E3 2016 - Bethesda Showcase Impressions

/

One of the best things about E3 is always when new things are announced and seeing what is planned for the next year. Bethesda is on year two of having a show case and here is what I think about what they have announced.

  • Quake: Champions
    • Another remake of an old franchise, really?
    • ANOTHER REMAKE OF AN OLD FRANCHISE!!!
      • Yes, I can go both ways on this.
    • Multiple characters each with their own abilities
      • I would mock this, but I like games that do this
  • The Elder Scrolls: Legends
    • FTP Strategy CCG with a story told my a moth priest.
    • Another game to attempt micro-transaction money out of me.
  • Fallout 4
    • Contraptions
      • All sorts of toys!
    • Workshop
      • Build your own vault and experiment on people.
      • So much stuff that I probably won't get to! But this is awesome for those builders
    • Nuke-World
      • The wasteland vacation
  • Fallout Shelter
    • Quests, new enemies, new combat and PC version
    • Maybe I will start playing again?
  • Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
    • Coming to PS4 and Xbox One with mods
      • Because why not? It would be stupid not to do this.
  • Pre
    • Aliens? Main characters is taken over by aliens and is a test subject? Science Fiction though, and I love that.
    • Coming from the people that made Dishonored, so may be worth a shot.
  • Dishonored 2
    •  Has it really been 4 years since Dishonored came out?
    • It looks pretty
    • Play as Corvo or Emily to save the Empire and take it back.
    • They game looks cool, and the powers look just as abuse-able as before.
  • Doom
    • New gameplay modes and map building options, for free.
      • I can always approve of companies trying to continue support of a game for free after purchase.
    • Starting 6/13 the first level is free for the week of E3
  • Elder Scrolls Online
    • It is an MMO that is still running!
    • They are launching in Japan this year.
    • The Dark Brotherhood DLC for PS4 and Xbox One
      • Everyone loves a good assassination, and now console players gets to join PC players
    • One Tamerial
      • Auto level to wherever you are, so you can go where you want and play with who you want.
        • Will be interesting to see if this works given that it means there will be no "training" on how to use stuff after the tutorial.
  • VR
    • Doom and Fallout 4 will have VR
    • Fallout 4 will be ready for 2017 with the HTC Vive, and the console war starts anew.
