News Can You Handle This DmC: Definitive Edition Gameplay Clip?
Dante answer that
Ninja Theory promised us that DmC: Devil May Cry would have the "feel" of 60 frames-per-second on the PlayStation 3, but it's clearly scrapped that idea for the title's forthcoming Definitive Edition on the PlayStation 4, settling upon the faster framerate for its next-gen re-release. And this brand new video should give you an...
News Sorry, You Can't Use Your 10 Per Cent PSN Discount on Pre-Orders
Think again
Sony frequently acts like a headless chicken, and this is just another example of miscommunication making the company look like it hasn't got a clue. The firm announced its 10 per cent PlayStation Network discount earlier in the week, revealing that it would not be compatible with PlayStation Plus subscriptions, Music Unlimited...
News This Dying Light PS4 Disc Delay Is Starting to Get Awkward
Good night, good luck
With respect to all of the parties involved, Polish developer Techland probably thought that it was trading up when it dumped Deep Silver for Warner Bros. The former has grown a lot since it hung its hat on the Dead Island brand, but its army of IPs – even with Homefront, Saints Row, and Metro added to its stable – can't...
Opinion Why You Shouldn't Write Off PS4 Racer DriveClub
Back on track
In many ways, Evolution Studios got lucky. DriveClub's launch was an unmitigated disaster, but the developer was able to quietly solve many of the title's issues while a much bigger storm gathered around games like Assassin's Creed Unity. Once that had cleared, the Runcorn-based developer responded with a rain cloud of its own, and...
Store Update 21st January 2015 (Europe)
Winged and wonderful
We may be looking at the content pipeline for a different continent, but the highlights in this week's European PlayStation Store update are identical to those in yesterday's North American refresh. That means that Citizens of Earth, Resident Evil, and Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell are all vying for your attention. The question...
Live Explore the PS4 Version of The Elder Scrolls Online for the First Time Right Here
Tamriel beckons
Hot on the heels of The Elder Scrolls Online's announcement that the game will no longer require a subscription, we've learned that ZeniMax Online Studios is showing the PlayStation 4 version of the title for the first time over on its Twitch channel. Hang around with us and watch the stream, then share your fantasy-filled thoughts...
News Dragon Ball Xenoverse's DLC Plan Detailed, Plus More New Screenshots Than You Can Count
What does the scouter say?
When you're excited for a certain upcoming game, you usually like nothing better than to feast your eyes upon every scrap of media that the publisher flings out onto the Internet – and if you're hyped for Dragon Ball Xenoverse, then we reckon that you're probably going to have a heart attack when you see how many...
News This Is The Order: 1886 Trailer That You've Been Waiting For
Stop for a pint, did you?
The Order: 1886's pre-release build up has been bumpier than a Victorian stage coach, but it looks like Sony's finally pulling things together in time for the PlayStation 4 exclusive's 20th February launch. This brand new trailer is over two minutes in length, and includes a great mixture of gameplay and story – including...
News The Elder Scrolls Online Slaughters Subscription Fees on PS4
Rides into battle on 9th June
That almighty roar that you can hear off in the distance is not coming from Skyrim, but is in fact erupting from Push Square Towers, as associate editor Robert Ramsey reads through the latest press release regarding The Elder Scrolls Online on the PlayStation 4. Bethesda has confirmed that the title will deploy a year...
News Who Wants More Assassin's Creed Unity Content on PS4?
Sacré urgh
Assassin's Creed Unity's free expansion pack Dead Kings ain't especially great. We can appreciate the apology from Ubisoft, but the PlayStation 4 title's core is so rotten that we found playing through the epilogue a bit of a chore. The thought of plunging into Paris for a third time, then, has this author breaking out in cold sweats...
News Media Streaming App Plex Now Broadcasts onto American PS4s, PS3s
Perplexing
Media streaming service Plex is now broadcasting onto PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 consoles throughout America. The popular app has been available in Europe for a little while, but is only now making its way across the pond. Indeed, those of you stationed in North America, Canada, and Latin America will now be able to use the service...
News Sony Bend: Our PS4 Game Is Going to Blow People Away
Will push next-gen system somewhere it's never been before
We've known that Uncharted: Golden Abyss developer Sony Bend has been working on a PlayStation 4 title for some time, but it sounds like the project is about to go into full production. As part of a recruitment feature on Gamasutra, the first-party outfit has revealed a little more about the...
