News In Case You Were Curious, Here's How Gravity Rush's Kat Puts on Her Costume
Curiosity killed the Kat
Ever wondered how Kat from Gravity Rush puts on her distinctive costume? No, us neither, but the series' character designer has taken the time to tweet out a tutorial all the same. Essentially, the friendly superhero starts out with a fabric shirt, and then overlays it with a golden corset. She then adds garters, socks,...

News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Keeps a Healthy Lead as Final Fantasy XV Nears 1 Million
Fantasy's almost a reality
There's not too much going on in the latest Japanese hardware and software charts, but it's nice to see both the PlayStation 4 and Vita ticking along rather nicely. Sony's current-gen console has enjoyed a relatively healthy run of late, and it's sold another 78,927 units last week. Given that the PS4 averaged around...
Soapbox Japan Studio Is Currently One of Sony's Best
East becomes beast
Historically when people have talked about Sony's strong first-party network, Japan Studio has been right at the bottom of the list. One of the platform holder's oldest developers, the division is probably best known for the likes of Ape Escape and Legend of Dragoon, as well as Fumito Ueda's output. But during the PlayStation 3...
News Dead or Alive 5: Last Round's Free-to-Play Version Punches Through 8 Million Downloads
And fiesty boxer Mila's free until February
Publisher Koei Tecmo has announced that Dead or Alive: Last Round's free-to-play package, named Core Fighters, has been downloaded over 8 million times worldwide. The game's available across multiple platforms including PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, but it still seems like a pretty healthy number to us...
News PS4 Exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn May Have Been Slightly Delayed in the UK
Back to the future
Horizon: Zero Dawn is unquestionably one of the PlayStation 4's most important releases of 2017; Guerrilla Games' stunning open world adventure is something that Sony's keen to turn into a real blockbuster, and thankfully, it looks like it has all the right ingredients. The title's due on the 28th February in North America, and...
News Scalebound Director Hideki Kamiya Promises to Keep Delivering Fun Games
Rubbishes mental health reports
For those of you who don't follow the news cycle outside of the PlayStation Nation [It's time to stop using that phrase – Ed], Xbox One exclusive Scalebound was cancelled this week. It was billed as legendary director Hideki Kamiya's "dream game", and considering the veteran was the brainchild behind some big names...
News Sony: We're Working on a Great Number of Still Unannounced PS4 Titles
Oh
Sony's lineup of software is frankly frightening at the moment, but Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida has suggested that there's even more to come. Speaking in the latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation magazine (as translated by Gematsu), the executive said that the company's "working on a great number of still unannounced titles" and that...
News Sometimes There Are PS4 Trailers You've Just Got to Laugh At
And this is one of them
Sony's open door policy has brought plenty of indie gems to the PlayStation 4, but there are times where even we can't help but think… WTF?! Take this trailer for Skylight Freerange 2: Gachduine, a title coming to the PS4 (and, it seems, Vita) in the near future. It's being developed by a Canadian studio named Dragoon, and...
News Feast Your Eyes On the Opening 27 Minutes of RiME
It's RiME time
It has been a long road for the much anticipated RiME after its initial announcement way back in 2013. The title has been plagued by a long development time and publisher struggles with Sony these past few years, but after its re-reveal in late 2016, it looks like we'll finally be getting our hands on it. And just to prove to you...
Video Taking Tales of Berseria's Hectic Combat System for a Spin
Monster mashing
The Tales games have always prided themselves on their combat systems. Typically fast and flashy, the series is sometimes just as much about action as it is role-playing, and that's very likely going to be the case with Tales of Berseria, which is launching on PlayStation 4 near the end of the month. With a playable demo now...
News Summer Lesson Goes for a Day Out on PlayStation VR
Breath of fresh air
PlayStation VR's premium waifu simulator Summer Lesson is about to hit the great outdoors, as Bandai Namco has announced that the title's latest expansion pack will launch on 12th January in Japan. The add-on will see you engaging in a bit of al fresco physical training with Hikari Miyamoto, as she practices sit-ups and baseball...
