News Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 Has a PS4 Patch Bigger Than the Game
Shove it
Patches have reached a new peak with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, as Activision's upcoming sequel has an update larger than the release itself. According to The Games Cabin, the title – which has been available to pre-load on the PlayStation 4 since last night – weighs in at just 4.6GB, but you'll need to download a 7.7GB patch to get it...

News Your First Look at Yakuza 6 on PS4 Is Impressive
Gangster's paradise
Yakuza 6 is being built exclusively for the PlayStation 4, and boy does it show in this first ever video. SEGA debuted the footage during a NicoNico livestream yesterday, and it shows Japanese actor Beat Takeshi's character in all of his new-gen glory. The facial modelling has always been good in the Yakuza games, but this is...
News Here's Why Uncharted: Golden Abyss Isn't in Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection
Not quite a full collection
Uncharted: Golden Abyss wasn't included in Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection because it fell too far outside of the trilogy's story arc, Naughty Dog has revealed. "It was definitely under consideration, because we were trying to see how we could collect all of the Uncharted games," community strategist Arne Meyer...
News PlayStation Dominates EDGE's Greatest Ever Games
Cream of the crop
World regarded rag EDGE has compiled a list of the 100 greatest ever video games – and PlayStation has secured four of the top five slots. Dark Souls topped the list, with Grand Theft Auto V, The Last of Us, Bloodborne, and Half-Life 2 rounding out the top five. Sony must be rubbings its hands over that lineup – especially with...
Review PES 2016: Pro Evolution Soccer (PS4)
(Un)license to thrill
Pro Evolution Soccer, supposedly Konami's last AAA series, has spent the best part of a decade trying to catch up with FIFA's success. EA's behemoth of a sports game consistently has more licenses, fans, and sales than PES could ever dream of, and the sad thing is that it'll probably stay that way for a long time to come. That...
Subscribe to Push Square on YouTube148k Watch on YouTube News Konami: Metal Gear Solid Can Continue without Kojima
Company's not ditching consoles, apparently
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is very likely the last game in the series from Hideo Kojima, and it could be the final entry in the franchise full stop. However, speaking with Game On Daily at EGX 2015 last week, community manager Graham Day stressed that the company's committed to continuing the...
First Impressions Dragon Quest Heroes PS4 Is a Monster Masher That Shows a Lot of Promise
It's looking goo-d
Square Enix has been somewhat adamant in proving that Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below isn't just another Warriors game. Developed by Omega Force - the Japanese studio behind just about every musou title in existence - this hack and slasher definitely bares similarities to Koei Tecmo's franchises and...
Feature How Comfortable Is PlayStation VR to Wear?
Highfalutin head gear
PlayStation VR is pretty impressive. Sony's virtual reality headset – previously known as Project Morpheus – can stimulate some profound emotions, as proven by our Kitchen write-up. Capcom's survival horror demo lacks any real interaction, but the sense of place that it provides is unparalleled; we stepped away from the...
News One Piece: Burning Blood Localisation Confirmed for 2016
Melting point
Announced during Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show, One Piece: Burning Blood is a brawler that features many of the crazy characters from Eiichiro Oda's popular manga. More of a traditional fighter than One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3, it's definitely a project that fans should be keeping an eye on - especially since Bandai Namco has confirmed...
News UK Sales Charts: FIFA 16 Shoots Straight to the Top of the League
Back of the net
There are absolutely no surprises in this week's UK sales chart, as FIFA 16 has rifled one right into the top corner – and finished top of the league. Sales of the soccer simulation were slightly down compared to last year's entry, but it sold best on the PlayStation 4, and by all accounts still did pretty darn well...
News There Won't Be Any Console Exclusive Extras in Fallout 4
Thank the Ghouls
Sony's been signing deals left and right since the start of this generation, locking down exclusive incentives for its system. However, one release that it's failed to partner with is irradiated role-playing game Fallout 4, which seems to be sitting not-so subtly in Xbox's camp. Does that mean that the Redmond firm will be giving...
News Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Will Grapple with 44GB of Your PS4
Treasure chest
We did ponder internally whether Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection would ship on multiple Blu-rays, but developer Bluepoint has worked its magic and managed to squeeze all three escapades into 44GB of space. This is particularly impressive when you consider that Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception consumed over 30GB on the PlayStation...
News Massive List of Improvements in The Witcher 3's Next PS4 Patch
Fixing everything that Gwent wrong
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is recognised as being one of the best role-playing releases in years, but it has been criticised for its performance problems on the PlayStation 4. Fortunately, this is an area that developer CD Projekt RED is continuing to focus on, and community manager Marcin Momot teased that fans of...
Push Rewind Uncharted PS4, EGX 2015, and PlayStation Plus
Catching up
It's been a different kind of week here at Push Square Towers, as we've been out on the road sampling all of the gaming morsels on display at EGX 2015 this weekend. Hopefully we managed to tide you over with a hearty helping of hands-on impressions, though, from Mirror's Edge Catalyst right the way through to Ratchet & Clank. Here...
First Impressions Breaching the Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege Beta on PS4
Breaking down barriers
Here at Push Square we've been checking out the closed beta for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege on the PlayStation 4 – and boy has this game been kept under a rock since its first announcement at E3 last year. There's been a distinct lack of interest in the title since its reveal, but it finally appears to have found its feet...
First Impressions Ratchet & Clank PS4 Is a Pixar Movie Brought to Life
Lookin' nuts
Remember when Sony famously said that the PlayStation 2 would be capable of powering Toy Story-esque visuals in realtime? We've been waiting a long time for it to deliver on that statement. But with Ratchet & Clank on the PlayStation 4, developer Insomniac Games may have finally succeeded, as this is one of the most visually...
News Never Say Never to New WipEout Release on PS4
Not quite wiped out
WipEout is a part of PlayStation's DNA, and speaking at EGX 2015 this week, Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida suggested that the series has not been retired - despite the closure of legendary developer Studio Liverpool a few years ago. Speaking during a panel, the super passionate suit said that it tries to find a...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 86
In a hurry
Type Sammy, type! It's the eve of EGX 2015, so we're putting together WAYP abnormally early this time. Of course, you won't know that because you'll be reading this increasingly unnecessary pre-amble on Saturday. Here's everything that the team are planning to play this weekend. Alex Stinton, Reviewer: This weekend, I'll be descending...
News Fallout 4 Will Irradiate About 30GB of Your PS4 Hard Drive
We've seen worse
Fallout 4's Xbox One product page - yes, we know - states that the digital version of the upcoming open world title weighs in at just over 28GB, which means that you can expect the game to take up around the same amount of space on the PlayStation 4. It's a hefty chunk of hard drive, but we've definitely seen worse. In fact,...
First Impressions How Well Does Assassin's Creed Syndicate Run on PS4?
London's not quite burning
After Assassin's Creed Unity launched in shameful condition on the PlayStation 4 last year, there's been much discussion over how 2015's follow up, Assassin's Creed Syndicate, will run on Sony's home console. After the beating that Unity took, you'd assume that Ubisoft would do its best to ensure that Syndicate performs...
News Mighty No. 9 Powers to PlayStation in February 2016
Mega news, man
Comcept's overdue outing Mighty No. 9 will power its way to the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 on 9th February in North America and 12th February in Europe. The platformer was originally due out this month, but was pushed back at the very last minute following a failed Kickstarter from creator Keiji Inafune. There is a PlayStation...
News Twitch App to Stream to PS4, PS3, and Vita This Year
Watch people play games on your games console
The stream scene has been twitching for one very important feature since the PlayStation 4's launch: a native Twitch app allowing all broadcasts to be viewed on the new-gen console. There's good news coming out of TwitchCon 2015 today, then, as it's been announced that a new client will deploy on the...
News World of Final Fantasy Looks Super Pretty in New PS4 Screenshots
A world that's worth a look
World of Final Fantasy hasn't really garnered too much internet hype since it was unveiled at E3 earlier in the year, but there's no denying that it looks very, very pretty. Bringing a couple of different art styles together in order to create a varied visual experience, it's a title that comes across really well...
