We. Are. Done. And Bethesda brought the big ones - we got Rage 2, a new Doom, some more details on Fallout 76. Oh, and Elder Scrolls 6. So there's that. Here's it all as it happened.
Our live coverage of this event has finished.
Only *stares at watch* two and a half hours to go!
иC Martin Robinson
Oh lord.
иC Martin Robinson
Seriously though do stick around I've already had a few beers and am planning on more and there's a very high chance you'll get to witness me losing my job, live and in real time here on you're a gamer dot com.
иC Martin Robinson
jswhitfield8: Could you imagine if Huw Edwards tweeted out "Just had a few beers. Time to do the 10 o'clock news. Tune in, I am steaming."?
Wouldn't happen, but there was that time he did the 6 o'clock news off his tits on ket. Was a good watch, that.
иC Martin Robinson
pelican_: Hello...anyone still here? :p
(hi)
иC Martin Robinson
pelican_: Martin. Another year and you get the late shift covering e3 conferences ;p.
It's honestly a highlight of my year.
иC Martin Robinson
Kami: Heads up; seems the video URL has been "removed" by the user.
Ta, have swapped it out with the Twitch stream.
иC Martin Robinson
45 minutes to go. We can do this.
иC Martin Robinson
There's a certain amount of cabin fever creeping into the office.
иC Martin Robinson
There's a Virtual Boy in the corner, screaming out incessant beeps.
иC Martin Robinson
Now everyone who's left in the office is just beeping the same song.
иC Martin Robinson
I've moved from beers to gin and tonic. My eyes hurt.
I have a banging headache and I can't see out of one eye.
иC Martin Robinson
I really don't know what to expect from this.
иC Martin Robinson
We know about Fallout 76 and I'm guessing we'll get a lot more detail.
иC Martin Robinson
Confirmation, perhaps, that it's an online survival game.
иC Martin Robinson
We'll see some Rage 2 gameplay, I'm sure.
иC Martin Robinson
The Prey DLC that's been on the cards for a while, maybe some Wolfenstein DLC too.
иC Martin Robinson
And... Starfield?
иC Martin Robinson
Beyond that I don't really have the foggiest.
иC Martin Robinson
Kami: I mean, it's late and Martin is "slightly" drunk but pretty sure that happened.
Yup, they did say that (and I'm not that drunk!) The rumours have pointed to that being the case, though, and both those things mentioned earlier don't count it out!
иC Martin Robinson
Would be lovely to get some more Switch announces tonight.
иC Martin Robinson
I honestly would be up for Rogue Warrior on the go.
иC Martin Robinson
There's an awful lot of Andrew WK in these Rage 2 trailers they're recapping and I'll be honest it's really not helping things right now.
иC Martin Robinson
misterdoctor: Rocksteady is making a Superman game. Not related, but it's late and nothing is related anymore.
If that happens I would die with happiness on the spot.
иC Martin Robinson
That's quite enough of the pre-show, let's get this thing up and running.
иC Martin Robinson
Also thanks to everyone who's stuck around for this tonight. You're all legends.
иC Martin Robinson
Thanks Martin
иC Paul Watson
That kind of felt like a life insurance advert but it was a nice message nevertheless. Bethesda is a company staffed by humans.
иC Martin Robinson
Pete Heinz is going to be our frontman for the night.
иC Martin Robinson
Having awful thoughts about Hines Salad Cream now and I knew that drinking before this was a mistake.
иC Martin Robinson
This year's theme, by the way, is 'Create'.
иC Martin Robinson
The screamers are out in force.
иC Martin Robinson
It's not quite an enthusiastic scream, though.
иC Martin Robinson
The high pitch has an edge of terror to it.
иC Martin Robinson
Rage 2 now tho.
иC Martin Robinson
Oh no.
иC Martin Robinson
This isn't Rage 2.
иC Martin Robinson
It's Andrew WK.
иC Martin Robinson
Oh no.
иC Martin Robinson
Oh no.
иC Martin Robinson
The cutaway to a bemused audience kind of made it all worthwhile.
иC Martin Robinson
There's nothing more beautiful than a completely immobile audience staring, frozen in apathy, at a high energy performance like this.
иC Martin Robinson
Some people are going pretty wild, to be fair, and are literally tapping their feet to this.
