News Sony Admits PS4 Exclusive Until Dawn Was a Sleeper Hit
Slasher success
There's a bit of revisionist history going on with Until Dawn at the moment. The game has been hugely successful for Sony – both critically and commercially – but with a bit more marketing there's no doubt that it could have been an even bigger success. As such, armchair analysts believe that the platform holder missed a trick...
News No Man's Sky Still Looks Like One of PS4's Most Exciting Games
High life
Sony has, rightfully, pumped the brakes on its No Man's Sky public relations campaign of late. There was a period earlier in the year where the title was popping up everywhere, but it's been a couple of months since we've heard anything about the game. And, as the old adage goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder – because this Stephen...
Rumour Did a US Retailer Just Leak a PS4 Price Drop?
Yes, probably
So, that PlayStation 4 price drop's definitely coming – even if some conspicuous text on Target's website is not necessarily confirmation just yet. The retailer's currently advertising the console for $349.99, with the words "$50 price drop on the PS4" plastered in bold across the page. There's also a picture of the Uncharted: The...
Push Rewind PlayStation Plus, PS4 Firmware Update 3.00, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5
Highs and lows
Weeks don't come much bigger than this in the PlayStation Nation, with headlines hitting with frightening frequency over the past seven days. Despite being busy, though, it's all been a bit disappointing; October's big PlayStation Plus update looks light, PlayStation 4 firmware update v3.00 proved to be a letdown, and Tony Hawk's Pro...

News Microsoft Just Bought the Tech Powering a Ton of PS4 Games
But there's nothing to worry about
We're going to assume that the majority of you reading this article have heard of Havok. Even if you don't know what the mysterious technology does, its logo has appeared during the boot sequence of so many titles that we'd be shocked if you haven't seen it before. In the simplest of terms, the engine essentially...
Review Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 (PS4)
Sick
The Tony Hawk series has been around for over 15 years, and in that time introduced a new genre in gaming. The fluidity of pulling off crazy street and vert tricks, the stunning soundtracks, inventive levels, and rich mechanics made it a true standout franchise. However, like most series, the franchise started to lose steam, with developer...
Video Top 4 PlayStation Games - September 2015
Paper, boy
Nothing hacks this video editor off more than preparing for a Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain victory – only for Tearaway: Unfolded to come out of nowhere with its cardboard cuteness and snatch the Game of the Month win. Fortunately, your humble host improvised – stay tuned for footage of Push Square's very own paper-based...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 87

It's surely not the weekend again? The weeks seem to fly by of late – but perhaps that's because we're having so much fun.

Here's everything that we're playing right now, but do chip in with your own selections in the comments section below. Robert...
Round Up Push Square's September 2015 Reviews
Showtime
September seemed to race by, and not just because we abandoned our posts to play some games at EGX 2015, either. As they say, time flies when you're having fun, and there was certainly some enjoyment to be had with last month's release schedule. Packed with a few heavy AAA hitters and a slew of solid, smaller titles, here at Push Square we...

Busting your bombs
If you've played Bomberman, whether it was Bomberman II on NES or Bomberman Touch on iOS, you've played Bombing Busters. This Bomberman clone won't seduce you with good looks, a catchy soundtrack, or an engaging story. In fact, Bombing Busters doesn't have much going for it at all. But it plays a lot like Bomberman, so at least...
First Impressions Shadow of the Beast Is Bloody Brilliant on PS4
Stepping out of the shadows
One of the quieter demo stations that we saw this year at EGX was for the reboot of eighties gaming classic, Shadow of the Beast. Now, this wasn't much of a surprise, especially since its announcement a couple of years ago at Gamescom was met with a resounding "huh, never heard of it" from anyone under the age of...
News Dinosaurs Are Being Revived on PS4 with Primal Carnage: Extinction
And it's out this month
Much like a raptor springs from the long grass to get the jump on its prey, Primal Carnage on PlayStation 4 has finally clawed its way back into existence. If you've been keeping up, then you'll know that a title of the same name was originally on display during Sony's GDC 2013 show, but after going dark for some time, the...
News At Least PS4 Firmware Update 3.00 Appears to Have Boosted Download Speeds
Silver lining
We were rather critical of PlayStation 4 firmware update v3.00 in our feature earlier today, but one positive that appears to be doing the rounds is that the system software refresh has boosted download speeds. Slow downloads have been a constant criticism on Sony's new-gen console of late, perhaps suggesting that it was a bug rather...
News Laura Lays the Smackdown on PS4 Exclusive Street Fighter V
Bloody Laura
Following in the footsteps of beefcake Zangief yesterday, Famitsu magazine has leaked the latest fighter to enter the Street Fighter V fray: Laura. This all-new challenger appears to be from Brazil, and comes with a vibrant outfit and cornrows. Judging by producer Yoshinori Ono's Twitter account, the character was set to be revealed at...
News Persona 5 Has Some Absolutely Incredible Persona Designs
Personal taste
It's safe to say that without its incredible art direction, the Persona series wouldn't be quite as memorable as it is. Whether it's the characters, the environments, or even the menu screens, this is a franchise that's absolutely dripping with style - and Persona 5 will be no different. Five main party members have been detailed so...
Case dismissed

