It seems that Sony’s planned gamescom 2014 surprises have been let out of the bag early, now that the Internet has gotten hold of a list that briefly appeared on the tech giant’s event page. What’s so notable about this leak doesn’t have anything to do with a previously unannounced triple-A title or anything like that, though; instead, fuss is being made over the fact that indie darling Journey is being ported over to the PlayStation 4, along with other notable PlayStation 3 downloadables.
Not only will Journey make the jump from last-gen to current-gen, but ports of Pix the Cat, Hustle Kings and The Unfinished Swan also seem to be in the works. They’ll be joined by a multitude of other games at the convention, including big guns like The Order: 1886, Destiny and Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes, as well as Pixeljunk-related Nom Nom Galaxy and PS Move spook show, Until Dawn.
The word surprise should be in quotation marks, because we were previously told of Sony’s plans to refresh some of its classics, so that those who are new to the brand will be able to experience them on its latest black box. Journey for PS4 was also outed — either by accident, or accidentally on purpose — by developer thatgamecompany last October.

I’ll be honest and admit that outside of a demo at a holiday event, I’ve yet to really play Journey. I’d been meaning to pick it up, but never got around to it, so this news is welcomed on my end.