News Oh No, the Terrible PS4 Themes Have Arrived
Dressed to unimpress
It was only a matter of time, wasn't it? Much like the avatars section, a quick peek in the PlayStation 3's virtual shop will reveal a flood of bad themes, from buttered corn right the way through to crispy bacon. As such, it was inevitable that the awful designs would hit Sony's next-gen device in time – and with today's
Store Update 20th January 2015 (North America)
Citizens of Spencer Mansion
If the past couple of weeks have been a little light on the PlayStation Store, then today's North American update is a concrete block in comparison. In addition to smaller gems like Splice and Citizens of Earth, it's also packing heavy hitters like Resident Evil and Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell. Let's-a-go! PS4 Games:...
Splice 'n' dice
Splice is an intriguingly intricate puzzle game from Cipher Prime Studios. Originally released in 2012 for PC and mobile platforms, this version marks the title's debut on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, with a Vita release possible somewhere down the line. The game tasks you with re-arranging cells – which look like really...
News Attackers Behind PS4's Christmas Outage Hit by Heavy Hack
What goes around, comes around
Behave badly and your actions will catch up with you eventually, as some members of the so-called Lizard Squad may be realising right now. After attaining plenty of mainstream media coverage following the PlayStation Network outage which it apparently initiated over Christmas, the group launched a DDoS service,...
News PS4 Shooter Human Element on Hiatus as Robotoki Winds Down
Out of its element
It's been almost three years since we penned our first article on Robert Bowling's independent venture Robotoki, but fresh from revealing its console debut at The Game Awards last month, the studio has now officially closed up shop. The former Call of Duty creative strategist told
Out This Week Resident Evil, Saints Row, and Citizens of Earth
Once bitten, twice shy
There's usually a standout for Pick of the Week, but we're really struggling to choose a favourite this time. Sure, you could make the argument that Saints Row IV: Re-Elected is little more than a re-release, but it comes with Gat Out of Hell, which is brand new. On the flipside, Resident Evil is nothing but a lowly port, too...
News Ex-Wii U Exclusive Scram Kitty DX Purrs onto PS4, Vita Very Soon
Kawaii kitty
Welsh developer Dakko Dakko got its start on PlayStation platforms, producing a couple of critically acclaimed PlayStation Minis which were later ported natively to the PlayStation Vita. However, it dumped Sony for its first major home console project, as Scram Kitty and his Buddy on Rails released as a Wii U exclusive last year. Of...
News Borderlands: The Handsome Collection Brings the Shooter Series to PS4
Jack's back
Ever since Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel was announced, people have been crying out for a PlayStation 4 release, and so it's no surprise that the game, along with the critically acclaimed Borderlands 2, is gunning for Sony's newest console. Dubbed The Handsome Collection, the two titles will, for the first time, feature four player...
Review Citizens of Earth (PlayStation 4)
Recruit 'em all
It's not every day that a developer fails to fund its game through Kickstarter, but still gets picked up by a publisher of legendary stature like Atlus. However, this is the exact route taken by Eden Industries with its SNES-inspired Citizens of Earth, which borrows heavily from Ape and HAL Laboratory's cult classic, EarthBound. With...
News Sengoku Basara 4: Sumeragi Brings Over-The-Top Samurai Action to PS4
In Japan at least
The Sengoku Basara series is returning to the fray this Summer, as its newest instalment slashes onto the PS4 and PS3. Named Sengoku Basara 4: Sumeragi, the update will feature forty playable characters, and the PS4 version will run in 60 frames-per-second at 1080p — which sounds rather glorious. For anyone who's out of the...
News Apologetic PlayStation Plus Extensions Being Rolled Out Now
Five free days of service
If you were one of the millions of people impacted by the PlayStation Network outage over Christmas, then you'll no doubt be wondering where your compensation has got to. Fortunately, platform holder Sony has announced that it's started rolling out five day PlayStation Plus extensions to all members now. You'll only be...
News Everyone's Entitled to 10 Per Cent Off the PlayStation Store This Weekend
Wallets at the ready
Christmas may be gone, but the gifts keep coming. As part of Sony's apology for the PlayStation Network outage over the holidays, the platform holder has announced that you'll be able to use your pledged 10 per cent discount voucher this weekend in both Europe and North America. The offer will open at 09:00AM local time on 23rd...
The times are changing
Bandai Namco recently sent out its North American team to interview Dragon Ball Xenoverse's developers at Japan's Jump Festa 2015, and the result is the rather insightful video that we've embedded. Sporting a spot of new in-game footage and some fresh story details, it's well worth a watch if you're interested in the upcoming...
Review Assassin's Creed Unity: Dead Kings (PlayStation 4)
Merde
If we were writing this review for an English literature class, we'd argue that Franciade is a metaphor for Assassin's Creed Unity as a whole. The expansive sandbox setting, which serves as hero Arno Dorian's stomping ground during add-on Dead Kings, is dark and dreary, contrasting the oversaturated architecture of Paris with something a...
