Give up the ghost
The hubbub surrounding the new Ghostbusters movie has been so well documented that even the Internet-deprived people of North Korea have likely heard about it. The response to the first trailer for the 2016 reboot of the supernatural comedy franchise has been nothing short of vitriolic, to the point that it's one of the most hated...

News Just Cause 3 Is Borderline Broken on PS4 Right Now
FYI
We'd heard anecdotally that Just Cause 3's latest patch made its framerate that little bit worse, but nothing could have prepared us for footage of the foray in action. This clip – captured directly from a PlayStation 4 using the share button – shows just how dire the destructive adventure is these days, as the title practically...
Rumour Lara Croft's Rise of the Tomb Raider Rushes PS4 on 11th October
And it may not be cheap
Ex-Xbox One exclusive Rise of the Tomb Raider will purportedly shimmy to the PlayStation 4 on 11th October, assuming that a product listing on the Italian arm of GameStop is accurate. The date's a Tuesday which isn't necessarily in line with typical European releases, but publisher Square Enix may be planning a simultaneous...

Video Is the PS4 Powerful Enough for Virtual Reality?
Yes, but it's not perfect
Many people often ponder whether the PlayStation 4 is powerful enough to offer a competent virtual reality experience – especially with the recommended specs for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive being so high.

News Street Fighter V Wants Your Cash for Capcom Pro Tour 2016
Help fund a tournament you'll never enter
Capcom's not the first publisher to sell content to help fund its game's eSports league, and it won't be the last – but given the current state of Street Fighter V, it's got some "brass neck" as they say in Ramsey's part of the world.

News New Balls, Please! PS4 Finally Serves Up Some Tennis
You can't be serious?
Tennis, one of the most popular sports in the world, is sorely underrepresented in the video game space.

But rejoice: the PlayStation 4's finally about to get a...

Heavy metal
Originally released all the way back in 1990 on the SEGA Genesis, Assault Suit Leynos – or Target Earth as it was known in North America – is a 2D side-scrolling mecha shoot-'em-up that still holds up well today.

Talking Point Is Sony Scared of Xbox's Scorpio?
Neo way
Microsoft jumped feet first into the iterative hardware space at E3 2016, announcing Project Scorpio for… Well, the end of 2017!

News Ubisoft Solves a Mystery That's Bugged Mankind Since the Beginning of Time
Finally
It was alluded to in Homer's Odyssey and it was brought up in the Bible, but now Ubisoft has attempted to solve a mystery that has cursed mankind since the beginning of time: just how do you pronounce the company's name? It's not You-Bee-Eye-Soft that's for sure. Muppets!
News Sony Changes Stance on PlayStation VR Controller Support
Move aside
Sony's still very much prone to bloopers as well, as it mucked up its messaging on PlayStation VR controller support this week. Those of you with sharp memories may recall the statement that it sent to Eurogamer.net, stressing that all virtual reality games will support the DualShock 4. Apparently that's not quite the case – it
News Hey, the Steel Black PS4 Controller Isn't Bad Either
It's no crystal, but what is?
You've heard us go gaga over the sublime crystal DualShock 4, but Sony clearly isn't content with just one lavish hardware trailer.

The veteran was speaking in Brighton at the Develop conference alongside fellow legend Mark Cerny, who...
News Devs May Start Submitting PS4K Compatible Titles Next Month
Developer documentation leaks
As alluded in our Talking Point earlier today, we suspect that PlayStation 4K may happen fast.

Indeed, developer documentation which has leaked online suggests that studios will be able to start submitting...

News Is Sony Holding a Press Conference at Gamescom?
Outlook's not good
Earlier in the year at E3 2016, Sony implied that it was still undecided regarding the venue of its European press conference this year. Historically, it's held the show at Gamescom, but last year it switched the event to Paris Games Week. However, with Microsoft skipping its European media briefing entirely this time, all eyes...

Rumour Gravity Rush 2 Floats to Japanese PS4s on 1st December
Purrrr-fect
Kat will arrive in time for Christmas it seems, as a Japanese retailer has listed PlayStation 4 exclusive Gravity Rush 2 for release on 1st December.

News WWE 2K17's Cover Star Has a Sword on His Chest
Ink-redible
Brock Lesnar is WWE 2K17's cover star. We'll refrain from making disparaging remarks because he could probably kill us with his little finger, but we have got to commentate on the sword that's tattooed on his torso, resting between his rock-like pectorals like Excalibur in Arthurian legend. Judging by the box art, he also appears to be...
News Grow Up on 16th August with PS4 Platformer
Pre-order promotion dates several titles

News All PlayStation VR Games Will Support the DualShock 4
Move not mandatory
There's been a bit of confusion – surprise, surprise – online recently regarding some early box art for PlayStation VR launch title, PlayStation VR Worlds.