News Gravity Rush Director to Start Work on New PS4 Game Soon
Sounding the Siren?
Gravity Rush 2 releases imminently on the PlayStation 4, and we really like it. But once director Keiichiro Toyama is done with the title's free expansion pack, he'll be turning his attention to a new project. The former Silent Hill man told Dengeki PlayStation that he expects work to begin in earnest on something fresh soon...
News Some of These Plans for Final Fantasy XV Sound Insane
Character creation, improved final chapters, and more
Final Fantasy XV is a very ambitious game - sometimes for the worse. It can feel like a title that's been pieced together using countless ideas and concepts, and not all of them work as well as they should. It's slightly mad, then, that Square Enix seemingly wants to add so much more to its...
News Nioh's Looking Tasty Running in 4K on PS4 Pro
Geralt, is that you?
It's a slow news day so we can probably just about get away with posting a cut-scene from upcoming Team Ninja developed action role-playing release, Nioh. This one's running in 4K on the PlayStation 4 Pro and, while it's not the most beautiful cinematic you'll ever see, the character models are cool. We quite like the language...
News We Wouldn't Bet on Final Fantasy VII Remake Releasing in 2017
Or Kingdom Hearts III
It's time to drag those dreams into reality: Final Fantasy VII Remake probably isn't launching this year. The project was originally announced at Sony's E3 press conference back in 2015, but aside from one gameplay trailer, we've seen very little of Cloud and the gang's high def revival. In an interview with Famitsu,...
Store Update 10th January 2017 (Europe)
We go again
Disaster averted! We almost popped a big fat '2016' in that headline, but it is of course a new year now. Naturally, the gaming industry is just starting to stumble out of its Christmas-induced slumber, but there's some good stuff on the European PlayStation Store this week in the form of a Tales of Berseria demo and Hatsune Miku:...
News Mass Effect: Andromeda Multiplayer Beta Sounds Like It's Launching This Month
Go team
With Mass Effect: Andromeda securing a March release date, we should be hearing a lot more about BioWare's latest over the next couple of months - and it's about bloody time, if you ask us. Anyway, one aspect that we're eager to hear more about is the title's multiplayer offering. As regular readers will know, this particular scribe was a...
News Expect Details on Final Fantasy XV's DLC and Free Updates Soon
New Active Time Report announced
Now that Final Fantasy XV's been out for over a month, it's probably time for Square Enix to shed some light on what we can expect from the project going forward. At this point, all we know is that the title's getting several slices of downloadable content as part of its season pass, supposedly focusing on the...
News Final Fantasy XV Ships Over 6 Million Copies, Digital Sales Included
Noct bad
Square Enix has revealed that Final Fantasy XV has shipped over six million units worldwide. That figure includes copies shipped to retailers and digital sales, meaning that we don't quite know how many units the game has sold through to the public. As we always say, though, retailers generally aren't in the habit of buying stock that they...
News Sony's Glacier White PS4 Slim Sure Looks Ice
Launching this month in Europe
What better way to battle through the winter months than with an ice cold PlayStation 4 console? Sony's announced that it'll be launching a 500GB Glacier White system starting 24th January in Europe, meaning that you'll have an alternative colour to pick from should you decide to purchase one of the Japanese giant's...
Fur the players
The corest of core PlayStation fans caterwauled for more of Kat and crew, and Japan Studio has delivered in abundance: Gravity Rush 2 is a much, much bigger iteration of Keiichirō Toyama's physics defying favourite – and while it's still far from purr-fect, it's hard to deny that its heart is in the right place. This stylish...
Video Will Gravity Rush 2 on PS4 Turn Your World Upside Down?
Claws out
If you're looking for a written Gravity Rush 2 review, then you'll find one on the other side of this magic Internet warphole. If you want a bit of commentary on Kat's latest adventure tied to a ton of spoiler-free gameplay, though, then that's embedded above. Y'see how we're covering all bases at Push Square these days.

