The Elder Scrolls: Legends Revealed

Another new IP from Bethesda was revealed tonight at their press conference.  This minute and a half long teaser trailer announces The Elder Scrolls: Legends, a new CCG themed as everyone but Notch's favorite series about Scrolls.Check out the teaser below:

Usually this is where I say, :"For more on this game, check out this webpage of theirs." Instead, here's a screen shot from they official youtube video of the link to their site:
Don't fret, I will update this page once the link is fixed, or I find it elsewhere.

End of the Bethesda Conference: Fallout 4

Last up, Fallout 4. This press conference was rather short and underwhelming so far. Let’s see what we see from Fallout 4, the main reason we got a Bethesda Conference in the first place.
Promises of showing a lot, sounds good.
First up: concept art.
The game will start in the past, you will be able to play as both male and female, the design choices will also affect the way your baby looks.
Your dog seems to play an important role, since he can play fetch. The VAT is also back. The Pip-Boy will feature retro arcade games you can play, and the collectors edition will include a Pip-Boy in which you can put your smartphone and run a Pip-Boy app that seems to work as a second screen for the game.
The crafting system got major enhancements, with very extensive weapon and armor customization, and even includes a Tower defense with base building mini-game.

AND WE HAVE A RELEASE DATE!
November 10th, 2015

A F2P mobile game also got announced, called Fallout Shelter. The game is a base building RPG, all very casual and available later today on iOS (and maybe Android)

UPDATE: Dishonored 2

UPDATE: Emily will feature a completely different moveset than Corvo and even though both will feature the same campaign, both will have different interactions with the people and environment. Switching characters during the campaign is not possible and there is a story reason for that.
Release will be Spring 2016Dishonored 2 just got announced. 2 different characters are available to play with: Corvo or Emily. You will be able to finish the game without killing anyone. Little else is know, besides it being available for current gen and PC.

Also, Dishonored Definitive Edition is coming this fall, with enhanced graphics.

UPDATE: Doom (4)

UPDATE: Doom was just announced to be running in 1080p/60fps during the after show.Doom is first and my personal first impression: Meh. Second impression: Could be fun.
It looks very much like Rage on a spaceship/in Hell. Much faster than Doom 3, which I like, but nothing outstanding. Visuals are nice, but far from revolutionary like the previous ones. The killing animations are gory and fun, the shooting looks cool, but the overall art direction really isn’t matching my taste.
MP looks cool though, offering Co-op and Horde modes, fast arena action versus AND an easy to use map and game mode editor.

E3 2015 Bingo: Nintendo

June 16 will have Nintendo starting at 9am PT, followed by Square Enix (10am PT) and the PC Gaming Show will end this year’s E3 press conferences at 5pm PT.

Will Nintendo enter the VR game? Will we finally learn what the NX is all about? Will we get a new F-Zero? The only thing we know for sure: There will be Amiibos.

Bethesda will be up shortly, so remember: To get your personal Bingo card, go to bingo.twinstiq.com

E3 2015 Bingo: Sony

The 15th is a busy day. Besides Microsoft, we will also see press conferences from EA (1pm PT), the people behind Uplay (3pm PT) and Sony.
EA will probably have a really busy show, with the very likely appearance of Star Wars, Mirrors Edge, the new Need for Speed and their sports line-up (especially the FIFA franchise is supposed to have a really good year). Maybe we also see what Criterion has teased last E3, a new Battlefield, the hinted at Plants vs. Zombies game, and will EA Access finally make it to the PS4?

The Uplay folks, well, they will also have games, but nobody cares about them anymore.

So what about Sony? Hard to say. Uncharted is a very safe bet, so are more talks about Project Morpheus. Rumors about The Last Guardian are also all over the internet. Sony not holding a press conference at Gamescom could mean two things: Either Sony hasn’t much to announce, or they are planning to open up the floodgates at E3 and blow us away.

Whatever the case, here are the guesses by Trey, Cody, Billy and Me (Dr. S)

E3 2015 Bingo: Microsoft

After Bethesda’s press conference (June 14, 7pm PT) it’s Microsoft’s turn (June 15, 9:30 PT).

With the Hololens, a cooperation with Oculus, Windows 10 launching soon and a promised busy release schedule at the end of the year, we can expect quite a bit from that.

E3 2015 Bingo: Bethesda

E3 is close, very close. #1 on the press conference list is Bethesda, so let’s start the E3 Bingo with them.

But first things first: Big thanks to Zert for providing the card generator! This allows us something pretty cool: You can make your own randomly generated version of each card, allowing you to play with your friends. Granted, some of the guesses are a bit out there, so get an actual Bingo might be impossible. To make up for that, we actually have more than one card for each of the big ones.

Let’s start easy though. One card for Bethesda, made by Cody.
The rest will be revealed in the lead up to E3, but if you can’t wait, you can find all of them here.
