With Sony recently announcing a special event in NYC next month, you’d be forgiven for thinking the company’s presence at Gamescom would be minimal. You’d be mistaken, though: the German PlayStation blog released the full list of titles Sony is bringing to Europe’s biggest gaming trade fair, and it’s quite the collection.

Of particular interest are the two lists below:

PS4

  • Gran Turismo Sport
  • Titanfall 2
  • Destiny Rise of Iron

PlayStation VR

  • Batman Arkham VR
  • Battlezone
  • Bound VR
  • EVE Valkyrie
  • Farpoint
  • Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live
  • Headmaster
  • Here They Lie
  • Hustle Kings VR
  • The Playroom VR
  • Resident Evil 7 Biohazard
  • RIGS. Mechanized Combat League
  • Robinson: The Journey
  • Until Dawn: Rush of Blood
  • Super Stardust Ultra VR
  • Tumble VR
  • PlayStation VR Worlds

Since PSVR’s launch is two months away, it’s not surprising Sony will be pushing the VR titles hard at the event. Meanwhile, with GT Sport firmly listed in the PS4 category, those hoping to see any hints of the long-anticipated VR capabilities of the game will have to wait a little longer.

As mentioned in the title, GT Sport will be playable on 15 specially-designed racing setups at Gamescom. Fittingly, the German Nordschleife will be the featured track at the event.

WRC 6 Citroen DS3

Racers looking to get a little dirty will want to head to the PlayStation Truck section, where WRC 6 will be playable. This will be one of the first public opportunities for players to try out developer Kylotonn’s latest in the seri

We’ll have more news from the event when it kicks off, starting next Wednesday, August 17.

    Looks neat! Can’t wait to hear more! Too bad GT Sport won’t be in VR, though. That would be awesome!

    Even though I could have gotten a PS4 the day it was released, I waited until GT Sport was announced until I ordered one. I was really looking forward to a demo of GT Sport since my PS3 has broken and I really miss playing GT. But as that didn’t happen and GT Sport is still more than 3 months away, I finally got Project Cars to play something in the meantime.

    While I’m still getting used to PCars, I have to say that there are some things it gets right and a lot that it doesn’t. First, I think the engine sounds in PCars are really well done. GT Sport could learn a few things from that. However, the menus in PCars are not as polished, the replay videos are low quality and the car selection is nowhere near what GT Sport (or even GT6) will/has to offer.

    Hopefully GT Sport will be everything we all hope it would be because I miss me some Gran Turismo!

    Hope they show new cars and tracks or at least night racing. I would love see how much improvement they made with their night lighting.

    Been off the GTS hype bandwagon for the past few months. Maybe Gamescon will convince me to jump back on. Always an exciting few days in the gaming world.

    I find it strange that DriveClub VR is not showing! It was recently shown on a Sony blog and even Rushy33 made notice something was going on. So why on earth not showing the title?
