Press Start to Continue: Bethesda E3 Reactions

So E3 has officially started with one of the more quieter studios making waves at their first press conference. Last night Bethesda games came out swinging with Huge announcement after huge announcement. So this will be my reactions and maybe some of tweets from last night as well that best caught my reactions at the time. This is also going my only written response to the week everything else will be covered on the podcast this week. So lets get on with the Show.

DOOM
This time the world got its first look at DOOM and in word of wrestling fans I marked so hard. The game is fast paced and brutal with enough to remind fans of the original doom. Visuals on the game look amazing. the new game play mechanics of killing to heal and kill animations for both you at the enemies are amazing. Now outside of single player showed off multiplayer which manages to keep the same pace as single player. On top of both of these the game also introduces snapmap, a completely customisable map and game mode. Now the top chatter in the stream chats kept comparing this to Halo. Now while this is similar to Halo's  Forge it is also very different. If Snapmap is as advertise it will be more versatile then Forge. They also announced that your creations can be shared over the new Bathesda.net serves. Let's go to Hell!

Battlecry
Ok I'm not to sure how to feel about this game is it a MOBA or a factioned battle arena  we got a new look at and new faction and i'm having a hard time being interested in this game.

Dishonored
This is a game that I loved the story and premises but had a hard time playing because, I don't get games that say hey you can kill everything or go stealth when they just want to go stealth. the trailer for 2 looks beautiful bringing us back the that world  from the 1st game.  This time around we can play as either a male of female protagonist continuing the story from game one.  Now Dishonored 2 wont be out till spring you can get a up  rezed complete edition of Dishonored this fall.

ESO, Bathesda.net, Elder Scrolls Legends
That pretty much sums this up.

Fallout 4.
So news about this game broke two weeks ago and fans have been at the edge of their seats the whole time. So lets talk about what the fans got right. the story starts in pre-bomb boston. You play as either the husband or wife  in a small family running to get to the vault as the bombs drop. The game continues as you awaken 200 years later they only survivor of the vault. Major shown changes are many starting with the main characters will have voice actors. among the other changes is a layered full customisable armor and weapon system. On top of that you can build and customise your own settlements in the waste.  Taking a page from Lionhead we see more intuitive ways to interact with the dog. I have never been more excited for a game than I am for this one. On top of this the collector edition called the pipboy edition will come with a wearable pipboy that will house you cellphone. On top of this awesome cosplay accessory there are are also making an app that mimics the UI of the pipboy that will be able to work with your game. They then rocked the convention by giving us a release date of 11/10/15.

All in all I finished the show with this thought.
