  • News UK Sales Charts: Titanfall 2 Fails to Make an Impact on PS4

    FPS flops

    Despite being billed as one of the best shooter campaigns in years, Titanfall 2 has struggled to make an impact on the UK sales charts – even with the franchise making its PlayStation 4 debut. Early estimates show that the title struggled to sell half of what the original managed on the Xbox One alone, though the tracking period does...

  • News Ni no Kuni II Finally Gets a Mention as Developer Reveals Kingdom Building

    About time

    It feels like an eternity has passed since we last heard anything about Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom. The incredibly pretty role-playing game was revealed during last year's PlayStation Experience, and we've heard absolutely nothing about the release since. Fortunately, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino has at least confirmed that the Japanese...

  • Push Rewind PlayStation Plus, Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2, Skyrim

    A wonderful weeb

    The news has definitely dried up lately as new releases take centre stage, but a hack on No Man's Sky developer Hello Games' servers certainly made for some entertaining stories this week. Elsewhere, we've mostly just been reviewing everything that's coming out – we're thick in the busy Christmas period right now, folks...

  • Review Carnival Games VR (PS4)

    Infinite bore fair

    Ah, this is just what PlayStation VR needed: a minigame collection. And not just any superficial smorgasbord of banal activities either, but the granddaddy of the genre: Carnival Games VR.

  • Review Mark McMorris Infinite Air (PS4)

    Snowbored

    We haven't had a snowboarding game in a while, let alone a good one – and you could say the same of the entire extreme sports genre as a whole. The last shredding simulator came out in 2012, and even then it wasn't a very good one; it seems that the golden age of SSX and Shaun White Snowboarding on PS2 is well and truly over. Mark...

  • Rumour Uncharted 4 Story DLC to Climb into PSX 2016

    'The biggest Naughty Dog's ever done'

    While it sounds like God of War will be skipping PSX 2016, there's a good chance that you'll be seeing more of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End – well, its single player expansion, to be precise. According to Let's Play Video Games – the same site that's been breaking Nintendo Switch news like there's no tomorrow...

  • News God of War Will Conceal Its Rage from PSX 2016

    That's not Norse

    God of War will suck up its anger and bottle it up for another day, as director Cory Barlog has insinuated that the reboot will not be at PSX 2016 later this year. Many had hoped that we'd get a brand new glimpse of Kratos and his son at the convention in Anaheim, but it's looking like Sony Santa Monica will be keeping the release...

  • News PS4 Pro Consoles Are Starting to Be Shipped to Stores

    10th November nears

    This is very much happening: the PlayStation 4 Pro is starting to be shipped to stores – or its packaging is, at least. These images of the console's cardboard wrapper appeared on Reddit, and seem to be American due to the references to the ESRB ratings board. The slogan on the back states that "game worlds come alive" with the...

  • Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 141

    Time for change

    The clocks are changing here in the UK, which means that life's about to get approximately 3.23 per cent more depressing starting Saturday evening. It's a good thing that there's PlayStation to keep us pre-occupied from the miserable mire that this existence involves, eh? Sammy Barker, Editor: I've been yanked back into the real...

  • News Sony's Platinum Headset Delayed into January

    Not even PS4's headphones can make the holidays

    It's a truth universally acknowledged that Sony doesn't like the holidays – after all, when's the last time it released a major game in October or November? Exactly. And now it looks like its hardware is set to share the same fate; while the PlayStation 4 Pro is still very much on track for 10th...

  • Video Weeping Doll Has the Worst Voice Acting on PS4

    Cry baby

    Lara Croft is no longer the worst voiced character on PlayStation 4; that Golden Raspberry's been scooped up by Artong [No idea how you spell that one – Ed] in Weeping Doll, a new PlayStation VR horror game launched this week. This is very much a game in the same vein as P.T. or Layers of Fear, but the dialogue kills any sense of...

Rebellion has released patch v1.02 today which enhances the virtual reality exclusive for Sony's new hardware, and you can expect sharper image quality and...

  • Review Dark Souls III: Ashes of Ariandel (PS4)

    ​The weather outside is frightful

    Enter The Painted World via the grovelling NPC at the Cleansing Chapel bonfire and you're plunged into a harsh and isolated environment, with vision-impairing snow and unfamiliar faces. Wolves hunt you down and axe-wielding warriors make the very earth beneath you quake. It seems like a tough environment where...

  • News Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 Brings More Goofy Naming Conventions to PS4

    Sigh

    There's a circle in Hell where Satan punishes sinners by forcing them to write Kingdom Hearts articles for eternity – Dante Alighieri just forgot to mention it in his Inferno. Clearly we got up to some bad stuff in a previous life, because there's Kingdom Hearts news coming out of Mickey Mouse's exaggerated ears right now. Sigh. So, it's...

