E3 2015 Recap:
Bethesda:
*Doom 4 premiere trailer
-Honest to God looked like Duke Nukem Forever
-Several times during each fight, the action stopped so the Doom Man could do a 10 second Fatality on the monsters
+-Evidently there is still someone at id/Bethesda with a shred of decency left in them because he didn't say one-liners during those fatalities
*Fallout
-They spent 10 minutes talking about an iphone case that comes with the $120 special edition of the game.
-It was suggested that you wear it when you play and use it to interact with the menu
-This is what it looks like
Microsoft:
*Showed a trailer for a controller interchangeable pieces
-The controller costs $150
*Announced backwards compatibility with 360 games. This is a list of games they there are launching this feature with
EA*EA started the show by announcing that they were closing with a Starwars Battlefront trailer. Every single time there was a lull in the show, a huge graphic appeared at the bottom of the screen appeared with a countdown to the Starwars Battlefront trailer.
*EA brought out an indie dev affectionately referred to as
Trembling Man to talk about his adorable heartfelt game that clearly meant a lot, personally, to him. This is how his segment ended:
https://youtu.be/9Sr0XF091Ds?t=1400*In order to demonstrate that their NBA face mapping tech now supported Black People, EA brought The Hoop Gawd out on stage and did a live demo. @ThaHoopGawd (his account, started right before the show) has no tweets prior to E3 and I'm completely certain he is a non-entity created by EA for the purposes of this live demo.
*To promote the new FIFA game, Soccer legend Pele made incomprehensible old man noises in english for what was clearly not supposed to be that long of an interview
Ubisoft*A cool old man with a swordcane was very excited to tell us about his game where you fight with swords

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY1p8ZgvqYM -Is anyone else bothered by the fact that a major publisher, let alone SONY, devoted E3 time to a Kickstarter?
+Are there so many Shut Up And Take My Money dipshits out there that this could start to become a trend? Will we one day see an E3 (or an E3-like event) that's nothing but crowdfunding pitches?
*This is the last E3 before Sony ships Morpheus (their VR system). They spent roughly 2 minutes talking about it. They spent longer talking about Spotify integration immediately afterwards
*Konami burned its bridges with Hideo so there was no one to present the new trailer for Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain, which I am increasingly convinced will be the last game worth playing ever. This isn't particularly funny. I'm just pointing out the fact that you might not have seen the trailer. Go watch the trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0W3xRgr70E*Only tangentially related but Konami hired a guy to dress as Big Boss and perform CQC moves on attendees

*Reggie got insanely brutally destroyed at Smash Brothers
*Metroid Prime Blast Ball
*Two Animal Crossing games were shown. One is Happy Home Decorator for 3DS and the other was... a Wii U game? That's right! Animal Crossing Amiibo Amigos, a party game that requires amiibos for each character. Animal Crossing on Wii U, at long last.
*They were REALLY banking on Zelda coming out this year
Square-Enix*The Metal Gear Rising Revengeance people are working on a sequel to Nier
*I don't remember anything else from this
*FF15 wasn't there somehow

*This was terrible
*Instead of watching this one I just watched the Giant Bomb Day 1 recap in one monitor while this playlist was playing in another
