Everything you need to know

Everything you need to know

The conference has wrapped, the trailers have been revealed, and 2015's PlayStation Experience is officially underway. Sony showed off a bunch of great looking titles from developers both big and small, with a heavy focus on its upcoming virtual reality platform, PlayStation VR. Oh, and we got to see the first gameplay footage of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. So that was awesome.

If you missed the two-hour-long conference, don't worry - we've got a full rundown of the biggest highlights and surprises from the show. Read on to get the scoop.

Nathan Drake reunites with his older brother

Nathan Drake reunites with his older brother

The PlayStation Experience conference opened on a new video for Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. Nathan Drake is pushing papers and burning the midnight oil, and hears a knock at the door. He opens it to discover his older brother, alive and well, and the relationship appears to be strained. The two have a long conversation on the waterfront, and you'll actually get to choose from a selection of dialog options.

First footage of the Final Fantasy 7 remake emerges

We all expected the Final Fantasy 7 remake to look gorgeous, but this is something else. A mix of CGI and in-engine gameplay was shown in a new trailer. All of Midgar looks to be rendered in high-definition glory, and the battle system seems to be more in line with the upcoming Final Fantasy 15 combat engine. Characters have been redesigned a bit, too - like Barrett and his sweet new shades.

And if you can't wait to play FF7, you can download the updated PC port on PS4 today.

The Groovitron returns alongside new weapons like the Pixelizer in new footage of the upcoming Ratchet & Clank remake. It's looking really pretty, too, with cartoonish visuals making the leap to PS4 gloriously. The platforming and shooting remains familiar, but has been retooled to make for a new experience. It's coming April 12th.