First Impressions Reflecting on Mirror’s Edge Catalyst PS4
Smooth round the edges
Mirror's Edge Catalyst is a reimagined story set before the events of the first title and has built upon the free running and combat system of the original to bring a totally fresh and more fluid experience. With upgraded visuals that look stunning on the next generation consoles and are especially sharp on the PlayStation 4,...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Numbers Hit New Low as Price Drop Nears
All in good time
The PlayStation 4's been ticking along in its native Japan for some time, but it rarely racks up any amazing numbers unless a slew of big new-gen games all launch within a few weeks of each other. Last week's belated figures make for some rather dire reading, then, as Sony's latest box managed to hit its lowest total in months. The...
First Impressions Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Is PS4 Gold
Greatness from not-so small beginnings
You didn't think that Sony was going to treat its flagship franchise poorly, did you? A lot's been said and written about the PlayStation 4's exclusive lineup this Christmas, but Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is no slouch. The remastered compilation of Naughty Dog's iconic adventuring trilogy looks and...
News Dragon Age: Inquisition Game of the Year Edition Still Needs You to Download All DLC
All the patches, too
Following swiftly in the footsteps of Destiny: The Taken King's Legendary Edition which simply includes download codes for the title's add-ons and a standard Destiny disc, Dragon Age: Inquisition's Game of the Year package will throw a code into the box that'll be responsible for adding in all of the stuff that wasn't available...
News Adr1ft Lost in Space Until 2016
Spaced out
Remember intriguing space sim, Adr1ft? Well, you may want to forget about it for a few months. The intergalactic escapade was not only delayed until 2016 today, but there's currently no launch window for the PlayStation 4 version. The title will instead deploy day-and-date with the Oculus Rift headset, which means that you'll have to...
News Fallout 4 Mutates with a Massive Perk System That's Yours to Explore
Pimped-boy
Bit of a short video this one, but it's worth a watch if you're into Fallout's role-playing game elements. Levelling up in the post-apocalyptic series has always been handled well, with tons of different perks allowing you to craft your own specialised play style. Things are being taken up a notch with Fallout 4, though, which boasts an...
News London Is Full of Evil Cockneys According to Assassin's Creed Syndicate's Story Trailer
Needs more rhyming slang
Assassin's Creed Syndicate's story is all about the never-ending war between Assassins and Templars - but you knew that already. However, Ubisoft's latest blockbuster is attempting to add some personality to its cockney cast by filling London full of ne'er-do-wells. There'll be seven big baddies to bring down to size, and...
News Star Wars Battlefront Beta Blows PS4 to Bits from 8th October
Where it's AT-AT
Batten down the hatches: the Star Wars Battlefront beta is merely weeks away. In news that will have the team responsible for keeping the PlayStation Network online awake at night, EA Games has announced that the open beta for the first-person shooter will begin on 8th October. It'll run through until 12th October, and will be...
News Strike! The PS4 Gets Its Bowling Game At Last
Don't be a turkey
The software variety on the PlayStation 4 is frankly outrageous, but we've been waiting patiently for a new High Velocity Bowling or something similar. There's good news coming out of Corecell Technology, then, as it's announced that Crazy Strike Bowling EX is in development for the new-gen system. Some of you will remember a...
Renegade skid
It's apparent that the PlayStation 4's 2015 gaming year will most notably be remembered for a handful of exemplary AAA open world games, but pulsating under the radar there has also been a fine array of pixel art 2D games released on the console this year. With examples like Shovel Knight and Super Time Force Ultra, this is partially...
The icemen cometh
When EA Canada said that NHL 14 would be skipping a next generation release so that it could concentrate on making NHL 15 the best that it could possibly be, no one really batted an eyelid. It sounded like a perfectly reasonable thing and for the most part it was accepted. That is, until NHL 15 released. Hockey's first foray onto...
