The Biggest News from Sony's Paris Games Week Conference

Yesterday, Sony took the stage at Paris Games Week to update gamers and the media on their upcoming slate of titles and show off a few new games as well.

The most unexpected reveal was without a doubt Quantic Dream's Detroit: Become Human. Based on a 2012 short-film/tech demo, the game follows an android who leaves the factory where it was built.

Back then, creator David Cage said: "Kara" is not our next game. It's not the character, it's not the world, it's not the story. ...We do things in a very strange way here, things that have nothing to do with the games we make. 

Not much is known about the gameplay, but it should fall in line with Quantic's previous story driven efforts like Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls. This will be the studio's first effort on the PlayStation 4.

Another big announcement was the return of Gran Turismo. Sony's flagship racing sim has been quiet since the PS4's arrival; but it finally made its grand entrance yesterday in the form of Gran Turismo: Sport. The new title will be compatible with Sony's upcoming PlayStation VR headset, which will add a whole new level of immersion to the virtual driving experience. Look for a beta in early 2016.

There was another racing game at the show, but this one focuses on two-wheeled vehicles. Driveclub: Bikes is, as the name suggests, a new add-on to Sony's social centered racer. It's already available to play as either an expansion or stand-alone title.

Space exploration game No Man's Sky was also present at the show, though not in the way some had predicted. Creator Hello Games confirmed that the much hyped title will release in June 2016; putting to rest rumors of a possible flash release.
