Sony clearly wasn&#8217;t holding anything back.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most exciting bit of gameplay was from <em>Final Fantasy VII: Remake<\/em>, having caused many a fan to cheer, and don\u2019t forget <em>Uncharted 4: A Thief\u2019s End<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Here are trailers that you need to pay attention to.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Uncharted 4: A Thief\u2019s End<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Sony opened the show with a trailer showing Nathan Drake reuniting with his brother.<\/p>\n<p>The trailer also showed off varying dialogue options, granting the player control over the conversation. It&#8217;s an interesting evolution to be sure.<\/p>\n<p>The trailer lacked any sort of action, but still managed to demonstrate that <em>Uncharted 4<\/em> is certainly worth the hype, thus far at least.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IOmPDvVz3MA\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Final Fantasy VIII: Remake<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We finally got to see gameplay from the <em>Final Fantasy VII: Remake<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Amalgamating cut-scenes, general gameplay and combat into one seamless experience, it was quite the trailer.<\/p>\n<p>One thing is for sure, it looks great.
