E3 2015: We Talk Over The Bethesda Press Conference

200years in the future and it looks like it has been about 20-30 years.

Its cool hair brad!

Still can't play this video on iPad and the download button no longer works. I could play videos fine 2 days ago. What changed with the site?

GRR... Why won't this play on my ipad?

Not playing for me either on Windows. Doesn't give options for how to watch, just SD, HD. Just broken Duders, they will fix it.

Thanks man, I was itching to watch these (couldn't catch them live). Bethesda. MS, EA are up already there. Ubisoft will probably be there in an hour or two.

Whoever did the Fallout 4 presentation (didn't catch it, skipped around), is pretty good. Saved the press event imho, all the other guys were so awkward.

RSS is busted for this one. "No media file" with Downcaster.

Doesn't work for me.

I've been away for awhile (other than podcasts). Is that Gerstmann? Looks like he lost quite a bit of weight!

Man, I gotta say, it's a bit of a bummer that the go-to form of humor for the guys is now cynicism. I thought DOOM looked fucking rad and it seemed like only Dan had any real enthusiasm for it. Everyone else just kept making crazy faux-demands about how it needed to be radder or faster or have more sick guitar riffs or sicker guitar riffs.

I know they were just joking, but c'mon---that demo was already way crazier than anyone would expect DOOM to be in 2015; you'd expect it to be an overly self-serious game with no real regard for the previous titles. DOOM seemed like a really cool take that respects the franchise roots while also making it modern and fun and not taking itself too seriously, and frankly, I think we should be straight-up applauding that, not making snide jokes because they're easy.

I totally get that having to be entertaining for thousands of people live while talking over a press conference is really tough, I also wish we could just move past the post-modern too-cool-for-school attitude and like stuff again. Dan's genuine unashamed enthusiasm when he likes something is really cool to see.

The download button isn't working. I download these at work and watch them at home because I haven't got the internet at my new house yet. I'm really keen to watch this. @vinny@unastrike @drewbert

@trayntastic: Can you please put it up online for me then? Haha.. I just moved to Yellowknife and my internet is shit everywhere I go.

Man, I don't know about the changes to Fallout. I like knowing exactly what I'm going to say; several times in Mass Effect and in L.A. Noire my character said something far different than what I was expecting.

Also, a voice-acted main character kind of steps on the idea of playing whoever you want. In Saints Row: The Third, you were The Boss, that was your character, but they still gave you options for your speech. Unless there are a dozen or more voice profiles, the vocalizations coming out of my sixty-year-old, mustached gunslinger will be out of place.

Does anyone have any idea when the stream will be properly archived ?

More Dishonored is welcome.

@mtfikhan: I'm also missing Scoops, but at least he's got some video reactions to the conferences!

Awesome seeing Austin on the streams!

Brad is still Dan. Magic.

Now if Dan would only embrace his evil side too and get the same haircut everything would fall into place.

Now that are all kind of done, This was the best press conference in my opinion.

I am guessing all the E3 stuff will be properly archived and available for download after it is all over. I'm sure it is all they can do just to post the videos and such much less make them available for download.

Why are the archives taking so long on these? I don't remember this being an issue before, but I could be wrong. @vinny@drewbert

No video files on the mobile IOS side, bummer I was looking forward to this one. Fix it Vinny!

For anyone trying to watch these on iOS, they won't work through the site, but if you go onto Giant Bomb's youtube they are accessible.

Pretty sure that saying "it doesn't look any better than Fallout 3" is grounds to be declared legally blind

@colin_lashley: The conference videos on the site are just the stream archives; the GB crew hasn't properly uploaded these videos and probably won't until they get back from E3.

John, you are the demons...

Due to my aversion to trailers/spoilers I really haven't seen many of these videos at the time. Now that I have pretty much played every game from this year that I wanted to play. It's time to go back and watch this.

Wow DOOM looked amazing back then. I still almost don't believe games can actually look like that these days.

The lack of skills and building/crafting in Fallout 4 is definitely a deal breaker for me. They've gone too far away from Fallout 2. It was one of my favorite series but I was really kinda let down by everything that came after 2.

It's time to rewatch those before this year's E3 and see how many things came out and how many we will see again this year...

Rewatching these now in the current state we are in, is something else.
