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.
23:01 pm UTC Only *stares at watch* two and a half hours to go!– Martin Robinson
23:01 pm UTC Oh lord.– Martin Robinson
23:02 pm UTC 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.– Martin Robinson
23:30 pm UTCjswhitfield8: 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.
– Martin Robinson
00:18 am UTCpelican_: Hello...anyone still here? :p
(hi)
– Martin Robinson
00:20 am UTCpelican_: Martin. Another year and you get the late shift covering e3 conferences ;p.
It's honestly a highlight of my year.
– Martin Robinson
00:47 am UTCKami: Heads up; seems the video URL has been "removed" by the user.
Ta, have swapped it out with the Twitch stream.
– Martin Robinson
00:47 am UTC 45 minutes to go. We can do this.– Martin Robinson
00:48 am UTC There's a certain amount of cabin fever creeping into the office.– Martin Robinson
00:48 am UTC There's a Virtual Boy in the corner, screaming out incessant beeps.– Martin Robinson
00:49 am UTC Now everyone who's left in the office is just beeping the same song.– Martin Robinson
00:49 am UTC I've moved from beers to gin and tonic. My eyes hurt.– Martin Robinson
00:49 am UTC But it's okay. We can do this.– Martin Robinson
00:51 am UTC This is our E3 in Brighton right now.– Martin Robinson
01:09 am UTC Right, hi, hello, I'm here.– Martin Robinson
01:10 am UTC I have a banging headache and I can't see out of one eye.– Martin Robinson
01:10 am UTC I really don't know what to expect from this.– Martin Robinson
01:10 am UTC We know about Fallout 76 and I'm guessing we'll get a lot more detail.– Martin Robinson
01:10 am UTC Confirmation, perhaps, that it's an online survival game.– Martin Robinson
01:11 am UTC We'll see some Rage 2 gameplay, I'm sure.– Martin Robinson
01:11 am UTC The Prey DLC that's been on the cards for a while, maybe some Wolfenstein DLC too.– Martin Robinson
01:11 am UTC And... Starfield?– Martin Robinson
01:13 am UTC Beyond that I don't really have the foggiest.– Martin Robinson
01:13 am UTCKami: 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!
– Martin Robinson
01:21 am UTC Would be lovely to get some more Switch announces tonight.– Martin Robinson
01:22 am UTC I honestly would be up for Rogue Warrior on the go.– Martin Robinson
01:25 am UTC 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.– Martin Robinson
01:27 am UTCmisterdoctor: 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.
– Martin Robinson
01:29 am UTC That's quite enough of the pre-show, let's get this thing up and running.– Martin Robinson
01:29 am UTC Also thanks to everyone who's stuck around for this tonight. You're all legends.– Martin Robinson
01:32 am UTC Thanks Martin– Paul Watson
01:33 am UTC That kind of felt like a life insurance advert but it was a nice message nevertheless. Bethesda is a company staffed by humans.– Martin Robinson
01:34 am UTC Pete Heinz is going to be our frontman for the night.– Martin Robinson
01:34 am UTC Having awful thoughts about Hines Salad Cream now and I knew that drinking before this was a mistake.– Martin Robinson
01:34 am UTC This year's theme, by the way, is 'Create'.– Martin Robinson
01:35 am UTC The screamers are out in force.– Martin Robinson
01:35 am UTC It's not quite an enthusiastic scream, though.– Martin Robinson
01:36 am UTC The high pitch has an edge of terror to it.– Martin Robinson
01:36 am UTC Rage 2 now tho.– Martin Robinson
01:36 am UTC Oh no.– Martin Robinson
01:36 am UTC This isn't Rage 2.– Martin Robinson
01:37 am UTC It's Andrew WK.– Martin Robinson
01:37 am UTC Oh no.– Martin Robinson
01:37 am UTC Oh no.– Martin Robinson
01:38 am UTC The cutaway to a bemused audience kind of made it all worthwhile.– Martin Robinson
01:39 am UTC There's nothing more beautiful than a completely immobile audience staring, frozen in apathy, at a high energy performance like this.– Martin Robinson
01:39 am UTC Some people are going pretty wild, to be fair, and are literally tapping their feet to this.– Martin Robinson
01:40 am UTC Just down at the front where the rowdy lot are. mind.– Martin Robinson
01:40 am UTC Why is Tim Willits kneeling?– Martin Robinson
01:40 am UTC Oh!– Martin Robinson
01:42 am UTC This is slightly awkward, but bless them, this is beautiful.– Martin Robinson
01:43 am UTC Onto some gameplay, thankfully.– Martin Robinson
01:44 am UTC This game is going to be good. Really good. It might take a while for that to come into focus, though.– Martin Robinson
01:45 am UTC It does look every bit as lovely as the original Rage, but with the added bonus of the freedom that an Avalanche game implies.– Martin Robinson
01:46 am UTCKami: So, is anyone going to mention Mad Max? No?