Opinion PS4 Firmware Update 3.00 Is One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
Making a mess
Sony often gets criticised for being slow to update its console in comparison to the competition, but the reality is that the PlayStation 4 launched in a much better place than people give it credit for. There are obvious tweaks that still need to be made to the user interface to improve it – folders, friends notifications, and so...
News PS4 Communities Are Already Walking on the Wild Side
Not safe for work
We're quite fond of the PlayStation 4's new Communities feature – you can find out how to join the Push Square page through here – but Sony might have known that it wouldn't take long for the addition to be, ahem, corrupted. While there are plenty of legit groups built around forums, favourite bands, and football teams – we...

Review Samurai Warriors 4-II (PS4)
Blade running
Stuck in a strange realm somewhere between a sequel and an expansion, Samurai Warriors 4-II is, in many ways, a follow up to last year's superb Samurai Warriors 4 – but it's certainly not the inevitable Samurai Warriors 5. It borrows characters, stages, music, mechanics, voice acting, and even artwork from 2015's historical hack and...

News What's Hideo Kojima Doing with PS4 Maker Mark Cerny?
All smiles
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is finished, and if you believe industry gossip, series creator Hideo Kojima is soon to be a free agent. This photograph of the legend posing with PlayStation 4 architect Mark Cerny was certain to draw attention, then. The picture was posted on Twitter earlier today, though the meeting does seem pretty...
Poll FIFA 16 Versus PES 2016 - Which Footy Sim Has Rocketed Into Your Top Corner?

It's been a while since FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer have clashed on what feels like relatively equal ground, yet here we are, with many footy fans demanding that PES 2016 be recognised as this year's champion. Meanwhile, FIFA 16 enthusiasts are being quick to point out its various improvements over its predecessors. You can read...
News Sony: We Want to Continue Working with From Software

Bloodborne is without doubt one of the best games of the year, and its forthcoming expansion is one of this author's most anticipated holiday releases. From Software, however, is a very busy organisation, so what are the chances of Sony teaming up with the company again to create a sequel or some kind of new game? Worldwide Studios...
News Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Cancels Its Stupid Pre-Order Strategy
Fight the power

And then later in the month, its YouTube presence was torn to shreds by unhappy internet people? Yeah, well it turns out that too much bad publicity can have a negative effect on ho
News PlayStation's Just Renamed a Theatre in Times Square
New York, New York
Could this generation be any more different to the last one? There were times during the PlayStation 3 era where Sony's flagship gaming brand felt like it'd been pushed into the background, but you can't avoid it these days. Case in point: the platform holder's just renamed Times Square's gigantic 2,150-capicity concert venue to...

Swear jarhead
There'll be no campaign for you if you choose to play Call of Duty: Black Ops III on the PlayStation 3, but anyone that opts for the PlayStation 4 version will be able to enjoy the full story experience. And according to Treyarch's boss Mark Lamia, it's the "most ambitious" that the team has ever undertaken – heck, that's evidenced...

