Yet more zombies, throwbacks, and far too much blood
Before you say it: yes, we know that this edition of Game of the Month is a bit late, but we've had video editor Ben Potter locked in the basement for about three weeks as we forced him to review Bloodborne. He emerged only yesterday, clutching his handwritten essay, and ranting about his...
News Y'shtola Points a Twig at Her Enemies in Dissidia Final Fantasy Trailer
Sonic bloom
Well, it wouldn't be a Final Fantasy game without out-of-place apostrophes and bunny ears: Final Fantasy XIV's awkwardly named Y'shtola is the latest Dissidia Final Fantasy character to get the trailer treatment. Alright, technically the Team Ninja release isn't a PlayStation 4 game just yet – but seeing as

Push Rewind Black Ops III, Bloodborne, and, Er, Atom Universe
Back in bland
T'was another pretty uneventful week on Planet PlayStation as publishers perhaps prepare to shut up shop ahead of E3 in a couple of months. Sure, there was the reveal of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, but it turned out to be one of those pithy reveals with a CG trailer and the promise of more information in the near future. Our biggest...

Store Preview Mortal Kombat X, We Are Doomed, Titan Souls
Picks of the week
Video game news may be proving more elusive than a politician that tells the truth, but at least there are plenty of new releases to look forward to. Sony's excellent Spring Fever is set to soldier on yet again from Tuesday, with cross-buy title Titan Souls part of the lineup this time. Meanwhile, those of you in North America can...

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 63
Lazy time
Another week, another edition of WAYP, another attempt at an "original" introduction. What Are You Playing This Weekend may be a popular feature here on Push Square, but by goodness, you try coming up with a new pre-amble each and every week. Perhaps we should hold some kind of competition for this – this author's fresh out of ideas...

Soapbox Sony Really Needs to Give Us More PlayStation Plus Cloud Space
Sammy Barker's sick of running out of space
There's one thing that you really need to know about me: I worry – a lot. For as long as I can remember, I've had irrational reactions to almost everything in my life: did I just put my modest size eight shoes in my mouth? Did I just get that exam question wrong – even though I've triple checked it...
News Call of Duty: Black Ops III Will Take Place in a 'Dark, Twisted' Future
Will be the deepest and most ambitious entry yet
It sounds like Call of Duty: Black Ops III will freeze out the Cold War roots at the centre of Treyarch's sub-series, taking the futuristic elements of Call of Duty: Black Ops II and running with them. A leaked blurb discovered on the franchise's official website reveals that the forthcoming sequel...
News Destiny's Upcoming Patch Will Let You Show Off Your Helmet in the Tower
Hooray, we think?
Bungie's revealed a few little features that'll be added to Destiny in its upcoming patch 1.1.2, including the ability to toggle your helmet on and off while running around the Tower. Indeed, you'll be able to show off your headpiece in the shooter's social space if you wish, via a handy little menu option. On top of that, you'll...
News The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's New Gameplay Trailer Is One of Its Best
Everything you need to know
Without doubt, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is going to be a massive role-playing game, with numerous gameplay systems and mechanics tying into one huge open world full of danger and discovery. It's safe to say that we're looking forward to seeing how it turns out, then, but if you're still not totally sold on CD Projekt...
News Farming Simulator 15 on PS4, PS3 Looks Udderly Essential
More than meats the eye
Manure so demanding. Every time new information on Farming Simulator 15 crops up, the thresher's on for us to come up with a new set of gags. The problem is that we just don't have anything gnu – all of our best puns have already been put out to pasture. To be honest, we feel like we're just milking things now, so we're...
News New Dissidia Final Fantasy Screenshots Show how Cloud, Lightning, and More Might Look on PS4
Yes please
A new Dissidia Final Fantasy is smashing into Japanese arcades – we know that much for sure – but there's an increasingly decent chance that it'll end up on the PlayStation 4 as well. As such, it's easy to get excited over how the game looks, assuming that it gives us some indication as to how its cast would shape up on Sony's home...
News Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Vita Will Rear Its Ugly Head This Summer
Claire we go
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is one of the surprise releases of 2015 so far, serving up a slice of survival horror that's both spooky and self-aware. With the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 versions already wrapped up, though, we had been starting to ponder where the promised PlayStation Vita edition had got to; fortunately, SCEA's Gio...
News It Looks Like the New Dissidia Final Fantasy Will Bring the Fight to PS4 Eventually
Team Ninja's developing
We've known for a little while now that there's a new Dissidia Final Fantasy in the works, but it's only been confirmed for release in Japanese arcades. This currently remains the case, but thanks to an ongoing Japanese press conference, we'd dare to think that it'll end up on the PlayStation 4 eventually. Why, you ask?...
News Want a Post-Apocalyptic RPG on PS4? The Technomancer May Be the Answer
Mars attacks
Spiders, the studio that created decent action role-playing game Bound by Flame, is currently working on a new title called The Technomancer, which is apparently a post-apocalyptic RPG set on Mars. It's supposedly releasing on PlayStation 4 at some point next year. All we know right now is that there'll be skill trees, and you, as a...

