We've waited up into the not-so-early hours of morning in order to cover Bethesda's E3 2017 press conference, but was it worth the sleepless night? The publisher's third E3 show, it brought some big guns to the Los Angeles event courtesy of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and The Evil Within 2 - although both were leaked well before the 45-minute show started.
As always, though, we want to know what you think. Did Bethesda's presser impress, or were you left disappointed? Vote in our poll and share your opinion in the comments section below.

Bethesda?
More like Bore-thesda!
I didn't watch it, but just going off the announcements I'm pretty happy. I'm stoked for Evil Within 2, and I'll likely be playing Wolfenstein 2 as well.
The only thing they showed that had my interest, was a piece of DLC for a game I haven't bought yet.
Fallout VR looks neat but (if I had VR) I wouldn't want to play the entire game over again really. I have The Evil Within but never got myself to finish it...so a sequel doesn't interest me too much right now. Definitely excited for Dishonored 2 DLC though and after that great Wolfenstein 2 trailer I feel the need to try the first one.
snoozefest x 100
I did not watch, but wolfenstein 2 is a must have.
It was a bit like Bethesda's show last year. Clearly a couple of cool games on display, but is that really enough to build a whole press conference around? Thankfully Bethesda didn't drag it out.
@ShogunRok EA didn't have much more to show, glad I didn't get up early for this one though as I'd planned to, all hail the snooze button.
I'm only interested in the new Dishonoured game.
I'm only interested in The Evil Within 2 honestly.
Hopefully they are saving the big announcements for a future convention...
Good. Wolfenstein 2, evil within 2 and doom vr looks good.
I thought it was pretty good. They didn't talk about an awful lot, and I wasn't interested in some of it (mobile games and Elder Scrolls Online, mainly), but the Dishonored standalone game and Wolfenstein II looked great. It's cool that they're supporting VR in a major way, too. Better overall than EA's show, that's for sure.
Evil Within 2 and Wolfenstein 2 in the same month!?
YAHHHHOOOOOO!!!!!
Liked the VR announcements though obviously, Fallout wasn't PSVR (as far as I could see?). Wolfenstein has gone into my want list.
From a game perspective, I was most interested in this out of the shows so far. Wasnt too much content for a presser though .
So, so boring. The Evil Within 2 looks potentially cool but the rest of it didn't appeal to me in the slightest.
Can't believe I got up at 5 am to watch that.... Where the supposed new ips?
Wolfenstein was literally the only thing I cared about, the rest was guff. That card game thing in particular.
Similar problem as the EA presser for me, the games look good but the presentation was poor.
I am not so sure Bethesda have enough to justify their own conference to be honest, although I am excited for Wolfenstein and especially for Evil Within 2, that came was criminally underrated in my opinion.
It was ok, but wasnt bethesda supposed to snow 2 new IPs?
Both Wolfenstein and the Evil Within impressed but the overall presentation was quite good. It was let down more by my lack of interest in a number of games - like the VR (not owning a VR headset), Skyrim (not owning Switch) etc.
I came away wanting 2 games - which is more than I did from EA's and the presentation was better too. It could have been better of course - with more games of interest...
I thought it was excellent. A bit surprised to see a general "meh" reaction on here.
It was well-humoured, didn't drag on too long, all the announcments are coming this year and the trailers were impressive imo. And I say that as someone who isn't really a fan of many of the Bethesda titles.
I can't understand the need for a conference in this situation. I mean, the games they showed were a handful and they could have just released trailers for them and be done with that.
I understand the notion of continuing the annual E3 conferences but I don't think they had enough to show at a major conference.
Worst than EA, which is something remarkable.
Meh
I never really got into the Wolfestein games before, but the trailer for the new one looks awesome. That comes out on my birthday! It kind of looked and reminds me Bioshock in a way. Not necessarily the gameplay but the atmosphere of the game. The VR games looked cool but I don't have VR and I'm not really planning on shelling out the money to get it either. I never played Dishonored but it looks cool. I thought the presentation had a cool feel to it with the amusement park theme and the opening video.
I wanted to see DOOM2 but Wolfenstein 2 is more than enough and this year as well could be a busy end of year for me game wise for the first time in ages
@dkxcalibur of you haven't played New Order or Old Blood give so a try next time there on sale usually around £4 both great games
@GlynCR Those games are on my "ever growing" list of games to play!
