On Monday, Sony kicked off its E3 by reiterating at its press event that the company is committed to indie titles; and also claimed that that there are 'big things' coming to the company's newest gaming console, the PlayStation 4 (PS4) in the near future.

Among the announcements which Sony made at its E3 press event was the disclosure that, later this year, Grand Theft Auto V will be available for PS4 in a graphically updated format.

With Grand Theft Auto V set to join The Last of Us in coming to PS4 in a graphically updated format, Sony said that the availability of two of the most popular 2013 titles will prove to be an added attraction for gamers who have not yet purchased PS4, as it will allow them to transfer their games from the PS3 or Xbox 360 version of GTA V to the new version.

Among a horde of other announcements, Sony asserted during the early part of its presentation that it remains committed to bringing indie, artisan and experimental titles to its gaming console. The company unveiled Pixel Opus' vibrantly-coloured rhythm gameEntwined, as well as Giant Squid's super-stylised underwater exploration game Abzu.

In addition, Sony also significantly focused on No Man's Sky, the incredibly ambitious online game from the small developer team at Hello Games. Sony said that the game will unfold a literally infinite sc-fi universe for gamers to explore and collaborate in.
