Give us some stick
There’s no denying that the PlayStation 4 controller is an enormous step forward from its predecessor, but early reports did complain about a defect in the DualShock 4’s analogue sticks. While we haven’t encountered the issue ourselves here at Push Square towers, a not insignificant number of early adopters have reported...

E3 2014 How Does Minecraft Look on the PlayStation Vita?
A lot like Minecraft
Sony may have gone another E3 without really explaining how it attempts to revive the fortunes of its failing handheld format, but there was a PlayStation Vita killer app at its booth – the company just forgot to tell everyone. Assuming that it handles the release properly, Minecraft: PS Vita Edition has the potential to be a...
E3 2014 Sony Promises to Let You Know if The Last Guardian Gets Cancelled
Don't get in a flap
The Last Guardian has not been cancelled. Sony has reiterated on multiple occasions this week that the title is still in development, and it gains absolutely nothing from stringing fans along and lying about that fact. In fact, chatting with Polygon, affable executive Shuhei Yoshida h

Always together, forever apart
Entwined is the first game from new studio Pixelopus, a brand new addition to Sony’s Worldwide Studios network.

E3 2014 You Should Expect More PS4 Announcements at GamesCom and TGS
Sony's only getting started
Sony rarely shows its entire hand during a single press conference, and so you should already have expected it to make more PlayStation 4 announcements at GamesCom and the Tokyo Game Show later this year. However, in case you had any doubt, a jubilant Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida has hinted in an interview...

Feature Push Square's E3 2014 PlayStation Game of the Show - No Man's Sky
Sky's the limit
No Man’s Sky is not a reality television contestant, but it would make a darn good one if it was. Anyone that’s ever watched the X-Factor or America’s Got Talent will know that media mogul Simon Cowell adores a good ‘rags to riches’ story from time to time, and Hello Games’ ambitious sci-fi escapade is a shining example...
Rumour Is Sleeping Dogs Bringing Upgraded Kung Fu Fighting to the PS4?
No Wei
If a recent listing on online UK retailer ShopTo is anything to go by, an upgraded port of Sleeping Dogs may be on the way for PlayStation 4. The online store has the title touted to launch on 21st November this year, so if it is the real deal, we'll likely be hearing about it in the coming weeks. In truth, we think the open world epic is the...

E3 2014 Sony Says It Won't Ever Force Microtransactions into Its Games
Cough up
Microtransactions are a mainstay in the current console climate, but Sony says that it won’t ever shoehorn the contentious mini-payments into its games.

E3 2014 Everybody's Gone to the Rapture and Left This Trailer Behind
The end of the world as we know it
It’s been quite a while since we last got a glimpse of Brighton-based developer The Chinese Room’s forthcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture – and it looks like you may have to wait a little while longer for a proper look at the next-gen release.

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 29
Short and sweet
Stop the world and let us get off, because everyone at Push Square towers is pretty pooped this weekend.

E3 2014 PS4 Spin-Off inFAMOUS: First Light Fetches Some Snowy Locales
Bright and beautiful
PlayStation 4 spin-off inFAMOUS: First Light was always going to get a little overshadowed by the likes of Bloodborne and LittleBigPlanet 3, but that doesn’t mean that the standalone expansion isn’t shaping up extremely nicely indeed.

Before or after The Last Guardian?

Talking Point What Does E3 2014 Tell Us About the Future of the PlayStation Vita?
Handheld hysteria
Ask a non-gamer to yawn through Sony’s meaty E3 2014 press conference, and they’ll probably come away with the assumption that the Japanese giant is a single console manufacturer. Much like Microsoft before it, the PlayStation 3 barely registered as a blip during its media briefing, and the PlayStation Vita only obtained a...
E3 2014 Does The Last of Us Remastered Really Look Prettier on PS4?
TessFX
The Last of Us is arguably the best looking game available on the PlayStation 3, so it’s hard to imagine it looking much better. However, that’s exactly what Naughty Dog’s promising with its upcoming PlayStation 4 port of the post-apocalyptic escapade, The Last of Us Remastered. The big question is: will you be able to spot the...
E3 2014 Why Do PlayStation 4 Games Keep Getting Delayed?
Shuhei Yoshida speaks
Back when Sony announced the PlayStation 4, the platform holder declared that the system would offer an easy environment for developers to make games.

