E3 2015 DOOM Multiplayer Goes Old-School on PS4
Arena action
How do you reboot a franchise like DOOM? Well, you make it familiar – but amplify everything so it feels fresh again. The single player footage for id Software's first-person reboot literally left this author slack-jawed earlier today – and the multiplayer ain't looking half bad either. While the developer was a little less...

It was a rather brief announcement, however, as tonight's focus was clearly on new games...
E3 2015 Fallout 4's Insane Crafting System Looks Like a Very Next-Gen Feature
Handyman
No one quite saw this coming: Fallout 4 will feature an absolutely ridiculous crafting system that covers everything from weapons and power armour, to player homes and even settlements.

Needless to say, it looks a heck of a lot like Fallout, only it's been beefed up for all of your next-gen...
E3 2015 DOOM Snapmap Lets You Create and Share Your Own Personal Hell
LittleBigDOOM
Bethesda opened its inaugural E3 press conference with a rather impressive, and astoundingly gory, demo of its reboot of the DOOM franchise. Arguably one of the most exciting announcements, though, was of a feature which allows you to create and share your own maps and levels. Titled Snapmap, this new mode gives you what appears to be...

The time is now
The busiest event in gaming is upon us, and this year, it's arguably busier than ever.

E3 2015 Bethesda Bizarrely Hints at Dishonored 2 on Accidental Stream
Corvo, blimey
Alright, alright – this is getting ridiculous now.

This Bethesda balls-up will go down as one of the...

Fit for the Dragonborn
Ah, the whims of the rich. The Elder Scrolls mega fan and DC Comics artist Tyler Kirkham spent $50,000 turning his home's basement into a place of worship for all things Elder Scrolls.

Plus, it's Sophie Monk
Actress, singer, and model Sophie Monk is now free to add, er, player of The Elder Scrolls Online to her CV, as she stars in the game's newest live action trailer.

News Cringe Yourself into Oblivion with The Elder Scrolls Online's Worst Trailer
"Fireball to the face"

News Fallout 4 Would 'Never Work' on the PS3, Says Bethesda
Wastelands will only arrive on new-gen systems
Much like a ghoul, Fallout 4 ain't exactly a looker. The game's debut trailer was exciting, no doubt about that – but we can probably safely assume that it's not going to be a graphical masterpiece. That's okay, though, because it'll likely be gigantic, crammed with hidden areas and secrets to find...
Retrospective Returning to the Wastelands of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas
Back to nothing
The Fallout franchise has been hanging around like an irradiated ghoul since 1997, but it was Bethesda Game Studios and the memorable Fallout 3 that cemented the series as a mainstream property.

News Fallout 4's Gameplay Reveal Goes Nuclear on PS4
Megaton
Fallout 4's first trailer has been revealed, and it's a blast, to say the least. Showcasing what looks like in-engine footage, the video's a decent 3 minutes long, which is more than enough to get all you desperate Fallout fans breaking into a fever. We see dogs, deathclaws, power armour, guns, ghouls, and last-chance civilisations, but we...

News We're So Glad the Cancelled DOOM 4 Ultimately Met Its Doom
Feel the RAGE
Let's get the Revenant in the room out of the way first: DOOM 4 is not the DOOM game that was teased during a brief trailer yesterday.

News This Is What You Can Do with Friends in The Elder Scrolls Online on PS4
Best mates
Believe it or not, The Elder Scrolls Online lets you play with others as you roam around Tamriel.

News Here's Your First Look at DOOM on PS4
Guns! Monsters! More at E3!
It's finally that time of the year where publishers start dropping 10 second trailers and describing them as E3 2015 teasers.

News You Won't Be Able to Re-Sell Your PS4 Copy of The Elder Scrolls Online
Well, you will – but it'll be useless
Considering that The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited is an MMO without the subscription fee, it sort of makes sense for it to function like any other game in the genre – even if that means that you won't be able to re-sell the title once you're done with it. Bethesda has confirmed that brand new...

Rumour Dishonored: Definitive Edition Sneaks Up on PS4
Arkane magic
Arkane Studios' stealth-'em-up Dishonored was an outstanding game, but we could probably do without a PlayStation 4 remaster. Still, we suppose that Bethesda was never going to be able to resist the re-release money sitting on the table, and so a Brazilian ratings board has seemingly leaked an updated edition of the Dunwall infiltrating...

First Impressions How Brutal Is The Elder Scrolls Online's Combat in Its PS4 Beta?
Plus, we take a look at character progression
Combat in The Elder Scrolls series has never been brilliant, despite the fact that it's been integral to each title's design.

Zzzzz
There's no doubt about it: E3 is an amazing time for gamers – assuming that you live in North America.
