Review The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth (PS4)
Reborn
The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth was released for the PC back in October last year and ever since console fans of the series have been crying out for the much-anticipated DLC. Well, it's finally arrived on the PlayStation 4 – and boy was it worth the long wait. The main addition in this expansion is Greed Mode – an entirely new game mode...
Genre blended meta growth
Back in 2014, Gearbox Software head honcho Randy Pitchford incomprehensibly described Battleborn as an "FPS; hobby-grade co-op campaign; genre-blended, multi-mode competitive e-sports; meta-growth, choice epic Battleborn Heroes". While no one could quite decipher just what he was going on about, it was safe to assume that...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 117
A thief's DOOM
This week saw the release of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and DOOM, so you can guarantee that this edition of WAYP will be dominated by the two hottest additions to the PlayStation 4's library. *Reads Ramsey's entry*. Oh, for f***'s sake... Sammy Barker, Editor: I'll be playing DOOM this weekend, I guess. I've got to be brutally...
Hands On Dispatching Demons in DOOM on PS4
\m/
DOOM wastes no time setting out its stall. There a pentagram, a pistol, and one of Satan's soldiers. Pew, pew – off we go. Extremely late review copies mean that we've only just managed to get our hands on id Software's key card collecting sim – but does this unashamedly old-school FPS make a strong first impression? We're about three or so...
Feature What Uncharted 4's Amazing Fanservice Means for PS4

News Is PS4K Scheduled to Launch Before October?
For the upgraders
The PlayStation 4K, or Neo as it's supposedly codenamed, is not a rumour anymore; Sony may have refrained from commenting on the upgraded hardware, but it's almost certainly happening. The big question is: when? Previous rumours pegged the supercharged platform for October, which is when PlayStation VR is also set to deploy.
News Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter Stomps London's Cobbles in PS4 Gameplay
A'right, guv'nor
Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments is an underrated adventure on the PlayStation 4, so we're really looking forward to its successor Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter. However, while this eleven minute gameplay trailer has all of the intrigue and awkward accents of its predecessor, we're starting to worry that publisher...

Poll Are You Enjoying Uncharted 4 on PS4?
A worthy end?
We assume that many of you will have sunk a decent amount of time into Uncharted 4: A Thief's End by now - and we bet that some of you will have finished it - but we just have to ask: are you enjoying it as much as we did?

This means that you'll...
News PS4 Was the Best Selling Console in the US Last Month
Confirmation at last
Sony refrained from releasing its usual self-fellating PR statement following last night's NPD report, leading many – ourselves included – to assume that the PlayStation 4 had failed to secure a seventh successive spell at the top of the US hardware charts. However, it's since confirmed to IGN that its new-gen system was...
News Wow, the Overwatch Beta Was Stupidly Popular
Blizzard posts ridiculous numbers
You know what? Overwatch just might be the next big thing, at least, if the shooter's most recent beta has been anything to go by. The game's open beta, which was available across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, racked up a whopping 9.7 million players over its duration, making it Blizzard's biggest ever open beta,...

Update: PS4 was best selling console

Whatever the reason for that, the manufacturer can take heart from some pretty outstanding software performers – including Ratchet &...

News CHVRCHES Bang Out Some Electro Pop for Mirror's Edge Catalyst
Warning call
Mirror's Edge may be best remembered for its saturated art style and innovative free-running gameplay, but this author still listens to Lisa Miskovsky's haunting theme song to this day. It's perhaps no surprise that DICE is trying to recapture the original game's musical magic by signing up a big name artist to write an all-new tune for...

News The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine Expansion Is Basically a New Game, Says Dev
Geralt's last bash is a big one

Winter's coming
Hurrah, PlayStation enthusiasts won't have to wait two years for The Banner Saga 2!

News Turn Up the Heat with One Piece: Burning Blood's PS4 Demo Right Now
Hot stuff coming through
One Piece: Burning Blood launches on PlayStation 4 and PS Vita at the end of this month in North America, then punches Europe in the gut at the start of June. The anime based brawler isn't far off, then, but if you're unsure that you want to sail the seas with Luffy and his crew, you should probably give the game's demo a...
News Capcom: Street Fighter V Needed More Polish and More Content
CEO admits the brawler deserved better
We've said it a million times before, and we'll say it again: Street Fighter V is a bloody good fighting game - but its prowess as a brawler hasn't been enough to disperse the air of negativity that's surrounded the title since it launched earlier this year. Recently, Capcom revealed that the game has actually...

Feature Is Survival Mode the Best Way to Play Fallout 4?
We got ourselves a bleeder
Launching on PlayStation 4 earlier this month, Fallout 4's update version 1.06 finally brought real survival to the Commonwealth.

News The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine Sounds Like It'll Run Better than the Main Game on PS4
It'll look better too, apparently
Following its launch almost exactly one year ago, CD Projekt Red set about improved The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's technical performance on PlayStation 4 via numerous game updates - but it's still not perfect. During particularly busy scenarios, the title's still prone to dropping a few frames here and there, but...
News Here's What You Can Expect From DOOM's Action-Packed Single Player Campaign
No guts no glory
DOOM's out in just a couple of days on PlayStation 4, so it's nice of Bethesda to release some new gameplay footage while we sit here waiting for our review copy to arrive. Snark aside, we're hoping that the shooter's single player campaign is up to snuff, because what we've seen of it so far has looked promising. In the game's...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Still Top Despite a Total Lack of New Games
Zzzzzzz
It's been a boring few weeks for the Japanese hardware and software charts, and we're afraid that there's no excitement to be found this time around, either. PlayStation 4 sales dropped by about 4000 units, but Sony's latest system still managed to stick to the top spot - that is, if you don't count New 3DS and New 3DS LL numbers as one...
Rumour Cancelled Open World Sci-Fi Title Prey 2 Could Be Revived at E3 2016
Close encounters
Those of you with good memories may remember a game called Prey 2, which was announced for the PlayStation 3 back in 2011.

