UPDATE: While no new GT Sport or PSVR information was shown at during Sony’s press conference – or indeed, any racing games – stay tuned for more GT Sport news from the show floor later this week.
Microsoft started things off this morning, unveiling things like a new, more powerful Xbox, as well as Forza Horizon 3, amongst other new titles. Now, it’s Sony’s turn, with the live stream starting at 17:30 PST (convert to your timezone here), and they’re sure to be presenting a lot of tasty newness themselves.
PS4 Neo may not be making an appearance, but if anything, that helps Sony to focus on their strengths: a long list of exclusives, and the upcoming PlayStation VR. Gran Turismo Sport will be featured after its E3 trailer was released on Friday, and hopes are high for it to be shown working with Sony’s new headset.
With the noticeable updates to the game between the London event last month and the latest trailer, we can’t wait to see what other improvements may await us on the show floor tomorrow.
Just like Microsoft, Sony has also enabled their current-generation players to watch the whole event unfold from their system.

The girl is smoking hot and by far the best thing I’ve seen.
The trailers take second place to her. End of story…………………………………
I have to say however, that Sony’s presentation is killer. Well done very classy and powerful.
Still the woman wins HANDS DOWN……LOL She is gorgeous.
I managed to get registered for the simulcast here in ATL (It was at the Regal Hollywood 24 off of I85). We got ~70 minutes of the presentation then a Sid Shuman clip that said: be sure to go to playstation.com/e3voucher and enter the code on your “VIP” card (we got a plastic cup, with a lanyard in it (blue, sony e3) and a card clipped to the lanyard). He then did a brief rundown with graphics of the stuff that will get you.
Among the list was a 100k credit for GT Sport.
So while the presentation wasn’t showing new GT, it was not totally forgotten.
After I put in the voucher code (the form included an email box) in, it said it would email codes for the tchotchkes over the next few weeks.
Me? I’m just waiting for my PS VR and GT Sport pre-orders to be filled.
Oh, and the release date for PS VR moved up from 10/31 to 10/13.
Some new gameplay from E3:

Thanks for the link. I must say it looks and sounds brilliant.
I can’t wait to have this game.
Agreed… looks good. Seems like we are getting better videos than previous ones. And in this video, shows a different car in the replay…. didn’t look like the same. Maybe a few cars ahead of the original race?
Gran Turismo not even covered. End of the road I guess.
E3 is still going on all week, this was just the first dose!
Ooh.
An update addition to the news item.
Hope is not all lost yet. :)
In less than 4 months we will be playing on Sony VR headsets. Cool…(I ordered mine in March)
A few interesting looking games until November and GT Sport.
I will be dumping Sony in xmas 2017 though if they dont make a 6Tflop console. Will then get a Scorpio and Rift like device. So a year and a half Sony have got to make plans for a 2nd gen Neo in 2017, or a 3rd gen PS4 if you like. New consoles out every year I call. It is actually possible, and it’s not crazy either. You don’t have to buy one every year, it’s your choice. Industry says they would love to match the mobile phone market of yearly updated models of new hardware.
Specs =/= good games, just saying.
Absolutely straight to the point E3 showcase none of that boring interview stuff. So many games to choose from, Sony by far had the best show. PSVR is on point, Resident Evil 7 looks bananas.
Just Wow.
Here’s the scenario.
Person ‘A’ wants to buy a new console.
Having trouble deciding which one to buy.
Watches 2016 E3 to help inform on their decision.
Call me a fanboy, or any other internet cliche.
SONY’s presentation killed Microsoft/Xbox’s.
If someone made a decision to buy an XBox watching those two presentaions, they either have the proverbial for brains, or their preference in video games for 2016 is far, far different than mine.
Wasn’t even curious about MS’s conference. SONY all the way. Unfortunately, they spent so much time on the indie stuff and hyping Kid of War that a lot of games got pushed off into a brief glimpse during trailers. I want to know about those 75 GAMES! The ones I saw were outstanding. I was even impressed by that dinobot game I still don’t care much for, Horizon? And I didn’t expect to see Kojima-sensei there! It seems he took the pieces of Silent Hills and Reince Preibus – oh wait, that nekkie actor guy – tossed it in a cauldron, and made something unique out of the concoction!
In my eclectic and oddball mental collection, I’m going for
– Resident Evil 7. Looks fascinating. It and Fallout are the only zombie games that interest me.
