Sony, Microsoft Bringing Playable Next-Gen Consoles to San Diego Comic-Con Next Week

Every year, the San Diego Comic-Con packs the halls with thousands of attendees, whether it’s Batman fans, those Hall H attendees that will do anything to see their favorite celebrities or people who love a good opportunity to dress up.  This year, however, it’ll bring yet another ideal opportunity – the chance to play next-gen systems.

Sony announced that it will bring a number of playable PlayStation 4 games to the show next week, including Driveclub, Knack and Octodad.  In addition, you’ll also be able to check out a number of PlayStation 3 and PS Vita games, such as Batman: Arkham Origins, Beyond: Two Souls, Gran Turismo 6 and Killzone: Mercenary.

Not to be outdone, Microsoft will also have huge presence at the Comic-Con event.  The company will have playable Xbox One games on the show floor, including Killer Instinct and Ryse: Son of Rome.  In addition, a special suite will be open at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego, where you can check out other games like Dead Rising 3, as well as Halo 4: Champions Bundle and the mobile release Halo: Spartan Assault.  You can find more details about the panels and events here.
