Bethesda E3 Conference

   Many of you may already know that Bethesda, not too long ago announced they would be holding their first ever company specific conference at E3 this year. This comes as a happy surprise to many fans as they are the creators of a couple of the most popular RPG open world games ever made. The Elder Scrolls series, and the Fallout series that only became an open world RPG during of of the last game's release, Fallout 3. Originally the Fallout series was a tactical strategy game that took place during the same era. Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas became open world RPG's and became a cornerstone in the Bethesda's series lineup. Unfortunately, Fallout 3 was released in 2008, and Fallout: New Vegas was released in 2010, so it's been 5 years since the most recent release of the games. Fans have awaited eagerly the announcement of their next game in the series, supposedly Fallout 4. The assumption is that, because they are doing their own event, Bethesda has something big in store. Most likely, Fallout 4 will be announced, but I have my doubts that this will be the only thing announced. Something that seems very likely is that they will talk about more than just the Fallout announcement, and I assume it has to do with the Elder Scrolls series. It hasn't been as long since their last ES game was released, but it was still 2011, just a year after Fallout: New Vegas. My assumption is that another Elder Scrolls game will be announced. Now, this doesn't mean it will definitely be a new game to the series, but it is possible. What I'm putting my money on is that they are announcing a remastered edition for the new consoles, that comes with all the DLC and will hopefully not have any issues with "hitching" while moving between loaded areas. It's also possible they could talk about a special remastered Oblivion for the new consoles using the Skyrim, or possibly newer, engine with better graphics and possibly some extra dlc/mod content. To me personally, that would be incredible, but probably the least likely thing on my list. My expectation is a Fallout 4 announcement, and a remastered Skyrim. However, we can dream that a remastered Oblivion will be created, as well as a possible next Elder Scrolls being released in the series. Either way, fans will be happy with whatever they announce I'm sure!

Thanks again for reading! Game On! ^_^