News Naughty Dog's Brainstormed Lots of The Last of Us 2 Ideas
Still coy about sequel's status, though
The Last of Us is potentially one of the biggest sleeper hits of the past decade. The title – which many speculated prior to launch would have limited appeal – sold a scary amount of copies across the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, and is widely regarded as one of the previous generation's best games. A...
News This Lucky Person Has Already Played Shenmue III
"I see"
It's so surreal to think that Shenmue III actually exists now. The sequel – which this author has been waiting over a decade to play – raised over $6 million on Kickstarter recently, and director Yu Suzuki and his team have been busy beavering away on production ever since. This means that, while it's no doubt incredibly early, there's...
News The Last of Us' PS4 Theme Will Grow on You
Fungal fun
Naughty Dog's celebrating Outbreak Day this week, which means that it's announced several juicy The Last of Us details. Those of you paying particular attention to the website will know that the title – alongside various pieces of add-on content – is on offer until 7th October on the PlayStation Store, so make sure that you inhale its...
Feline fine
Video games are like empathy generators. More than any other medium they allow us to feel what it might be like to be another type of person. Beyond Eyes is great example of this – a game which attempts to simulate the experience of being blind. But while it plays host to some fiendishly clever design, its slow pace and slightly...
News Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls to Get PS4 Release Dates Soon
The origami killer awaits
You'll be screaming about JASON'S safety all over again soon, as it seems that Quantic Dream is getting ready to announce the PlayStation 4 release dates for Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls. The interactive dramas – which both originally deployed on the PlayStation 3 – were confirmed for Sony's new-gen hardware at E3...
News Endure Fallout 4's Newest Character Build Video
You can take it
Fallout 4's back with another charming video in its S.P.E.C.I.A.L. series, and this time, it's all about endurance, which is an important trait to have when you're trying to survive in a radioactive wasteland. This is the third of Bethesda's character building clips, so if you haven't seen the first two - which focus on strength and...
News Wolfenstein: The New Order Star Says There's More on the Way
B.J.'s Back-owicz
Bad news for Adolf Hitler: it sounds like a Wolfenstein: The New Order sequel is in the works. It's hardly a surprise, as Machine Games knocked it out of the park with its previous entry and expansion The Old Blood, but it's nice to get a bit of confirmation – even if it doesn't come courtesy of an official source. Instead,...
News PS4 RPG Divinity: Original Sin Gets Seamless Local and Online Co-Op
This is how you do it
The PlayStation 4 edition of Divinity: Original Sin is looking better and better with every trailer; the highly praised role-playing release has been a big hit on PC, and we're beginning to see why. The way that the enhanced console port tackles co-op play is very forward thinking, as it essentially allows two players to exist...
News Batman and The Last of Us Head Big PS4 Deals in EU PSN Sale
Crash Bandicoot and Spyro also up for grabs
Bit of a weird sale, this one, as Sony's slashed the price on a load of different titles that range from the recent Batman: Arkham Knight to the retro Crash Bandicoot. Speaking of which, you can pick up the caped crusader's latest for £39.99, which isn't great, but at least there are several better deals...
Store Update 22nd September 2015 (North America)
Take your pick
Anyone else noticed the curious increase in PSone Classics on the North American PlayStation Store of late? Interesting that, isn't it? Not that this week's selection of Puzzle Star Sweep and, er, Racing is worth getting giddy about – but it almost seems like Sony's gearing up for something, doesn't it? Hmm. PS4 Games: Afro...
News Kinda Funny Games Returns to the PlayStation Podcasting Scene
Beyond the grave
Naturally we think that Push Square is the best PlayStation website on the net, but we're not oblivious to the great content available elsewhere. One of this author's favourites was always Podcast Beyond, the flagship IGN podcast featuring Greg Miller and Colin Moriarty. There's good news, then, for fans of the old show – as it's...
News Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Gets Free Course in New Update
Sandy
Rory McIlroy PGA Tour isn't exactly the best golf game. In fact, it's not a very good sports game in general. One of the main issues that we, and many other critics, had was that the game didn't have many courses or player options. Since release, EA Sports has been trying to correct the former. In the most recent update, out today, EA Sports...
