We got ourselves a bleeder

News Here's What You Can Expect From DOOM's Action-Packed Single Player Campaign
No guts no glory
DOOM's out in just a couple of days on PlayStation 4, so it's nice of Bethesda to release some new gameplay footage while we sit here waiting for our review copy to arrive.

Rumour Cancelled Open World Sci-Fi Title Prey 2 Could Be Revived at E3 2016
Close encounters
Those of you with good memories may remember a game called Prey 2, which was announced for the PlayStation 3 back in 2011. A sequel to the original Prey - a first-person sci-fi shooter - Prey 2 was supposedly going to be a pretty big deal; an open world action game in which you played as a bounty hunter, tracking down aliens and...
News Don't Expect DOOM PS4 Reviews Any Time Soon
Review code not being sent until launch
We're really looking forward to DOOM here at Push Square Towers, but if you're still sitting on the fence, then you may need to wait a little while for reviews. Bethesda has confirmed to IGN that it won't be sending out copies to critics ahead of release, because the title's online servers won't be switched on...
News Fallout 4 Far Harbor Trophies Emerge From the Deep on PS4
Let's have a look-sea
Due to release on the 19th May, Far Harbor is Fallout 4's first major expansion, and takes place on an irradiated island that's apparently one of the biggest add-on areas that Bethesda's ever crafted.

News DOOM's PS4 Launch Trailer Needs More Double Bass Pedal
Dub dub-dub-dub dub
Even as an avid Taylor Swift fan, this author readily admits that sometimes – just sometimes – one needs a little heavy metal in their life. This all-new DOOM launch trailer, with its squealing guitars and muddy basslines, is the perfect tonic to an afternoon spent listening to bittersweet bubblegum pop, then – but where's...

And a creepy new trailer
Far Harbor is Fallout 4's first big expansion, and it's out in just a couple of weeks. Emerging from its vault, Bethesda's unleashed the add-on's official trailer, which we've embedded. It's only a short video, but it seems pretty clear to us that Far Harbor's going to adopt a darker tone compared to the main game...

News Fallout 4 Survival Mode Set to Irradiate PS4 Next Week
Pack those stims
After a long wait, Fallout 4's revamped survival mode will be coming to PlayStation 4 next week, Bethesda estimates.

Third person camera also improved
Fallout 4's survival mode is finally out of its own beta and, er, into another. The new mode is available right now on PC as part of the game's 1.5 update beta - and that means a console version of the patch can't be far off. If we had to guess, we'd say that it'll probably be available to download within the next...
DLC Review Building Deathclaw Arenas in Fallout 4: Wasteland Workshop on PS4
Are you not entertained?
Unlike Automatron, Wasteland Workshop, Fallout 4's second slice of downloadable content, doesn't feature any quests, stories, or new characters. It's very much an add-on pack in both name and nature, providing you with a load of new settlement crafting options and not much else. However, for its relatively low price tag,...
News You Can Get Your Oily Hands on Fallout 4's New DLC Starting Tonight
Crafty
Fallout 4's second downloadable offering, Wasteland Workshop, is due to release on the 12th April - but as with Automatron, you'll actually be able to nab the add-on when the clocks strike 12:00AM tonight. That's midnight across Europe, taking into account respective time zones, and midnight EST in North America. In case you haven't been...
News Fallout 4 Named Best Game at 2016 BAFTA Game Awards
The wanderer returns
In case you missed all the chest-thumping on social media, the 2016 BAFTA Game Awards were held earlier tonight. Fallout 4, Bethesda's latest open world blockbuster, staggered out of the nuclear haze clutching the show's most prestigious award - probably much to the disappointment of editor Sammy Barker, who'll no doubt by...
News Bethesda's Already Hyping Its E3 2016 Showing
Dishonored! Fallout! The Elder Scrolls!
Surely it's not time to start thinking about E3 2016? We suppose it's just over two months until the big show now, which means that we're pulling out the Push Square oxygen masks in preparation for any impending panic attacks. Bethesda, it seems, is not really bothered about the encroaching nature of the...
News DOOM PS4 Open Beta, Post-Release Plan Revealed
Should make the game a little beta
DOOM, the next iteration in the original FPS franchise, is getting an open beta from 15th April to 18th April, which will contain the Team Deathmatch and Warpath – a king-of-the-hill-type mode in which the target territory moves around in a circular pattern – modes as well as the Heatwave and Infernal maps...
News A Fresh Fallout 4 Patch Has Snuck onto PS4
Weighs in at 2.4GB
There's a new update out for Fallout 4 on PlayStation 4 - but don't get excited just yet.