E3 2014 Sony Embraces PS4 Live Streaming with The Playroom's Set Maker DLC
Use responsibly

However, following the...
E3 2014 Free-to-Play MMORPG Kingdoms Under Fire II Brings Insanely Huge Battles to PS4
Begin the march
Massive multilayer online games — or MMOs — often create something of a predicament with the average gamer. Titles like Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn offer robust and polished experiences, but the thought of a monthly subscription fee is usually enough to turn many would-be adventures away. With the advent of the...
Poll What Was Your Favourite PlayStation Game of E3 2014?
Decisions, decisions
Retreads and re-releases have certainly been the theme of E3 2014, but that doesn’t mean that the colossal convention has failed to deliver on all of its hype.

Cool boarders
Sony revealed during its E3 2014 press conference that it would have a couple of new Project Morpheus demos on display at its booth, and one of them is called Street Luge.

Round Up What Happened During PlayStation's E3 2014 Press Conference?
The big one
It may feel like a distant memory now, but Sony’s big E3 2014 press conference only occurred a few days ago. Admittedly, we’ve been tardier than a London bus when it comes to getting a quality recap up, but, hey, it’s been a busy few days. A small delay is better than a big one, though, so just in case you missed anything from this...
E3 2014 Fight Alongside Your Favourite Characters in Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment
Immerse yourself
When it was announced that Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment was being released for the PS Vita this summer, the reveal lacked one major detail in particular, and that was the title's storyline.

E3 2014 Diablo III on PS4 Loots Popular PlayStation Properties
The Last of Us along for the ride

E3 2014 Grand Theft Auto V to Score Special Surprise if You Buy on PS4

E3 2014 How Much Better Does Grand Theft Auto V Look on PS4?
Night and day
We’d never proclaim to being graphical geniuses here at Push Square towers – after all, there are better sources for that.

E3 2014 How Does the PS Vita's Lineup Look?

Talking Point Why Is Sony Saving Its PS4 Reveals Until the Last Minute?
Let it cook
There was a sense of disbelief when LittleBigPlanet 3’s logo nonchalantly appeared on Sony’s sizeable E3 2014 press conference screen.

Release date still uncomfirmed
Free-to-play dungeon crawler Deep Down may not have been present for Sony's big E3 press conference, but rest assured, the Japanese giant hasn't forgotten about the game.

Naughty Dog expanding Drake's moveset
The teaser trailer for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End that was shown right at the conclusion of Sony’s E3 press conference earlier this week may have been stunning, but it’s ended up raising more questions than it’s answered. Sure, we can assume that protagonist Nathan Drake is a little ol
E3 2014 This 7 Minute Destiny Trailer Tells You Everything You Need to Know
Pick of destiny
Ever since its original reveal, it feels like developer Bungie has struggled to really describe Destiny.

E3 2014 Soak Up the Stunning Sights of Chile in PS4 Racer DriveClub
Wish you were here
Given the delay to PlayStation 4 racer DriveClub, it didn’t play a huge role in platform holder Sony’s big E3 2014 press conference – but that doesn’t mean that the Evolution Studios developed exclusive isn’t enjoying a sizeable presence on the show floor.

Ice cold
With the PlayStation 4 already tearing up the retail space, there wasn’t a whole lot for the platform holder to announce in the hardware department at E3.

Reaction Poor Pacing Disrupts Otherwise Excellent PS4 Press Conference
Up and down
For large chunks of last night’s PlayStation press conference, we really thought that Sony had learned.

E3 2014 Suda 51's New PS4 Exclusive Let It Die Is Brutal and Bizarre
Speaking words of wisdom
Distinctive auteur Suda 51 is about as divisive as they come. Indeed, the luminary's games either cause intense adoration, or confused and bewildered disgust.
