The one where Sony disappoint us with something. I'm very excited.

I am confused.

It's the anticipated/expected/rumoured* (delete as applicable) reveal of their VR system!

No LiveStream ? They better have demoes in store.

Well it's a session at GDC so it'll be primarily aimed at developers, or those developers who have not had it for the past six months ;-)

Glad to hear you're back to normal...

Ah, I just want to see how it looks. Rumors about ping pong balls attached to visor (for tracking motion) sound too silly.

Lightbars I'd guess - assuming it's using an external camera to track those movements and not internal accelerometers.

No livestream - probably final look of the device is not ready or they are not sure that demos will go smoothly.

I expect true public unveil at E3.

Two games that will almost certainly make use of the VR; The Witness and Drive Club.

Hype.

Agreed. I adore driving games, and if they add more sim elements into DriveClub that definitely will be "VR system seller" for me.

As for Witness, I hope they will anounce more. There is so many slow-paced exploration/horror/puzzle FPS games out there now, almost all of them would be perfect for VR.

+ the obligatory Last Guardian in VR. *snort* *snort*

It seems my timing is perrfect again. My B3D star must be aligned with Sony's product launches.

Can't wait to see their first showing tomorrow morning (yes ?).

Event starts in 33 minutes.