Human hurricane
Street Fighter mainstay Zangief's bringing his bright red briefs and distinguished chest carpet to the PlayStation 4 in Street Fighter V, publisher Capcom announced in Russia earlier today.

Guide How to Turn Off Automatic Trophy Screenshots on the PS4

Sony's long tradition of incorporating interesting but flawed firmware features continued recently with the addition of automatic Trophy screenshots. This seemed like a great idea, allowing you to commit key moments to history without even needing to think about it. However, it quickly frustrated many when they realised that their...

The developer of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Edmund McMillan, has today announced on his Twitter that the massive DLC called Afterbirth will launch on the PlayStation 4 and Vita at the end of the year. For those of you who have been locked in a dungeon for the past few months, this huge expansion – which could have been a sequel...
Feature 7 Improvements That Make Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Feel Fresh on PS4
X marks the spot
Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is a remaster worth treasuring, as our first impressions explained in more detail last week. But while the presentation and overall package is worthy of acclaim, developer Bluepoint Games has gone the extra mile with this lovingly compiled collection. Indeed, there are a handful of new features...
Guide How to Save PS4 Share Screenshots in PNG Format
Less lossy
Few could argue that the share button has become one of the most important additions to this generation. While external hardware has always unlocked the ability to save screenshots and capture video, the functionality just works on the PlayStation 4. However, the emphasis on JPEGs has resulted in images looking lossy and less defined...
Guide How to Upload Share Videos to Twitter on PS4
Special moments
We'd argue that uploading screenshots to Twitter has been one of the major draws of the share button, so we're confident that video clips are going to get some real mileage, too. Firmware update v3.00 will allow you to upload ten second clips to the social network site, and here's how you can get your footage online. 1. Capture some...
News October's PlayStation Plus Lineup Is Going to P*** People Off
Oh dear
Oh no! Oh no! Batten down the hatches, adopt the foetal position, and keep out of every PlayStation owner's way – because next month's PlayStation Plus update really is a bad one. There's been plenty of criticism pointed at Sony's service over the past 18 months or so, but we've always felt that there have been redeeming qualities to the...
Pace yourself
It's easy to say that with every year that passes, it gets harder and harder to review FIFA. EA Sports' annual licensed franchise loves nothing more than to stick to its guns, and with no real competition for its popularity crown, it's no surprise that this is the case. FIFA 15 was another solid, very enjoyable instalment in what's...

To say that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has endured rocky pre-release and post-release periods is an understatement.

News Japanese Sales Charts: Vita Remains Viable As PS4 Prepares Itself for Rebirth
Calm before the storm
The PlayStation 4's taken another tumble as its Japanese price drop nears, selling through just over 4000 units. Sony's newest console should see something of a rebirth once the cut hits early next month, but it remains to be seen whether or not the price drop will have a lasting positive effect on sales without any blockbuster...

Charmed, we're sure
Wow, it's time for another Fallout 4 character building video already? Putting the C in S.P.E.C.I.A.L. is charisma - an attribute that's of great importance to those post-apocalyptic survivors who don't necessarily like to shoot their way out of every sticky situation. Charisma allows you to trade more effectively, persuade both...

At this point, we're just desperate for something - anything - on Mass Effect: Andromeda, the next instalment in BioWare's sci-fi series.

News Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 Breaks Its Neck on PS4

As expected, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 on the PlayStation 4 is f***ed. Activision's been reluctant to send us – or anyone else – review code, and judging by this Eurogamer.net hands-on with the final version, it's easy to see why. In the clip we see the Birdman bugging out in a variety of ways – be it clipping through geometry or...

Despairing at how fast life passes us by aside, we've usually had confirmation of next month's PlayStation Plus games by now, but there's been no word of what's on the menu yet. Of course, Sony's never been one to stick to particular dates, so it's no surprise...

Pro Evolution Soccer, supposedly Konami's last AAA series, has spent the best part of a decade trying to catch up with FIFA's success.

Square Enix has been somewhat adamant in proving that Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below isn't just another Warriors game.

We did ponder internally whether Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection would ship on multiple Blu-rays, but developer Bluepoint has worked its magic and managed to squeeze all three escapades into 44GB of space.
