  • News Is Rockstar's Agent Preparing to Infiltrate PS4?

    Cold War never changes

    Could long overdue PlayStation 3 exclusive Agent make a re-appearance at E3 2016 next week? We seem to write the same article annually, but eagle eyed NeoGAF users have noticed that there's been some movement on the Rockstar North developed espionage adventure's trademark page. Essentially, the company has applied for an...

  • News Silent Hills Inspired Survival Horror Allison Road Binned

    Statement incoming, apparently

    It looks like Silent Hills-inspired survival horror Allison Road has taken a little too much inspiration from Hideo Kojima's ill-fated reboot, as the promising looking title has been canned. Originally the subject of a Kickstarter campaign, developer Lilith scrapped crowd-funding when Team 17 got involved as a...

    Heroes, demons, tanks, and treasure

    May was a cracking month for PlayStation, with several heavy hitting titles bursting onto Sony's latest system. Despite the strength of our Game of the Month nominees, though, there was a clear winner when it came to the crunch. And no, you don't get any prizes for guessing which release came out on top. Bronze...

  • News Learn Why Shenmue Is Held in Such High Regard

    Courage shall determine his fate

    Not going to lie: Shenmue III's reveal almost had your humble host in tears last year. It's a game series that's had a profound effect on this author, as illustrated in this soapbox article. But many who missed out on the original – or perhaps were too young to play it – may not understand why Yu Suzuki's...

  • News Fallout 4: Far Harbor Ran So Bad on PS4 that Bethesda's Actually Re-Released It

    You can download the new version now in North America

    Wait, what? Last week, Bethesda stated that it had sent a Fallout 4: Far Harbor update to Sony for approval. It was apparently going to fix the add-on's serious frame rate issues, but the supposed patch still isn't available to download on PlayStation 4. Quite the mystery. Except there may have...

  • News No Man's Sky UK Release Date Pushed Forward

    Yes Man's Sky

    No Man's Sky was recently delayed until August on PlayStation 4, with North America getting the game on the 9th, Europe receiving it on the 10th, and the poor old UK having to wait until the 12th to sample the space sim. Naturally, the two day difference between the EU and UK release dates had a bunch of us Brits asking questions, with...

  • Feature The 10 Best PS4 Games of 2016 So Far

    Off to a flyer

With the excitement of E3 2016 around the corner, we thought that it would be fun to put...

  • Review Hitman: Episode 3 - Marrakesh (PS4)

    Don't Morocco the boat

    The beauty, complexity, and atmospheric brilliance of Sapienza was always going to be a tough act to follow for IO Interactive, but the bustling Moroccan city of Marrakesh provides ample room for innovation in this month's new episode of Hitman. With crowded markets, labyrinthine streets, and plenty of interiors to explore,...

  • Review Dangerous Golf (PS4)

    Putter fingers

    Three Fields Entertainment, the indie studio behind Dangerous Golf, comprises mainly of the same minds responsible for Criterion classics Burnout and Black – and this is abundantly clear from the start. Its debut title is an arcade sports game that shares as much in common with golf as Rocket League does with football. Maybe less...

  • News No, Persona 5 Is Not Being Published By Sony in Europe

    Bit of a shame, really

    A rumour popped up earlier today claiming that Sony is planning on publishing Persona 5 in Europe. The source of the rumour was spotty at best, and we can't even find the origin of it right now, but none of that really matters since Atlus PR manager John Hardin has debunked the hopeful whispers. "Sorry Europe, but once again,...

  • Talking Point Will Sony Announce PS4K at E3 2016?

    Neo or never?

    Sony doesn't really announce hardware at E3. There are exceptions: the PlayStation Move was hastily wheeled out a few years ago in reaction to the Kinect, while the ill-fated but kinda awesome PSPgo was also confirmed during one Los Angeles show. But most of its big system reveals tend to occur elsewhere: the PlayStation 4 was...

  • News Europe, You Can Now Download the New Fallout 4 Far Harbor on PS4

  • Video Has Manhunt Come Dressed to Kill on PS4?

    Making a murderer

    One of the most controversial games of the PlayStation 2 era slipped a noose around the neck of the PlayStation 4 recently, and we figured that it was worth checking out. Manhunt is the latest title to be spruced up for Sony's new-gen system, with Trophies and 1080p visuals added to the very bloody broth. But is it worth replaying...

    A long awaited post

    It's not that we've spent about six months ignoring The King of Fighters XIV, it's just… Well, we've spent about six months ignoring The King of Fighters XIV. It's not like we've got anything against the legendary SNK series – this author has certainly enjoyed previous entries – but we can't shake the feeling that this new...

  • News Destiny's Next Expansion Will Be Revealed Before Sony's E3 2016 Presser

    Tune in on 9th June

    Wait a minute, could Sony's upcoming E3 2016 press conference be without its annual tea break? The good news: Bungie has confirmed that it will be revealing Destiny's next expansion pack during a livestream at 10:00AM PT on 9th June. The bad news: said broadcast will probably conclude with a "Tune in to the PlayStation media...

    Jarhead

    A big screen adaptation of forgotten Ubisoft loot shooter The Division is in the works, with the Prince of Persia himself Jake Gyllenhaal signed up to both play the lead character and produce the film. The good news is that it's still early days for the movie – it doesn't even have a writer yet. If there's any God, this will get s**tcanned...

They're also showcased in this short gameplay video that Square Enix's just released. In it, we get to...

  • News Just Cause 3's Second DLC Will Mech a Mess on PS4

    Rico machina

    Just Cause 3 [Remember that game? – Ed] is getting mech DLC for reasons that can probably be surmised as: a bunch of Swedish people thought that it was a cool idea. Part of the obnoxiously named Air, Land, and Sea season pass, subscribers will get access from 3rd June, while peasants will have to wait until 10th June to cough up their...

  • News UK Sales Charts: Overwatch Bumps Uncharted 4 from Summit

    Almost 50 per cent of physical sales on PS4

    Channelling its best Reinhardt impression, Overwatch has swatted Uncharted 4: A Thief's End from the top of the UK sales charts. Naughty Dog's impressive action adventure was frozen in second place by Mei, while the popular FPS used Widowmaker's rifle to get a good view from the summit. Word of mouth kept...

  • News Obliteracers Joins Team PlayStation This Summer

    Annihilate your friends come July

    Obliteracers certainly looks like a-bit-of-fun, and the award-winning formerly PC-only racer is set to leave the pit-lane and race onto the PlayStation 4 on 15th July. Harking back to the kind of chaotic titles of the 2000s, Obliteracers is an arcade party racer in which up to 16 competitors race, shoot, undermine,...

  • Rumour Batman, Superman to Brawl in Injustice 2 on PS4

    Clash of the titans

    We try not to run unsourced stories here at Push Square, but this one's more obvious than the Box Office eventually milking every comic book character dry: Injustice 2 is in development and is about to be announced. The rumour comes courtesy of a French site's "inside sources" – but let's be realistic, it's obviousl

  • News Experience the Hype of PlayStation's E3 2016 Presser in Theaters

  • News Akiba's Beat Strips Off in Famitsu This Week

    Beat off

    Stripping sim Akiba's Trip was an oddity worthy of attention when it released on various PlayStation formats a few years back, so Akiba's Beat should draw some interest this week.
