The PS4 Shadow of the Beast reboot was announced at Gamescom

While Microsoft today revealed a comprehensive list of every Xbox One launch game, Sony's been doing things a bit more haphazardly.

We've yet to see a single unified list of PS4 launch titles, but Sony did reveal a slew of new ones during its Gamescom press conference earlier today.

In case you missed it, that was the presentation during which Sony revealed the PS4's release date as well.

So now that we know when you'll be playing on PS4, how about we explore what you'll be playing?

Update: Sony teased that Minecraft is heading to the PS4, and game creator Markus Persson later chimed in that the news was indeed true. The game should be available at launch, and it's a big win for fans of the game and the console alike. Not only that, but Minecraft will make its way to PS3 and Vita as well. Xbox One is still getting its own special edition of the game, but Sony isn't letting its rival have all the blocky fun.

Making PlayStation history

At Gamescom, the PS4's lead system architect Mark Cerny shared some of Sony's thinking when designing the console and its launch lineup.

"We knew that performance would be critical," he said, adding that the PS4 was designed to be 10 times more powerful than any console that's come before.

Software was also a focus, and "the result is the strongest launch lineup in PlayStation history," Cerny said.