  • News Final Fantasy XV Will Expand with Online Co-Op Mode

    But it'll be DLC

    Final Fantasy XV's road trip premise is ripe for some kind of online co-op, and that's exactly what you'll be getting post-release. To coincide with the long-awaited title going gold today, Square Enix has revealed the contents of the outing's controversial $24.99 Season Pass. And one of the add-ons, named 'Comrades', will bring...

  • News Cinematic Final Fantasy XV Trailer Is One of Its Very Best

    Hopefully the game is this good

    Regular readers will know that we're usually not huge fans of CG trailers, but wow, this latest one for Final Fantasy XV is one heck of a ride.

  • News Final Fantasy XV Has Gone Gold, We Can Hardly Believe It

    Fantasy made reality

    Yes, you read that headline right: Final Fantasy XV has officially gone gold. In other words, the game is finished and ready to be mass produced. A surreal realisation, we're sure you'll agree.

    Virtual revolution?

    It's been two weeks since PlayStation VR released, and the headset is pretty much sold out around the world.

  • News Sony Restocks European Retailers with Big PS4 Bundles

    But they're not PS4 Pros

  • Review Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 (PS4)

    Make a wish

    Dragon Ball XenoVerse certainly wasn't perfect, but for a mostly fresh take on the Dragon Ball license it got a lot of things right, and its direct sequel, Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2, isn't looking to shake things up. Instead, this is a brawler that takes the typical Japanese sequel route, in that it's happy to keep the fundamentals in...

  • News Game of the Year Knack Will Be Enhanced by PS4 Pro

    But what about Bloodborne?

    Knack may not be a bad game, but it's certainly become a laughing stock over the years.

  • Review SportsBarVR (PS4)

    Pot luck

    SportsBarVR is, as you'd no doubt guess, a virtual reality sports bar, which has all the attractions of a real sports bar minus the alcohol and the live footy. This leaves you with pool, darts, air hockey, and skeeball, with more due to be added in the future. Pool is the most interesting game on offer here, and it's playable in four...

  • News Sony's Turning to Third-Parties for an Elite PS4 Controller

    Pro tip

    It's safe to say that demand for an Elite PlayStation 4 controller is mounting, but for whatever reason, Sony seems intent on leaving cash on the table.

  • News Wow, Moogles Have Really Fallen From Grace in Final Fantasy XV

    From mascot to punching bag

    Moogles have long been a staple of the Final Fantasy series.

  • News Evolve's No Longer Going Free-to-Play on PS4

    Devolve

    Evolve is finished. The first-person shooter which gobbled up Game of the Show awards like they were going out of fashion has been dropped by developer Turtle Rock – mere months after going free-to-play on PC. It's safe to assume that the complimentary release didn't catch fire quite like the studio wanted it to. This all means that the...

  • News PSN Down as Engineers Work to Resolve Issues

    Offline and out

    We thought that Sony was on top of these PlayStation Network outages, but a major DDoS attack seems to have unsettled the firm's good run of form. The service is down again this morning, with the platform holder reporting that engineers are on the case as we type. Offline time has been kept to a minimum of late, so there's a good...

  • News Yakuza 6 Scores a Snazzy PS4 Hardware Bundle

    But it ain't a PS4 Pro

    We're not entirely convinced that we understand Sony's decision to promote the PlayStation 4 Slim ahead of the impending PS4 Pro, but we're sure that it's all part of some masterplan. Nevertheless, the platform holder will be spotlighting the diminutive device ahead of its triple-tiered brother for the release of Yakuza 6, in...

  • Store Update 25th October 2016 (Europe)

    All the fun of the fair

    These PlayStation Store updates get more ridiculous by the week. There are no less than 37 new PlayStation 4 games launching as part of today's European restock, though there are some bundles and duplicates padding that number out a touch. Still… What?! These are crazy times, readers. PS4 Games: Farming Simulator 17 –...

    Blown away

    We don't always cover launch trailers here on Push Square, but Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2's celebratory video is a tad too epic to pass up.

    Today's unexpected PlayStation 4 firmware update may still be vague, but it's bringing "quality" to the system's performance – rather than the usual "stability". Weighing in at 312.1MB and mandatory if you want to play online, v4.05 is available now. It's unclear at the time of typing what improvements it actually brings, but...

    Corny

    It may have inspired a throng of gag games, but Farming Simulator 17 remains just about as serious as simulations come.

It's hard labour of the kind...

    Blockbuster

    The Batman: Arkham series has housed some of the best superhero games of all time – Spider-Man 2 and perhaps Deadpool aside – so it's easy to see why Warner Bros and Rocksteady decided to return to Arkham with, er, Batman: Return to Arkham. Consisting of Arkham Asylum and Arkham City (along with all DLC), right off the bat it's hard...

    Good job, gang

    Battlefield won

    Battlefield 1 launched strongly in the UK, outselling the combined week one tally of both Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline.

    As one of the deadliest conflicts in human history, World War I had a massive impact on the twentieth century.
