Microsoft's E3 2015 press conference started sensibly enough, with the franchise that put Xbox on the map: Halo
While no major plot reveals were made, the new Halo 5 Guardians gameplay further conveyed the likelihood that Halo 5: Guardians will a significant character departure not seen since Halo: Reach, a game that didn't even feature Master Chief at all. Led by Spartan Locke (with the acting and facial capture of Nathan Fillion), his squad is in search for Master Chief, who has since gone missing in action.

The emphasis on a squad without Master Chief was effective in connecting this campaign mode with the much talked about Halo 5 Guardians multiplayer.
The presentation wrapped up with reminder of Halo 5 Warzone, a highly customizable multiplayer platform that pits up to 24 players adversarially and against AI bots. Expect maps larger than your average Halo map.
Halo 5 Guardians is set for release on October 27, 2015.

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.