Round Up Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell PS4 Reviews Rise Through the Fire and Flames
Rubber Johnny
There's been much ado about review code here at Push Square Towers of late, as our copy of Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell – and, consequently, bundled remaster Saints Row IV: Re-Elected – has seemingly got lost in the post. This means that we've, sadly, been unable to deliver on our New Year's Resolution of improving the timeliness of...
News The Combos You Can Pull Off in Dragon Ball Xenoverse Look Absolutely Devastating
And stay down
It's only a short trailer, but Dragon Ball Xenoverse's latest shows off the game's combo potential. From Super Saiyan 3 Goku to Nappa, linking up your attacks looks fantastic, and it's probably great for whacking whole chunks out of your enemy's health bar. Our favourite part has to be when Goku smacks Kid Buu right in the face, which...
Review Resident Evil (PlayStation 4)
S.T.A.R.S. power
The Resident Evil "REmake" is frequently offered as an example of just how fantastic the series was back in the day. With its stunning visuals, impressive additions, and less embarrassing opening cutscene, it's easy to forget that this enhanced version of the survival horror classic sold well under two million copies on the...
News Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Shows off Its 'The Last' Movie Character Designs
Last but not least
Fans will no doubt be over the moon to learn that several Naruto characters will have their newest designs from the latest animation featured in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4. The Last: Naruto the Movie, which takes place years after the events of the Shippuden manga and anime series, boasts new, more mature looks for...
News What Actually Comes with Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin on PS4, PS3?
Deadly confused
While Street Fighter IV may hold the championship belt for confusing re-releases, the upcoming PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 update Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin seems like a strong contender. If your head is spinning pondering whether you should upgrade, however, don't worry, as we have you covered in a handy guide...
News Be Prepared for Bloodborne with This PS4 Controls Video
Instructional entertainment
They do trailers a little differently in Japan. While the West is all about attention grabbing set-pieces, the people overseas are much more content to sit through seven minutes of input options. This video, then, will get you up to speed with all of the different DualShock 4 commands on offer in PlayStation 4 exclusive...
News Don't Grenade Yourself to Progress in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
The ban hammer awaits
We're quite prone to the odd misplaced grenade in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, but apparently there are worse butter fingers than us. Unfortunately, those with slippy digits are using this 'ailment' to their advantage, committing suicide over and over again in order to get ranked with lower level players. The idea is that...
News These PlayStation Experience Attendees Are Hyped for The Order: 1886 on PS4
Lycan it
While this certainly isn't the worst marketing blunder that we've seen for The Order: 1886 thus far, we don't reckon that it's going to do the PlayStation 4 exclusive any favours. Shot at PlayStation Experience, the embedded video is essentially one of those awful audience reaction trailers that terribad b-movies employ when their budget...
News UK Sales Charts: Grand Theft Auto V Sits Pretty at Summit
Déjà vu
Zzzzz. Forget about the Green Day song Wake Me Up When September Ends, we're writing a new version, and it's called Wake Me Up When the UK Sales Charts Change. There are no surprises in this week's update, with Grand Theft Auto V, FIFA 15, and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare all finishing at the top. Ubisoft trio Far Cry 4, The Crew, and...
News Five Free DriveClub Tracks Out Now on PS4 as Part of Bumper Patch
Tuned up
We have to qualify every DriveClub article with a comment about its crippling issues at launch, but we're also now allowed to stress just how far the racer's come – and that's a long way. In addition to actually working as intended, outstanding support has prompted the release to speed right to the front of the PlayStation 4 pack, and...
Push Rewind Dying Light Delays, PSN Sales, and The Order: 1886
Wakey wakey
Hello there, Push Rewind – fancy seeing you here. Yes, it's been a little while since we've run one of these, primarily because there wasn't much going on over Christmas – but also because we had to adapt the logo ever so slightly to reflect the brand new branding. There's not an enormous amount to recap this week, so we'll keep...
News Dying Light's PS4 Retail Release Delayed Due to Production Problems
Stumbles in Europe, Australia, and others
The curse of 2014 shuffles on, as physical copies of Dying Light have been delayed in Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Speculation was rife yesterday regarding a global setback, but we couldn't sniff out a firm source. Fortunately, a spokesperson on Facebook has explained that this only...
News Hopefully This Canis Canem Edit Video Will Bully Rockstar into a PS4 Sequel
Graphic design student schools the pros
While the mere prospect of going back to school is enough to give us nightmares, we could handle one more term if it meant that we got a Bully sequel. Rockstar's scholastic satire may not have been a commercial smash, but it offered a scathing commentary on dorm room life – and if this video by graphic...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 52
Running late
Wow! It's been a breakneck, busy, bananas kind of week behind-the-scenes here at Push Square Towers, so apologies if our usual programming schedule has been a bit all over the place. The exciting news is that Monday's bureaucracy paved the way for Friday's exuberance, so this author is sitting here with a renewed sense of enthusiasm...