– Detroit. Writing about future slavery is right up my alley, so this is a must have.
– No Man’s Sky. ‘Nuff said.
– Crash Bandicoot remasters. Got to love that shadow effect on stage!
– Death Stranding. Woah… very Matrix and with Reince Preibus – darn it, what is that guy’s name?! ;D
– Call Of Duty. Gee, I want them both.
And I think there’s a glimpse of some new racing game there.
I might just get a PS4 this summer, and give it to my autocrossing relative when I snag a Neo this fall. And PSVR. Shame we can’t use an Occulus Rift, but the price is friendlier.
Kaz, this week, BRING IT!! ;D
Nah, you gotta have a look at what the other side is doing. :)
XBox has had some pretty decent E3’s so it’s always woth checking out.
As I say, this year wasn’t really for me.
Oddly, as an old guy with fairly specific tastes, there was almost no game SONY presented that I wouldn’t be happy pressing ‘start’ and checking out.
And that more than anything was what grabbed me the most.
When I saw the video cassette on that clip, I called out Resident Evil.
Couldn’t believe it actually was. :D
Awesome presentation from SONY.
Just bummed after listening to the orchestra all presentation, that they didn’t start playing Moon over the castle. :(
I don’t think I really care for the suggestion that someone has to have something wrong with their brains to want to buy an Xbox after the presentation. People can have different opinions from you, no need to insult.
I was impressed with the number of games Sony showed, with the rapid-fire approach better-suited to my tastes than the talky MS event. But MS showed off a lot of gamer-friendly changes to their system, and the continued push of cross-play is a good one. Sure, it’s likely due to them being on the back-foot this generation, sales-wise, but it does improve things for gamers, so that’s a win in my books.
In terms of driving games, well, Sony showed nothing. So the floor opening up tomorrow will be our first real E3 look at anything in the genre for the PS4.
“I don’t think I really care for the suggestion that someone has to have something wrong with their brains to want to buy an Xbox after the presentation. People can have different opinions from you, no need to insult.”
That’s a fair call.
I over-stepped the mark with that comment.
Happy to retract that sentence.
No excuses.
As you say, XBox showed many new features to the console and XBox Live.
SONY had nothing to say on that front.
I di watch the XBox presentation with a positive attitude.
And there were things I thought were good.
But as for showing games, I find it hard to compare the two presentations.
GT Planet, because Jordan knows what matters ?. Here’s to GT Sport giving a good show ?
so i just finished watching the stream…there was no gran turismo….at all…nothing…no trailer….no announcements…no vr….nothing
and i just wasted two hours of my life
The trick to enjoying GT in its current state is to not expect too much but enjoy what you get when you get it.
I just hope it’s worth staying up all night for.
Watched the XBox presentation, which was okay I guess.
Not much there for me though truth be told.
Too much FPS, zombies and Indies.
FH3 was cool though.
Hoping SONY presentation isn’t full of Indies.
Nothing against them, but not really my thing.
GT Sport and FFVII Remake please.
It certainly looks like they’re using the pre-show to get the indies covered now.
We should all thank the GTPlant crew for doing such a wonderful job with all the crazy coverage at E3 this year…and even before E3 aswell. Great job guys and thank you !!
Jordan has created a marvelous home for us Gran Turismo fans. And quite a few people that make me scratch my head…
But to heck with human nature, this is what I’ve been waiting a year for, and I’m so happy GT Planet gives us a virtual couch to flop in and enjoy all the gaming goodness. For millions of us around the world, Playstation isn’t just the platform for Gran Turismo, but literally thousands of games over the past twenty years that constitute the best game library ever, with franchises you can’t find anywhere else. I have my popcorn and am ready to feast my eyes and soul.
Thanks, guys, I know the team appreciates the compliments.
Well said!
I don’t post much, but read most of everything and don’t know where I’d be without gtp!
Thanks Jordan and gtplanet!
Can’t wait for the inevitable bitching and moaning!
^I second this!!
Boy howdy, I can. I wish there was a grouch filter. ;P
Are you talking about here or Twitch?
Sometimes this place makes me twitch. ;D
But yeah, here.
Notable updates between the London demo and the trailer? I thought it’s quite the opposite, the trailer showed almost nothing new if you watched the stream.
