News PlayStation Experience 2016 Heads to Anaheim in December
Is your body ready?
PlayStation Experience 2016 is happening after all. There had been some speculation that Sony may cancel its annual fan gathering, but an official website has been updated revealing that the show will be hosted at the Anaheim Convention Centre on 3rd and 4th December. This means there'll be one last press conference for you to...
Review Dead Rising Triple Pack (PS4)
They live again
With Dead Rising 4 mere months away – though not for PlayStation gamers – the time is right for an opportunistic re-release of some of the earlier games. Acting as a prefect primer for the series, this re-release triple pack includes Dead Rising, Dead Rising 2, and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, and if you don't fancy shelling...
Returning to the first line
With NHL 17 being the second version of EA's hockey sim to be released since the shameful PlayStation 4 debut that was NHL 15, fans of puck-based sports were rightfully expecting the good work done in last year's edition to carry on through and be improved upon even further to really bring the franchise into the current...
News Battlefield 1 Goes Michael Bay in PS4 Story Trailer
War never changes
Hmmm, we're not sure what to think of Battlefield 1's story trailer. We suppose on the one hand the presentation is spectacular – from the visuals to the voice acting and the orchestral audio – but on the other it's all a bit, well… Cringe, isn't it? Maybe it's us, but it feels like a trailer for a movie that came out in the...
Hands On Could Horizon: Zero Dawn Be Sony's Next Big Blockbuster?
Aloy, saveloy
The best thing about PlayStation is that it's reinvented itself time and time again. Sony's original console was defined by Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon, but a contractual blunder meant that both series went multiformat. Sony had to reinvent itself, and we saw the introduction of Jak & Daxter and Sly Cooper. Now on its...
News Final Fantasy XV Live PS4 Gameplay Demo Shows Customisation, Side Activities, and More
On the road again
Without the recent delay, Final Fantasy XV would have been launching just three days from now on PlayStation 4 - but don't let that fact get you down just yet. Courtesy of PlayStation Access' live show at EGX 2016, we've got our hands on 20 minutes of unedited Final Fantasy XV gameplay, which showcases character and car...

Plus a new English trailer
We've been watching so much Yakuza 6 gameplay recently that we almost forgot Yakuza 0 is heading West early next year. Featuring a much younger Kazuma Kiryu, this should prove to be another memorable romp through Japan's seedy underbelly. You can learn more about our legendary protagonist and the sticky situation that he's...
Store Update 27th September 2016 (Europe)
Back of the net
Stock up on baked beans, say goodbye to your loved ones, plump your favourite cushion – the Christmas rush is here. Well, technically not quite actually. Don't get us wrong, this is a busy European PlayStation Store update, but it's padded by about a billion different versions of FIFA 17, which makes it look larger than it is. PS4...
News Dragon Quest Builders Digs Up PS4, Vita Demo
Build me up, Bildrick
It may be utterly overshadowed by the Hollywood blockbusters due out next month, but Dragon Quest Builders is looking block solid from where we're sitting. And if you're interested in the game yourself, then you may want to check out the title's demo, which is launching on the PlayStation 4 and Vita today. "In this...
News New Berserk PS4 Gameplay Focuses on a Very Bad Man
Ugh, not this guy
If you're familiar with Berserk, then you'll probably already know that Wyald, leader of the Black Dog Knights, is a bit of a villain. A demon in humanoid form, he's a ruthless and downright horrible individual who controls his band of fellow scum through fear. In the source material, we see Wyald do some unspeakable things -...
News Is Long Awaited Sequel Beyond Good & Evil 2 Back On?
Turn the Pey'j
Beyond Good & Evil 2 seems to have been in the pipeline for an eternity, and now Ubisoft veteran Michel Ancel has hinted that the project may be back on. The Wild Sheep Studio founder – who's also working with Sony on the fascinating PlayStation 4 exclusive WiLD – posted a most interesting picture on Instagram today: concept...
Hands On Sonic Mania on PS4 Runs Rings Around Recent Entries
Super Sonic
Let's face it: aside from Sonic Generations, the Blue Blur's had a pretty iffy history on PlayStation consoles. The hog's starred in a couple of decent Wii titles – and he's even enjoyed a handful of decent handheld outings – but the character's struggled to live up to his iconic legacy on the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and now...
