In a rather open interview with Italian site Multiplayer -- as translated by Kingdom Hearts Insider -- Square Enix game director and artist Tetsuya Nomura admits that both Final Fantasy VII Remake and Kingdom Hearts III wer
News Ni no Kuni II PS4 Patch 1.03 Adds Harder Difficulty Levels
And better loot
When it launched earlier in the year, Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom was criticised by many for being a tad too easy. Indeed, only a select few battles offered any real threat to players who were at least familiar with typical action titles. Although it seems a little late, Bandai Namco has addressed the complaint with the...
News UK Sales Charts: God of War Takes the Bronze in Uneventful Week for PlayStation
"Do not be sorry. Be better"
It seems everyone has been too busy watching the World Cup to go out and buy some new PS4 games. The latest UK sales chart is out, and for PlayStation at least, it's wholly unremarkable. God of War drops into third place, maintaining steady sales, and FIFA 18 is understandably holding firm in second. One of the week's...
News Big the Cat, Amy Rose, and Chao Join Team Sonic Racing
Froggy?!
Big the Cat’s hanging up his fishing rod in favour of four wheels, as three new characters join the roster of Team Sonic Racing. The frog-obsessed feline will be joined by the forever friend-zoned Amy Rose and four different Chao characters – all driving in the, ahem, same car. The newcomers were revealed as part of a Sonic the Hedgehog...

On target
Inazuma Eleven Ares, the football-themed role-playing game from Level-5, will make its PlayStation 4 debut in Western territories next year.

