It's a late one - or an early one, depending which side of dawn you're most comfortable with - but Bethesda's conference this year should be worth it. We have a fair idea of what's going to be shown, with a new Wolfenstein, some more on Dishonored 2 and the re-emergence of Prey 2, but seeing it all for real will be quite something else. Join us from 3am BST when it all kicks off.

Our live coverage of this event has finished.

00:12 am UTC Well hello hello hello. I've just got into our Brighton office, having fought my way through what passes for nightlife here at 1am on a Monday morning. Martin Robinson 00:12 am UTC I wish I had some of what they'd been having, as it might make staying up 'til 3am for the Bethesda conference a little easier. Martin Robinson 00:12 am UTC We'll have our team out in LA at the event itself, while here in Brighton we're just going to play Overwatch another hour or so before getting stuck in. Martin Robinson 01:08 am UTC Well done for still being awake! So, we've heard quite a lot about the Bethesda line-up, notably that there will be a Skyrim Remaster for PC, PS4 and Xbox One; there will be The Evil Within 2; there will be a new Wolfenstein: New Order game; and that there will be Prey 2. That's on top of the promised Dishonored 2 world premiere. Robert Purchese 01:12 am UTC Our Ian Higton tells us he's in a long and non-moving queue for Bethesda's conference in LA. "It's ridiculous," he said. Hot take. Robert Purchese 01:27 am UTC

rep-: I wonder if the Brighton guys are still awake;p

YES I'M AWAKE I was just resting my eyes

Oli Welsh 01:30 am UTC Time for another energising game of Pocket Card Jockey. Oli Welsh 01:42 am UTC

rep-: Bethesday Triva Time - How many bugs did we ship Fallout 4 with?

*applause*

Martin Robinson 01:47 am UTC Right, 13 minutes to go. Let's coffee up and power through. Martin Robinson 01:48 am UTC This godawful pre-show isn't helping things though. These guys.... Martin Robinson 01:51 am UTC Chris Avellone is in the audience! He's Tweeting about it. HE MUST BE MAKING A NEW FALLOUT FOR THEM or maybe he's just at the show. Robert Purchese 01:52 am UTC Wet trivia can only mean one thing, right? Martin Robinson 01:57 am UTC So, it's coming up to 3am - so excuse any tardiness or tiredness over here. But has this conference started? Martin Robinson 01:58 am UTC Right now we have Morgan Webb and Adam Sessler playing Fallout 4. Martin Robinson 01:58 am UTC I think I'm going to reach for the hipflask. Martin Robinson 02:03 am UTC Johnny: "A guy on the right of the screen has Starbuck's wedding tattoo from Battlestar Galactica." NERD Oli Welsh 02:03 am UTC

Badb0y: is this the show?

No, this is the "preshow". They're running late.

Oli Welsh 02:09 am UTC The most exciting thing happening right now is that chap in between Adam and Morgan who keeps changing his t-shirt. Martin Robinson 02:09 am UTC In fairness, it's probably more exciting than anything that happened during EA's conference. Martin Robinson 02:12 am UTC r u ok happycramper Oli Welsh 02:13 am UTC I'm so tired and confused I'm not sure if this weird pre-show that's going through last year's show is all some very dull hallucination. Martin Robinson 02:15 am UTC Nipplewatch: Harvey Smith is already prepping his for onstage later on. Martin Robinson 02:16 am UTC It's been a big show for nipples so far today after Peter Moore's brazen bumps under that black shirt during the E3 conference. Martin Robinson 02:16 am UTC After all that, I think we're finally ready to go. Martin Robinson 02:17 am UTC I can't let Sessler's tie, suit jacket and jeans combo go without comment though. The shame of it! Martin Robinson 02:17 am UTC This, though, is what we stayed up for. Bethesda's E3 2016 conference is go. Martin Robinson 02:18 am UTC With what looks like a new Quake. Martin Robinson 02:19 am UTC Yup, I'm intrigued. id did such a bang-up job of Doom I'm well up for anything new from them. Martin Robinson 02:19 am UTC Quake Champions - Tim Willits is on-stage to tell us more. Martin Robinson 02:20 am UTC Like Sessler, he's got jeans and suit jacket. Martin Robinson 02:20 am UTC But - and here's the knockout - there's a v-neck t-shirt as well. As someone just pointed out, it looks like he's put a suit over his pyjamas. Martin Robinson 02:21 am UTC Quake Champions is PC only, it seems. A competitive arena shooter. Martin Robinson 02:21 am UTC Will it be better than Doom's MP? Martin Robinson 02:21 am UTC And why is there a reason Willits is hiding his nipples under that jacket? Martin Robinson 02:22 am UTC There'll be more on this at Quakecon in August. Martin Robinson 02:23 am UTC Pete Heinz everyone! Martin Robinson 02:24 am UTC

evilashchris: no nipples here either :C

For some reason I'm pretty sure they'd be pierced.

