Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 47
Age of dragons
Well now, there are no shortage of new titles to talk about this weekend, are there? While we still can’t seem to convince associate editor Robert Ramsey to participate in one of these – he’s been playing Dragon Age: Inquisition as if it’s going out of fashion for days now – there’s plenty of variety from the rest of the...
Feature 15 Awesome PS4, Vita Indie Games That We Haven't Had Time to Tell You About Yet
Catch up
Not every indie game is amazing, but we very much appreciate the existence of the space. While this week has proven that blockbuster titles are not going anywhere – Grand Theft Auto V! Far Cry 4! LittleBigPlanet 3! Dragon Age: Inquisition! – we like to think of the smaller content as the palette cleansers that prepare you for your next...
Interview LittleBigPlanet 3's Stellar Soundtrack Is Already Winning Awards
Prize bubble
Sony’s last major release of the year, LittleBigPlanet 3, is a real gem, dragging Media Molecule’s do-it-yourself series into the future with a laundry list of tweaks and improvements. It’s already winning awards as well, as composer Winifred Phillips has received a Hollywood Music in Media Award for one of her contributions to...
Guide Grand Theft Auto V PS4 Trophy Guide & Road Map
Platinum standard walkthrough
Grand Theft Auto V may be a re-release, but it just so happens to be the biggest PlayStation 4 game of the year – both in terms of content and commercial clout. Only the most committed criminals will unlock the title's Platinum Trophy, which demands both skill and dedication. Fortunately, we've prepared some tips to...
Guide How to Make Massive Amounts of Money in Grand Theft Auto V PS4
Get rich quick
What good is life if you haven’t got a tennis court in your back garden and a fleet of sports cars stored in your garage? Money is what makes the world go around, and while it’s not exactly easy to earn stacks of it in real life, there are no pesky laws in Los Santos – well, none that you need to abide by anyway. While it’s...
First Impressions Coming Home to Grand Theft Auto V on PS4
The city of sinners
There’s nothing quite like coming home – or so they say. In truth, this editor has spent the last couple of decades living in the exact same sleepy city, so wouldn’t really know what it’s like to return after several years away – but we imagine that it’s a little like playing Grand Theft Auto V on the PlayStation 4...
Push Rewind Assassin's Creed Unity, Bugs, and PS4's Birthday
The king of wishful thinking
A big belated apology – we’re a good 24 hours behind the times with this edition of Push Rewind. Unfortunately, yours truly was busy last night, but we didn’t want to let all of last week’s big stories slip through your net like a bug in Ubisoft’s quality assurance department. As such, your usual programming...
Out This Week Grand Theft Auto V PS4, LittleBigPlanet 3, Far Cry 4, Dragon Age, WWE 2K15
Oh em gee
Hold onto your hats and wallets everyone, because this is the week that you’ve been waiting for. It’s been a disappointing year in general for gaming, but the penultimate Tuesday before Thanksgiving may yet redeem everything. Vying for your attention from tomorrow in North America are a handful of teensy titles, including Grand Theft...
Round Up Grand Theft Auto V PS4 Reviews Extort Super High Scores
Franklin amazing
We already know that Grand Theft Auto V is amazing, so there was never any real danger of it deploying on the PlayStation 4 with poor review scores – unless, of course, it winded up being broken like every other major next-gen launch of late. Fortunately, that doesn’t appear to be the case, as critics are already pinning high...
Talking Point What Are Your PS4 Launch Memories?
Rose-tinted glasses
Circumstances have made this week deadly negative on Push Square, so we’re looking to inject a little more positivity into proceedings by remembering the PlayStation 4’s launch. It’s been 12 months since Sony dropped its next-gen system onto store shelves in North America, and we’ve decided to bring our team together in...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 46
Everybody loves good Neighbours
We’re in the eye of the storm. Next week marks the release of the last few big holiday titles, and then it’s back to relative silence until the New Year. As such, this is another condensed issue of WAYP from our staff’s point of view – but we bet that you’ve got lots to talk about in the comments section...
Round Up Far Cry 4 PS4 Reviews Scale the Highest Mountains
Ghale of a time
With the fallout caused by Assassin’s Creed Unity still very much fresh in everyone’s memory, there’s a little extra pressure on Far Cry 4 to not fall foul to the horrible flaws that plagued Arno Dorian’s inaugural adventure. Fortunately, that doesn’t appear to be the case, as Ubisoft’s second holiday sandbox has scored a...
