Review Wolfenstein: The Old Blood (PlayStation 4)
Night of the Living Führer
MachineGames has made a much quicker than expected return to the Wolfenstein series that it helped to re-popularise. After a number of years outside of the limelight, Wolfenstein: The New Order marked an exciting and exceptionally well constructed return to form for the franchise. Gone was the overbearing emphasis on...
Rumour Dishonored: Definitive Edition Sneaks Up on PS4
Arkane magic
Arkane Studios' stealth-'em-up Dishonored was an outstanding game, but we could probably do without a PlayStation 4 remaster. Still, we suppose that Bethesda was never going to be able to resist the re-release money sitting on the table, and so a Brazilian ratings board has seemingly leaked an updated edition of the Dunwall infiltrating...

The Gods have been kind
With CD Projekt Red opting to show nothing but PC footage of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, we've all been eagerly awaiting some PlayStation 4 gameplay, to see just how it looks and runs on Sony's console.

News MediEvil Fan Puts a Nail in the Coffin of PS4 Comeback
It's dead, folks
We warned you that that "leaked" MediEvil footage was probably fake, but now its creator has come out and confirmed as much.

Writing on...
News The Next PS4 Assassin's Creed Game Is Apparently Subtitled Syndicate
Unvictorious
The upcoming Assassin's Creed title is being revealed next Tuesday, and according to Polygon, it won't be called Assassin's Creed Victory, as previously rumoured.

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 67
Red faced
Whoops! This author totally forgot about WAYP this week, meaning that he was forced to send an embarrassed email to the rest of the team this morning, begging for submissions.

Guess who got the Bloodborne Platinum Trophy? Here's a hint: he's handsome, loves Taylor Swift, and works for Push Square. Oh God, no – it wasn't darn well Sammy.

News Final Fantasy XV Is Technically 9 Years Old Today
You what
We know - we can hardly believe it either. Yes, Final Fantasy XV is nine years old today, at least technically. Square Enix's most anticipated project was first announced as Final Fantasy Versus XIII on this very day back in 2006. If anything, this serves as a poignant reminder that we're not as young as we used to be. This particular...
Review Damascus Gear: Operation Tokyo (PlayStation Vita)
Grinding gears
There's a really neat premise at the heart of Damascus Gear: Operation Tokyo – a downloadable title that's destined to be completely overlooked by most. In a post-apocalyptic future where mankind's on its last legs and Japan is little more than a smouldering ruin, machines known as Rage stalk the desolate landscape, scouring...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Is Finally Knocked from Top Spot
Not too much of a fall, though
The PlayStation 4's still doing moderately well in Japan, despite the fact that it's finally been knocked from its perch at the summit by the Wii U, presumably because of several strong software releases on Nintendo's platform. Fortunately for Sony, its console still sold 19,782 units, which isn't a huge drop in sales...

Alright, who sent Bandai Namco's ordinary art department on vacation?

While his dizzying attacks certainly look...
News New Witcher 3 Gameplay Makes Conan O'Brien Hot Under the Collar
Steamy
We're pretty envious of American comedian and talk show host Conan O'Brien right now, because he's had a chance to get stuck into The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. In the ten minute video that we've embedded, the excitable television personality does everything in his power to try and get grizzly protagonist Geralt laid. The result is some bumbling...

Honey, I shrunk the toys
We didn't dream it: Disney Infinity 2.0 really is coming to the PlayStation Vita.

Geralt's a bit of a ladies' man, we've known that for a while now, but senior game designer at CD Projekt Red, Damien Monnier, has perhaps given us a tad more insight into how the game will handle romance via a post on its official forums. "I don't know about prostitutes, I'm sort of a one girl kind a guy, but for sure choosing somebody...

Reaction Destiny's Prison of Elders Is a Step in the Right Direction
Prepare for combat
Raids can be a lot of fun, especially with the right people.

For starters, they don't allow for any kind of matchmaking, so you need to...

News Godzilla's New Trailer Is Exactly What It Should Be
Old school special
We don't know about you, but when we think of Godzilla, we don't cast our minds back to the 1998 flick, nor do we think about 2014's resurrection attempt. Instead, we think of the good old days of actors in big stupid suits, kicking the crap out of model towns. And so, you can imagine the relief when we saw the new Godzilla game...

Thinking outside the box
The last thing that you'd expect to seep out of Serious Sam developer Croteam is a philosophical first-person puzzler, but The Talos Principle has generated a lot of buzz since its release on the PC in 2014.

Fatalities and shovels, not necessarily in that order
Oooh, those bloody indies, eh? Ruining everyone's fun with their SNES graphics and their obsession with pop culture references. "We're not ripping off old games!" they cry. "We're paying homage! It's different!" Meanwhile, the stoic and the knowledgeable among us shake our heads in disgust as...

Review Tropico 5 (PlayStation 4)
Havana good time
Back when Bullfrog was considered a big name, construction games were all the rage.

Jail break
No, the Prison of Elders isn't a harshly named old folks' home - it's actually one of the main draws of Destiny's next DLC, House of Wolves.

As far as we know,...