News Konami Fired Hideo Kojima, According to Voice Actress
!
Veteran video game visionary Hideo Kojima was fired by Konami, according to Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes actress Donna Burke.

Review Scram Kitty DX (PlayStation 4)
You think dogs and cats fight rough? The mice have lasers
Having started life as a Nintendo Wii U exclusive – where it was peculiarly named Scram Kitty and His Buddy on Rails – this clever indie platformer/shooter has made its way to the PlayStation 4 and Vita, shortening its name to the slightly-less-confusing-but-still-delightfully-quirky...
News LEGO Dimensions Brings Bricks to Life on PS4, PS3
As expected
As has been rumoured for a little while now, Warner Bros is building its way into the potentially lucrative toys-to-life business.

News Call of Duty: Black Ops III Reveals What the Numbers Mean This Month
Activision announces next instalment
Call of Duty: Black Ops III is official, and will be fully revealed on 26th April.

News Tell This Person What You Want in PS4's Next Firmware Update
It might just make the grade
Sony's done decently enough in the PlayStation 4 firmware update department – Suspend/Resume is a Godsend – but it does seem to take its time between patches. This makes it extra frustrating when your most demanded feature doesn't make the shortlist, as you know that it's going to be a while before the functionality...
News This Certainly Isn't Confirmation of a PS4 Uncharted Collection
Doesn't mean it's not in development, though
Minor exaggeration: every website under the sun is reporting on this 'leaked' Uncharted Trilogy Collection for the PlayStation 4, so we suppose that we better chime in and tell you why it's fake. Available for pre-order now from a Swiss retailer's website that totally doesn't look dodgy in the slightest,...
News DriveClub's Now Rolling with Much Smoother PS4 Servers
Now where's that PlayStation Plus version?
We open every DriveClub article in exactly the same way: the launch was a disaster, but Evolution Studios really has worked astoundingly hard to regain gamers' trust since then. It's true, too: the DLC has been excellent, the copious new features have been very welcome, and the core game – in this...
Soapbox We Need More New Game Plus
Robert Ramsey wants to start over, but not from scratch
Just a couple of days ago, I started a new playthrough of Dragon Age: Inquisition, in preparation for the first slice of DLC that's hitting PlayStation consoles in May. Having already completed the game once, I was looking forward to slogging through the adventure again while making use of the...
News Nazi Zombies in Wolfenstein: The Old Blood on PS4? It Looks That Way
The rotters
Enjoy shooting Nazis, do you? What about if they get back up afterwards thanks to some creepy undead magic? Well, chances are that you'll be putting plenty of fascist soldiers down for a second time in Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, as Bethesda's teasing the appearance of good old Nazi zombies in the standalone prequel. In a rather...
News Italy's Getting Additional PlayStation Plus Incentives
Viva Italia
Look, even we'll agree: Tower of Guns is probably not the best PlayStation Plus freebie to ever grace the subscription service. That said, we think that we can all generally concur that the complimentary content made available every month as part of the membership is worth the annual fee – even if the quality has varied a little more...
Rumour Did a Caterer Just Reveal Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5?
Back to the grind
Leaks tend to come from trademarks or outspoken executives – you certainly don't expect caterers to be unveiling games. But one chef may be regretting his excited Instagram from earlier in the evening, as he may have just revealed Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5. It's not that much of a surprise, of course – the Birdman confirmed a...
News Mortal Kombat X Has Over 60 Trophies for You to Kollect
Noob Saibot bling
NetherRealm's one of those developers that always goes the extra mile. Its games may not quite stack up with the likes of Street Fighter when it comes to the tactical underpinnings, but it always stuffs its titles to the brim with content – and it looks like Mortal Kombat X will be no different. In fact, at launch, the...
News Yoshida Wants to See 'Something Scary' Like P.T. on Project Morpheus
Gulp
We still maintain that Konami's creepy P.T. was one of the best PlayStation 4 games of 2014, so we're with Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida on the subject of a similar release for Project Morpheus. Speaking in the latest issue of Official PlayStation Magazine, the affable executive explained that ports don't really work in...
News Michael Pachter Reckons Mass Effect PS4 and Mirror's Edge 2 Will Release Before March 2016
If you say so
In a recent Wedbush report, everyone's favourite analyst Michael Pachter and his peers at the company noted that the next Mass Effect and Mirror's Edge 2 will launch before the end of March 2016. The reasoning behind this analysis is that EA's fiscal year begins this month and ends next March, and along with the likes of a new Need...