Martin Robinson 02:26 am UTC Hearthscrolls is now taking up its allocated slot during the conference. Martin Robinson 02:27 am UTC More specifically, the *story* for Hearthscrolls is taking centre stage. Martin Robinson 02:27 am UTC Well, it would be if the stream didn't just die. We're back up again. Martin Robinson 02:27 am UTC Ian Higton is our man in the auditorium who's able to fill us in during these dead moments. Martin Robinson 02:28 am UTC

rep-: I think it is Mr Higton screaming in the audience.

He does have a super distinctive scream.

Martin Robinson 02:29 am UTC And, Legends is coming to iPad and mobile and whatnot. Martin Robinson 02:30 am UTC

evilashchris: roman polanski

Oh god, yes!

Martin Robinson 02:31 am UTC Contraptions, which introduces new building stuff, is out next week. While Vault-tec, which allows you to build your own Vault, is coming this summer. Martin Robinson 02:31 am UTC And, finally, Nuka World, which is due this August. Martin Robinson 02:32 am UTC Todd is now teeing up the Skyrim remaster. Martin Robinson 02:32 am UTC And there it is - a quite splendid looking makeover for one of Bethesda's best-loved games. Martin Robinson 02:33 am UTC New snow shaders, new water shaders, god rays, mods on console. Martin Robinson 02:33 am UTC 26th of October release for the Skyrim remaster. Martin Robinson 02:33 am UTC The real deal now - Arkane is about to take to the stage to show off Dishonored 2. Martin Robinson 02:34 am UTC And, maybe, Prey 2. Martin Robinson 02:34 am UTC More exciting, though, is getting to see what's going on with Harvey Smith's nipples. Martin Robinson 02:35 am UTC Before then, though.... Martin Robinson 02:36 am UTC A pre-rendered trailer for what looks like a very different Prey 2. Martin Robinson 02:37 am UTC Or, as it's simply called now, Prey. Martin Robinson 02:37 am UTC A deep psychological bent, it seems. Martin Robinson 02:37 am UTC Curious to see how much, if anything, has survived from Human Head's take on the game. Martin Robinson 02:38 am UTC Which looked pretty good, back in the day. Martin Robinson 02:38 am UTC Arkane's Prey will be out next year on PS4, Xbox One and PC. Martin Robinson 02:39 am UTC Curious about them keeping the Prey name, too - surely it comes with more baggage than anything, and I'm not sure how valuable it is to a wider audience. Anyway, the premise looks good - even if we can't tell much about the game from the CG trailer. Martin Robinson 02:39 am UTC Doom's Multiplayer DLC is now being detailed - this is all being done in-house at id now. Martin Robinson 02:40 am UTC There are new modes coming for free to all players - and the first premium DLC is coming next month, introducing three new maps. Martin Robinson 02:41 am UTC Hey everyone! I finally got enough signal in the Bethesda conference to log onto the live text. It's hot in here. Ian Higton 02:41 am UTC This is lovely - you can now download the first level of Doom for free on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Martin Robinson 02:41 am UTC It's a demo - or, in old man's speak, shareware. Martin Robinson 02:41 am UTC If you haven't played it, please do. It's probably the best game I've played so far this year. Martin Robinson 02:42 am UTC Some horrible, horrible cheering for The Elder Scrolls Online. Martin Robinson 02:43 am UTC Lots of love for the ESO crabs in the audience. Ian Higton 02:44 am UTC

adamantium: big, big fan of original dishonored. is 2 this fall or 2017?

I believe it's this year. Hopefully we'll find out for sure shortly.

