News PS4's YouTube App Scores 360 Degree Video Support with PlayStation VR
Extra immersion
In the UK, we have an expression called "sod's law", which basically means that when you say something, the opposite is almost certain to occur. So as we uploaded a video complaining about Sony's treatment of PlayStation VR today, it was pretty inevitable that the platform holder would make some sort of meaningful announcement...
News The Town of Light Promises a PS4 Experience Unlike Any Other

News Final Fantasy XV's Chocobo Carnival Event Invites You to a First Look Later Today
Kweh
Final Fantasy XV's Moogle Chocobo Carnival is incoming, and it's safe to say that we know basically bugger all about it. Will it add a bunch of fun-for-about-five-minutes minigames to the release? Will it bring more boring fetch quests to keep Noct and the boys busy? We couldn't tell you right now, but at least we should be getting some answers...

News PS4 Sales Double Xbox One, Claims Report
Sony supposedly has a gigantic lead
Ever since Microsoft stopped reporting on its Xbox One numbers, actually gauging the difference in sales between the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 has been difficult.

Bagsy the best controller
Yooka-Laylee's shaping up to be something special, isn't it? The upcoming PlayStation 4 platformer isn't exactly breaking new ground, but it's been so long since we've played a Banjo-Kazooie-esque sandbox romp that we can't wait to take Playtonic's love letter for a spin.

'Cos Capcom ain't sayin' much
Resident Evil 7 releases in less than a week, but questions are still circling Capcom's latest like a bad smell. Can you play the game without PlayStation VR? Is there a co-op mode?

Star wars
As far as "classic video game genres" go, top-down space shooters are a bread-and-butter staple of the medium. While gems of the genre once ruled arcades and home-consoles alike, in modern times they've become dime-a-dozen, mostly relegated to portable devices and mobile phones. Within that landscape, any game of that type will have to do...

Utawhat now?
We may have to copy and paste its name over and over again in order to write this article, but the Utawarerumono series is heading West later this year. And yes, we say series because there are actually two titles coming in 2017: Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception and Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth. The former hits this spring, and the...

PS4 still king of hardware
It's taken quite a few weeks, but PlayStation's finally managed to get a couple of titles to the top of the Japanese software charts.

News Final Fantasy XV PS4 Patch Adds More Photographing Features
Say cheese
Final Fantasy XV's getting a free PlayStation 4 patch on 24th January which will add some new features, including a so-called "self-photographing" mechanic which will allow you to freely take snaps outside of battle. This means that rather than rely on Prompto's clumsy Canon control, you'll be able to point his lens wherever you like –...

A new cyberpunk adventure
2064: Read Only Memories launched on the PlayStation 4 today, and we've got you covered with a review and gameplay footage.

News Watch Dogs 2 Hacks Together a Free Demo on PS4
And you can download it now
Ubisoft's released a playable demo for Watch Dogs 2 on the PlayStation 4, and it appears to be quite meaty. You can actually sample the whole game - co-op and all - but you'll only be able to play for three hours before it ends. We suppose that with an open world title like Watch Dogs 2, though, this format makes more...
Review 2064: Read Only Memories (PS4)
Beds are Turing
2064: Read Only Memories is a game about artificial intelligence. Indeed, it's a game about both the interpersonal intricacies of machine sapience, and its broader societal implications. It's also a game about gentrification, and the way capitalism chews up and spits out disadvantaged people. It's a game about all of these things,...

Echo bluff
What if you were blind and your only means of "seeing" was via echolocation? You probably wouldn't head to a haunted house, where any noise stands the chance of attracting a dark presence, right?

And some fans are a little worried
Don't jump to any conclusions just yet, but it sounds like Mass Effect: Andromeda's multiplayer offering will reward you with stuff that you can use in the game's single-player campaign.

News Persona 5's Soundtrack Is as Brilliant as You'd Expect
Get up, get out there
The Persona series has some of the best, most memorable music in gaming - and we're not sure many people would argue with us on that one.

