If there's any one company that 'won' E3 2015, it's Bethesda. The company's pre-show press conference stole the show before it even began, with huge reveals like Fallout 4 and Doom trouncing just about everything Microsoft and Sony had up their sleeves. Considering it was Bethesda's first time hosting an E3 event, they completely knocked it out of the park.
Of course, as with all amazing performances, the biggest problem is trying to follow it up. Bethesda's own convention, QuakeCon, is scheduled to begin July 23 - but with such a short break between shows, is it even possible for Bethesda to one-up their own press conference?
Well, judging from the official QuakeCon schedule, it's entirely possible: QuakeCon 2015 is no where near as big as a show like E3, but with games like these, it doesn't have to be. Not only will Fallout 4 and Doom be at the show, but show floor attendees will be treated to a few different exclusive presentations.
First up is Fallout 4: on July 24, game director Todd Howard will take center stage to present a Quake-Con exclusive demo. Sadly, there's no way of telling what will be included in said demo (or if it will ever be made public), but if the QuakeCon presentation is anything like Bethesda's E3 presentation, expect a lengthy look at what the game has to offer.
Later on Friday, The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited will give an exclusive preview of what players can expect from the future of Bethesda's MMORPG. It's not always easy to properly demo everything a MMO has to offer, but there's a good chance that Bethesda will have some sort of new footage for fans to see.
Finally, Id Software will host a panel detailing the development of the upcoming Doom reboot on Saturday. The QuakeCon website describes it as a "special panel discussion," so new footage isn't exactly guaranteed...but it's definitely a possibility.
Obviously, QuakeCon 2015 isn't just about those games: attendees should expect to see games like Settlers of Catan, Magic: The Gathering and Pixel Tactics on the show floor - though it's pretty easy to guess what most people will be looking forward to. For a complete schedule of all QuakeCon 2015 events, head on over to Bethesda's official site.
For everyone who can't make it to QuakeCon, Fallout 4 is set for release this November, while the Doom reboot will hit store shelves sometime early next year.