Martin Robinson 02:45 am UTC I don't think I can take this woman screaming much longer. And I'm not even in the auditorium. Martin Robinson 02:46 am UTC Anyway, Elder Scrolls Online, for those of you that care. Martin Robinson 02:46 am UTC Hello... Anyone? Martin Robinson 02:46 am UTC Hi. You. Martin Robinson 02:46 am UTC There's Dark Brotherhood DLC coming later this year. That should keep you happy. Martin Robinson 02:47 am UTC Ian's going to see if he can politely tell her to shut the hell up. Martin Robinson 02:48 am UTC Is that Pete Hines' mum doing the screaming? Martin Robinson 02:49 am UTC Blink 182? I might just bail now... Ian Higton 02:49 am UTC Blink 182 are playing after the show, Hines reminds us. The screaming woman, for once, is silent. Martin Robinson 02:50 am UTC There's a VR experience for those in the audience at the event. Martin Robinson 02:50 am UTC Doom is one of the games. Martin Robinson 02:50 am UTC And Fallout 4 in VR too. Martin Robinson 02:50 am UTC Fallout 4 in VR?! 3 people just fainted. I was one of them. Ian Higton 02:51 am UTC And... Fallout 4 is coming to HTC Vive. Martin Robinson 02:51 am UTC Someone's got the memo to that woman and she's piped down a bit. Martin Robinson 02:52 am UTC We're about to wrap up, but before we go here's a look at Dishonored 2. Martin Robinson 02:53 am UTC More importantly, let's have a look at Harvey's nipples. Martin Robinson 02:55 am UTC Not so much a demo as a flythrough of levels within the game. Martin Robinson 02:57 am UTC I guess they're keeping gameplay back for, well, when we've got the game in our hands. Lovely water effects, though! Martin Robinson 02:58 am UTC I could be wrong, though - this could just be a long, long build-up to something proper. Martin Robinson 02:58 am UTC And here it is, in all its glory. Martin Robinson 03:00 am UTC Emily and Corvo both playable, both offering different perspectives on the story. Martin Robinson 03:01 am UTC I think Harvey's nipples are playing up, he's beginning to look a bit uncomfortable. Martin Robinson 03:03 am UTC

ubergine: What did I miss? Had to free the cat from something she'd trapped herself in. Damn, long talk about Dishonored 2 today.

You missed some long talking about Dishonored 2. We're into the real meat now, though.

Martin Robinson 03:05 am UTC

cheriruonavar: Have they talked about The Evil Within 2 yet? That's all I came here for really.. Saw this trending on FB.

A no-show, and unless something drastic happens I don't think it's going to be announced tonight.

Martin Robinson 03:09 am UTC I'm still very excited for Dishonored 2. I don't know if it's just the fact that it's 4am, or the complete lack of energy in this presentation, but this is doing very little for me at the moment. Martin Robinson 03:09 am UTC It does look *gorgeous* though. Martin Robinson 03:10 am UTC We do have a release date - and I think this was already known - and it's going to be November 11th. Martin Robinson 03:11 am UTC

AmicableWalrus: I wonder if there is still a moral component attached to the play style. This guy is just slitting throats with abandon.

I'm sure there will be. I't just that the softly softly approach doesn't play so well on an E3 stage, sadly.

Martin Robinson 03:13 am UTC Grungey covers of classic rock = the new dubstep. Always nice to hear a bit of Mac though. Oli Welsh 03:13 am UTC Our first look at the gameplay trailer, which features a Fleetwood Mac cover. Martin Robinson 03:13 am UTC Not of The Chain, though, for shame. Martin Robinson 03:14 am UTC

rock27gr: I want to know what this song is

Fleetwood Mac's Gold Dust Woman. I feel bad for knowing that, but I'm kind of old.

Martin Robinson 03:15 am UTC God it's getting light out. Martin Robinson 03:15 am UTC So let's bow out with Blink 182. Martin Robinson 03:16 am UTC

rock27gr: Cheers Martin. I'm guessing this is a cover?

Yup, I'm afraid I don't know who's done the cover!

Martin Robinson 03:17 am UTC We are wrapping there. We'll be back tomorrow, hopefully with a little more energy. Martin Robinson 03:18 am UTC Microsoft kicks off at 5.30pm, and we've got a full evening of conferences all the way up to Sony at 2am. Martin Robinson Load more comments Loading
