When
Bethesda announced that they would have a press conference at E3 this
year the speculations started to buzz like flies.
At
the forefront was Fallout 4 which has now been confirmed, it's even
in the Steam store... Other speculations were Dishonored 2, the new
Doom and Elder Scrolls 6.
It's
not Elder Scrolls 6. But it's everything else!
I
just sat down with a cup of coffee and had my mind blown. I'll link
the videos down below due to work safety concerns, but wow...
OK,
focus.
First
off, the rumor that you wouldn't be able to play as a female in
Fallout 4 is firmly squashed. You can indeed play female, and the
character creation is perhaps the best I have seen so far. It is
absolutely gorgeous. So just as I was coming down from that, I saw
the building video. Yes, you can create your own houses, even an
entire settlement complete with resources you can trade. Then you can
set up turrets to defend it all from raiders. But if you don't want
to build you don't have to. It's all up to you.
I'm
very excited. And it seems like it'll be out in November, but I'm not
100% on that yet.
Now,
Dishonored 2.
Oh
yeah, this is going to be good. You play as either familiar Corvo or
as Emily Kaldwin. Every one who played Dishonored 1 should know that
name, right?
It
seems that the Outsider has given her an entire new set of skills
unlike what Corvo has. And it looks good. The game looks so gorgeous
it belong in a museum. Not much to tell about the story yet, but damn
it, I'm already hooked.
Finally
Doom.
I
was a huge Doom fan back in the day. The action, the demons, the
setting. All of it spoke to me and I blew the ever-loving hell out of
those levels both in Doom 1 and 2. Doom 3 didn't excite me that much,
in fact I never finished it. Maybe I'm not really that into FPS's
anymore or maybe it was the lack of light that made Doom 3 so
uninspiring to me, but this new Doom does look good. It's slated for
release in 2016, so plenty of time.
E3
has only just begun, but I'm having a hard time thinking about what
the other companies are going to do to have even a chance against
Bethesda this year. All I can say is:
Shut
up and take my money already!

That's
all for now, I need to take some deep breaths and calm down. So until
next time, have a great week!
P.S.
If you didn't know, the Steam Summer Sale is on as we speak.
Cya!
