Below you'll find my overview of both press conferences, as well as videos from Digital Trend's highlight videos. Check it all out below!
Microsoft had their press conference early Monday afternoon and came strong with a lineup of solid games and announcements. The big one that came out of their announcements was the ability to play Xbox 360 games on Xbox One. Although the list is fairly small for the moment, Microsoft is promising over 100 titles to be supported by the end of this year. Those in the Xbox preview program can test out the small list of supported games, which includes Perfect Dark Zero and several XBLA games such as Toy Soldiers and Battleblock theater.
Titles showcased during the conference:
- Halo 5
- Rise of the Tomb Raider
- Fallout 4 (Mod support for Xbox One)
- Dark Souls 3
- The Division (Exclusive Early access Beta announced)
- The Rare collection (30+ classic games from Rare including Battletoads, Jet Force Gemini)
- PvZ: Garden Warfare 2
Sony showcased announcements that probably made many of us shed a tear or two and I couldn’t be happier. Rumors that have been dreams with no hope of becoming a reality became a night of incredible reality. From a Final Fantasy VII remake, to a promotion of a new Kickstarter to fund Shenmue III, and providing new gameplay for The Last Guardian as well as a release date for next year, surprises were abound during their presentation.
Titles showcased during the conference:
- The Last Guardian (Coming 2016)
- Batman: Arkham Knight
- Call of Duty Black Ops 3 (DLC coming first now to PS4)
- New Expansion for Destiny
- Final Fantasy World
- Final Fantasy VII remake (Coming first to PS4)
- Uncharted 4
- No Man’s Sky (Release to be announced soon)
- Street Fighter V
- Hitman (Upcoming Beta for PS4)

Happy E3 Week!!
Doom
The grandaddy of the FPS genre is coming back with its style of brutal violence and fast-paced gameplay. This new version will run at 1080p with 60fps when it released in the Spring of 2016 for PS4, XB1, and PC. Aside from the campaign and multiplayer component, players will be able to create custom content with ease and share with Doom community with the press of a button.
Dishonored 2
The sequel to one of my favorite games from 2012 will be coming back with a new setting and playable female assassin. The brief video shown for the game was nice and I look forward to hearing more information about the game this week. Another nice treat for the game will be the remastered edition of the first Dishonored game, which will be available for current gen consoles this Fall.
Battlecry
The upcoming F2P team game looks to be ontrack in terms of development, with an open beta coming very soon for PC players.
The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited
The recently released online title was shown with a trailer that gives player a glimpse of the game’s upcoming DLC plans that will expand the Elder Scrolls universe for its growing base.
Elder Scrolls legends
Think Hearthstone+Elder scrolls and you’ll have a good idea of what to expect with this upcoming card game. Should be another fun title to check out when it released for mobile and tablet devices.
Fallout Shelter
A nice little surprise during the Fallout 4 presentation was the announcement of Fallout Shelter. The game is available now for iOS and will also be released for Android devices, and allows players to manage their own vault as you seek to gain resources from the wasteland and protect your vault dwellers.
Fallout 4
November 10th, 2015 is when we’ll all get to play the latest in the Post Apocalyptic title, and I cannot wait! Todd Howard, the game director and integral piece of Bethesda, showcased the title with an impressive demo, which you can view below:
Highlights included:
- Play as a voiced female or male character
- You’ll get to play before the Nuclear war begins
- Enhanced V.A.T.S gameplay
- Ability to play in 1st or 3rd person
- Dog companion
- Customize settlements and defend against wasteland threats
- Pip Boy App offers a second screen experience
- Special edition comes with a working Pip boy!

"The team at Bluepoint Games is incomparable regarding their portfolio of ports and remastered releases, and we’ve been working closely with them to bring over our engine to make Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection an exemplary game.
That means not only delivering the single-player campaigns of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception in 1080p and 60fps with better lighting, textures, and models, but also adding a range of improvements and additions across all three games including Photo Mode and new trophies."

In what appears to be another accidental leak turned official news, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake collection has been unveiled by Naughty Dog after its logo was posted to the PlayStation Store last night via the mobile store site.
The collection will consist of the three PS3 Uncharted games, Drake's Fortune, Among Theives, and Drake's Deception, and will be fully remastered for PlayStation 4. The collection is set to be released on October 9th of this year. Each title in the collection will be displayed in 1080p with a frame rate of 60fps in a similiar fashion as the Last of Us for PS4.
The trickles of major gaming news will sure to continue until E3, but I hope that we can still be surprised with some content when the Press conferences air!
