Even without Sony this year, E3 2019 continued to deliver big trailers, major surprises, and a wealth of new information regarding many of the biggest and highly anticipated releases from companies like Bethesda, Ubisoft, Microsoft, and more. Unlike last year, not a lot of studios opted to show gameplay in their trailers, meaning the majority of what people saw at the show was CG. Whether that's due to the upcoming next generation of consoles or the hesitancy to show something too early is anyone's gu Meanwhile, the more gun-based gameplay also comes with different scenarios and twists. While I spent a substantial portion in objective-based missions, I also hit checkpoint to checkpoint on the map, "liberating" gas stations and reinforced outposts with an iron fist and blazing shotgun. Other times, I was taking on War of the Worlds monolithic bots, dodging and sprinting from lasers within an abandoned town. I haven't seen a fraction of what RAGE 2 has to offer, but I'm expecting a veritable playground of death and may It turns out that Bethesda's upcoming **Doom eternal story guide|Https://doometernalplay.com/ Eternal ** gained an unusual tie to Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy when it came to naming the sequel. 2016's Doom reinvented the shooter series from its original roots and brought the demonic world of Slayers to the next-generation of gaming conso Although Watch Dogs Legion leaked a few days ahead of its planned reveal, the trailer was able to really show off the unique mechanics and gameplay that Ubisoft was going for with this ambitious title. Fans got a good look at how they'll be able to recruit anyone in the game and then switch to them as a fully voiced and animated character. From punk rockers, grandmothers, business professionals, and everyone in between, Watch Dogs Legion lets players drive the action how they want in this near future version of Lon The second of two Smash Bros DLC reveals, this one came at near the end of Nintendo's E3 2019 presentation. It smartly reused King K. Rool's reveal trailer, this time putting the King inside of Donkey Kong's house with Diddy. The trailer played out similarly with the Duck Hunt Dog trolling the group until Banjo and Kazooie finally showed up and revealed their inclusion at long last. For many fans, it was also a cool moment to see King K. Rool, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Banjo, and Kazooie all together once again considering their shared history under the development studio R To date, none of those exclusive games have been announced, but more information is expected to come in the summer. In fact, Google said that the Stadia launch lineup will be confirmed this summer, so those interested in Google's ambitious new game streaming service should only have to wait a few more months to find out m Of course, there's the possibility of tiered subscriptions and the chance players will be able to simply buy specific games outright instead of signing up for the subscription, but all of that has yet to be clarified. More information on Google Stadia's price should become available as we get closer to its release d Having gone quiet since the release of Dishonored 2 and Death of the Outsider , Arkane Studios returned to E3 2019 to premiere the first trailer for its newest IP called Deathloop . The stylish and action-heavy trailer reveals two characters who appear to be in constant conflict with one another in a never-ending loop on an island known as Blackreef. These two assassins continually battle each other in an effort to protect what they believe in either breaking or keeping the cycle al Catching some subtle grief from both journos and comment sections for supposedly making an error in my reporting wasn't bothersome to me personally. However, I find it hilarious that many outlets thought they knew more than I did about my one-on-one conversation, despite not being an active participant in that chat that took place with Hines. This is why you shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet (even though I guess in this case, you kind of could have). Welcome to gaming journalism in 2 A few months back at PAX East, we had the opportunity to speak to Bethesda's Pete Hines about the company's future plans and what they had lined up for E3. In the course of our conversation, Hines ended up using a frequent expression that grabbed headlines and caused many to think that he was potentially teasing a new game. That didn't happen -- at least not purposefu Plagued with self-doubt following the DOOM Eternal E3 teaser , we caught up with Hines after Bethesda's showcase event to ask him if he was indeed teasing the newly announced DOOM game to us during our interview. He responded and said that his use of "hell on Earth" wasn't meant to intentionally tease DOOM Eternal . He was just used as a casual expression because, you know, that's what it Outside of Final Fantasy 7 , the other major title fans were anticipating from Square Enix was Marvel's Avengers . While this game had been previously announced, nearly nothing had been shown. The E3 2019 trailer gave fans their first look at the game and its five starting heroes: Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, and Black Widow. As the trailer reveals, a celebration turns deadly, splitting up the team until five years later when new threats force them to reassem
