Devolver Digital’s ‘Press Conference’ Was A Nightmare Vision of E3
Publisher Devolver Digital hosted their very first E3 press conference this year. OK, it was actually an hour slot in Twitch’s official E3 stream. They didn’t announce any new games, but they did offer us a satirical sketch about E3 press conferences. Publisher Devolver Digital has an irreverent sense of humor—they’ve published games like Hotline…

The New Dragon Ball Z Fighting Game Looks Killer In Action
While we got a glimpse of Dragon Ball FighterZ yesterday, today people are uploading full matches—and the game looks sick. Something about going 2.5D really accentuates the action while sticking true to the anime roots. Developed by Arc Systems, the game looks a bit like what you might expect out of a Marvel vs Capcom…

We Played The Prison Break Game, And It Looks Ambitious
A Way Out was one of the biggest surprises of the EA press conference. An indie title made by the designer behind Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, it is a co-op narrative game that puts players in the shoes of two convicts on the run. After playing a short session, the game shows promise.…

Among other things they debuted sequels to Wolfenstein and The Evil Within, along with a new Dishonored game. There weren’t any huge surprises, but at least they kept things moving along.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus On The Way
Last year at E3, Betheda teased a new Wolfenstein game. This year they’re announcing it, showing off Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus for the first time. The game, a follow-up to the excellent Wolfenstein: New Order (and less excellent Old Blood), again has us playing as BJ Blazkowicz, and appears to take us beyond Europe…

The Evil Within 2 Comes Out In October
Survival horror game The Evil Within is getting a sequel, Bethesda announced today during its E3 press conference. Once again, Shinji Mikami of Resident Evil fame returns as a producer for this creepy series. The whole thing looks like a trip:

Bethesda Announces ‘Creation Club’ For Fallout 4 And Skyrim
Remember paid mods and the fiasco that ensued after they launched? Well, Bethesda wants you to know that Creation Club—coming this summer to Skyrim and Fallout 4—isn’t that. But it does sound kinda similar. The basic idea is that developers within Bethesda as well as “some with external partners who have worked on our games,…

Skyrim Switch Has Amiibo Support, Lets You Dress Up As Link
The Nintendo Switch version of Skyrim will come with some special goodies and JoyCon-specific control schemes, as we can see in this new footage released by Bethesda tonight. Granted, PC players have been able to dress up as Link for ages, but hey! For the rest of us, this is pretty cool.

Let’s Just Appreciate Sea Of Thieves’ Water For A Second
Sea of Thieves is a game about pirates, so if there’s one thing developers Rare need to get right, it’s the water. I have a thing about video game water. Whether it’s waves lapping the shore in Total War or the rolling seas of Assassin’s Creed IV, I’ve always been fascinated by the work that…

The Xbox One X Sure Will Be Hard To Market
Today, Microsoft revealed its latest console upgrade: the Xbox One X. Sure, it’s powerful. Yes, that design looks sleek. Still, I think the new hardware is going to make things confusing for a lot of people. The most superficial complaint we can make is that “Xbox One X” is not a good name when compared…

There’sa new Xbox in town. There wasn’t that much of the actual hardware on show in the company’s E3 presser though, so here’s a better look at the Xbox One X’s design. As you can tell by the size of the controller there, this thing is pretty small! For an all-around look (including the back,…
