Bethesda jump started the Electronic Entertainment Expo by showing off the latest installments of “Fallout” and “Doom.”
The video game publisher launched this year’s annual video game extravaganza Sunday night with its first-ever E3 press conference at the Dolby Theatre.
Bethesda Softworks spent most of its 90-minute briefing showcasing scenes from both a new edition of the hellish first-person shooter “Doom” and the post-apocalyptic role-playing saga “Fallout 4.”
Bethesda Game Studios director Todd Howard said, “I think we can all agree that tonight starts a week with E3 that is the world’s best week of entertainment ever.”
Howard went on to detail how the character creation, settlement construction and combat systems work in “Fallout 4” amid the game’s virtual rendition of Boston plagued by a nuclear attack. He announced “Fallout 4” would be released Nov. 10.