Talking Point Is This Gaming's Most Disappointing Ever Year?
Down for the count
If this is next-gen, then we wished that greatness would have waited until it was ready. We were going to pen this article a little later in the month – the release schedule is still stacked with several other blockbuster titles – but with the Assassin’s Creed Unity saga still a sour taste on the industry’s lips, we’ve...
Feature Four of Assassin's Creed Unity's Most Gloriously Ghastly PS4 Glitches
Temp scar
No one deserves to be singled out for their appearance, and Ubisoft clearly believes passionately in that sentiment. Recognising that the Hunchback of Notre Dame has been persecuted for centuries based on his unusual exterior, the French firm has decided that the ugly individual deserves some company – and so these Assassin’s Creed...
Video How's the Latest Beta for The Crew Faring on PS4?
Rocky road
Words are overrated. We were going to pen a big lengthy article on The Crew’s most recent PlayStation 4 beta, but that takes time to both write and read. Instead, we figured that we’d show you how we’re getting on with Ubisoft’s latest racer. As you can see, things are going just great. [ Subscribe to our YouTube channel for...
Out This Week Assassin's Creed Unity, PES 2015, LEGO Batman 3
Arno what I want
There’s no time for restin’, as the PlayStation release calendar is as stacked as ever. Taking top billing this week is Assassin’s Creed Unity, but it’s not exactly got the spotlight to itself – LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, PES 2015: Pro Evolution Soccer, and Tales of Hearts R are all worth a
First Impressions How Well Does Assassin's Creed Unity Actually Run on PS4?
Not quite a revolution
We're still working on our full review of Assassin's Creed Unity, but with all of this speculation as to how the game actually looks and runs on the PlayStation 4, we thought that it'd be a good idea to put forward a report on the matter. We're a reasonable way into the sandbox adventure, and by this point, we reckon that...
Round Up Assassin's Creed Unity PS4 Reviews Plot a Revolution
Paper tigers
Well, it wouldn’t be a new Ubisoft title without a bit of controversy, would it? Assassin’s Creed Unity has ruffled feathers for all of the wrong reasons over the past six months, with pundits complaining about everything from the game’s lack of female characters all the way through to those infamous parity comments. Along the...
Round Up Dragon Age: Inquisition PS4 Reviews Stand Trial
Truly the age of dragons
Dragon Age: Inquisition, the hotly anticipated fantasy role-playing game by BioWare, has been poked, prodded, and pushed to its limits – with critics assigning a score to the title after giving it a thorough onceover. We haven’t finished our first run through the gigantic title yet, but just so you know whether it’s...
Video Watch As We Recap October's Best PlayStation Games
Off the rails
New music, new games, new video – it’s Game of the Month time. Again. Already. Despite the fact that these come around bloody fast, we’ve got a corker lined up for you today. Watch on as we pick a new backing track in realtime, watch cat robots quaff boiled eggs, and, er, publish silly pictures of an alien with an afro. See you...
Talking Point Should SCEA Prepare More Official PS4 Bundles?
Premium packages
Sony’s strategy in Europe with the PlayStation 4 appears to revolve around releasing as many bundles as it can possibly muster. This enthusiasm for big box sets has bordered on parody at points, with Germany landing a gigantic hardware set including Killzone: Shadow Fall,
Game of the Month October 2014 - Alien: Isolation
It's behind you
Here at Push Square Towers, we reviewed a mighty 38 titles in October, and, for the most part, they've given us plenty of enjoyment. 7s rained down from the gaming heavens, and there were plenty of 8s to shout about, too. Now, however, we're into the industry's busiest month, with blockbuster after blockbuster strutting onto the...
Push Rewind Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Grand Theft Auto V, Uncharted 4
Showtime
This week was all about the blockbusters, as we spent most of our time solving a global crisis in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. That wasn’t the only big game absorbing our attention over the past seven days, though, as Rockstar Games also made a series of announcements regarding the PlayStation 4 port of Grand Theft Auto V. Oh, and we...
Feature What's the Status of DriveClub on PS4 a Month After Release?
Car crash entertainment
DriveClub has undoubtedly been the biggest disappointment of the year. While you could make a case for the likes of Watch Dogs and Destiny failing to deliver on their pre-release hype, at least both titles launched in a playable state – the latter succeeding despite the entire gaming industry expecting
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 45
Hella good
The nights are drawing in, but we’re not letting that dampen our spirits here at Push Square towers. We’re currently right in the thick of the Christmas release season, so that means that, well... The majority of the team is too busy to pen a paragraph for WAYP. You’ll have to do make do with this truncated edition, then. Sammy...