First Impressions Bloodying Our Blades in the For Honor PS4 Alpha
No guts, no glory
For Honor is a medieval melee-based action title that's set in a land totally ruined by a natural disaster - its people left to fight for their survival. This is where three warriors come across one pool of water, and although they could share it, a brawl ensues because of pure greed. These initial three fighters go on to form the...
News Rise of the Tomb Raider Has a Ridiculous 125 Trophies on PS4
That's a Lara gamerscore
This must be some sort of record: Rise of the Tomb Raider will release with a whopping 125 Trophies on the PlayStation 4. The trinkets span the main game alongside its many expansion packs, and consist of an eye-watering 118 bronze trinkets. The remaining seven gongs are divided up between five silver, one gold, and one...
Shoulda stayed home
It always stings a little when you get your hopes up for a game and it disappoints you upon release. Sure, there are different tiers to this; for instance, it's hard to find a recent game that upset more people at launch than No Man's Sky. But often that initial letdown leads to hyperbole; there are titles that fall short of...
Solitary confinement
The FMV genre has had a bit of a renaissance lately. Her Story and Contradiction: Spot The Liar both released to a positive amount of fanfare over on the PC, and now it's time for the PlayStation 4 to get its own full motion adventure. The Bunker marks quite a change in scenery for developer Wales Interactive, a studio that's...
Swish
The NBA 2K series has always been the most eye-catching of sport game franchises because of its excellent presentation and attention to detail, not to mention its stunningly realised visuals. NBA 2K17 is no different, and ups the ante to make quite possibly one of the best sporting experiences on PlayStation. Sure, it doesn't have any huge...
Feature PlayStation VR Has the Power to Elicit Real-World Reactions
Don't look down
There are two things that make virtual reality extra impressive: scale and physical reactions. As we've said so many times, you really need to wear the headset to understand just how affecting these assets are, but we also appreciate that it's not easy for everyone to get eyes-on time with the device. As such, we've already tried to...
News 16 Minutes of Mafia III Gameplay Outlines Stealth and Gunplay
Either way will do
We've lost count of how many trailers 2K Games has released for Mafia III, but we're pretty sure that none of them have been as comprehensive as the video that we've embedded above. The clip contains around 16 minutes of gameplay from next month's sandbox crime-'em-up, highlighting the various ways that you can tackle missions...
News UK Sales Charts: BioShock: The Collection Is Still the Big Daddy
Ayn achievement
A lack of new releases mean that BioShock: The Collection maintained its place at the summit of the UK sales charts this week, fending off PES 2017: Pro Evolution Soccer for a second term. Destiny: The Collection was the only new entry in fourth, with most fans of that series locked into the PlayStation Store these days. Overwatch...
News Shovel Knight Brings More Fanservice to PS4 Platformer Yooka-Laylee
We're diggin' it
Yooka-Laylee exists to please old-school Nintendo gamers. Having gone hands-on with the PlayStation 4 platformer earlier this week, we can confirm that it's quite literally Banjo-Kazooie running on modern hardware – even the use of the Unity engine ensures an authentic N64-esque 20 frames-per-second throughout. But what about...
Mission Blog Chapter 6 - Boldly Going
The final frontier
The black hole was alarmingly close. It was an arresting if slightly terrifying sight, with an attractive blue aura surrounding a harshly defined circle of darkness. Though No Man's Sky's black holes offer some of the most striking (and perilously inviting) views in the game, my curiosity got the better of me just before I flew...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 136

You know the drill: let us know what you're playing down below. Jacob Hull, Reviewer: It's a Premier League weekend, so just you try and...
First Impressions PS4 Pro Represents a Sizeable Step Forward
A new Horizon
Looking at Guerrilla's eye-wateringly pretty dinosaur destroying role-playing game Horizon: Zero Dawn on the PlayStation 4 Pro initially reveals the game that you have in your imagination; it's only when the upgraded version is observed back-to-back with its standard PS4 release that the stark contrast comes into alarming focus...
