Giant Bomb @ E3 2016 | WEED3

Still dont understand why Bethesda had a press conference this year. They really had noting to show.

Didn't stop EA.

I reality though, I thought it was quite good. There was a confidence in their products, and it was great to see that extended footage of Dishonored.
 
Hmmm... New Colossus?

Here's the real news: it lists the date for "BE3" as May 12.
 
Skate4 announced at SE's ATR tomorrow night.

I think they had enough, even if most of it was Dishonored 2. Nice to see Quake show up though. Plus, they had about twice the amount of stuff over EA.

Now I want to see celebs play Quake Champions live.
 
did gears have a time-travelling stare through a little window to the past/future mechanic? I don't know what killswitch is and I'm not going to dignify it with a response

Killswitch was pretty much proto Gears with all of the cover stuff/blindfire, etc that would define the latter .

Here's the real news: it lists the date for "BE3" as May 12.

BE3 is the name of their conference
 
Just realized why I've been so underwhelmed by the press conferences so far...

Not a single new AAA IP announced between the two.
 
Giant Bomb is such a blessing. Real good dudes that are entertaining. Really brought my spirits up a bit with all of the bad news going on in the world.
 
Dishonored 2 has piqued my interest more than anything else I've personally seen at E3 so far, but that's mostly because I felt Bethesda did a good job showcasing it -- recapped last year's trailer for a cinematic look, did a cool technical flyby of the art in-engine, did a pretty extended gameplay sequence and concisely explained all the mechanics that were being shown. There's other games I WANT TO BE more excited about that have been shown so far, like Mass Effect Andromeda or several of EA's Star Wars titles, but it was all treated like fluff so far.

That said, also liked the art direction and mood shown in that cinematic trailer for Prey, loved the Doom segment's eagerness to please and seemingly earnest gratitude for being a breakaway hit last month, and just kind of the surprise of a new Quake announcement. I didn't think Bethesda would surprise me quite that much, and while I definitely think it wasn't a mindblowing conference, it felt a lot more genuine and worthwhile to me than EA's earlier this afternoon.