Feature Miss the BioWare Roundtable? Here Are All the New Details on Mass Effect PS4
Sounds massive
The BioWare N7 day roundtable stream is now over, and although we basically sat through half an hour of developers rattling off their favourite Mass Effect moments for the sake of seeing several pieces of brand new concept art, we did actually manage to nab some new info regarding the next title in the series. For starters, new alien...
Poll Will You Be Returning to Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto V on PS4?
Baby, please come home
The year of the re-release has turned into an inevitable reality. This smug editor predicted that we’d be seeing plenty of ports during the PlayStation 4’s first year on store shelves, and between Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, Metro: Redux,
Feature Say Hello to Two of Sony's Aussie PS4 Indies
They come from the land down under
Sony loves indies. It’s a slogan which, for better or worse, has come to shape the Japanese giant’s business strategy in recent months. These smaller experiences have been used to plug holes in the inevitable first year software drought, while also seeing a mini-renaissance on PlayStation Plus’ Instant Game...
Feature What Are November 2014's Free PlayStation Plus Games?
Hungry for more
This editor has waited six long days for Sony to confirm November’s leaked PlayStation Plus selection, so the firm had to go and chuffing reveal it while we were chomping down on our Cumberland Pie, didn’t it? There’s no change to the roster that was accidentally announced last week, so don’t get your hopes up too high. If...
Out This Week Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, and More
War changes
After a short hiatus, Out This Week has returned to help you plan out your gaming time. This week is significant as it sees the arrival of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 – the latest instalment in Activision’s blockbuster first-person brand. We’re also due the pitter-patter of a fresh roster...
First Impressions What Does Dying Light Do to Resurrect the Zombie Apocalypse on PS4?
The freewheelin' mob killing
Dying Light finds itself in an odd position. With its last-gen version recently cancelled, and developer Techland touting a renewed focus on fluidity and polish, the parkour-‘em-up’s future feels slightly unclear. We recently went hands on with the title at PAX Australia, and – after being ushered
Push Rewind PS4 Firmware Updates, PS Plus Freebies, and Freedom Wars
Bumper edition
After a couple of slow weeks in the PlayStation Nation, this was a humdinger – especially for the PlayStation 4. Hotly anticipated firmware update v2.00 rolled out earlier in the week, and we had you covered every step of the way – even with the inevitable Rest Mode error that still hasn’t been addressed. It wasn’t all about...
Round Up Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare PS4 Reviews Look to the Future
Cloud Atlas
Compared to the months of pre-release hype that Destiny received, we can’t help but feel that Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is somewhat sneaking onto store shelves. The biggest gaming brand on the planet has taken a slight stumble in recent years, with the disappointing Call of Duty: Ghosts compounding a decline in annual sales...
Feature How Has the PS4 Fared in Its First Year?
Report card
It's been a funny first year for the PlayStation 4. Sony's next-gen format has smashed sales records all over the globe, but the positivity that punctuated the platform's launch has been replaced by an air of unrest over the past few weeks. The question is: has the system's success paved the way for the fickle to pick fault, or is the...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 44
Day disbeliever
Surely, surely it’s not WAYP time already? The clock on this writer’s PC toolbar says that it’s Saturday, but these articles come around so quickly that we’re struggling to believe it. That said, there’s Premier League on the television and we did spot James Martin on BBC One this morning, so we’re pretty confident that...
Push Scare Share Your Most Harrowing PlayStation Tales for Hallowe'en
Fear factor
The day that dentists around the globe detest has finally arrived, and you’re invited to a place around the Push Square campfire to celebrate Hallowe’en. Over the past five days, we’ve been posting about some of our favourite horror games, and we’ve covered a broad spectrum, spanning known quantities like Resident Evil and Silent...
Round Up Your Ultimate Guide to PS4 Firmware Update 2.00
Everything in one place
The release of PlayStation 4 firmware update v2.00 had a bit of everything: drama, excitement, and, of course, a spot of PlayStation Network downtime. Still, with the good ship Sony well and truly steadied, and all of our tutorials penned, we figured that we should milk this mahoosive operating system overhaul with one last...
Round Up Freedom Wars Vita Reviews Fight for a Shorter Sentence
Thorn in your side
Freedom Wars isn’t your average PlayStation Vita exclusive, as it carries the weight of the format’s future on its shoulders. While the handheld has played host to some pretty stellar games this year, it’s fallen short in the first-party department – and with Sony suggesting that it’s more or less ditching internal...