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 225
The 'Rather Be Watching the World Cup' Edition
There’s a full programme of World Cup football to look forward to this weekend, so game time’s likely to be on the short side – unless you’re desperately attempting to avoid watching grown men roll around on the ground. In that case, you may be eager to do a spot of gaming instead – here’s...
News Life Is Strange 2 Starts a New Story from 27th September
More in August
The sequel to teen drama Life Is Strange will start on 27th September, a mysterious trailer has revealed. The video shows stitching on a hold-all, but doesn’t give much away. We’ll get our first taste of the long-awaited sequel in next week’s The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit – a standalone mini-story designed to...
News Assassin's Creed Odyssey Lets You Pick Your Cover Hero
Alexios or Kassandra?
Ubisoft appears to be doing all it can to shout about the more diverse player options in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The game allows you to select the gender of the main character for the first time in the series, as well as romance NPCs and choose from dialogue options throughout the a
News Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Has No Multiplayer, Online Features
Single player only
Among other things, part of what makes FromSoftware's Dark Souls games (and Bloodborne) special is their implementation of online elements and multiplayer. The ability to leave friendly or devious messages for other players is a novel and entertaining way for players to interact, while full-on co-op and PvP fleshes out the overall...
News Fortnite PS4 Bundle Leaked at Just the Right Time
Includes exclusive skin
Remember in one of the Batman movies where Alfred informs Bruce Wayne that “some men just want to watch the world burn”? We can’t help but write this article with a wry, Joker-esque smirk: Sony appears to have leaked a Fortnite console bundle, which looks set to release in Europe next month. This is going to go down...
Rumour Hitman 2 Level Locations Leaked
Murder map
Part of what made IO Interactive's previous Hitman title so compelling was its mission locations. The episodic assassination adventure saw Agent 47 traveling the globe in order to carry out his contracts, providing a nice variety of environments to explore. If a recent leak is to be believed, Hitman 2 is set to feature a similarly diverse...
News Friday the 13th: The Game Slashes All Future Content
Ongoing lawsuit means no content can be added
A few weeks ago, Friday the 13th: The Game developer Gun Media announced that it was involved in a copyright lawsuit between the director of the original Friday the 13th movie, Sean Cunningham, and the film's writer, Victor Miller. Since the lawsuit is ongoing, no new Friday the 13th products can be...
Talking Point How Much Does Cross-Play Matter to You?
Your say
Okay, let’s do it. The games industry is completely dead in the aftermath of E3 2018, with everyone except us apparently gorging on Turkey Twizzlers at all-inclusive holiday resorts. In fact, it would appear the only people left over are those running the Nintendo and Xbox social media accounts, who are so gleefully fellating each...
News Shikhondo: Soul Eater Brings Beautiful Bullet Hell to PS4
Pattern master
You know it’s the week after E3 2018 when you’re forced to fill your article quota with a game named Shikhondo: Soul Eater – but here we are. Actually, this does look cool if you’re into scrolling shooters: it’s a bullet hell game coming out of Korea. The art’s really good, and it’s all been inspired by Korean mythology,...
News May 2018 NPD: PS4 on Top Yet Again, Detroit Starts Strong
Another record breaking month for PlayStation
With the PlayStation 4 nearing its fifth anniversary, we had expected the Nintendo Switch to take the lead on Sony’s system in the United States hardware charts – but it’s just not happening yet. The Japanese giant’s popular platform enjoyed a fourth consecutive month in the throne in May, with...
News Devil May Cry 5 Will Weave Its Way to Gamescom 2018
Dante miss it
E3 2018 is over, which means it’s time to start talking about Gamescom 2018 already. Capcom has confirmed that the recently announced Devil May Cry 5 will be playable at the Cologne convention – and if you can stomach waiting in line for an entire day, you’ll be able to get some hands on time with Nero et al. The publisher...
News Burnout Creators Developing New Racing Game for PS4
Three Fields Entertainment returns
Three Fields Entertainment is a small development studio that's headed up by a few of the figures responsible for the Burnout series, so we're very interested in what they make. So far, games like Dangerous Golf, Lethal VR, and the Crash Mode-esque Danger Zone have been fun distractions, but we've been waiting for...
Reminder The Crew 2 Open Beta Begins Today on PS4
Start your engines
The time has come for Ubisoft's open beta test for The Crew 2. Announced during its E3 2018 press conference, the beta starts today on PS4, and you'll be able to muck about in cars, boats, and planes until Monday 25th June. You've been able to download it ahead of time, but if you've yet to install it, the file size weighs in at...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Steady in Uneventful Week
Summer fever
There’s not much going on in Japan at the moment, as evidenced by Record of Grancrest War being the best-selling new release of the week. The title moved just 11,871 units. It means that evergreen seller Splatoon 2 was able to secure the top spot with just 15k units added to its already substantial tally. Elsewhere, the PlayStation 4...
News Fallout 76's Beta Will Brave the PS4 After the Xbox One
Staying in the Vault
Even the most optimistic among you will probably expect Fallout 76 to launch in a less than desirable state when it arrives on 14th November, so it’s probably not worth panicking over the title’s beta being delayed on the PlayStation 4. This seems like it’s down to some sort of marketing arrangement, as PC players will...
News Final Fantasy VII Remake 'Moving Along More Than Expected'
Every Cloud has a silver lining
Final Fantasy VII Remake was only announced three years ago, but there was good news for fans at E3 2018: the game is actually in development. And chatting with Weekly Famitsu – with translations via Gematsu
Feature Our Favourite @KazHiraiCEO Tweets
"Goodbye consumers of digital entertainment"
Like many of you, we here at Push Square Towers are deeply saddened by the end of one of the best satirical Twitter accounts, @KazHiraiCEO. Posing as the then-CEO of Sony, the account would post hilarious, witty, and at times biting commentary about the games industry, and it'll be sorely missed. It...
News The Spectrum Retreat Looks Like a Creepy First Person Puzzler on PS4
Coming next month
Now E3 is done and dusted, Sony is back to its old habits of announcing little-known games coming to PS4. This time, the PlayStation Blog is highlighting The Spectrum Retreat, a first person puzzle game that's been in development for five years. It looks quite eerie in the above trailer. Your character is staying at The Penrose...
Report PlayStation Now to Add Downloads This Year
Starting with PS4 games in September
Following on from last week’s rumour, it sounds like full-game downloads really are coming to PlayStation Now later this year. Kotaku reports that starting from September of this year, Sony plans to add an option that will allow subscribers to play various PlayStation 4 titles without needing to stream them;...
Soapbox Games Are Allowing Players to Be More Expressive, And It's Ace
You're in control
What was the story of E3 2018 apart from cross-play and an abundance of amazing late-generation games? For me, it was player choice. This is nothing new, of course – the promise that you can “play your own way” has been a buzzword espoused by developers for eons, and it was a particularly prevalent selling-point in last...
News Sony Announces Low Cost Range of PS4 Games, PlayStation Hits
Bloodborne! Uncharted 4! Ratchet & Clank!

