prey was a critical darling that ran about as far as a standard FPS experience goes nowadays. It made a splash, speed-runners cracked it wide open, and it then disappeared before the end of the summer. Not much else to do with Prey now except play it again for funsies once in a while. No longer true. Developer Arkane Studios’ attempt to give the game longer legs is to...
Are you ready to go to Hell on Earth? Doom is coming back to pull us back in. Bethesda and Id Software didn’t have much to say when they revealed the game at Bethesda’s E3 show, other than that we’ll get more this year. Announcing DOOM Eternal, the sequel to DOOM! #BE3 pic.twitter.com/vy2AS02tbl— Bethesda (@bethesda) June 11, 2018 Doom leads Marty Stratton and Hugo Martin came on...
Bethesda launched its E3 2018 press conference with a… lively and totally necessary show from rock star Andrew W.K. and afterwards dove right in with the reveal of Rage 2. id Software Studio Director Tim Willits introduced the game as well as announced that it was working with Just Cause developer Avalanche Studio to develop the game. As expected, the game is an over-the-top open world...
E3 is here – that means more press conferences than you can shake a stick at. Because your arm would get tired before the first one even ended. Put the stick down. Real slow-like. Now, check out this schedule for all the shows happening between Saturday, June 9 and Tuesday, June 12: June 9 (Saturday) Electronic Arts kicks off the round of E3 press conferences early on...
