In addition to individual studios, the event was attended by major publishers such as Sony and Microsoft. The first even organized a conference lasting more than an hour and a half, in which the participants were already shown previously announced games, as well as completely new projects that the world saw for the first time. I will try to briefly tell you about what Sony showed us at its conference.

The Sony conference traditionally began with an impressive screen saver on a huge panoramic screen.

On the scene came the president of Sony Computer Entertainment of Europe, Jim Ryan. He greeted all those present in the hall, recalled that this year the very first console of the PlayStation family turned 20 years old and moved to the demonstration of new games. First of all, the audience was shown a zombie mode from the game Call of Duty: Black Ops III, which is called - Giant Zombies.

After this in the hall, the music from the Star Wars, which was familiar to all from childhood, played. New trailer Star Wars: Battlefront showed us the cult characters of Khan Solo and Luke Skywalker, as well as the villains of the Emperor and Darth Vader, whom we can meet in the game.

Came the fighting games. On the scene came the creator of Street Fighter V and introduced a new playable character, which became the Indian Dhalsim. The game will go on sale exclusively for PS4 and PC as early as February 16, 2016. At the start, a roster of 16 characters will be available, and 6 more characters will be added within the first year after the release.

The author of the Tekken series has risen on the stage and announced the release of the seventh part, which is already available on arcade machines, on the PS4 console. Of course, the game will also be released for Xbox One, but exclusive content will be available to PS4 owners. A pleasant surprise was the fact that developers are experimenting with virtual reality and the game will support the PlayStation VR headset.

Studio Gearbox showed a video from his new game Battleborn. The open beta starts exclusively on the PS4 very soon.

Another clone Minecraft called Boundless. I wonder how many more clones of this designer we will show in the coming years?

A very beautiful adventure game Gravity Rush 2 will allow you to learn how to manipulate gravity.

Developers from the studio Naughty Dog for the first time showed the world the multiplayer from the upcoming game Uncharted 4. It's a bit mad and filled with unexpected solutions, but nevertheless it looks pretty fresh and exciting.

The amazing Dreams creator from Media Molecule Studio will allow you to not only pass the surreal levels created by the developers, but also create your own dreams. Beta starts in 2016.

On the stage came Shuhei Yoshida and began to showcase projects for the virtual reality set PlayStation VR. The first to us showed the game Rigs. This is a team shooter in the first person, where people move around the level on rather quick humanoid robots.

Based on the horror story of Until Dawn, about which I told you recently, a railless VR shooter Until Dawn is created: Rush of Blood. While relatively little is known about the game.

The president of the studio Crytek came on the scene and showed us his VR-game Robinson: The Journey. It will first become available to the owners of PS4 consoles and only then it will be released on other platforms.

Remake of the old Battle Zone game for virtual reality will allow you to remember your childhood.

According to Shuhei Yoshiba, at the moment more than 200 developers are creating new games for the PlayStation VR, so we will not be bored for sure. Not so long ago I already told you about this amazing headset, which I managed to try out personally within the framework of IgroMir 2015. Let's hope that its price and release date will be known in the near future.

Quite unexpectedly Kazunor Yamauchi, the father of the legendary series of autosimulators Gran Turismo, appeared on the stage. He introduced the audience to his new game GT Sport. It will be a mix of simulator and almost full-fledged championship, in which each player represents his own country or a specific car manufacturer. Winners of the championship once a year will receive real cups, just like the famous racers. The beta test of the game will begin in 2016. Yamauchi also noted that his studio Polyphony Digital is working on supporting the PlayStation VR in the game.

The famous game designer Michel Ansel reminded us of his Wild project. This is exclusive for the PS4 console, in which the player acts as a shaman, communicating with nature and deities. The gameplay itself seems very attractive to me. But look at the game yourself.

Head of the French studio Quantic Dream David Cage stepped onto the stage and reminded us of the technological demo Kara, which appeared on the web in 2012. Since then, this video was watched by 27 million people. Let's remember it together (Russian subtitles are attached):

Kage said that he was often asked - what happened to Kara after she left the factory? We can learn about this from the plot of the new game Detroit: Become Human. Of course, this is the exclusive PlayStation 4 console, the demonstration of which was completed by Sony's press conference.