Cool Kat
The embargo for Gravity Rush 2 has lifted, which means that we can finally show you more of the game. Those of you looking for some spoiler-free gameplay footage can find that through here, but we wanted to capture the prologue mission as well because it's a neat introduction to the new title. Obviously don't watch this if you're super wary...
News Tales of Berseria's Demo Is Out Now on PS4
Handy
Tales of Berseria's playable pre-release demo is out right on the European PlayStation Store, weighing in at 444.8MB on the PlayStation 4. We imagine that it'll hit the North American store either just after midnight or at some point tomorrow. The demo should give you a decent taste of the combat system, which is bound to be as frantic as...
News Those Platinum PS4 Headphones Look Like They've Been Delayed Again
Hear, hear
You'd think that a consumer electronics company like Sony wouldn't have too much trouble putting out a pair of headphones, but the anticipated PlayStation 4 Platinum Wireless Headset appears to have been pushed back again. It was originally due out this week, but Amazon's now showing a release date of 31st January. We're guessing that...
Video Does Aqua Moto Racing Utopia Make a Splash on PS4?
Water load of rubbish?
Y'know when you're desperate for a game to be good but it's just not quite there? Aqua Moto Racing Utopia is one of those games. We've been so starved of watersports titles for so long that we hoped that this would fill in the void left by Wave Race 64 and Jet Moto (remember that one?) but it's infuriating at times. We could...
News Here's What Diablo III's PS4 Pro Support Does
The devil's in the details
The tech heads over at Digital Foundry are at it again, this time examining Diablo III's latest PlayStation 4 update, which provides PS4 Pro support. Given that the official patch notes don't actually mention what kind of support to expect, the publication's latest video proves to be a handy guide. The big talking point...
News Skyrim Special Edition Patch 1.05 Out Now on PS4
Time marches on
Bethesda actually revealed this patch before the holidays, but it's only just now made its way to the PlayStation 4 version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Special Edition. Most notably, update 1.05 supposedly fixes the broken slow motion effects that come with certain perks and the Slow Time shout. Normally, you'd move at around...
News NieR: Automata Dev Comments on Controversy Surrounding 2B's Big Bum
Bottom of the barrel
As you may or may not have heard, sparks have been flying over NieR: Automata protagonist 2B's bottom. Those of you who have played the recently released demo may have noticed that the womanly android has a particularly prominent behind, which can be glanced when she's busy climbing ladders or jumping thanks to the fact that she...
News Bethesda May Not Be Interested in More Remasters Like Skyrim on PS4
Fallout 4 is the reason Skyrim got a Special Edition
Following the release and subsequent success of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Special Edition on PlayStation 4, we've seen a lot of people ponder whether Bethesda would be interested in bringing its other last-gen titles forward to Sony's console - namely Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. However,...
Review Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Future Tone (PS4)
Tone stop believin'
2015's Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X was a little bit of a departure for the long-running rhythm game series. Rather than adhering to the traditional, gameplay-focused framework of the franchise set up in earlier instalments, X thrust players into a sugary sweet narrative starring the popular virtual popstar and her equally...
Feature 10 Under-the-Radar PS4 Games To Look Out For In 2017
Not indie bin
2017's looking for like a great year for games already. In January alone, we have Resident Evil 7, Yakuza 0, and Gravity Rush 2 - not to mention the likes of Red Dead Redemption 2 to look out for in the later months. Still, independent developers have plenty to offer this year too, and - continuing on with a tradition that started last...
News UK Sales Charts: Ain't No Stopping the Call of Duty
Nothin' to see here
It may be a New Year, but some things never change: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare has remained at the top of the UK sales charts for the… We've lost count, but it's been a long time now. The game fought off fierce competition from the usual suspects, with FIFA 17 and Grand Theft Auto V coming in just behind. Battlefield 1,...
News Mass Effect: Andromeda Throws Possibility of Season Pass Out the Airlock
Paragon interrupt
We don't know about you, but we're a bit sick of season passes. Granted, sometimes they are worth the price of admission - just look at The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's expansion pass - but more often than not, all a season pass amounts to is the promise of future content at a set price. Content that could quite easily end up being...
News What If Horizon: Zero Dawn Was a LEGO Set?
Yeah, it's a slow news day
Hideo Kojima's busy building LEGO rather than Death Stranding, and his latest project is complete. The auteur's love-in with Guerrilla Games goes on, as he's created Aloy and a Tallneck from Horizon: Zero Dawn using the popular Danish playthings. What more is there to say? Well, we're going to have to pad out another...
Hardware Review Is the Razer Raiju the PS4's True Pro Controller?
Razor's edge
Officially licensed by Sony, the Razer Raiju is one of the PlayStation 4's 'Elite' controllers – the other being the Nacon Revolution. At the time of writing, the Raiju retails for around £150, so it's safe to say that it's a premium piece of gadgetry. In order to pen this review, we spent around 60 hours with the Raiju, playing...
Review Momonga Pinball Adventures (PS4)
Flippin’ squirrels!
Momonga Pinball Adventures is a story-based pinball game with a twist: instead of using a ball you are flipping a squirrel. You take on the role of Momo, a flying squirrel who escaped his village when it was attacked and destroyed by owl bandits. Now with your help, he sets out on a quest to find his "kidnapped" friends and...
News Mafia III Smuggles a Stealth PS4 Pro Patch
In and out
Its popularity may have fallen off a cliff a few days after it launched, but at least Mafia III is still being supported by developer Hanger 13. As pointed out by Digital Foundry, the sandbox crime sim has very quietly received a PS4 Pro update - there's apparently no mention whatsoever of Pro support in the patch notes, which seems a bit...

