There's a lot to look forward to with the PS4 and even during the PlayStation Experience. Recently, the details of the PS4 SDK 2.0 has been released during the CEDEC presentation in Japan.

Dualshockers was able to gather a few information, one of which is that the new PS4 SDK 2.0 will be supporting some of the features of the recently released PS4 2.0 firmware update. Some of the more interesting additions to the PS4 is the enhanced image recognition and tracking features, which now features the libDepth and Vision Library.

According to the source, the libDepth utilises the two lenses of the PlayStation Eye camera to track the distance of an object from the camera. Hand tracking is the most common step, as it can also make use of multipoint tracking.

There's also the AR Dynamic Lighting, which now makes use of shadows and shading so that the object on the foreground does not stick out awkwardly in relation to its background. Sony has presented an easier way to execute this using algorithms to calculate the light source. There's quite a lot coming to the PS4, and some of these new technology may just be the beginning to realising the potential of Sony's next-gen console.

Sony is also using the PlayStation Experience to announce a few upcoming games for the PS4. The first is "Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series," which will be following a similar storytelling style and delivery as developer Telltale Games' "The Wolf Among Us" adaptation of "Fables."

The developer announced this over PlayStation Blog, where they also featured the first trailer, as seen below. "Game of Thrones" will let players control and take the vantage point of five members of the House Forrester, but the gamers will also be interacting with characters from the season. House Forrester is loyal to the great house of the North or Ned Stark's kin.

What's more, the actors will be reprising their roles in the game, some of which include Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister, Lena Heady as Cersei Lannister and Iwan Rheon as Ramsay Snow. "Game of Thrones" will be an episodic game with six episodes, the first of which is "Iron from Ice," and it will be made available for the PS4 and PS3 soon.

EA has also announced its lineup of games coming to the PlayStation Experience. Some of the titles that will be available in Las Vegas include "Battlefield Hardline," "EA Sports UFC," "NBA Live 15," Madden NFL" and "FIFA 15," all of which will be available for demos and hands-on. The awaited "Battlefield Hardline" will have 24 booths available for demos, with the multiplayer mode available for those who want to experience the high speed chase in the new Battlefield iteration.