иC Martin Robinson
Just down at the front where the rowdy lot are. mind.
иC Martin Robinson
Why is Tim Willits kneeling?
иC Martin Robinson
Oh!
иC Martin Robinson
This is slightly awkward, but bless them, this is beautiful.
иC Martin Robinson
Onto some gameplay, thankfully.
иC Martin Robinson
This game is going to be good. Really good. It might take a while for that to come into focus, though.
иC Martin Robinson
It does look every bit as lovely as the original Rage, but with the added bonus of the freedom that an Avalanche game implies.
иC Martin Robinson
Kami: So, is anyone going to mention Mad Max? No?
I will! This looks like Mad Max. Mad Max was brilliant.
иC Martin Robinson
It is Doom 2016 with a bit of Mad Max and a little Bulletstorm and that's going to be just great thanks.
иC Martin Robinson
They're going strong on the obnoxious stuff though which isn't helping its cause too much.
иC Martin Robinson
Here's Elder Scrolls: Legends.
иC Martin Robinson
It's coming to Switch, PS4 and Xbox One, for your i.
иC Martin Robinson
Kami: There's a Switch game announcement, I guess.
Ha, yup rack it up.
иC Martin Robinson
And now Elder Scrolls Online.
иC Martin Robinson
This game has come a long, long way since launch.
иC Martin Robinson
This, though, seems like a weird victory lap rather than something that should be on during an E3 presser.
иC Martin Robinson
This is a strange conference so far, but I kind of like it. It's a throwback to 2009-era E3.
иC Martin Robinson
Tonnes of awkward moments, weird musical guests and pauses for applause.
иC Martin Robinson
It's all quite warming.
иC Martin Robinson
BaldGeordie: It'll be the G & T warming Martin
Ah, yeah it probably is that.
иC Martin Robinson
Was that a trailer for what came out last week?
иC Martin Robinson
But hey what's this.
иC Martin Robinson
Could it be.
иC Martin Robinson
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM
иC Martin Robinson
GODDAMN DOOM.
иC Martin Robinson
Hell on Earth.
иC Martin Robinson
Korlis: Is it just going to be DOOM 2: Hell on Earth?
Yes and I'm okay with that.
иC Martin Robinson
Or Doom Eternal, call it what you want.
иC Martin Robinson
It's more Doom and I am so, so up for that.
иC Martin Robinson
Let's please have a look at it in action.
иC Martin Robinson
Pretty please.
иC Martin Robinson
It's a proper sequel.
иC Martin Robinson
Hold up I just got wind of the time.
иC Martin Robinson
3am eternal.
иC Martin Robinson
This whole late night thing was just Bethesda setting up that perfect moment. Thanks pals.
иC Martin Robinson
Aaaannnnd we're not going to see the game in action - it's being saved for Quakecon in August.
иC Martin Robinson
That kind of sucks.
иC Martin Robinson
Preach.
иC Martin Robinson
And now onto Quake Champions.
иC Martin Robinson
That was Quake.
иC Martin Robinson
This is Prey.
иC Martin Robinson
I've had East 17's 'Stay Another Day' in my head all day and have been trying to wrangle Prey-relevant lyrics into it.
иC Martin Robinson
I'll spare you any of my efforts so far, but please do have a crack yourself.
иC Martin Robinson
This is a stealth drop - the new stuff you've just seen is available naaaaoooowww.
иC Martin Robinson
And a multiplayer mode which sounds kind of awesome, with players disguising themselves as mimics.
иC Martin Robinson
Wolfenstein time now - perhaps a DLC announce?
иC Martin Robinson
Wolfenstein is coming to Switch later this month, as you know.
иC Martin Robinson
And the next chapter of Wolfenstein, Young Blood, takes up the story of BJ's twin daughters.
иC Martin Robinson
And it's a co-op game.
иC Martin Robinson
Sounds more like a smaller spin-off than a standalone. And we're going to get to see it in action.
иC Martin Robinson
The former, I'd reckon.
иC Martin Robinson
Oh no we're not going to get to see it in action.
иC Martin Robinson
That's a trend, it would seem.
иC Martin Robinson
We're also getting two new VR experiences - one for Wolfenstein and one for Prey.
иC Martin Robinson
I'd kind of forgotten that Fallout 76 was part of this.