News Déraciné Harks Back to FromSoftware's Adventure Game Roots on PSVR
Miyazaki explains
Déraciné got a bit of a rough deal at E3 2018. This PlayStation VR exclusive developed by FromSoftware was announced just after Sony's main press conference was over, and what could otherwise have been an interesting and memorable reveal was somewhat overshadowed. However, a new post on the PlayStation Blog delves into some...
News Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise PS4 Gameplay Looks Like Yakuza in All But Name
That's rad
The announcement that Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise is making its way to Western shores later this year was somewhat overshadowed by other E3 news, but it's a big win for fans nonetheless. It's being developed by Yakuza Studio, the team responsible for, you guessed it, the Yakuza series, and this new gameplay footage looks very...
Rumour Was Red Dead Redemption 2 at E3 2018 After All?
Behind saloon doors
Many were left disappointed at the lack of Red Dead Redemption 2 at this year's E3. Rockstar isn't normally in the habit of attending the Los Angeles event, so it's typical we didn't see anything new during the show. However, one or two reports are coming out that the open world Western was, in fact, present, and not only that,...
News Save on Games Old and New with Fresh Sales on European PS Store
Days of pay
Sony's Days of Play promotion ended yesterday, and it's promptly replaced it with a couple of new offers that discount both contemporary and retro titles. The first sale sees hundreds of PS4 games going for under £12/€15, and there are some big savings to be made. Rise of the Tomb Raider, Titanfall 2, and Dark Souls III are all...
News Warriors Orochi 4 Thinks 16th October Is a Good Release Date
Who are we to argue?
Koei Tecmo probably expects Warriors Orochi 4 to reach its target audience whenever it releases, but 16th October in North America and 19th October in Europe doesn’t necessarily seem like the best slot. That’s within days of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Battlefield V, and Red Dead Redemption 2. No doubt we’ll be able to...
News Michel Ancel Aiming For a Beyond Good & Evil 2 Beta 'End of Next Year'
Beta late than never
Beyond Good & Evil 2 is fast becoming the new The Last Guardian. We've seen some brilliant trailers for the game, and some impressive-looking footage from early tech demos, but it remains an enigma. We're no closer to a release date,
Store Update 19th June 2018 (Europe)
The aftermath
We may be in the midst of the E3 2018 hangover, but the European PlayStation Store sleeps for no one. There’s a lot of content this week – even if it is of a lower profile. Perhaps most noteworthy is The Crew 2’s open beta, but there are a handful of PlayStation VR titles worth paying attention to as well. PS4 Games:...
News BBC's PS4 iPlayer Updated with 4K Ahead of Inaugural England Match
Tunisia in
The BBC is killing it at the moment, with its PlayStation VR powered World Cup experience in particular dropping jaws. However, it’s not done kicking competitor ITV while it’s down just yet, as it’s just updated the PlayStation 4’s iPlayer app to support 4K streaming on the PlayStation 4 Pro ahead of England’s first match versus...
News Check Out The Swanky Offices of Sucker Punch Productions
Fetching
It's always fun to get a peek behind the curtain when it comes to game studios. With much of game development still shrouded in mystery, it's very interesting when a company opens its doors to give us a glimpse inside. A corporate focused website named 425 Business had the chance to venture inside Sucker Punch Productions, which we know is...
Put the kids to bed
The first twenty minutes or so of The Lost Child set up an intriguing mystery, but once the game settles into a comfortable rhythm things become decidedly less compelling, and at times, an outright slog. The game begins in a Tokyo subway station with an investigative journalist who specialises in the occult named Hayato looking...
Review Illusion: A Tale of the Mind (PS4)
Lobotomy
Some games, no matter how much work the devs put into them, just never come together. While some elements could be great, the overall experience just doesn’t click in any meaningful way. Illusion: A Tale of the Mind, from Canadian dev Frima, is a title that suffers from this. While its virtual reality title Fated: The Silent Oath is one...
News Beyond Blue Is a BBC-Backed Ocean Exploration Game from the Makers of Never Alone
Go fish
Remember Never Alone, that little game about Native Alaskan folklore from a few years ago? The team behind the snowy puzzle platformer has returned, and its latest game swaps the tundra for the seas in Beyond Blue. It looks a little like a more realistic ABZÛ, but the truth is that this game is a fair amount more involved than that. You...
News UK Sales Charts: God of War Returns to the Top Amid Days of Play Promotion
The highest peak in all the realms
It's a day late, but this return to the No.1 spot on the UK charts is a great Father's Day gift for the Ghost of Sparta. God of War is back on top after a few weeks lower down the top 10, largely due to Sony's Days of Play sale which saw discounts on Santa Monica Studio's latest and greatest. The sale also bumped...
Feature Watching the World Cup with PSVR Feels Like a New Frontier for Sports
Back of the net
When the BBC announced that it would be broadcasting the World Cup in virtual reality this year, we expected a novelty experience akin to PlayStation VR’s Cinematic Mode, where you’re placed inside a swish interactive environment with the game playing on a television screen larger than the one in Cristiano Ronaldo’s guest room...