I will! This looks like Mad Max. Mad Max was brilliant.
– Martin Robinson
01:46 am UTC It is Doom 2016 with a bit of Mad Max and a little Bulletstorm and that's going to be just great thanks.– Martin Robinson
01:50 am UTC They're going strong on the obnoxious stuff though which isn't helping its cause too much.– Martin Robinson
01:50 am UTC Here's Elder Scrolls: Legends.– Martin Robinson
01:51 am UTC It's coming to Switch, PS4 and Xbox One, for your i.– Martin Robinson
01:51 am UTCKami: There's a Switch game announcement, I guess.
Ha, yup rack it up.
– Martin Robinson
01:52 am UTC And now Elder Scrolls Online.– Martin Robinson
01:53 am UTC This game has come a long, long way since launch.– Martin Robinson
01:54 am UTC This, though, seems like a weird victory lap rather than something that should be on during an E3 presser.– Martin Robinson
01:55 am UTC This is a strange conference so far, but I kind of like it. It's a throwback to 2009-era E3.– Martin Robinson
01:55 am UTC Tonnes of awkward moments, weird musical guests and pauses for applause.– Martin Robinson
01:55 am UTC It's all quite warming.– Martin Robinson
01:57 am UTCBaldGeordie: It'll be the G & T warming Martin
Ah, yeah it probably is that.
– Martin Robinson
01:58 am UTC Was that a trailer for what came out last week?– Martin Robinson
01:59 am UTC But hey what's this.– Martin Robinson
01:59 am UTC Could it be.– Martin Robinson
01:59 am UTC DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM– Martin Robinson
01:59 am UTC GODDAMN DOOM.– Martin Robinson
01:59 am UTC Hell on Earth.– Martin Robinson
01:59 am UTCKorlis: Is it just going to be DOOM 2: Hell on Earth?
Yes and I'm okay with that.
– Martin Robinson
02:00 am UTC Or Doom Eternal, call it what you want.– Martin Robinson
02:00 am UTC It's more Doom and I am so, so up for that.– Martin Robinson
02:00 am UTC Let's please have a look at it in action.– Martin Robinson
02:00 am UTC Pretty please.– Martin Robinson
02:00 am UTC It's a proper sequel.– Martin Robinson
02:01 am UTC Hold up I just got wind of the time.– Martin Robinson
02:01 am UTC 3am eternal.– Martin Robinson
02:01 am UTC This whole late night thing was just Bethesda setting up that perfect moment. Thanks pals.– Martin Robinson
02:02 am UTC Aaaannnnd we're not going to see the game in action - it's being saved for Quakecon in August.– Martin Robinson
02:02 am UTC That kind of sucks.– Martin Robinson
02:02 am UTC Preach.– Martin Robinson
02:02 am UTC And now onto Quake Champions.– Martin Robinson
02:07 am UTC That was Quake.– Martin Robinson
02:07 am UTC This is Prey.– Martin Robinson
02:08 am UTC 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.– Martin Robinson
02:09 am UTC I'll spare you any of my efforts so far, but please do have a crack yourself.– Martin Robinson
02:11 am UTC This is a stealth drop - the new stuff you've just seen is available naaaaoooowww.– Martin Robinson
02:11 am UTC And a multiplayer mode which sounds kind of awesome, with players disguising themselves as mimics.– Martin Robinson
02:12 am UTC Wolfenstein time now - perhaps a DLC announce?– Martin Robinson
02:13 am UTC Wolfenstein is coming to Switch later this month, as you know.– Martin Robinson
02:13 am UTC And the next chapter of Wolfenstein, Young Blood, takes up the story of BJ's twin daughters.– Martin Robinson
02:13 am UTC And it's a co-op game.– Martin Robinson
02:14 am UTC Sounds more like a smaller spin-off than a standalone. And we're going to get to see it in action.– Martin Robinson
02:14 am UTC The former, I'd reckon.– Martin Robinson
02:15 am UTC Oh no we're not going to get to see it in action.– Martin Robinson
02:15 am UTC That's a trend, it would seem.– Martin Robinson
02:16 am UTC We're also getting two new VR experiences - one for Wolfenstein and one for Prey.– Martin Robinson
02:17 am UTC I'd kind of forgotten that Fallout 76 was part of this.– Martin Robinson
02:17 am UTC Here it comes. Take it away Todd Howard.– Martin Robinson
02:19 am UTC I just went for a whizz and I came back to a weird Jason Manford routine.– Martin Robinson
