E3 press conferences are typically about the spectacle of lots of different games, lots of trailers, and just a tease of gameplay. Bethesda threw all that out the window with its debut 2015 presentation; the publisher closed out its show with over half an hour focused exclusively on the highly anticipated .
The Bethesda E3 2015 press conference started out with the first public showing of the new Doom game, and it was a substantial series of trailers and demos. It's gruesome, violent, and chaotic.
Bethesda's first ever pre-E3 press conference made the usually quiet Sunday before E3 a noisy and jam-packed one, with plenty of reveals, rumors, and news spilling out during the day. From Gears of War leaks to various tidbits revealed at the Nintendo World Championships, and all the way up to a hugely successful inaugural Bethesda press conference, there was plenty to digest--and E3 hasn't officially started yet!
If there was any lingering question about what Bethesda's most important IP is, the publisher put that to rest in front of a sold-out Dolby Theatre auditorium in Los Angeles on Sunday.
During a one-hour press conference that featured a robust slate of triple-A games that any publisher would envy, including
This is a natural evolution of Fallout 3, with every single element expanded upon, sometimes to a n unbelievable degree. But it also appears to be a far more personal Fallout, with your hero given a voice, a dog to keep you company, and quite tragically, a wife and child to lose after the bomb lands
Fallout 4 has been in development for four years, and while some may lament the slightly awkward animations, you really can sense how much love and energy went into building this world. Boston is a vulgar wasteland, but it's Bethesda's vulgar wasteland, and there's nothing half-hearted about it.
Bethesda started E3 2015 off with a conference tonight and showed off a lot of footage from its upcoming games. Doom got its first public demos, Dishonored 2 was revealed with a cinematic trailer, and Fallout 4 received several gameplay demos and other trailers.
We've collected all of the trailers into one place. Check them out below:

Other News:
Bethesda announced Bethesda Net, a headquarters for all of the company's games and the community-created content from editors like Doom's Snapmap.
Battlecry Studios announced that the global beta of Battlecry is now live for signups, just in time for E3 2015. You can sign up at https://www.battlecrythegame.com/ .
This announcement coincides with the new Battlecry trailer revealed during the Bethesda's inaugural E3 press conference. The trailer also revealed the Han Republic, an Asian squad featuring some previously-announced classes including a monk character. No word yet if the monk is a new class or if it's one of the five known classes. New combat gameplay also featured Asian-themed arenas befitting the early 20th century setting, mostly with industrial backgrounds. The trailer also provided a refresher of the five announced classes, the hammer-swinging Brawler, the far-reaching Enforcer, the agile, dual wielding Infiltrator, the ranged bow and arrow prowess of the Ranger, and the gun-wielding Gadgeteer.
Bethesda is bringing the iconic Pip-Boy to life by realising an actual version of the post-apocalyptic smart device that works with iPhones.
The physical version of the Pip-Boy will be included with a special edition of Fallout 4, and owners can slide in their iPhone to work as the screen for the device.
To go with it, Bethesda has created a custom app that functions as a second screen experience. Offering his own thoughts on gimmick second-screen apps, Todd Howard "as far as stupid gimmicks go, this is the best fucking one i've seen."
The Fallout 4 companion app will be available to download to everyone on iOS and Android. It will communicate with Xbox One, PS4, and PC. It will be available alongside the game.
As for the in-game Pip-Boy, Bethesda has re-designed the interface to be more entertaining. During the Fallout 4 demo at its press conference, the little on-screen Vault Boy is shown animating as the player navigates around the device.
Also included in the Fallout 4 Pip-Boy are mini-games. During the demo we're shown one that looks to be inspired by Nintendo's arcade classic Donkey Kong.
Tonight at Bethesda's E3 briefing, the company, Bethesda Game Studios director Todd Howard not only
The game launches tonight on iTunes as a free download. The game will offer some microtransactions for purchase, but Howard stresses there are no paywall times and you don't need an Internet connection.
Fallout Shelter lets you build your own vault and act as its "overseer." Basically, you control all the people inside the vault and must keep them productive and happy.
This includes sending couples into the bedroom, which "increases happiness," Howard said. As overseer, you are also charged with naming babies in your vault that are the result of this "increased happiness."
Howard went on to explain that Fallout Shelter was inspired by games like XCOM, SimCity, and FTL.
We'll have more on Fallout Shelter as it becomes available.