Apparently, the patch adds in Trophy support for the upcoming add-on, Wasteland...

Working the wasteland
Fallout 4's second slice of downloadable content, Wasteland Workshop, will add a ton of new settlement options to the open world game.

News Here Are the Full Details on Fallout 4's Survival Mode
Wasted in the wasteland
Fallout 4's incoming survival mode is sounding more and more like a rather drastic gameplay overhaul as opposed to a new difficulty setting.

News Fallout 4's Far Harbor Expansion Sounds Bloody Massive
Making waves
Fallout 4's already stuffed with content, boasting one of the most dense game worlds that we've seen in quite some time - and it sounds as though it's about to get a heck of a lot bigger. The game's third piece of downloadable content, titled Far Harbor, is set to be a more traditional expansion, introducing a fresh location that...
Review Fallout 4: Automatron (PS4)
Robots rock
Fallout 4: Automatron is a logical step for a game that puts so much emphasis on its expansive crafting system. Allowing you to build and customise your own robotic partners, Fallout 4's first add-on has the potential to breath some new life into a dusty old save file, but don't expect its main quest line to keep you occupied for more...
News Sony Revokes Free Fallout 4 Season Pass Purchases on PS4
Understandable
You win some, you lose some – but you've always got to try. Sony accidentally listed Fallout 4's pricey Season Pass for free late last week, leading many to believe that they'd nabbed all of Bethesda's post-release content at a complimentary fee. However, it's since revoked access to the DLC, so you'll need to stump up if you want...
News Fallout 4's Survival Mode Isn't Too Far Off on PS4
Best stock up on InstaMash
Fallout 4's overhauled survival mode was confirmed weeks ago, but it's still yet to scavenge a concrete release date.

Basically, it's going to make the game more of a...

Fallout 4's first slice of downloadable content, Automatron, is set to launch tomorrow on PlayStation 4, but Bethesda's revealed that European vault dwellers will be able to get stuck in as early as midnight.

News Fallout 4's First DLC Looks Crazy, Launches Next Week on PS4
Gotta build 'em all
Automatron is shaping up to be the perfect excuse to jump back into Fallout 4, and we have to admit that we're intrigued by the add-on's official trailer. Judging from the clip, a lot of effort has gone into the main element of the download: robot customisation. The video shows off a load of different ways to build your...
News Fallout 4's Automatron DLC Comes Equipped with 5 New Trophies
Risky robotics
Bethesda still hasn't issued an official launch date for Fallout 4's first slice of downloadable content, but we know that it's due to release this month.

News Fallout 4's New PS4 Patch Preps the Game for DLC This Week
Atom bomb baby
Update 1.4 for Fallout 4 will arrive on PlayStation 4 this week, according to Bethesda. The patch doesn't do anything overly exciting - unless you're a fan of making Super Mutant settlements - but it at least paves the way for the game's upcoming downloadable content. The first add-on, titled Automatron, is still set to launch at some...

Lucky bugger
You may recall that back in December we reported on a big opportunity for players of The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited. Basically, if you hopped online for a spot of adventuring over a certain period, you'd be automatically entered into a prize draw to win $1 million. A tempting proposal indeed. And hey, someone's only gone...
News Don't Like DOOM's Crap Box Art? You Can Vote for a Better Design
Blown away
So, DOOM's box art is shite. We've said it, you've probably said it, and the Internet seemed to ramble about the issue for days on end – but now, there's a beacon of hope. The official DOOM Twitter account wants you to vote on a reverse cover for the upcoming shooter, and there are two available options. Option A is a bit arty, but...