02:21 am UTC Is this still the comedy bit?– Martin Robinson
02:22 am UTC So many parts of this conference have felt like an April Fools or an extended Clickhole riff.– Martin Robinson
02:23 am UTCytzulu: 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)
– Martin Robinson
02:24 am UTC This is the same trailer we saw at Microsoft earlier today.– Martin Robinson
02:26 am UTC Here we are, getting a proper look at Fallout 76 in action.– Martin Robinson
02:28 am UTC It's a much more detailed world, and it does look *gorgeous*.– Martin Robinson
02:29 am UTC 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.– Martin Robinson
02:29 am UTC Oh no they weren't.– Martin Robinson
02:32 am UTC You'll only be in a world with dozens of people at a time rather than 100s or 1000s.– Martin Robinson
02:32 am UTC Not sure he can take this routine to an arena, tbh, and I'm certainly not buying the DVD for my mum.– Martin Robinson
02:34 am UTC This actually looks like a load of fun - forming a band, raiding with friends.– Martin Robinson
02:34 am UTC And shooting the shit out of massive sloths. I'm in.– Martin Robinson
02:36 am UTC You can build settlements, and then see them be wrecked by monsters.– Martin Robinson
02:36 am UTC Also a photo mode.– Martin Robinson
02:37 am UTC Oh and you can nuke other players.– Martin Robinson
02:39 am UTC 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.– Martin Robinson
02:39 am UTC Getting your buildings wiped out seems less neat, but I'm sure they've got a solution somehow for that.– Martin Robinson
02:40 am UTC There's a beta - called the 'Break-It-Early-Test-Application'.– Martin Robinson
02:40 am UTC They've become self aware!– Martin Robinson
02:42 am UTC We've gone straight from talk of a beta to collector's editions and oh god the apocalypse will be next.– Martin Robinson
02:42 am UTC So yeah there's a glow in the dark map and a helmet.– Martin Robinson
02:42 am UTC It's out on 14th November. That's a busy, busy month with Battlefield and Red Dead too.– Martin Robinson
02:43 am UTC A few little bonuses - Fallout Shelter is coming to PS4 and Switch naaaaoooow.– Martin Robinson
02:44 am UTC And now onto Starfield.– Martin Robinson
02:45 am UTC Or The Elder Scrolls Blades, as it's actually called.– Martin Robinson
02:45 am UTC It's an all-new Elder Scrolls game! But...– Martin Robinson
02:46 am UTC Beautiful.– Martin Robinson
02:47 am UTC You can play in portrait! Also I think Todd made a wanking joke and I'm just about ready to go to bed.– Martin Robinson
02:47 am UTC It's a console game *on a phone*! This really is the most 2009 conference I've seen since, well, 2009.– Martin Robinson
02:50 am UTC It's a free-to-play game, and it's coming out this autumn.– Martin Robinson
02:50 am UTC Also you can... pre-order this free-to-play game?– Martin Robinson
02:50 am UTC Now I'm confused.– Martin Robinson
02:52 am UTC Oh now here's one last thing which might be interesting.– Martin Robinson
02:52 am UTC This'll be Starfield, right? It's a next-gen game.– Martin Robinson
02:53 am UTC 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.– Martin Robinson
02:53 am UTC Also Starfield could be amazing.– Martin Robinson
02:54 am UTC But also good luck getting Elder Scrolls 6 anytime in the next decade.– Martin Robinson
02:54 am UTC Oh wait lol.– Martin Robinson
02:54 am UTC WET 2!– Martin Robinson
02:54 am UTC Nah here's Elder Scrolls 6 because today's had everything.– Martin Robinson
02:54 am UTC Wow.– Martin Robinson
02:55 am UTC You can't really end a show on a bigger note than that.– Martin Robinson
02:55 am UTC Elder Scrolls 6.– Martin Robinson
02:55 am UTC Hope it's more than just an SEO play Todd.– Martin Robinson
02:55 am UTC A lumpy show, but some amazing moments, and some great-looking games.– Martin Robinson
02:56 am UTC Also Andrew WK.– Martin Robinson
02:56 am UTC I really, truly, am done.– Martin Robinson
02:57 am UTC Thanks so much for joining us. I want to go to bed before the sun rises.– Martin Robinson
03:00 am UTC 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.– Martin Robinson