Feature What Do the PS4's First Free Dynamic Themes Look Like?
Spruced up
Sony may have introduced the ability for you to change the PlayStation 4’s background colour as part of PS4 firmware update v2.00, but it’s also added dynamic themes to the mix. While these aren’t available in North America or Europe at the time of typing, a couple of free animated backgrounds can be downloaded in Japan – and, if...
Talking Point How Does Sony Solve a Problem Like Xbox One Price Cuts?
Pricing predicament
Microsoft resembles a certain other green giant right now: you wouldn’t like it when it’s angry. While the Xbox One has been doing reasonably well over the past year, it’s been outpaced heavily by the PlayStation 4 around the globe – and that’s put the American company on the back foot. It’s not immensely surprising...
Push Rewind PS4 Firmware Update Dates, Ratchet & Clank Remake, and Reviews
Oh so quiet
We believe that this is what’s commonly referred to as the calm before the storm. Yes, it was still a relatively busy week in the PlayStation Nation – with PS4 firmware update v2.00 finally getting a date – but we’re days away from a software avalanche, so we've made the most of the break. Here’s everything that you need to...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 43
The fault in our stars
Regardless of whether you’ve had a good week or a bad week, it’s time to forget your worries, and get stuck in with some good old fashioned gaming. As has become more regular than a Mario Balotelli blunder, we’re back with another edition of What Are You Playing in order to kickstart your two days away from work. As...
Talking Point Do You Ever Stump Up for Season Passes?
Chump change
The so-called Season Pass has become the latest way for publishers to extract even more money from cash strapped gamers. What started life as L.A. Noire’s largely innocuous Rockstar Pass – a pre-purchase for several additional cases in the sandbox detective game – has, much like the Online Pass that preceded it, evolved into an...
Round Up Shadow Warrior PS4 Reviews Go for the Throat
Blades of steel
Shadow Warrior started life as a 3D Realms developed first-person shooter, so we can understand why your scepticism is already at an all time high. This PlayStation 4 reimagining by Polish developer Flying Wild Hog, however, aims to drag the original into the next generation – without forgetting any of the late 90s tropes that...
Out This Week Samurai Warriors 4, The Legend of Korra, Fluster Cluck
Cluckin' hell
And breathe again. After the downpour of new releases in October, we’re thankful for a week that doesn’t have quite as much stuff. Not that there’s an overwhelming lack of new PlayStation titles for you to plough through, with Samurai Warriors 4, The Legend of Korra, and the brilliantly named Fluster Cluck all vying for your...
Interview Will Tom Clancy's The Division Deliver on the PS4?
Massive expectations
Ubisoft sure knows how to make a splash. Tom Clancy’s The Division, much like Watch Dogs before it, dropped jaws at E3 2013, when it was announced for the PlayStation 4. The game – an open world third-person shooter with strong role-playing influences – not only promised to drag the industry into the next generation with...
Guide How to Extend the Cable Length of Your PS4 Camera
No DIY required
The PlayStation 4's camera sure is a nifty bit of kit: you can while away the hours in The Playroom or simply control your console with your voice. You can even play Just Dance 2014 with it if you're so inclined. One of the only downsides to this nifty tech is Sony's insistence on using a proprietary cable plug. Sure, it looks like...
Push Rewind PS4 Firmware Update 2.00, Grand Theft Auto V Bundles, NPD Sales
The evil within
Push Rewind is back from the dead ready to haunt you ahead of Hallowe’en. Actually, this editor was simply too busy to put together this regular feature last week, so unfortunately it had to lay low for a few days. Thankfully, we’re back with a vengeance this time – and with more reviews and features than you can shake a...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 43
Sweet talker
Like a particularly aggressive salesman, WAYP refuses to get out of your face. It only feels like a few days ago that this editor was compiling Issue 42, but already Issue 43 is here – we’ll be penning the Christmas special soon. Until then, it’s business as usual: we’ll tell you everything that we’re playing, and then open...
Feature What's New in PS4 Firmware Update 2.00?
Share Play, music player, themes, and more
Well, that was a short evening. This editor was just about to put his feet up, but Sony has released details regarding the PlayStation 4’s hotly anticipated firmware update v2.00 – and let us tell you, this is a real humdinger. It may be months in the making, but the software refresh – which was...