News Ogle Rise of the Tomb Raider's Assets on PS4 Pro
Careful now
What a difference a year makes. Just 12 months ago, Rise of the Tomb Raider was one of the tentpole titles in Microsoft's "greatest ever" Xbox lineup -- and now it's one of the posterchilds of the PlayStation 4 Pro. Maybe -- just maybe -- Square Enix played a blinder after all. Or, perhaps, this title's going to flop for the second or...
News Tap Up 30 Minutes of Watch Dogs 2 Gameplay
Hacked off
It's one of the biggest games of the year, but our looks at Watch Dogs 2 have been limited to say the least. Ubisoft, ever the experts at earning column inches for their wares, has hooked up the enthusiast press with tons of new gameplay footage -- and because our invite got lost in the post, we've reproduced Eurogamer.net's coverage for...

This episode, we catch up on all the latest new from the PlayStation Meeting and Tokyo Game Show. Plus, we...
Poll What Do You Think of Destiny: Rise of Iron?
Is it hot stuff?
Ah, trusty old Destiny - a game that's pretty much the perfect fodder for a Friday poll such as this. The shooter's latest expansion, Rise of Iron, launched earlier this week on PlayStation 4, and its brand new six-player Raid is releasing later today. Judging by the amount of buzz that the DLC has generated around the 'net, it's...
Talking Point What October PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?
Free the freebies
The price has gone up in North America, but few could be disappointed with September 2016's selection of free PlayStation Plus games. Between the excellent Journey and the agreeable Lords of the Fallen, the PlayStation 4 alone played host to two really worthwhile downloads last time out. But now it's time to starting thinking about...
News Iceland Isn't in FIFA 17 Because EA Didn't Offer Enough Money For the Rights
Ice cold
If you kept up with this summer's Euro tournament, you'll know that Iceland did incredibly well for a team made up of relative nobodies from a very sparsely populated country. One of the lowest ranked sides in the tournament, Iceland made it all the way to the quarterfinals - and they even knocked out England to get there. Naturally, the...
Video Is Battlezone the Best Game on PlayStation VR?
Tank you very much
We're here at EGX 2016, which means we're beaming hastily crafted articles and shoddily edited videos straight to your eyeballs from a room the size of a shoebox. No, seriously -- that last bit wasn't even a joke. The good news is that we've got all of 2016's -- and some of 2017's -- biggest games on tap, and we'll be bringing you...
News Bungie Teases Destiny: Rise of Iron Raid with New Trailer
Not long to go
We hope that you've spent the last two days grinding for better gear in Destiny: Rise of Iron, because you're going to need it soon enough. The expansion's incoming six-player Raid, named Wrath of the Machine, goes live at 10:00AM PT / 18:00PM BST on the 23rd September, and Bungie's released a slick teaser trailer to remind you of...
News The Division Is Still the Best Selling Game of 2016, Ubisoft Reminds Us
But is anyone still playing it?
We remember the lead up to The Division's launch like it was yesterday. The online shooter had a huge amount of hype behind it, with many claiming that it was fated to be the next big thing. It then released to solid reviews and plenty of sales. For a while, it's safe to say that The Division was a hit. However, it...
Hands On Destiny: Rise of Iron Seems Like Another Solid Expansion
Bringing the fire
We've sunk about 10 hours into Destiny: Rise of Iron, and in that time, we've completed the main set of story quests, tackled several side objectives, and jumped about ten light levels. We've perused some super cool looking armour, glanced at a few tempting exotics, killed more Splicers than we care to count, and spent minutes at a...
Live Feast Your Eyes on Some Tekken 7 PS4 at EGX 2016
Return of the King
Up for some Iron Fist, are you? Well, you're in luck, because Twitch is at this year's EGX - along with our very own Sammy Barker - and it's taking a look at Bandai Namco's Tekken 7 booth. From what we understand, there are daily tournaments happening at the event, so we'll likely see some new gameplay and hear a bit more about...

News It's Serpico's Turn in Latest Berserk Gameplay Trailer
Blowing a gale
We've doomed ourselves with these Berserk and the Band of the Hawk trailers, because we can't in good conscience stop covering them now that we've started - even if they're about thirty seconds in length. This latest one gives us our first proper look at Serpico, the cunning tactician of Guts' group, who uses a feathered blade that...
