The complete Bethesda livestream program at a glance. We now present the most important dates in more detail
Friday, August 28th
The live broadcast kicks off on Friday at 3:30pm BST (10:30 EDT). At 4pm BST (11am EDT) the Gamescom talks start over on their Twitch Channel. Pete Hines, thee Vice President and Head of Marketing at Bethesda will start the show with some developer interviews.
Then at 8pm BST (4pm EDT), the two technology magicians Billy Khan and Roman Hartung will talk shop about how to play Doom Eternal with insane 1,000 FPS (frames per second). During this conversation they will surely get anything but hot air: Khan works as a senior engine programmer for Bethesda, with previous work including titles like Halo Wars, Dishonored 2 and Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus. While Roman, also known as "der8auer" (The Farmer), works for the Berlin-based hardware distributor Caseking and is considered an overclocking luminary, which means he's able to crank up the GPU and CPU horsepower much more than what most gamers are used to, pushing hardware to their limits and beyond.
Under what conditions can Doom Enternal be played at 1,000 FPS? You'll get the answer in the Bethesda livestream on Friday August 28th