News These PS4 Bundles Are Getting Bigger and Bigger
Putting on weight
Console bundles become a less interesting point of discussion the older a platform gets, but while we've been ignoring PlayStation 4 packages for some time, Sony's been quietly making them bigger and bigger.

News You Can Reverse Final Fantasy XV's Cover to Give it that Classic Look
Just the logo, thanks
Having grown up with more traditional Final Fantasy games over the years, it's no real surprise that we here at Push Square prefer the classical approach to the series' cover art.

News Drool Over This Crystal PS4 Controller Trailer
Phwoooooar
This particular author remembers being distinctly jealous of a kid back in primary school who had a crystal Game Boy Colour. It wasn't a "sexy" piece of hardware, per se, but there's just something strangely compelling about transparent tech. We're sure that some of you won't agree, of course, but before you start gobbing in the comments...
Soapbox Destiny's Grimoire Cards Are Pretty Awesome
A glimpse at what could have been
Destiny is famous for a lot of things, but a strong and structured storyline is most definitely not one of them. In fact, it's more renowned for telling you that it doesn't have time for a plot. I'm here to tell you that Destiny actually possesses potentially one of the deepest and most well thought out universes...
News You Need to Be at Least Level 20 For Fallout 4's Next DLC to Trigger Automatically
Otherwise you have to go find it
If you're under level 20 and you're looking forward to jumping straight into Vault-Tec Workshop, Fallout 4's second last slice of downloadable content, then you should know that you'll have to do things the hard way. Only those at level 20 or over will automatically trigger the add-on's initial quest when they load...
News PS4 Smashes 3 Million Units Milestone in Japan
Not bad
It's taken a little longer than Sony may have hoped, but the PlayStation 4 has now crossed the three million units milestone in Japan, according to the latest Media Create report. The console launched on 22nd February 2014 in the platform holder's home nation, so it's taken over two years to achieve the target. While that sounds promising...
News WRC 6 Takes a Long, Easy Right to PS4 in October
No maybe about it
There are no shortage of racing games on the PlayStation 4, but there are perhaps a lack of spectacular ones. WRC 5 didn't quite hit the dizzying heights of, say, DriveClub, but developer Kylotonn Games – in collaboration with Bigben Interactive – came up with a compelling simcade handling model that deserves revisiting. And...

Trip the light fantastic
Hyper Light Drifter, the long anticipated retro-inspired action role-playing release from Heart Machine, will beam down to the PlayStation 4 from 26th July.

News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Ain't Got New Games, But it Keeps Selling Anyway
The never-ending story
Well this is all a bit familiar, isn't it? Once again, the PlayStation 4 has topped the Japanese hardware charts with 22,717 units sold despite the fact that there's been bugger all releasing on the system. The PS4 "Welcome Price" version of last year's Tales of Zestiria was the only current-gen title to make it into the top...
News Overwatch Will Limit Teams to One of Each Character in Competitive Mode
D.Va and Zenyatta will also be buffed in an upcoming patch

News Lose Your Head Over Headlander on PS4 This Month
Body shop
Double Fine's quite literally lost its mind this time: Headlander, the latest title from Tim Schafer's team, is a game about a disembodied head. Sounds weird, right – until you remember that Rebellion's Neverdead did a similar thing. While that game was full-on grindhouse, however, this headless adventure is spoofing 70s sci-fi hard...

News These Alternate No Man's Sky PS4 Covers Look Just Like Classic Sci-Fi Books
What a novel idea
The official artwork that adorns the box of No Man's Sky is gorgeous.

Review JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven (PS4)
Stuck in purgatory
We can guarantee that almost every review of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven that you read will, at least once, mention that it's a better experience if you're a fan of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - a statement that seems bafflingly obvious. As the property's name suggests, the popular anime and manga series revels in the...
Guide Amazon Prime Day 2016 - Best PS4 Deals (Updated)
Bottled lightning
Today is Amazon Prime Day 2016, in case you didn't know.