First Impressions PlayStation Home Has Already Arrived on PS4, and It's Called Atom Universe
Home alone
Sometimes the best surprises in life are the ones that you don't expect – but we'd give pause before describing Atom Universe as a pleasant shock.

Review Gundam: Battle Assault (PSone)
You need more practice
If you were into Mobile Suit Gundam Wing back when it aired in the 1990s, then you may have heard of or even played Gundam: Battle Assault on the PSone. In an attempt to capitalise on the aforementioned anime's popularity, publisher Bandai decided to localise the 2D fighter, which was called Gundam: The Battle Master 2 in its...
Store Update 8th April 2015 (Europe)
Calm before the carnage
Bastion, Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones, Tower of Guns – it's raining good indie games. There are no retail releases available as part of this week's European PlayStation Store update – well, unless you ignore the PlayStation 3 version of RIDE – but there's enough good stuff elsewhere to tide you over until Mortal...
News Mortal Kombat X Finished Off with 1.8GB PS4 Patch
Brutality to your bandwidth
Mortal Kombat X isn't officially due out until next week, but some lucky brawlers have already got the PlayStation 4 title in their blood-soaked mitts. This has, of course, resulted in a series of pulled YouTube videos and Twitch streams – but perhaps the most relevant piece of information to emerge from the broken...
News Activision's Getting Ready to Breach the Subject of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3
Woods you believe it?
Well, this has all of the subtlety of a Call of Duty campaign: Activision's started to sow the seeds for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. A recent update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 added some SnapChat quick links to some of the game's assets, hinting at some kind of viral campaign. Scanning the curious QR code takes you to the...
News Deus Ex: Mankind Divided's Debut PS4 Trailer Is Augmented with Action
No need for stealth
Following yesterday's leak, Square Enix has gone ahead and released Deus Ex: Mankind Divided's debut trailer.