News DOOM Should Run Like a Bloody Dream on PS4
"The best-looking game at 1080p, 60fps"

News Fallout 4's Survival Mode Takes Things Way More Seriously
It's a tough old world
If you haven't already heard, Fallout 4 is getting a survival mode in a free update relatively soon.

Nevertheless, Reddit's data mined some more...
News Todd Howard Says Fallout 4 DLC Is 'Pokémon-Esque'
Gotta scrap 'em all
Who doesn't love an easily exploitable quote, eh? Speaking to Game Informer, Bethesda creative director Todd Howard has spilled a little more information on Fallout 4's upcoming downloadable content. As you may already know, three add-ons have been announced so far: there's Automatron in March, the Wasteland Works
News Fallout 4 Mods on PS4 May Be Arriving This Summer
A rough estimate from Todd Howard
Mod support for Fallout 4 has been a big talking point - especially when it comes to us console players. How will they work? Will they be limited? How long will we have to wait?

Meat bags, anyone?
Fallout 4's getting some new content courtesy of update 1.4, which has just entered the beta phase on PC.

These items aren't your average bits and pieces though - most of them take inspiration from the lairs of...

According to Todd Howard
Fallout 4's back in the headlines recently following the game's downloadable content reveal, and Bethesda creative director Todd Howard seems adamant to keep people talking about the studio's latest release.

News Fallout 4 Developer Bethesda Has Three New Games in the Works
A glimpse of the future
It certainly seems like Bethesda is expanding as a developer if creative director Todd Howard's words during a DICE talk are to be believed.

News Fallout 4 Finally Drops a Bomb with DLC Details
Custom robots, taming monsters, and big expansions
Bethesda's finally opened the vault door on its downloadable content plans for Fallout 4, and to be honest, they sound pretty interesting. The open world adventure will be getting three confirmed slices of DLC in the relatively near future, with more coming further down the road. However, we should...
News Fallout 4's Season Pass Is About to Get Pricier on PS4
Start counting your caps
Hmm. Either publisher Bethesda's doing us a brilliant favour, or it's trying to convince more people to buy Fallout 4's Season Pass before reviews for the content spill out. Either way, it's announced that starting from 1st March, the price of the pre-purchase will increase from $29.99 (£24.99) to $49.99 (£39.99). That's a...
News DOOM's Single Player Campaign Will Last You 13 Gory Hours
Better grab some ammo
We'd like to think that publisher Bethesda is on a roll with the shooters that it's got under its umbrella these days. Much like 2014's Wolfenstein: The New Order, it would appear that DOOM is going to provide a rather meaty single player experience. The news comes from the title's official Twitter account, where, in reply to...
News You'll Starve and Get Diseases in Fallout 4's Survival Mode
You asked for it
Fallout 4 is a funny game, isn't it? This author enjoyed his time with it enough to unlock the coveted Platinum Trophy, but looking back it's hard not to feel a little disappointed. For many people, that dissatisfaction set in right from the off, due to the sequel's watered down Survival Mode. Fortunately, developer Bethesda has...

News The Latest Bug Busting Fallout 4 Patch Is Now Available on PS4
The fixer
How many fixes can you fit into a 506MB patch? We couldn't tell you the answer to that, but Fallout 4's going for a record with its latest PlayStation 4 update. The patch was expected on Sony's home console last week, but clearly it was delayed. Update 1.3, as mentioned, features an absolute ton of bug fixes, big and small. It also adds a...
News The Internet Reckons DOOM's PS4 Box Art Is Bad
And, for once, the Internet is right
In concept, DOOM couldn't possibly appeal less to this author's tastes. For starters, it's more heavy metal than the doodles on a teenage misfit's pencil case, but it's also one of those games where the shooting's only ever going to be the draw – we're not expecting anything in the way of story at all. Despite...