E3 hangover club
E3 2018 has almost killed us, so here’s a not-so brief WAYP to remind you that it’s the weekend. You didn’t think we were going to miss it, did you? Never. Robert Ramsey, Deputy Editor: I'll be continuing Fallout 4 in between watching various World Cup matches. Let's hope that the weekend's footie is a little more exciting!...
E3 2018 The Last of Us' Fantastic Factions Multiplayer Will Return
Part II will have competitive online play
All of the enthusiasm for The Last of Us: Part II is focused squarely on the sequel’s single player campaign, but let’s not forget that the multiplayer in the original – superfluous as it seemed – was bloody good. For many it’s one of the better competitive modes on consoles, and it’s certainly...
Rumour Is PlayStation Now Getting a Download Option?
Game pass
PlayStation Now could be about to get a whole lot more desirable, but we’d hold your horses before getting too hyped. An image has popped up on Reddit showing a screenshot from the streaming service’s user interface, and it appears to imply that a ‘Download’ option is being added to the application. Theoretically, this wou

E3 2018 A New Gameplay Trailer for Ace Combat 7 Has Landed
Chocks away
Bandai Namco recently revealed a few screenshots for its upcoming arcade flight sim, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, and that's just been followed up by a brand new gameplay trailer. Check it out above. The dialogue is wonderfully cheesy as we've come to expect from the series, and the game itself is looking great. The weather conditions...
Reaction Great Games Rule Supreme at E3 2018
Content is king
The story of this E3 2018, as far as we’re concerned, has been great games. We all have lapses in our excitement for the medium – it’s natural. But if you went into this year’s event feeling a little fatigued, then no doubt you’ll have found something somewhere to rekindle your enthusiasm. Whether it’s the hushed whispers...
E3 2018 New Ace Combat 7 Screenshots and Details Nosedive into View
That's ace
Bandai Namco has released a whole bunch of new screenshots from Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, along with some new details about the story and gameplay.