If you're looking for some Deus Ex: Mankind Divided...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Begins to Slip as Blockbuster Releases Dry Up
A slippery slope
After weeks of being firmly on top of the Japanese hardware charts, the PlayStation 4's slew of software releases has just about come to a close, and this has, as expected, caused the console's sales to slip. Having said that, Sony's newest black box still managed to hang on to the top spot, but only because New 3DS sales are...
News Ryo Hazuki Will Finally Get His Revenge Against Lan Di
Dead or Alive 5 mod finishes the fight
The first two Shenmue games merely plotted the start of Yu Suzuki's monstrous story, but when the costly escapades flopped, so too did any hopes of the rest of the tale getting told. If you've been waiting over a decade to settle a few scores, however, this Shenmue mod for the PC version of Dead or Alive 5 will...
News 2K Games Restores NBA 2K14 Servers, Career Save Files Should Work Again
Slam dunk
It's always worth complaining when you feel that you've been treated unfairly, evidenced by the fact that 2K Games has restored the NBA 2K14 servers. Earlier, we reported that the basketball sim's online functionality had been shut down, and, despite reassurance that it wouldn't happen, players had their career save files deleted as a...
Store Update 7th April 2015 (North America)
Tower of titles
This North American PlayStation Store update may be a little light in the add-ons area, but it's certainly not wanting for new software. Bastion, Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin, and Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones are all headline additions this week – but they're joined by various other curios, such as Monster Bag and

Death from Above

Offering two "massive" expansions, named Hearts and Stone and Blood and Wine, these new adventures...
News Did Dying Light Scare Dead Island 2 Away?
It's a zombie eat zombie world
This is a strange one, isn't it? Techland, the developer behind the original Dead Island, went on to create the rather enjoyable Dying Light after departing from publisher Deep Silver. Meanwhile, the former's getting a sequel in the form of Dead Island 2, but as Videogamer.com cleverly points out, we haven't seen or...

Review Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones (PlayStation 4)
Patience test chamber
Office politics can be a killer. As anybody who has ever had to share a tuna salad baguette with Gina from accounting will attest, we're all just one wrong word away from snapping. Usually that takes the guise of making off-hand comments about a 55-year-old's fascination with leopard skin underwear and tight skirts, but what if...

Good old web caches, eh? Eagle eyed NeoGAF user arturkrang spotted several images of what appears to be a new Deus Ex title. The leak comes just over 24 hours after publisher Square Enix's mysterious – and tedious – livestream began. Supposedly dubbed Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, it looks
News Players Aren't Happy with 2K Games After Publisher Deletes NBA 2K14 Save Files
Slam dump
With a new game releasing each year when it comes to the big sports franchises, you can see why publishers are eager to shut down the online services of previous outings.

Not-so Masterful move
Golf's most famous course, the Augusta National, will be missing in the PlayStation 4's forthcoming EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour.

Before Red, there was the Kid
It's utterly amazing how much the indie game scene has changed since 2011.

It lost, and now anyone who bought the portable before 1st June, 2012 is entitled to compensation...

Review R.B.I. Baseball 15 (PlayStation 4)
Shutout
R.B.I. Baseball is not a new series per se. The brand's legacy dates back all the way to a line of bat and ball titles that launched on SEGA platforms – among others – through the 80s and 90s. The last one released in 1995, until last year, when R.B.I. Baseball 14 brought the series back – albeit in underwhelming fashion. Spoilers:...
Review Run Sackboy! Run! (PlayStation Vita)
Sack race
Ah, the endless runner: a sub-genre almost as ubiquitous in the promotional game space as the everyday Puzzle & Dragons knock-off. Unfortunately for developer Firesprite – a UK studio made up of ex-WipEout veterans – the awkwardly punctuated Run Sackboy! Run! doesn't possess quite the same originality as the parent property that...

News Mortal Kombat X's PS4 Launch Trailer Invites You to the Mosh Pit
Karate chop suey
So, the System of a Down crossover continues, as Mortal Kombat X's launch trailer was directed by the band's bassist Shavo Odadjian. He's the one with the beard that's better plaited than a pageant girl's hair, by the way. We jest, but we quite like the editing – especially in the first "I don't think you trust" chorus section...