Reminder PlayStation Plus Prices Increase in North America Tomorrow
You've been warned
A friendly reminder for all of you with active PlayStation Plus subscriptions: the price of the service will increase in the United States and Canada starting tomorrow. You won't be charged any extra money until your membership lapses, but we figured that it was worth positing a subtle reminder should you be due to be charged any...
Soapbox Uncharted 4's Higher Difficulties Kill the Joy of Combat
Joey Thurmond's sick of sitting behind cover
I'm on chapter 20 of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, having just escaped explosive deathtraps with a good companion by my side. We're ready to take on the bad guys that have taken another friend hostage, and I happen to see him attempting to escape from my vantage point. I'm overlooking a vast cove run dry...

News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Numbers Skyrocket Thanks to Slim Release and Persona 5
That's more like it
Remember last week when we speculated that the PlayStation 4 would probably jump back to around the 20,000 mark and continue to stay there? Well, it turns out that we underestimated the Power of PlayStation, as it were. With the help of the newly released Slim model, sales of Sony's current-gen console absolutely skyrocketed,...
News Persona 5 Is the Fastest Selling Persona Game in 20 Years
Tops latest Japanese charts on PS4
Persona 5's opening week sales are in, and they're looking pretty good - especially if you're a company named Atlus. The highly anticipated title, which launched in Japan on the 15th September, topped the country's latest software charts on PlayStation 4, while second place was snatched up by the PlayStation 3...
Review Slain: Back from Hell (PS4)
Still in hell
Slain: Back from Hell is a game that captures your attention immediately. It's a heavy metal inspired 2D hack-and-slash with some of the most beautiful pixel graphics and art design that you'll see. In an age where games using the pixel-art style are a dime a dozen, Slain stands out from the crowd not only with its metal aesthetic, but...
News Warhammer: The End Times - Vermintide Plagues PS4 This Autumn
Get the rat poison ready
We'd almost totally forgotten about Warhammer: The End Times - Vermintide, and then developer FatShark comes up with a moody launch trailer out of nowhere. The first person co-op kill-'em-up released last year on PC, where it praised for its solid gameplay and creepy atmosphere. It'll be bringing its specific brand of...

Iron-ic
Time to trade in all of your Strange Coins for Destiny: Rise of Iron – if only they were a legitimate currency, eh? Those of you not obsessed with Bungie's latest will probably want to know what else is on offer this week, with Dear Esther: Landmark Edition and The Bunker being obvious choices. PS4 Games: Dear Esther Landmark...
Review Batman: The Telltale Series - Episode 2: Children of Arkham (PS4)
Cobblehot
Bruce Wayne's parents were murdered, y'know? The second instalment of Telltale's burgeoning Batman yarn wastes no time reminding you of the most pivotal point in DC Comics lore, with brooding billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne casting a shadow over Crime Alley. Fortunately, the episode quickly deviates from the banal backstory that's been...
News Persona 5's Limited PS4 Steelbook Design Is Super Stylish
As you'd expect
Announced a while back, Persona 5 is getting a special launch edition when it releases here in the West next year.

You'll be able to get your hands on this one if you nab Persona 5 on PlayStation 4 at...
News New English Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization Trailer Is All About a Girl
As per usual
If you've been following Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization, you'll probably already know that the game's plot revolves around an unknown girl named Premiere - a non-playable character who we suspect is at the heart of more than one mystery. The role-playing title's latest English trailer nails that point home, as we're bombarded with...
Weirdness Hilarious Battlefield 1 Parody Trailer Features Brilliant Beta Glitches
War is hell
You know us here at Push Square - we don't like to post daft YouTube videos too often, but with this particular Battlefield 1 parody, we had no choice. Crafted by 'Tuber CrowbCat, the clip features tons of highly entertaining glitches that were found in the shooter's alpha and beta tests. The video splices the bugs together into one...
Store Update 20th September 2016 (Europe)
Your Destiny
Destiny: Rise of Iron takes top billing on the European PlayStation Store this week, bringing ample incentive for you to return to Bungie's sci-fi universe. It's been joined by a bunch of lower-profile titles, including Dear Esther, The Bunker, and Virginia – all of which are at the very least worth a look. PS4 Games: TRIALS OF THE...