Store Update 10th May 2016 (North America)
Uncharted territory
It's a smaller North American PlayStation Store update this time, but no less lacking in blockbusters. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is the undeniable highlight, but a special mention must be reserved for DOOM. Someone will probably be interested in that new Neptunia game, too. Maybe?

News Disney Infinity Dumped as Avalanche Software Shuttered
Company will license out brands
Disney Interactive is exiting the video game business for what feels like the umpteenth time.

News You'll Feel the Need for Speed on PS4 Again in 2017
Gimme some skin
Who would have thought that last year's Need for Speed game would be best remembered for its live action cut-scenes rather than its coma-inducing racing? Swedish developer Ghost Games got off to a decent start with Need for Speed: Rivals, but its attempt at rebooting the iconic franchise barely got out of first gear. We're pleased to...
News BioWare Confirms Mass Effect: Andromeda will Warp to PS4 in Early 2017
A galaxy not too far away
Since earlier this year, we've known that Mass Effect: Andromeda won't be launching in 2016.

Review Valkyria Chronicles Remastered (PS4)
Tanks for the memories
When Valkyria Chronicles launched on the PlayStation 3 in 2008, it was a breath of fresh air. A solid strategy title bolstered by a lovingly crafted watercolour art style, it was hit with critics, and quickly amassed a reasonably niche, but enthusiastic following. Fans of the original will be quick to recommend Valkyria...

News Don't Expect DOOM PS4 Reviews Any Time Soon
Review code not being sent until launch
We're really looking forward to DOOM here at Push Square Towers, but if you're still sitting on the fence, then you may need to wait a little while for reviews.

News Is It Almost Time for Resident Evil 7 on PS4?
Full-scale offensive
The Internet is convinced that Resident Evil 7 is months away from smashing through a glass window, and all signs suggest that it may be right.

News Dead Island: Retro Revenge May Be More Dislikeable Than Battleborn
Go away
Look, this author's probably the least funny person on the planet – but whether you're a budding comedian or not, you've got to know when to quit.

News Want to Feel Old? Final Fantasy XV was Announced 10 Years Ago Yesterday
This is no fantasy
Ten years ago yesterday, on the 8th May 2006, Final Fantasy Versus XIII was announced for the PlayStation 3 at E3, and that's a difficult fact to wrap your head around. Versus XIII was officially transformed into Final Fantasy XV at E3 2013 - a whole seven years after its initial reveal. Let's just take a moment to let this sink...
News WipEout Co-Creator Will Make Sequel if Sony Allows Him

The closure of Studio Liverpool seemingly placed the final nail in WipEout's coffin – but co-creator Nick Burcombe has said that he'd make a sequel if Sony gave him the rights to the brand. Of course, you may want to temper your expectations here – Burcombe's current team, PlayRise Digital, created Table Top Racing: World Tour,...
News Sony Says PS4 Exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn Is Still Releasing in 2016
Contrary to recent rumours
We've had doubts for some time with regards to Horizon: Zero Dawn's supposed 2016 release window - and for good reason, as far as we're concerned. We've seen very little of the title since it was officially announced last year, and it's clear that it's an incredibly ambitious project - but Sony still insists that Guerrilla...
Video Uncharted 4 Looks Even More Gorgeous with Cel-Shading
Wind waker
One of the most disappointing things about Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception was the lack of bonus features unlockable after completing the campaign.

News UK Sales Charts: Battleborn Reaches Number One, But...
Ratchet & Clank still best selling individual game
We're not entirely sure how, but Battleborn has managed to top the UK sales charts. There is a big "but" that simply must follow this sentence, however, as Ratchet & Clank was still the best-selling game of the week in terms of individual units. What does this mean, then? Basically, the only...

Soapbox Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered's Infinite Warfare Exclusivity Is a Disaster
Joey Thurmond believes Activision can avoid paying a big price

Review Shadow Complex Remastered (PS4)
Press X to Jason
Today, independent and digital titles sit fairly comfortably alongside big budget games in terms of critical reception and public acceptance, but when Shadow Complex was released in 2009, it was customary to finish any sentence that started "It's great..." with a

Therefore, it's no wonder that it should take some...
Review Table Top Racing: World Tour (PS4)
Exhausting
One of the main things being touted about Table Top Racing: World Tour is that one of its creators worked on the WipEout series, so it'd be safe to expect high-octane racing, a pulsing soundtrack, and dazzling graphics – at least somewhat in the style of the iconic PlayStation series. This game has none of those things. A sequel to a...
News The New Battlefield Launches 18th October on PS4

There's a real plumbing problem at DICE, because the new Battlefield game is leaking all over the place.

World War I with a twist?
Well, then – this is an unexpected shock. The first artwork from Battlefield 5 has leaked online ahead of today's reveal – and it's not entirely what you expect.

Interview We Talk Stylish PS4 Steath Title Aragami with Developer Lince Works
Shadow touched
A stealth-'em-up with an attractive art style, Aragami was announced last month for PlayStation 4, and is due to launch later this year.
