Bethesda Unveils New Doom Game, Announces Dishonored 2

An anonymous reader writes: Bethesda kicked off this year's E3 expo by unveiling the new Doom game they've been working on and announcing a sequel to the popular fantasy action-adventure game Dishonored. They've posted a gory trailer (YouTube) for Doom, and shared several minutes of gameplay footage as well. The game is due out in Spring 2016 for Xbox One, PS4, and PCs, and it will include an editor that will let players make new maps and gameplay modes. Dishonored 2 has a trailer as well, though fewer details have been shared about the game. Bethesda also added details to their recent announcement of Fallout 4. It's been given a release date of November 10th (2015), and they did a live demo on stage at E3 (YouTube) with a bunch of game footage.

Poor summary

How is the Fallout 4 stuff a minor footnote at the end?
I'd hazard a guess most of us watching the live stream just tuned in for the Fallout stuff.

Because most people are more psyched about Doom. Fallout was a great series, until they got to Fallout 3 and New Vegas, which were just massive, boring and lazy disappointments. I have no reason to believe Fallout 4 will be any better

The games listed in the summary are in the exact same order as Bethesda announced them at E3:
Doom first, Dishonored second, Fallout 4 last.

The same order as the announcement makes quite a lot of sense if you are trying to keep your own biases out of things.
They are also coincidentally in alphabetical order.

As this is an E3 announcement panel, it would also not be fair to only speak of Fallout 4 and ignore the other games, as doing so would make it a Fallout announcement instead of an E3/Bethesda one.

Fallout, Dishonored yes/DOOM meh

Looking forward to these games, but the kill cutscenes in the new DOOM where they take control away from your character so you can watch someone's head explode will get very boring very quickly.

I kind of wish they'd have left DOOM alone and just created something new instead. I realize it's all about franchises, but still...

Apparently you have to decide to do a gory kill just before it dies to see the gory quicktime kill.

No dynamic slices or severs, apparently, which would he a fun minigame deciding which way to cut.

Oh well. Maybe 20 years in the future they will have this tech, sometime around 2015. For now, mid 1990s, it remains a game engine sliding per-generated animations around a landscape.
