News PS4, PS3 Versions of Grand Theft Auto V Get a New Radio Station in July
The Lab
The Lab, a Grand Theft Auto V radio station that was PC exclusive, is coming to consoles next month. It consists of songs from the game's original soundtrack, but remixed and repurposed by a slew of musicians from a variety of genres. Basically, if you've ever wanted Freddie Gibbs and Wavves on the same station, this is for you. We're big...
News Sony 'Really Wanted' That Call of Duty: Black Ops III Deal with Activision
Destiny deal helped as well
Whether you realise it or not, Sony teaming up with Activision for Call of Duty: Black Ops III is a big deal. It marks the end of a partnership between Xbox and Activision that lasted nearly an entire console generation, it probably cost Sony a fortune, and – while it won't necessarily guarantee the Japanese giant the...
News Sony: PlayStation TV Is Hard to Explain
Live and learn
PlayStation TV was always an odd product; it was very niche in its capabilities, but never did anything particularly well. It's no surprise, then, that the peripheral sold rather poorly. Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony's Worldwide Studios, seems to agree with us. "It didn't capture the consumers' imaginations," the executive...
News Sony: We Aren't Making Vita Games Because of Consumer Expectations
Say what?
Don't hold your breath for any big budget PlayStation Vita games. Sony stopped seriously supporting the handheld long ago, but its executives are getting to a point where they're so blunt it hurts. Speaking to Game Informer, Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida said that the real reason the Vita isn't being supported is because...
E3 2015 Sony's Been Borrowing Ideas from Oculus, Says Yoshida
Both products will be launching "very, very soon"
Sony's biggest fear for Project Morpheus isn't that it will be outdone by the Oculus Rift; rather, the company is more concerned that virtual reality may never catch on. That's according to Shuhei Yoshida, the president of Sony's Worldwide Studios, who spoke to Polygon earlier today. "We know each...
News Here Are the Dates for E3 2016
Prep time
Have you enjoyed watching trailers, reading impressions, and debating video games all week? Good! Now that this year's E3 has come to a close, you can get ready to do it all over again in 2016. Next year's expo will, as always, be at the Los Angeles Convention Centre, and will take place from 14th June to the 16th. Thanks to Geoff Keighley...
E3 2015 Just Cause 3 Sets the World on Fire 1st December
Grappling hooks and explosions: the video game
Just Cause 2 was good, stupid fun. It's only fitting, then, that Just Cause 3 should take that same absurdity to a new level. This is looking to be a big release for Square Enix – it was the first game the publisher showed off, and representatives seemed keen to stress that they're standing firmly...
Map packs will be coming to the PS4 first
After a partnership that lasted an entire console generation, Activision has broken ties with Xbox to team up with Sony. Of course, Call of Duty: Black Ops III is still coming to the Xbox One, but all of the game's DLC will hit the PlayStation 4 first. Treyarch had some fast-paced gameplay to show off as...
E3 2015 Horizon: Zero Dawn Is All About Killing Giant, Mechanical Dinosaurs
And it's a PS4 exclusive
We've known that Horizon was in production for about a year now, but actually seeing Guerilla Games' new IP in action has shown us that it very well may be a big hitter for the PlayStation 4. It's clear that Sony has faith in the project, too, as it was the second game to be shown off during its press conference. After...
E3 2015 South Park: The Fractured But Whole Is Swearing Up a Storm on PS4
Pre-orders are available now
Bethesda did a great job kicking off its presser with some gory, gutsy footage of DOOM - but we think that Ubisoft may have taken the cake by pulling out Matt Stone and Trey Parker. The comedic duo took to the stage to announce that last year's South Park: The Stick of Truth will be getting a sequel, which will delve...
E3 2015 Unravel Is a 2D Platformer With a Touching Story
EA's Wooly World
Jokes were abundant throughout EA's presser, but as a clearly nervous developer pulled a doll made of yarn from his coat pocket, we seriously contemplated turning off the stream - thank goodness things picked up once some gameplay was shown. Unravel looks pretty great, to be frank. What we're dealing with, it seems, is an artsy...
