So day 0 of E3 is done and dusted and while the team crash and burn from exhaustion over in LA we are still working away to ensure you get the very best news from E3 2015.
We posted throughout the night and covered each of the conferences and it is more than likely that you missed some of the articles that were posted. But fear not we are here to help so here is the definitive list of E3 announcements that have been made so far.
Bethesda
Bethesda started the events with their very first E3 conference and they nailed it with some over the top gore with Doom to an awesome new mobile version of Fallout to the megaton announcement that is Fallout 4
- Watch Bethesda’s E3 conference right here
- Bethesda shows off Dishonored 2
- Doom – Feel that gore
- Doom Snapmap is going to revolutionise game modding
- Fallout Shelter is a free iOS game everyone should have
- Bethesda shows off Fallout 4
- Bethesda’s Battlecry gets trailered
- The Bethesda Showcase (Gallery)
- Bethesda reveals Hearthstone competitor, Elder Scrolls Legend
- Was Bethesda’s press conference a sign of a changing industry?
- Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Collector’s Edition up for pre-order, costs many bottlecaps
That wraps up the announcements from Bethesda, the team are going to do their level best to get some hands on with the titles at E3 so stay tuned for that.
Microsoft
Next up Microsoft took to the stage to showcase what is going to make them the gamers console of choice in this generation and they did exceptionally well with some shock announcements.
- Microsoft’s Showcase Liveblog
- Microsoft kick off their E3 show with Halo 5: Guardians
- Microsoft unveil ReCore– a new IP
- Xbox One gets native 360 backwards compatibility
- Xbox One gets game modding for Fallout 4
- Dark Souls 3 debuts at the Xbox E3 conference
- Microsoft announce a brand new controller
- Check out all the new indie gaming coming to the Xbox One
- Rainbow 6 Siege coming with an extra 2 free games
- Lara’s latest adventure is looking mighty fine based on this gorgeous gameplay trailer
- Microsoft brings a collection of RARE’s games to Xbox One – along with a new one.
- Hololens is enabling the Minecraft dream of all the fans
- E3 2015 in pictures – The Microsoft Press Conference
- Gears of War 4’s protagonists are decidedly less beefy
For me the two draw dropping moments were the announcements of Backwards compatibility and that Hololens demonstration.
EA Games
Next up we had EA Games and while EA refused to give us invites to their conference we used our local skills and managed to get all three of our journalists into the conference.
Which was a mistake as it was seriously dull.
- Mass Effect: Andromeda is coming in 2016
- EA Showcase and liveblog
- Explore, race, and own the city in this latest Need for Speed trailer from EA’s E3 conference
- The Old Republic gets Knights of the Fallen Empire
- Check out Unravel – a new IP showcased at EA’s E3 conference
- Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2
- FIFA 16
- Mirror’s Edge Catalyst coming in February 2016
- Star Wars Battlefront trailer leaked online a little earlier than intended
The thing is their games are looking amazing but the actual show was so incredibly dull. I’m a massive football fan but sitting and talking to Pele for 15 minutes was pretty pointless really.
Ubisoft
By this time I was crashing and I couldn’t stay for the Ubisoft event but Matthew and Geoff worked like demons and posted the following from that conference.
- Ubisoft’s Showcase and liveblog
- A first look at Ubisoft’s For Honor
- Ubisoft shed light on The Division’s ‘Dark Zone’ at E3
- Just Dance keeps dancing in 2016
- New Rainbow Six Siege gameplay shown off at Ubisoft’s E3 conference
- The latest Assassins Creed Syndicate trailer shows how London is being taken back
- Ubisoft close out their E3 conference with the unveiling of Ghost Recon Wildlands
- E3 2015 in pictures–The EA and Ubisoft press conferences
Nothing earth shattering from Ubisoft this year but Rainbow Six Siege and the Division are looking great as well as a nice surprise seeing Ghost Recon make a return.
Sony
By this time even the machine that is Geoff had stopped working and the young gun Matthew had to handle the last conference on his own, and what a marvellous job he did.
- Sony’s Showcase and liveblog
- The Last Guardian is still alive!
- Sony unveil Horizon: Zero Dawn – a brand new, gorgeous looking IP
- Hello Games talk No Man’s Sky at E3
- Confirmed: Final Fantasy VII is getting a full-blown remake!
- Media Molecule showcase Dreams at E3
- Sony showcase Black Ops III at their E3 conference
- Sony conclude their E3 with new Uncharted 4 gameplay
- Call of Duty switches allegiances from Xbox to PlayStation
- Shenmue 3 Kickstarter launched at Sony Press Conference breaks the internet
Sony killed it with some amazing announcements like a brand new remake for Final Fantasy 7 as well as the reveal that they had acquired the timed exclusive for the Call of Duty DLC.
Not to mention that The Last Guardian is still apparently alive?
And last but not least by any stretch, don’t forget to check out hands on of the upcoming Kings Quest from Activision.
So that wraps up day 0. Today the guys are hitting the Square Enix conference, and then E3 officially – followed by some hands on events and a PC gamers conference.
Oh and stay tuned for some incredible pew pew embargoed footage, images and 60fps video that we can’t reveal just yet. Hint: it may be revealed at 9pm.

I guess the Mass Effect Andromeda announcement was not important enough to be here. 🙁

Whoops… we covered that but Geoff didn’t tag it as E3 so I missed it when making this..
Adding it now

how can people even remotely think anyone beat MS’s conference here

I think it’s the Apple effect. People seem to automatically think anything from Sony is awesome. I can already hear someone argue with me about why Dark Souls3 will be “better” on PS4 and why ffvii will only be on PS4(it won’t though, it’s only going to be there first.
Sony lost. Xbox had a pretty awesome presentation and they listened really well to what people want, the backwards compatibility is just awesome. As far as winning goes Bethesda had the best conference, entertaining, cool games and Fallout 4 just looks beautiful.
If you want proof look at the way Gavin had to list stuff for Sony compared to Xbox. Sony has all their indie games listed with their major games and announcements. Xbox has that shortened to “check out all their new indie games”.
Freaken apple ruined everything, including gaming.

even if we look at purely the games from sony conference
final fantasy 7 doesnt seem like a exclusive
last guardian although “cool” its basically the same footage that was released and looks the exact same as the PS3 iteration. Almost none of the Sony games have dates to them so they could be vapourware for all we know
Didnt uncharted crash as well on stage?
and wow they finally got a media player, drum roll
in my opinion:
1st. Microsoft as they really did a lot here: games, and hardware, and new OS
the backwards compatibility is one thing, but its way more then that as they joining the 360 and One ecosystem, ie One players can play with 360 players now
also the preview program for developing games is pretty sweet
2: Bethesda as they showed great games
3: Ubi also good
4: Sony
5: EA
Edit* Yes I see the Apple effect here quite clearly

ME was AWESOME yes.
But to me there are three greats: Fallout, Diablo, Starcraft.
ME is a VERY solid 4th, but I won’t get it;s collectors.

Fallout 2 was great and 3 was good.
Diablo died for me with 3.
SC … can’t wait for Void but still nowhere near the excitement levels I have for ME.
Coincidentally for all those I have and always will get CE.

Honestly now… It looks like because Microsoft screwed up so badly in 2013, even when they have the best E3 press conference, it still gets labelled as “okay” at best.
Nobody in their right mind can argue against MS having had the best and most varied announcements but saying that would be like saying DStv is actually doing a pretty decent job for their market.

Old Ubisoft image is old… Although it may be apt as Ubisoft seem to be stuck in the past.