иC Martin Robinson
Here it comes. Take it away Todd Howard.
иC Martin Robinson
I just went for a whizz and I came back to a weird Jason Manford routine.
иC Martin Robinson
Is this still the comedy bit?
иC Martin Robinson
So many parts of this conference have felt like an April Fools or an extended Clickhole riff.
иC Martin Robinson
ytzulu: the site that puts puns under every article, is getting cranky about a comedy skit
Rumbled (sorry I'm being grumpy because it's very much past my bedtime)
иC Martin Robinson
This is the same trailer we saw at Microsoft earlier today.
иC Martin Robinson
Here we are, getting a proper look at Fallout 76 in action.
иC Martin Robinson
It's a much more detailed world, and it does look *gorgeous*.
иC Martin Robinson
This looks very much like a bonafide single-player Fallout, so maybe those rumours about it being an online-focussed game was wide of the mark.
иC Martin Robinson
Oh no they weren't.
иC Martin Robinson
You'll only be in a world with dozens of people at a time rather than 100s or 1000s.
иC Martin Robinson
Not sure he can take this routine to an arena, tbh, and I'm certainly not buying the DVD for my mum.
иC Martin Robinson
This actually looks like a load of fun - forming a band, raiding with friends.
иC Martin Robinson
And shooting the shit out of massive sloths. I'm in.
иC Martin Robinson
You can build settlements, and then see them be wrecked by monsters.
иC Martin Robinson
Also a photo mode.
иC Martin Robinson
Oh and you can nuke other players.
иC Martin Robinson
It might sound a bit, well, OP, but you do have to work with other players to get the nuclear code, which seems like a pretty neat mechanic.
иC Martin Robinson
Getting your buildings wiped out seems less neat, but I'm sure they've got a solution somehow for that.
иC Martin Robinson
There's a beta - called the 'Break-It-Early-Test-Application'.
иC Martin Robinson
They've become self aware!
иC Martin Robinson
We've gone straight from talk of a beta to collector's editions and oh god the apocalypse will be next.
иC Martin Robinson
So yeah there's a glow in the dark map and a helmet.
иC Martin Robinson
It's out on 14th November. That's a busy, busy month with Battlefield and Red Dead too.
иC Martin Robinson
A few little bonuses - Fallout Shelter is coming to PS4 and Switch naaaaoooow.
иC Martin Robinson
And now onto Starfield.
иC Martin Robinson
Or The Elder Scrolls Blades, as it's actually called.
иC Martin Robinson
It's an all-new Elder Scrolls game! But...
иC Martin Robinson
Beautiful.
иC Martin Robinson
You can play in portrait! Also I think Todd made a wanking joke and I'm just about ready to go to bed.
иC Martin Robinson
It's a console game *on a phone*! This really is the most 2009 conference I've seen since, well, 2009.
иC Martin Robinson
It's a free-to-play game, and it's coming out this autumn.
иC Martin Robinson
Also you can... pre-order this free-to-play game?
иC Martin Robinson
Now I'm confused.
иC Martin Robinson
Oh now here's one last thing which might be interesting.
иC Martin Robinson
This'll be Starfield, right? It's a next-gen game.
иC Martin Robinson
Next-gen is really here, right now. I wonder if Sony will 'fess up that half of the games it's showing tomorrow are next-gen too.
иC Martin Robinson
Also Starfield could be amazing.
иC Martin Robinson
But also good luck getting Elder Scrolls 6 anytime in the next decade.
иC Martin Robinson
Oh wait lol.
иC Martin Robinson
WET 2!
иC Martin Robinson
Nah here's Elder Scrolls 6 because today's had everything.
иC Martin Robinson
Wow.
иC Martin Robinson
You can't really end a show on a bigger note than that.
иC Martin Robinson
Elder Scrolls 6.
иC Martin Robinson
Hope it's more than just an SEO play Todd.
иC Martin Robinson
A lumpy show, but some amazing moments, and some great-looking games.
иC Martin Robinson
Also Andrew WK.
иC Martin Robinson
I really, truly, am done.
иC Martin Robinson
Thanks so much for joining us. I want to go to bed before the sun rises.
иC Martin Robinson
See you all tomorrow at 6pm for Square. Not sure how tomorrow can top today given all the big reveals, but let's see it try.