Smash and grab
Fat City is a clever puzzle game with slim depth. The Hitman Go-esque pegged maps make for some interesting solving at first, and a variation of characters add some diversity – but power-ups and stale layouts make the difficulty and frankly, the fun, virtually nonexistent. You'll play as a Chris Knox, a man who has a particular set...
News Here's Your Custom Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 PS4
Back in black
Sony has not one but two blockbuster PlayStation 4 bundles lined up this November, with the already announced Star Wars Battlefront box set to be accompanied on store shelves by a custom Call of Duty: Black Ops III console. The announcement was inevitable ever since
Review Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance (PS4)
Revenge is a dish best served on the PS4
In a genre that prides itself on balanced gameplay and character building, you can always count on the Disgaea franchise to be the outlier in the strategy role-playing realm with its ability to not take itself too seriously. If you've played previous instalments, you'll know that a wacky cast and...
News Actually, the PS4's Price Isn't Dropping in the UK
Not yet, anyway
Remember last week when Sony seemed to suggest that the PlayStation 4's price was dropping in the UK? Well, it's not. The manufacturer told Eurogamer.net that its Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection packages – which will cost £299.99 for a 500GB model, and £329.99 for a 1TB edition – are taking advantage of a pro
News Hitman PS4 Whacked Until March 2016
Blood worry
The reveal of Hitman's reboot won't go down in history. The confusing announcement made during Sony's big E3 2015 conference only got more baffling when it was confirmed that Agent 47's revival would be released piecemeal. IO-Interactive's sticking with that approach, but it's at least decided to bide its time, and put the release on...
News Dragon Age: Inquisition Game of the Year Edition Comes to PS4 with All DLC Next Month
That's a lot of content
We should have saw this one coming. Like the inevitability of a breach tearing open the sky and raining demons down upon the populace, Dragon Age: Inquisition is getting a Game of the Year edition. Unsurprisingly, it'll come with all of the title's downloadable content, including its three expansions. Of course, that also...
News Fallout 4's Original Soundtrack Should Be Fantastic
Composer is bringing new sounds to the wasteland
Everyone always seems to remember the licensed radio tracks from Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas whenever the series' audio is brought up, but we'd argue that the original soundtracks actually stole the show from time to time. Both titles sported very haunting scores that really captured the dusty,...
Store Update 22nd September 2015 (Europe)
Back of the net
European PlayStation Store update cliché #112: it's a humdinger of a week on Sony's virtual plaza. FIFA 16 is perhaps the hottest highlight this time, but spare a thought for SOMA and Curve Digital's big Instant Indie Collection, too. What are you buying? PS4 Games: EA SPORTS FIFA 16 (Out 22/09/15, varies by...
News Dragon Quest Heroes Looks Jolly Good in 15 Minutes of English PS4 Gameplay
Smashing
You'e going to be hearing a lot of quirky British accents while hacking and slashing your way through Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below, as evidenced by the 15 minutes of gameplay that we've embedded in this article. Courtesy of Square Enix's let's play series, we get to see a lengthy endgame battle that's full...
Poll Has Destiny Won You Back With The Taken King?
Is the cryptarch calling?
Destiny: The Taken King is out and fans of Bungie's shooter have probably spent their last weekend grinding themselves into dust. If internet reactions are anything to go by, then the game's third and biggest expansion has been met with a reasonably positive reception. Veteran players seem to like the changes, and lapsed...
Round Up FIFA 16 PS4 Reviews Attack the Last Man
On target
The battle for soccer supremacy is back on, with PES 2016: Pro Evolution Soccer wowing critics earlier in the month. FIFA 16 will, of course, outpace Konami's classic in the sales department, but can it beat it in the reviews, too? The answer, it would appear, is not quite – but this is an AGUERRRO-esque to-the-wire race. We've included...
News New Gameplay Features Revealed for Wasteland 2: Director's Cut
Wasted
Deep Silver and inXile Entertainment have released a new trailer for Wasteland 2: Director's Cut as well as showcased some new gameplay features. The most important news perhaps, is that the PlayStation 4 version of Wasteland 2 won't just be a port. Rather, inXile has reworked the controls for a smoother console experience. According to a...