News Portal Pinball Carries Out Some Tests on PS4, PS3, Vita
Chell's bells
Portal – and its imaginatively titled sequel Portal 2 – remain two of the most critically acclaimed games from last generation. With the recent rumour regarding a LEGO Dimensions pack themed around the popular franchise, you'd be forgiven for wanting to revisit Aperture Laboratories. But if you can't be bothered fishing out the...
News Shadow of Mordor's Game of the Year Edition Trailer Flaunts Its Many Awards
Show off
Game of the Year editions are often the source of some interesting conversation around the 'net. It's usually argued that half of the titles that actually get these special re-releases arguably don't deserve them, as their existence hinges almost solely on the fact that a complete package, with all of the previously released DLC included,...
News Now Even Bandai Namco Is Spreading Rumours of Tales of Zestiria Coming to PS4
Will it ever end
Well this has all kicked off rather nicely hasn't it? Just a few hours ago, we posted that series producer Hideo Baba had hinted at possible Tales of Zestiria news at next month's Tales Of Festival. Now, posting about the gathering on Facebook, while also linking to
News The Witcher 3 Shows Some Incredibly Cool Monster Designs in this Fresh Gameplay
Shame they have to die
We don't know about you, but we find that there's something bitter sweet about killing enemies in games that have been meticulously designed. For example, the Colossi in Shadow of the Colossus all felt unique and special because of how well made they were, and likewise, the many varied monsters in Dragon's Dogma, which all...
News Yet More Fuel Gets Added to the Tales of Zestiria PS4 Fire
Not again
We may have just based this site's first ever edition of Push Square Predicts on the topic of Tales of Zestiria coming to PlayStation 4, but that hasn't stopped yet more rumours from popping up over night. During a recent Japanese event, words from series producer Hideo Baba have caused fans to ponder the meaning behind them. If you'll...
News Endure the Flames with Dragon Age: Inquisition's Free DLC Trailer
Get behind me
Truth be told, we've grown a bit cold on Dragon Age: Inquisition's multiplayer mode. The co-op component supports up to four players, and while it can be fantastic fun with friends, grouping up with random players can lead to disaster if you're not all on the same page. That said, we're actually tempted to hop back into the action...
News UK Sales Charts: Mortal Kombat X Marks the Top Spot
Fatality attraction
Despite being a Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK, there were no major software releases. This has, of course, resulted in Mortal Kombat X holding onto its position at the top of the territory's sales charts for the third successive week, which means that it only needs to fight off Project CARS in order to match Battlefield...
News Lost Planet 3 and Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z Developer Spark Unlimited Closes its Doors
Studio survived for over a decade
It's another rather sad story of studio closure today, as Spark Unlimited, the developer behind the uninspired but solid Lost Planet 3 and the critically panned Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z, has shut up shop. The studio told Polygon that some of its team "have decided to move on to other things". Spark Unlimited was...

News 70,000 People Have Signed a Silent Hills Petition
Fans want Kojima Productions to continue development
We already knew that some of you weren't too happy about Konami putting the nail in Silent Hills' metaphorical coffin last week, but apparently another 70,000 people feel the same way. A petition started by Yauheni Zinkevich, one of the game's early fans, comes with a letter to directors Hideo...
News Don't Delete the Rocket League Beta from Your PS4
More tests in May
This author has been gabbing on about Rocket League for a little while now, so it's great to see the PlayStation 4 beta hit so hard. Psyonix actually extended the test over the weekend, but even though it's now come to a close, you might want to keep the sampler installed on your system's hard drive. Writing on Twitter, the...
Push Rewind PlayStation Plus Freebies, Broken Age, Shovel Knight
Wingin' it
T'was a fairly uneventful week on Planet PlayStation last week, which worked out rather conveniently for us. We spent a bunch of our time travelling and chatting as we planned the next stage of the site, so we probably picked the right days to take time out. Alas, we did have some big news, features, and reviews, so let us round...
News These Mass Effect PS4 Teases Honestly Get Worse
Spaced out
We already know a good amount about Mass Effect's new-gen debut, largely because an enormous pool of information recently leaked. Prior to that, though, EA's sequel has been subject to some of the most frustrating teases of all time, with BioWare employees posting pictures of people in motion capture suits – and expecting us to get all...
Out This Week Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, Ether One, Project CARS
Pick 'n' mix
You can never have too much of a good thing, as Wolfenstein: The Old Blood looks set to prove this week. MachineGames' first-person reboot was surprisingly well received when it released last year, and so it's no surprise that the Swedish studio is giving the shooter another shot. It's not the only major arrival scheduled to land on...
News Mortal Kombat X to Jason Voorhees in New PS4 Trailer
Jason! Jason!
That's a terrible headline, but we're running with it. Warner Bros has released the first footage of Friday the 13th anti-hero Jason Voorhees in action in Mortal Kombat X. Despite lasting just 50 seconds, we get a good look at the masked maniac's various special moves – including one of his Fatalities. The kharacter will be available...
News Polyphony Digital Head Hunts Forza Audio Lead for Gran Turismo
Vrrroom
There are many areas where the Gran Turismo series is ahead of its nearest competitors, but it's at the back of the pack when it comes to sound. Since its inception, Sony's series has been letdown by weedy engines and screeching tires – and at a time when DriveClub serves up some pretty mesmerising audio effects, that's simply not going to...
News Batgirl Will Be Playable with Arkham Knight's Extortionate Season Pass
Girl power
Perhaps clocking the overwhelmingly negative response to Batman: Arkham Knight's steep Season Pass, developer Rocksteady Studios has released a full rundown of the kind of content that you can expect to scoop as part of the £32.99/$39.99 six month subscription. Top of the billing is an all-new prequel story starring Batgirl, which will...
Push Square Predicts Will Tales of Zestiria Make the Journey to PS4?
Heads or Tales
We've said it once and we'll say it again: Bandai Namco would be crazy not to port Tales of Zestiria to the PlayStation 4. The Japanese action role-playing game released on the PlayStation 3 back in January in its homeland, and it's slated to hit store shelves at some point this autumn in the West – but it doesn't take a genius to...