News Remastered Boss Rush Title Malicious Fallen Swoops onto Western PS4s This Year
Fall back in
Okay, hands up: who remembers Malicious on PlayStation 3? Not many of you, we assume.

News PS4 Samurai Slasher Nioh Is a Fusion of Dark Souls and Diablo, Says Director
Ni-oh yeah
Ever since its re-reveal, Nioh has constantly been compared to the Dark Souls series - and to be fair, it's easy to see why. Koei Tecmo's upcoming title is an action role-playing game that demands patience, caution, and fast reflexes, after all. It's also got a suitably dark and menacing feel to it. At least Nioh director Fumihiko Yasuda...
Review Siegecraft Commander (PS4)
Under siege
The first casualty of war is potentially your mental health if you fire up Siegecraft Commander, which takes the novel idea of crossing a real-time strategy (RTS) game with the tactical control of a tower defence title. Sounds good and Blowfish Studios has a good track record of making compelling games, so let's slip the dogs of war and...

More pages than Mass Effect Andromeda's
Horizon: Zero Dawn is an open world role-playing release according to Guerrilla Games, but many have questioned whether it will really live up to that description.

We already know that art director Yoji Shinkawa,...
News Don't Worry About Mass Effect Andromeda's Most Important Asset
The banging will be good, apparently
Let's be brutally honest here: the main appeal of the Mass Effect franchise are the bedroom scenes. BioWare's one of the few developers to actually recognise sex as a regular activity – even if the whole interspecies stuff at play is a bit, y'know, weird. And the animations are awkward. And it's all a bit...

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 151
Switch it up
An exciting week comes to an end, with the Nintendo Switch now a known quantity. Of course, that's a topic of discussion for Nintendo Life and not necessarily Push Square. We've had a busy week as well, though, reviewing the likes of Gravity Rush 2 – and let me tell you, we're crunching really hard on a number of January's big titles...
News New Nioh Screenshots Show a Super Slick Looking PS4 Title
Samurai spirit
Y'know, the more we see of it, the more we think Nioh's got a really nice art style.

In Nioh's alternate history, the bloodshed has given rise to spirits -...

Family affairs
Did you think today's free God of War song was a bit of an anticlimax after the community worked hard to get the trailer up to 15 million views?

A-team
You may have seen Has-Been Heroes listed as part of the Nintendo Switch launch lineup, but the game is also coming to the PlayStation 4.

News Is This the PlayStation YouTube Channel's Worst Ever Trailer?
Here comes a new challenger
Wow, the official PlayStation YouTube channel is on a roll with these embarrassing game trailers. Earlier this week, we posted about the frankly baffling Skylight Freerange 2: Gachduine trailer, which is about as low budget as it gets. Despite its lack of quality, though, it's at least an entertaining watch. It's so bad...
Talking Point Should Sony Move Horizon: Zero Dawn's PS4 Launch Away from the Nintendo Switch?
Decisions, decisions
There are two certainties in life: the first is that we'll all die, and the other is that you can't compete with a console launch. While many paragraphs will be written about last night's Nintendo Switch presentation, the folks at Guerrilla Games will probably be too bummed to read them – after all, its big new intellectual...

For those unfamiliar, this game crosses Puyo Puyo with...
News PS4 Exclusives Lead DICE Awards 2017 Nominations
Uncharted 4 and The Last Guardian lead the way
If you consider Geoff Keighley's The Game Awards to be the equivalent of an MTV awards show, then the DICE Awards are a bit like the Oscars: there are no music performances or ill-conceived razor commercials, just game developers looking awkward in tuxedos. The point is that being nominated for a DICE...
News PS4 Wins the All-Important December NPD
Not a massive surprise
After a handful of months losing out to the Xbox One in the NPD, the PlayStation 4 has restored normal order, by winning the all-important December report.

80s revival
