WELCOME TO OUR E3 SPECIAL! Normally I'll have a small amount of writing discussing what we've been playing, or what we're going to discuss, but this time, for our E3 Special, I'm going to link my notes in this post, so people can read exactly what I was thinking! I'll likely link my "raw" notes too, that are far less organized and more of a mess than this, if anyone's interested.
We have a long podcast this week, and it's only part of 2 or 3, not quite sure yet, but we have a E3 blowout. Stay tuned for Sony tommorow, and enjoy!

Bethesda
- Doom

- Looks like a TF2 ripoff
- Dishonored 2
- You play as Emily or Corvo

- CAN play as a female, tutorial/char creation is pre-bombs, customization looks really cool

- Vats is back, there’s a crit meter, time doesn’t freeze in vats (only slows) and companions have contextual commands
- Pipboy interface got a minor redesign, items are animated and the vaultboy icons are animated gifs. Pipboy also has games now.
- A “real” pipboy in the collectors edition, you can put your phone in it, and there’s a Pipboy companion app for a second screen experience. You can use it inplace of your pipboy in game, app will work without the pipboy, app is for andorid and IOs
- Base building similar to the New Vegas mod, can build and decorate your home base, you build a settlement eventually and can build trader stands, devices that require power and generators, switches, lights, very minecrafty. Settlement can and will be attacked by raiders, so you need to build defenses to protect it.
- Build multiple settlements and can send caravans between them to help supply them

Microsoft
- Recore

- No actual gameplay shown, but the cinematic trailer looked good
- Robots with sphere “cores”, removed them to destroy the robot
- Character’s dog companion had his body destroyed, girl took his “core”, and put it in a new robotic body thus reviving him and upgrading him into a much stronger body
- Xbox
