A show of their own

A show of their own

In all the years of E3, there has never been a dedicated PC Gaming show. But this year, E3's first ever PC gaming press conference happened, giving PC gamers the chance to see the future of the most versatile gaming platform all on one stage. The lengthy presser featured guests like PC hardware manufacturer AMD and announcements from developers like Blizzard, Microsoft, and Bohemia Interactive. Not bad for the first go.

Did you miss out on the show? Well, no need to worry. We watched the whole thing and summarized all of the most important news items, game announcements, and guest appearances in this handy recap. Check out the following slides for everything from E3 2015's PC Gaming Show.

Killing Floor 2 to get enhanced gut physics, free content pack

First up is Killing Floor 2, a zombie-filled shooter currently in early access. As with any early access game, you can expect a stream of updates and new features, and Killing Floor 2 will get an enhanced physics system which increased the blood spray and intestine count immensely. When zombies blow up, guts will go flying everywhere and flop around realistically - you know, as guts do. All players will get a free content pack as well, with new weapons and maps.

Ion will feature a Diablo-style camera

DayZ creator Dean Hall described his newly-announced space game Ion by saying it has an isometric camera, similar to Diablo, and it's more about what happens on space stations than ship-to-ship combat. He likened it to the sci-fi multiplayer SpaceStation 13.

Gameplay demo of Strafe shows off what a procedurally generated version of '90s Doom looks like

Strafe looks like the raddest game from the '90s that never got made. Levels are procedurally generated, and they're filled with chunky pixels, rock monsters, loads of ludicrous gibs.

Enter the Gungeon reveals co-op mode

Enter the Gungeon reveals co-op mode

As fans of shmups like Ikaruga, the devs of Enter the Gungeon want to take that thrill of the bullet hell and apply it to a dungeon-crawling rogue-lite. And two players can work together dodge, duck, dip, dive, dodge and shoot together. Along the way, you'll unlock new items (like one that wipes all of the bullets off the screen) and weapons (like one that is basically a giant electric arc beam that plays happy music when you use it).