News Superhero Brawler Injustice 2 Uppercuts PS4 on 16th May
Fight!
Injustice 2 will enter the ring on 16th May, creative director Ed Boon has revealed on Twitter.

Doesn't really take a genius to figure out, does it? NetherRealm titles...
News Confirmed! PS4 Players Are Gaming's Biggest W*nkers
The best place to play (with yourself)
Popular adult website Porn Hub has posted its annual traffic statistics, revealing what we already know: PlayStation 4 owners are the biggest w*nkers in gaming.

Feature How PS4 Can Fend Off the Nintendo Switch and Xbox Scorpio in 2017
Ways Sony can stay on top in 2017
You could say that Sony played all of its trump cards in 2016. Between the PlayStation 4 Slim, PlayStation VR, and, of course, the PlayStation 4 Pro, you may be forgiven for thinking that the Japanese giant's got nothing to offer over the next 12 months. You'd be wrong, though, because the manufacturer's got one big...

Super effective?
In case you missed the news earlier this week, Mass Effect: Andromeda finally has a confirmed release date.

News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Ends 2016 On Top
Last but not least
The final Japanese hardware and software charts of 2016 are in, and the PlayStation 4 has reclaimed its place at the top of the former. Sony's current-gen console jumped Nintendo's New 3DS LL, shifting a relatively healthy 73,421 units. That means the PS4 manged to sell through almost 1.8 million units in Japan last year. Not an...
News Sony Reveals The Most Downloaded PS4 Games of 2016
Rocket to the top
As is tradition, Sony has revealed the PlayStation Network's most downloaded games of the last year. Topping the 2016 charts in both North America and Europe was the seemingly eternal Rocket League, which originally launched back in 2015. That's an impressive run of form from the simple but stupidly effective title. Battlefield 1...
Hands On Going Back to Hell with Diablo III's Retro Dungeon
Where it all began
Diablo III is a game that just keeps on giving. Ever since it launched on PlayStation 4 back in 2014, developer Blizzard has been tweaking and adding to the title on a regular basis, enticing players to dive back into the action role-playing game in the process. The studio's latest attempt to reel in both new and old blood is the...
News Danganronpa V3 Disables PS4 Share Button To Avoid Spoilers
Goodbye despair
Spoilers are a terrible thing when it comes to plot-heavy games like Danganronpa, so it's perhaps no surprise to hear that developer Spike Chunsoft is doing away with the PlayStation 4's share button past chapter 2 in upcoming sequel Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. "In order to prevent spoilers for Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony,...
News SEGA Raises Hopes with Shenmue HD Domain Registration

News Here's 30 Seconds of Bloodstained to Tide You Backers Over
Great?
These high-profile Kickstarter games have been a bit of a disaster, haven't they? We mean, first there was Mighty No. 9, which is currently bathing in the PlayStation Store's bargain bin juice. Then there was Shenmue III, which is still relying on Photoshopped images of protagonist Ryo Hazuki face. And finally there was Bloodstained, the one...

Asobo Studio stretches its legs
Focus Home Interactive may be considered a budget publisher, but its portfolio is slowly starting to strengthen.

There's very little to go on at the time of typing, but the key art shows a...
News Oh, Right! There's a Project CARS 2 Still Coming to PS4
Here's an update on its progress
The original Project CARS was… Alright, we suppose. If memory serves, the Slightly Mad Studios developed simulation sold rather well on the PlayStation 4, and probably owed much of its success to the absence of Gran Turismo Sport on the console. It's, of course, worth mentioning that Polyphony Digital's new-gen...

Talking Point Will Sony Really Let the Uncharted Series Rest?
Hang up your half-tuck
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End has sold 8.7 million copies globally since it launched less than a year ago.

Guide How to Find Diablo III's Anniversary Dungeon
Hell and back again
Diablo III's latest patch added in a whole new dungeon to celebrate the original Diablo's 20th anniversary. Naturally, said dungeon is a 16-floor remake of the first game, complete with pixelated visuals, old enemies, and retro sound effects. In short, it's pretty cool. However, the dungeon is only available for a limited time...

Does Metalhead's baseball extravaganza hit a home run?

Talking Point What Sort of Story Do You Want Out of Spider-Man PS4?
Great power, great responsibility
While the IMDB "leak" regarding Spider-Man PS4 is almost certainly inaccurate – and Insomniac Games has even stressed as much – it has raised an interesting question: what kind of story do you want out of this PlayStation 4 exclusive adaptation? While the game was announced over six months ago, there's been very...
