The PS4 was unveiled last night — did you miss it? Don’t worry, we’ve got your recap. In an event that stretched on for hours, Sony showed off the Playstation 4 for the world to see, even if it didn’t show what the physical console itself looks like.
Amid Sony’s hype, bold promises and the claims of the PS4’s inevitable superiority were a number of game demos, conceptual trailers and more from both first- and third-party publishers. Look below for every clip you may have missed, or wish to re-watch, from last night’s event.
“Killzone: Shadow Fall”
Sony’s premier first-person shooter, the fourth installment of “Killzone” follows in its predecessors’ footsteps, looking to be a continued spectacle of explosions, iron-sight gunplay and a seemingly never-ending stream of Helghast.
“Watch_Dogs”
Ubisoft’s new IP stole the show during last year’s E3 conference, and it may have done the same for Sony’s PS4 reveal. On display was what Ubisoft claimed was an example of the emergent gameplay offered by its new open-world effort. “Watch_Dogs” is a confirmed PS4 launch title.
Quantic Dream’s tech demo
Perhaps the most impressive display of the PS4′s graphical power, “Heavy Rain” developer Quantic Dream unveiled just a taste of the tech it’ll be using for future PS4 projects.
“Deep Down”
Capcom’s latest IP looks like a mix between its own “Dragon’s Dogma” and the “Dark Souls” series, serving as a fantasy-focused showcase for the company’s new engine, code-named “Panta Rhei.”
“Destiny”
Bungie, now a third-party developer after leaving Microsoft and the “Halo” franchise behind, confirmed Wednesday that not only will upcoming FPS “Destiny” be on the PS3 and the PS4 (on launch at that), but the game will feature exclusive Playstation content.
“Infamous: Second Son”
The third entry in Sucker Punch’s “Infamous” series, “Second Son” appears to take a break from series star Cole MacGrath in favor of a new protagonist, one with a decidedly more political focus.
“The Witness”
The long-awaited successor to the indie darling platformer “Braid,” Jonathan Blow’s “The Witness” looks like a “Myst”-inspired next-gen offering, one that Blow promised would be a lean, mean puzzle-focused machine.
“DriveClub”
Instead of tantalizing racing fans with another installment in the “Gran Turismo” series, Sony revealed a new racing game with a focus on social integration.
“Knack”
The very first game unveiled at Sony’s conference, “Knack” evokes the character-based titles like “Crash Bandicoot” and “Spyro” that helped fuel the first Playstation’s success.
And finally, Sony unveiled a trailer for the PS4 itself:
