During today's Microsoft E3 media briefing, developer 343 Industries provided the first official look at the campaign of Halo 5: Guardians. In it we get a look at Spartan Locke as he works alongside three other Spartans in the hunt for Master Chief.
After showing off first ever footage of Halo 5: Guardians' story campaign, Microsoft introduced a brand new multiplayer mode coming to the game.
Warzone is Halo 5: Guardians' new multiplayer mode. It pits 12 versus 12 players with A.I. opponents and maps that are much larger than the series has ever seen before.
Microsoft will be starting off Monday's press conferences at E3 2015 at 9:30am PST. You can also watch the live stream on YouTube's E3 channel, on Xbox.com, or on the Xbox One through a dedicated channel.
It's E3, baby. Someone had to be the website to boldly declare that it "knows" the Final Fantasy VII remake is coming. Every year, someone claims they've got the inside scoop, and every year so far, they've been wrong. One site's owner even very heatedly shouted me down when I doubted him back in... was it 2012?
You've probably already seen the Doom trailer, but nothing gives you a better idea of how a game looks than some in-game screenshots. We have six for you, and you can see all of them below.
I still remember playing Doom back in 1993. It was one of the first games I had ever played. Considering I was eight years old at the time, it amazes me that my parents let me play such a violent game.
After a length introduction, Fallout producer and director Todd Howard took the stage. As anticipated, a full gameplay trailer of the next title in the franchise was shown. To put it lightly, it was the highlight of the Bethesda Press Conference.
During today's Bethesda E3 media briefing, the publisher announced that the beta for Battlecry, its upcoming multiplayer action game, will be going live later this year.

During Bethesda's E3 media briefing, the folks over at Arkane Studios announced a sequel to Dishonored.
To go along with the announcement, the studio released a trailer, which has been embedded above for your viewing pleasure. It provides an early glimpse at the game's new mechanics as well at its story. Dishonored 2 will feature "new adversaries" and will feature a brand new protagonist and also mark the return of Corvo.
Bethesda opened up its press conference by revealing gameplay of one of its most anticipated games, Doom. This is a game that's been known to be in development for several years. Not long ago a small handful of people were able to see it behind closed doors, but everyone else was left with fewer than five seconds of in-game footage. Now, the next-generation of Doom has been revealed for the world to see.
EarthBound Beginnings, a localized version of the original NES game Mother, is releasing on the Nintendo Wii U eShop tonight at 6pm PT.
The Big N made this announcement during the Nintendo World Championships 2015. To go along with the reveal, the company shared some gameplay footage, which has been embedded above for your viewing pleasure.
There's a lot of hype going into this year's E3. In order for it to be as big as many hope, it'll need major announcements that stun gamers. Many suspect that The Last Guardian's revival will be one of its megatons, and now it appears that Shenmue will be along for the ride.
The publisher and developer giant Electronic Arts will be featuring its E3 2015 press conference at the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles on Monday, June 15, at 1pm PST/4pm EST/9pm GMT.
CEO Andrew Wilson will be hosting the event, promising gameplay footage of Mirror's Edge Catalyst, Need for Speed, and Star Wars: Battlefront. Hopefully, this will be turn of the tide so that Electronic Arts is no longer the worst company in America.
During today's Super Smash Bros. presentation, series creator Masahiro Sakurai confirmed that both Ryu from Street Fighter and Roy from the Fire Emblem series will be headed to Nintendo's popular fighting game for Wii U and 3DS. Both Roy and Ryu release alongside Lucas today for $3.99 each.
Additionally, Kirby's Dreamland stage from the original Nintendo 64 game is coming to both the 3DS and Wii U versions of the game. Other classic stages from the N64 game are in the works as well, and a Miiverse stage has been confirmed for release on the Wii U version.

It seemed like, when a lot of these things were announced, instead of saying, "Whaaaaaat!?" we felt more like "Well yeah, of course."
If you liked Katamari Damacy, you might want to keep an eye on creator Keita Takahashi's upcoming PS4 project Wattam.
The PS Blog tells us that, "There was a gigantic explosion which spread the people of Wattam all across the galaxy. As a result of this crazy BOOM, only a few people, a few pieces of world, and the Mayor are left when you begin the game."
Players familiar with Katamari Damacy will notice the familiar goal of helping put things together again. ItÄ‚Ë€â„Ës the blowing shit up that will sound strange.
You bring as many people and things together as possible, and then give your world some attention and buzz by making them go boom. Bring people together by blowing them up. Perfect, right?
Bethesda's first ever E3 press conference will be live via its official Twitch channel (embedded above) at 7:00pm PST on Sunday.
Bethesda will likely show off DOOM, Battlecry, and Fallout 4, and announce the debut for Dishonored 2 (which was recently leaked). Let's see how many points on my wishlist for Fallout 4 will come true.
We've seen quite a few Transformers games over the years. Sadly, most haven't been so great. The next one might just change that.
A game titled Transformers Devastation is currently in development, or at least that's what today's Best Buy Canada leak suggests with its box art, screenshots, and all. While usually a Transformers game announcement isn't met with too much applause, this one is different; it's not only published by Activision, but developed by the immensely talented Platinum Games, makers of Bayonetta 2 among other blockbusters.
Capcom showed Street Fighter V to Japanese media recently. You've seen one round of screenshots, so here's another to wash it down, because I don't know how eating works.
