Sony’s PlayStation Access has published a new video showcasing a variety of montages from various Sony console games, revealing the evolution of the console makers graphic capability throughout the PlayStation brand history.

With a small dose of PlayStation 4 next-gen graphics, the montage looks back at each of the consoles graphical prowess, showing us just how far we've come from the classic Red Faction or Crash Bandicoot gameplay to titles like The Last of Us or Gran Turismo 6.

All this is ahead of Sony's Gamescom press conference, where they have revealed through their UK PlayStation Blog that eager fans can expect "a briefing to media on our release plans for PlayStation 4, as well as updates on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita." Hopefully we can hear an official announcement on the impending release of their next-gen console, but for now check out the video below for the nostalgic montage.