E3 2015 Yes, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 Is Coming to PS4
Developer is aiming for a Spring 2016 release
Not much of a surprise, this one. PopCap Games already hinted at a sequel to Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare a while back, so we were expecting to see something at E3. The title made its appearance during Microsoft's conference, which makes sense - as you may
E3 2015 Dishonored: Definitive Edition Sneaks onto PS4 This Fall
All the DLC and some snazzy visuals
The rumours are true, turns out. After showing off the likes of Dishonored 2, Bethesda announced that a new-gen Definitive Edition of 2012's Dishonored is coming to the PlayStation 4 this autumn, or fall, for you Americans. It was a rather brief announcement, however, as tonight's focus was clearly on new games...
News Take-Two Isn't Interested in Yearly Releases, Says CEO
Strauss Zelnick strikes again
Strauss Zelnick is back. Yes, the mythical CEO of Take-Two Interactive is starring in yet another Push Square article. We've been through our fair share of ups and downs over the past few weeks: from the executive denying that Grand Theft Auto V was ever supposed to get story mode DLC to his saying that the
E3 2015 Harmonix Shows Off Rock Band 4's Box Art, Says to Stay Tuned to E3
Rock on
We're running out of time, folks. In mere hours Push Square's offices will have been thrown into pure madness. This year's E3 is looking to be especially busy, with developers increasingly keen on releasing snippets of news earlier than they're supposed to. Thanks a lot, guys. Seriously, though, E3 is keeping us pretty busy right now. We're...
News Dying Light, Mortal Kombat X, and The Witcher 3 Push Warner Bros to the Top Publisher Spot
Batman: Arkham Knight should keep the momentum going
Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment is taking the spot of top dog in the first half of 2015, according to The NPD Group. Thanks to the likes of Dying Light, Mortal Kombat X, and the more recent The Witcher 3, the company has risen to be the top-grossing US gaming software publisher of 2015 thus...
News Castlevania Successor Bloodstained Sets a Record on Kickstarter
$4.75 million raised so far
Upcoming PlayStation 4 and Vita title Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has become the most funded video game in Kickstarter history, ushering in over $4.75 million as of this writing. With 12 hours left, it's looking like the project will absolutely smash through its final stretch goal of $5 million. If (when) it hits...
News Renting Games Through PlayStation Now Is Expensive in the UK
But Sony says its pricing model may change
PlayStation Now has officially moved on to the paid beta stage in the UK, where prices are, well, a bit pricey. Renting PS3 games costs £4.99 for two days or £9.99 for 30 days, and with the same timing options of two days or 30 days, you're looking at paying either £2.99 or £7.99 for PSN titles. Just a...
News The Order: 1886 Maker Is Planning a Multiplatform Future
Developer wants to build, own, and publish its own IPs in the future
The Order: 1886 was met with a mixed reception, and seeing as we haven't heard a whisper about its sales, we're guessing that it flopped at retail, too. It's not an enormous surprise, then, that developer Ready at Dawn now wants to release games on more than the PlayStation 4...
News Payday 2: Crimewave Edition Breaks into the PS4's Library
More skills, new skill system, twice as many characters
Starbreeze Studios had a hard time putting out updates for Payday 2 on the PlayStation 3 – the hardware was a decade old, after all. But now the developer is finally getting around to releasing a PlayStation 4 version of the game, which will include more than a handful of new additions to the...
News Bungie Raised Over a Million Dollars for Nepal's Earthquake Victims
With the help of fans, of course
Back in April, Bungie announced that it would be selling Destiny t-shirts with codes for in-game shaders and emblems to support victims of the recent Nepal earthquake, which took the lives of nearly 9,000 people. The turnout was more than anyone could have hoped for, though, as it was announced today that it managed...
News Be a Piece of Bread in I Am Bread on the PS4
Are you bready?
Games like Journey and Shadow of the Colossus have redefined art. Others, such as Grand Theft Auto V, are technological marvels. Developers tell beautiful, compelling stories through episodic releases like Life Is Strange and Telltale's The Walking Dead. And then there's I Am Bread
News Take-Two Boss Says PS4 Hasn't Hit Its Full Potential
Greatness awaits
Things are only going to get better for the PlayStation 4 – or at least that's what Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick had to say at the 43rd Annual Technology, Media, and Telecom Conference in New York this past week. "We have yet to see entirely what the technology can allow," the executive said, talking about Sony's new gaming...
News Mega Man 8 Will Be Coming to the PlayStation Store Next Week
Only in North America, though
You know your game has awful voice acting when even your PR guys make mention of it. Yes, the infamous dialogue of Mega Man 8 is making its way to the PlayStation Store on 27th May, along with the rest of the game. There's no word on a price just yet, but if past trends are anything to go by, it'll probably be under...