News Pre-Order Prices of PS4 Blockbusters Plunge on Amazon UK
Battlefield 1! Mafia III! Watch Dogs 2!
While we're not the biggest advocates of pre-ordering games, we are supporters of saving money. And thus it's probably worth pointing out that a wave of the PlayStation 4's biggest holiday games have been reduced on Amazon.co.uk in the run-up to the busy release season. Thus, if you're planning to pick up any...
News PS4 Pro Requires Very Little Investment from Developers
One or two people working on Sony titles
CD Projekt Red's decision not to update The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for the PlayStation 4 Pro has prompted some people to ponder just how many resources developers need to commit to the new machine. According to Digital Foundry, the answer is very few, as it's reporting that just one person from Sony Bend is...
News Rise of Iron Launch Leads to Destiny Server Issues
Heavy metal
Don't worry too much if you can't sign in to Destiny, because you're not the only one. The shooter's latest expansion, Rise of Iron, launched just a couple of hours ago, and it sounds as though the sheer amount of people jumping online has knocked the game's servers out of kilter. Apparently, players are being queued in order to help...
Review Dear Esther: Landmark Edition (PS4)
Oh dear oh dear
The PlayStation 4 release of Dear Esther sits in a bit of an odd place. The game originally released in early 2012 on the PC and many players will have already experienced its spiritual successor, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. This new version, dubbed the Landmark Edition, does include a few extras such as developer commentary but...
TGS 2016 NieR: Automata Has an 'Auto Mode' that Fights Enemies For You
Pace yourself
NieR: Automata is shaping up to be another hectic action title from Platinum Games, but even if you're not too confident in your own hacking and slashing skills, publisher Square Enix wants you to know that you won't be left out of the fun. New information that's come out of this year's Tokyo Game Show suggests that the game will...
Feature 10 TGS 2016 Trailers You Must Watch
From Tokyo with love
Sadly, the Tokyo Game Show is not the attraction that it once was. Sony brought lots to last week's Japanese convention, but the reality is that the Japanese games industry is no longer pumping out big games to the degree that it has in the past. Still, we did get a handful of trailers for major Eastern releases, and we figured...
News FIFA 17 Gets Some Great Graphical Upgrades Thanks to New Engine on PS4
Stay frosty
FIFA 17 is in under the microscope in Digital Foundry's latest comparison video, as the publication takes a look at how the newly implemented Frostbite engine impacts the game's graphics.

News 'No Plans' For The Witcher 3 PS4 Pro Patch, Says Developer
No 4K sunsets for you
CD Projekt Red says that it has "no plans" to release a performance boosting patch for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt when the PlayStation 4 Pro launches.

2K Games asked you to kindly purchase BioShock: The Collection on the PlayStation 4, and you responded diligently, with the title topping the all-formats charts in the UK this week. The critically acclaimed PES 2017: Pro Evolution Soccer kicked off in second, and scored over 70 per cent of its sales on Sony's...
Video Does Dead Rising's PS4 Debut Delight?
He's covered wars, y'know
In the very early days of the PlayStation 3, there were plenty of people clamouring for Dead Rising to release on the system. The Xbox 360 exclusive did eventually get an iffy Wii port, but Sony owners were locked out of the mall for several years, until Dead Rising 2 eventually deployed on the device. Over a decade later,...
TGS 2016 PS4 Exclusive Death Stranding Chained to 2018 Release Date
Strand together
Death Stranding, the first PlayStation 4 exclusive project from Hideo Kojima, will release in 2018, the auteur has hinted. Speaking as part of a panel at the Tokyo Game Show, the veteran said: "It will be out before the Olympics. To go a little further, there is a movie called Akira, and it will be out before the year in which Akira...
Mission Blog Chapter 5 - Atlas, At Last
We are not alone
I didn't really want to leave the Rachel system. There were lots of planets, all of them were great for different reasons, and I was making mega space bucks. I found another planet, not far from Gravitino Rush, that was covered in venom sacs. They were also worth a bundle, and collecting them was just as dangerous as it was with...