E3 2018 PSVR Montage Teases Tons of Upcoming, Existing Games
Star Child! Vacation Simulator! Tetris Effect!
PlayStation VR didn’t quite get as much attention during E3 2018 as it did last year, but it’s still a massive part of the PlayStation 4’s portfolio. And this montage trailer showcases just how many cool experiences are on the way – even if it is padded with a handful of the peripheral’s...
E3 2018 Cyberpunk 2077 Still a PS4 Game, Says Dev, After Rumours of PS5 Release
Current-gen still the target
At this point, a lot of people from within the games media have seen Cyberpunk 2077 in action. Developer CD Projekt Red has been showing a 50 minute demo behind closed doors to members of the press, and by all accounts, it's pretty incredible. Many have penned their thoughts, with the majority of articles covering...
E3 2018 Tour the PlayStation Booth with Shuhei Yoshida
Thumbs up
Sony’s not doing many (any?) interviews with press at E3 2018, but here’s a cool video of Shuhei Yoshida touring the PlayStation booth. It’s a marketing fluff piece (and not really a tour, if we’re honest) but it’s just refreshing to actually see the Worldwide Studios president again. We quite like how he’s constantly doing the...
E3 2018 Good News! Final Fantasy VII Remake Is in Development
"It's not just in the early concept stages"
Final Fantasy VII Remake was announced three years ago, but there’s good news for fans of the PSone Classic: the PlayStation 4 version is "actually in development". We’re being facetious, but Tetsuya Nomura’s update to The Verge deserves it – he had the brass neck to tell the tech site that the...

News The Last of Us Has Sold an Outrageous 17 Million Units on PS4, PS3
It can't be for nothing

Soapbox Why Don't We Hear from Sony Executives Anymore?
Off limits
You can brand me a big fat nerd if you want to, but I genuinely look forward to the executive interviews you get around E3 time. I used to anticipate Jack Tretton joining Geoff Keighley, his Hollywood smile only eclipsed by the sweltering Los Angeles sun. And then for a while it was Shuhei Yoshida’s turn to take the spotlight, the...

You’ll be able to play Ghost of Tsushima in Japanese – in fact, Sucker Punch is showing it to the press with subtitles at E3 2018.

Don't want to play Cyberpunk 2077 like a first-person shooter? Good news: you don't have to. In Angry Joe's interview with CD Projekt Red, the developer confirms that the open world role-playing game will feature a full melee system.

Guide Why Doesn't Sony Allow Cross-Play on PS4?
Why PlayStation won't play with Xbox One and Nintendo Switch
Why doesn’t Sony allow cross-play on the PlayStation 4? It’s a question that first cropped up a year ago, when it was announced that Minecraft would operate across the Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, but not the PS4. The question has resurfaced once again with Fortnite. So why won’t...
E3 2018 Insomniac Teases an Appearance from Silver Sable in Spider-Man on PS4
Friend or foe?
At the start of this Spider-Man developer panel, featuring several Insomniac staffers and Game Informer's Andrew Reiner, we saw a ridiculously unsubtle hint about a character that we may well see in the upcoming PS4 exclusive. Silver Sable is a mercenary that resides in the fictional European country named Symkaria, the location...
News Sony Issues Statement Regarding Fortnite Cross-Platform Play on PS4

E3 2018 Sony Unsure of Press Conference Plans for the Rest of the Year
Tokyo Game Show the only certainty
E3 2018 is almost over, so attention is slowly turning to future events and potential press conference venues later in the year. Once upon a time, Sony was a big player at Gamescom, but it hasn’t used the German convention to announce new games in a long time. It did host a briefing at Paris Games Week last year,...

E3 2018 Odyssey Puts the Ass in Assassin's Creed with Totally Open Romance Options
We'll bang, OK?
For the first time ever, Assassin's Creed is getting romance options.

And where there are...
E3 2018 Assassin's Creed Odyssey Won't Give You a Game Over for Harming Innocents
About time
In every Assassin's Creed game up until now, harming enough innocent non-playable characters has resulted in you being 'desynced'. Essentially, this is a game over state -- you're taken out of the game and respawned. Now, we doubt most players attempt to go on regular killing sprees in Assassin's Creed titles, but if you happened to whack...
E3 2018 We Want to Go on Holiday with Vacation Simulator Now
Rest and relaxation
There’s something tactile about virtual reality that Job Simulator tapped in to. The game was slight, but it was laugh out loud funny and extremely interactive, which made for a good three to four hour introduction to PlayStation VR’s features. Now developer Owlchemy Labs is back with Vacation Simulator, a riff on the...