News Fallout 4's Canine Companion Is Based on This Very Happy Dog
Is probably being paid in snacks
Fallout 4's going to have quite a few companions that can be convinced to join you on your adventures, and while we have no doubt that there'll be some colourful characters up for grabs, everyone loves a bit of Dogmeat. Okay, so that sentence didn't quite come out the way that we planned, but we're eager to see the...
Review Destiny: The Taken King (PS4)
New monarchy
It's been a rocky old road for Destiny, but it's finally found some smooth terrain with The Taken King – the title's biggest expansion to date. The new content marks the second year of Destiny's life, and with it comes the realisation that Bungie has taken a rather large step forward in crafting something special. It's undoubtedly...
News Life Is Strange: Episode 5 Weathers the Storm on 20th October
Hella hype
Parisian developer DONTNOD's polarising episodic adventure Life Is Strange will take its final set of photos on 20th October, publisher Square Enix has announced. While we'd expected Episode 5 a little sooner, the studio's said that it's taking extra time to ensure that the finale is "the best that it can be". Given that this series has...
News Even Xbox's Boss Is Planning for a PS4 Price Drop in North America
But how low will Sony go?
We always thought that the PlayStation 4 would get a price drop this year, and it seems to be happening. Sony revealed at TGS 2015 this week that it will be reducing the device's cost right across Asia, with the UK also seemingly getting in on the action. However, nothing has been announced for North America just yet –...
News UK Sales Charts: Destiny: The Taken King Takes the Crown
More than half the copies sold on PS4
Activision unveiled some pretty impressive statistics for Destiny: The Taken King last week, so it's no surprise to see the first-person semi-sequel shoot to the top of the UK sales charts. The game sold best on the PlayStation 4 – surprise, surprise – scooping up a whopping 57 per cent of the sales...

Push Rewind All of the Headlines from TGS 2015
Turning Japanese
Wow, it's been a busy week here at Push Square Towers, with TGS 2015 taking centre stage. Sony's press conference kickstarted the week, and it's been non-stop since then, with several major titles all on display. Highlights have to include the announcements of Bloodborne: The Old Hunters and Gravity Rush 2, but we also got some...
Feature What Does TGS 2015 Tell Us About PS4 in Japan?
Things are looking up
The PlayStation 4's been far from a flop in Japan since its launch last year, but it's failed to kick on in quite the way that we expected it to. The console's sold in fits and starts, with big releases like Dragon Quest Heroes and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain prompting numbers to increase – only for them to shrink...
TGS 2015 Japanese Awards Prompt Smiles for PS4
Seven of the ten winners launching on PS4
Sony's presence at TGS 2015 this week was pretty darn impressive, as it dominated the headlines with a slew of announcements.

News PS4 Censorship to Blame for Sucky Chinese Sales, Says Sony
Bans proving problematic
Sony's struggles with the PlayStation 4 in parts of Asia are well documented, but TGS 2015 proved this week that the system's Japanese sales are sure to soar eventually.

TGS 2015 PS4's Horizon: Zero Dawn Dazzles in Stage Demo
Ahoy Aloy
Horizon: Zero Dawn's one of those rare Western games that we reckon has a shot at doing extremely well in Japan, and Sony seems to have recognised that. The platform holder prepared a massive stage demo for the title at TGS 2015 this week, which consisted of a fresh playthrough of the E3 2015 sequence. If you thought that the five minute...

Engineers working on resolution
It's been a while since we've written one of these, hasn't it?

While at the time of writing it seems that the issue is easing, Sony's own status website notes that its...
TGS 2015 Good Grief! Sony Has More PS4 Exclusives to Show
It never ends
Remember that scene from The Simpsons where one Krusty Burger mascot is mauling another, and a little kid screams, "Stop! Stop! He's already dead!" That's how we're starting to feel about the PlayStation 4 in regards to its console competition, because after an admittedly slow start the system is like a raging inferno right about now...