TGS 2016 This Gravity Rush 2 Concert Is the Best Thing You'll See Today
Sing it back
Look, we don't even care if you got access to Irina Shayk's iCloud account earlier, this Gravity Rush 2 concert is unquestionably the best thing that you'll see today. Streamed from Sony's Tokyo Game Show booth, the broadcast also saw director Keiichiro Toyama take to the stage in order to showcase some brand new gameplay from the fan...
TGS 2016 Can New Hot Shots Golf Score a Hole in One?
Tee off with 20 minutes of gameplay
We haven't really seen a massive amount of New Hot Shots Golf since its announcement in 2014, but a PlayStation Japan livestream from the Tokyo Game Show has provided us with 20 or so minutes to sift through. Before you watch, though, you'll want to turn down your speakers just a little bit – there are a lot of...
News Sony's Latest Sizzle Trailer Spotlights Major PS4 Games
The best place to play and all that
It looks like this is the lineup that Sony will be spotlighting this fall: Destiny: Rise of Iron, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Watch Dogs 2, and Horizon: Zero Dawn. The latter obviously doesn't release until next year, but it's good that the Japanese giant's putting in the legwork to build hype around the brand...
TGS 2016 Metal Gear Survive Is a Very Strange PS4 Spin-Off
First gameplay footage of co-op title deployed
Of all the directions that Metal Gear could go at a Konami without Hideo Kojima, we must say that we never expected Metal Gear Survive. This bizarre co-op spin-off recycles assets from The Phantom Pain and shoehorns them into a co-op game, which looks totally fine in execution but utterly unnecessary...
News Manchester United Youth Player Fosu-Mensah Isn't Impressed with His Face in FIFA 17
Good job he hasn't played PES
Timothy Fosu-Mensah has a bright future ahead of him, breaking into Manchester United's first-team alongside fellow youth talent Marcus Rashford under the watchful eye of the flat-faced Louis Van Gaal last season. But despite Jose Mourinho sticking with the Dutch junior this term, the youngster hasn't been awarded the...

Iron rising
The nights are drawing in and the skies have turned a subtle shade of grey; the summer's officially over and it's time to start thinking about investing in a new woolly jumper or three. The good news is that while the sun goes on annual leave, games are beginning to release, and while we're not quite in the thick of the silly season just...
Review PES 2017: Pro Evolution Soccer (PS4)
Klopp of the table
The Pro Evolution Soccer series has always seemed to play second fiddle to FIFA regardless of its quality, what with EA holding all of the licenses to the biggest football leagues in the world. Yet what PES 2017: Pro Evolution Soccer lacks in the licensing department, it makes up for in terms of pure footy fun and passion. An apt...
News Yoshida Says He Understands No Man's Sky Criticism
But he's still "super happy" with the game
Do you remember No Man's Sky? The game released to a chorus of hype, but aside from Stephen Tailby's excellent Mission Blog series, there aren't a whole lot of people talking about it anymore. That's because, whether you loved the game or not, it didn't quite deliver on what director Sean Murray had...
Feature Has Fallout 4's Season Pass Been Worth It?
We take a look back at all the DLC
It's almost been one whole year since Fallout 4 launched, believe it or not. Thanks to a total of six downloadable content offerings, it's safe to say that Bethesda's done a good job of keeping Fallout 4 relevant over the last 10 or so months. Every new DLC release has been met with widespread media coverage, and...
Poll Should the PS4 Pro Have a UHD Blu-ray Player?
A moment of clarity
Sony took a bath on the PlayStation 3 just to get Blu-ray into as many homes as possible, so it's strange to see the company ignore the fledgling Ultra High-Definition Blu-ray format a decade later. Times have changed since the turbulent days of 2006, of course: streaming is, for many, their primary means of consuming media now...
Correction Digimon World: Next Order Is Not Coming to Vita in the West
Please make it stop
Jeeeeeeeeez Bandai Namco, are you serious? Yesterday, the publisher confirmed that Digimon World: Next Order was coming West in early 2017. Great, we thought. The press release only mentioned that it was heading to the PlayStation 4, so naturally, we assumed that it was going to be exclusive to Sony's current-gen console in North...