We've compiled some of the best deals available right now, which can be pounced upon by...
Not seaworthy
Lost Sea is a top down indie roguelike with a unique visual style and retro sensibilities. Clearly, there is a danger for it to get lost in a sea of superior competitors. We'll be the first to admit that that joke was pretty obvious. But just because a joke is obvious, doesn't mean it isn't true. The title sees you playing as an...
Talking Point Will No Man's Sky Live Up to the Hype on PS4?
Sky high
No Man's Sky is finished! We're nearing our 50th article on the game since it was announced all the way back in December 2013. In case you can't remember those halcyon days: the PlayStation 4 had only just released, Geoff Keighley still produced award ceremonies for Spike TV, and Britain was still in the EU. Too soon? Anyway, the point is...
News Metal Gear Solid 5 Wasn't Finished, So Why Pay Full Price?
Amazon Prime Day makes tactical espionage affordable
How's that for some tip-top clickbait game? Oh, hush your noise, we don't want to be writing about Amazon Prime Day 2016 anymore than you want to be reading about it – but this is a good deal for a genuinely great game. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's just dropped to £12.99. And no,...
Review The Banner Saga 2 (PS4)
Stop! Banner time
Few games are as relentlessly bleak as The Banner Saga 2. It begins right after the climax of the previous game, but regardless of your prior choices, the story will play out largely the same; the dredge (a relentless horde of warriors) are hunting down the remaining humans and varl (hulking, horned giants), in the wake of past...
News Fallout 4's Penultimate DLC Digs Up a Release Date on PS4
Down we go
Fallout 4's second last slice of downloadable content has a confirmed release date. The add-on, dubbed the Vault-Tec Workshop, will give you the ability to establish your own underground vault, and control it as the Overseer. It certainly doesn't seem to be a true expansion - especially since it's priced at only several dollars without...
News The Re-PLAY Sale Offers Discounts on Games You Probably Already Own
Check those download lists
Sony has brought a new sale to the US PlayStation Store, but its contents are rather underwhelming. Titled the Re-PLAY sale, it offers regular users discounts of up to 65%, and PlayStation Plus subscribers 75%. The problem is, you've more than likely already picked these games up. Titles included range from Journey,...

News Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization's Latest English Trailer Has Plenty of PS4 Gameplay
But still no release date
Fans have high hopes for Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization, but it feels like we've seen more than enough of it over the last few months.

News Overwatch's Roster Gets Backed Up with New Support Sniper Ana
Mama's here
There's been a lot of speculation and teasing about who would be the first DLC character to grace Overwatch. While rumours largely pointed to the mysterious Sombra receiving this honour, it seems that the less likely pick has sneaked up on us all. Ana Amari will be joining the ranks of our heroes, who happens to be Pharah's mother and a...
Store Update 12th July 2016 (North America)
Lots of game
Cancel those plans for a summer holiday: there are too many games to play. Alright, so there aren't any "heavy hitters" this week, but between the likes of Assault Suit Leynos, Kill Strain, Ghostbusters, and more, you should find something that you like. And if not – well, you're too picky! PS4 Games: Assault Suit Leynos $19.99...
Live Get a Much Better Look at Fallout 4's Vault-Tec Workshop DLC Right Here
Going underground
Other than a brief mention during Bethesda's E3 2016 press conference, we've got very little to go on when it comes to Fallout 4's penultimate piece of downloadable content, Vault-Tec Workshop. The add-on will supposedly allow you to build your own underground vault and watch over its inhabitants as the Overseer, but no one's quite...
News Put Your Hormones on Hold, Gal Gun: Double Peace Is Delayed Two Weeks in the West

Put those trousers back on and listen up: underwear riddled rail shooter Gal Gun: Double Peace has been delayed a couple of weeks here in the West. Publisher PQube has stated that the game will now release on the 29th July in Europe and the 2nd August in North America. Not a huge delay by any means, but a bit of a disappointment if...
News Mirror's Edge Catalyst Runs at a Reduced Rate in Amazon Prime Deal
Through the looking glass
Limber up those limbs and stare down the starting line: Mirror's Edge Catalyst's price has been cut as part of Amazon Prime Day 2016.

News Enlist for The Division with Amazon Prime Day Sale
New York, New York
Well, it didn't quite set the world alight like the pre-release hype had suggested, but with expectations aligned, Tom Clancy's The Division is a fine game.

News No Man's Sky File Size Isn't as Big as You May Think on PS4
Every man's sky
Being a game that houses infinity and beyond, you'd be forgiven for assuming that No Man's Sky will take up a hefty chunk of your PlayStation 4's hard drive, but thankfully that won't be the case. According to Hello Games' ever informative boss Sean Murray, the space sim will weigh in at only 6GB on disc, and we'd imagine that as a...

Rumble in the jungle
Remember when people used to bang on about PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale being a rip-off of Super Smash Bros.?
