For the first time, Bethesda is putting on its own E3 press conference. With all of the buildup of having a making an appearance, Bethesda really set out to build anticipation for its presentation and make a huge impression. Now that the show is over, it's time to review what we just saw. With that, welcome to our recap.

If you missed out on the announcements, worry not. We watched the entire thing, wrote a bunch of news articles about it, and summed up everything in one place. All you need to do to catch up is scroll through this gallery. So go ahead, get all of the most important information from the Bethesda press conference on the following slides.

Doom has never looked this fast or fluid before. An extended gameplay demo showed off what looks to be some kind of space base or factory over-run with hellspawn. The biggest thing to take away is the fluidity - it almost turns into a ballet of blood and bullets as the layer deftly maneuvers around the the corridors, clambering onto platforms, and exploding enemies into so many ludicrous gibs. And the game never seems to skip a beat, maintaining an almost hyper-realistic level of smoothness - even when time slows down when you select a gun from the weapon wheel. There's also incredible levels of detail, whether you're looking at a high-res monitor or the etchings on a new shotgun. Classic weapons return, like the plasma rifle, and the chainsaw - and yeah, it's as gory as you think it is, with demons splitting in half like a knife through butter. And you've even got finishing moves that let you rip an enemy's face apart.

It's Doom, so it's gonna get multiplayer, but you're also not limited to what multiplayer modes and maps that Id has cooked up. Doom Snapmap lets you create own competitive and co-operative multiplayer game types, and it looks like there's going to be a ridiculous amount of variety for you to dig into. You can start from predefined modes or make full custom games by editing the map layouts, the item placement, and even the game logic to make your own game-within-a-game.

It'll be hitting Xbox One, PS4, and PC some time early next year, and it's bringing back the classic weapons and shooting you love, with a few modern twists. We're talking, of course, about the giant green plasma shots of the unmistakable BFG.