News How Does PS4 Exclusive Until Dawn Plan to Scare You Senseless?
Terrifying tricks
We know that PlayStation 4 exclusive Until Dawn is supposed to scare us just as much as it makes us laugh, but how does developer Supermassive Games plan to pull off this trick? Well, for a start, it's hired some truly talented horror writers. "We have Larry Fassenden and Graham Reznick as our script writers,” Supermassive...
News You Won't Need to Be a Knight to Nab the Platinum Trophy in PS4's The Order: 1886
Game has gone gold
While the likes of Sir Galahad and crew may require the murky MacGuffin Blackwater to keep their senses sharp, you clearly won't be needing any of the misty liquid to earn the Platinum Trophy in The Order: 1886. Bucking current industry trends, the PlayStation 4 exclusive will boast just 22 Trophies in total – and none of them...
News Destiny and Minecraft Topped 2014's PSN Sales Charts
Act surprised
Another day, another chance to find out 2014 sales data. This time it's quite interesting, though, as Sony has shared lists of the best selling titles on the PlayStation Network. In North America, Destiny blasted the competition and landed in first place on PS4, while in Europe, Minecraft dug its way to victory on every single console...
News Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell's Launch Trailer Is Even More Ridiculous Than We Imagined
Fly Johnny, fly
Saints Row IV was an utterly ridiculous experience, and developer Volition seems keen to carry that tone through the series' upcoming expansion, Gat Out of Hell. Of course, we knew that already, but the standalone DLC's launch trailer still managed to surprise us. The video's full of dumb, crass humour and stupid selling points, but...
News DriveClub's Lake Shoji Trailer Proves It's Still the PS4's Prettiest Racer
Weather with you
While its launch was nothing short of a total fiasco, PlayStation 4 racer DriveClub has actually managed to find a fairly sizable following. Indeed, the title managed to be the most popular platform exclusive released last year. As was planned, the game is receiving a fairly steady stream of downloadable content, and this trailer...
News If Yakuza Zero Doesn't Come West, We'll Cry Manly Tears
Kamurocho calling
If you're a regular Push Square reader, then you'll know that we're massive fans of the Yakuza franchise. A drama-filled series that plays a lot like an action RPG, the games explore stories that are entwined in the underbelly of one of Japan's seediest fictional districts. Yakuza Zero is the latest instalment, and after watching...
News Ubisoft Developer Reckons Watch Dogs Has "a Lot of Room for Improvement"
Howling at the moon
When Watch Dogs released last year, we thought that it was a pretty solid sandbox romp, but like many games that had come before it, there was enough to improve upon to make us think that an inevitable sequel would end up being the real highlight. Fortunately, creative director Jonathan Morin agrees with us. In an interview with...
News December NPD: Sony Looking to Momentous 2015 as PS4 Sits in Second Place
Still best selling box of 2014
There was no major upset in the December NPD report, as the PlayStation 4 slumped to its second defeat of the calendar year. Sony's system was on top for the first ten months of 2014, but lost out to Microsoft's major Xbox One price promotions in November - and that continued through December, too. Despite this, its...
Poll Is It Now Time for Sony to Consider a $349.99 PS4 Price Promotion?
Talking in circles
Stop us if you've heard this one before. Yes, we're back with another familiar article involving PlayStation 4 price points, console sales, and the exact kind of story that's seemingly become our lifeblood over the past few months. Before you dive into the comments to tell us to fix our broken record, though, hear us out: we're at...
News Sharpen Your Knowledge With The Witcher 3's Recap Trailer
A bloody good time
It's now 2015, and with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt starting to close in on our once peaceful lives, it's time to get hyped with a few minutes of storytelling. Giving a brief overview of what a Witcher actually is, the title's latest trailer is narrated as folklore, and it certainly sets the tone. Now that the ominous Wild Hunt is...
News DriveClub Was the UK's Best Selling Exclusive of 2014
Pulling ahead
It may come as a shock to many, but DriveClub, the PlayStation 4 exclusive racer that was plagued by launch issues, was the UK's best selling exclusive game of 2014. The full list, which comes from MCV, takes console bundles into account, but doesn't follow digital sales, so we can probably assume that the gorgeous drive-'em-up sold by...
News Toukiden: Kiwami Brings an End to the Age of Demons on PS4, Vita in March
Oni way to go
It's been rumoured for a little while, but Koei Tecmo has confirmed that Toukiden: Kiwami will lop body parts off a slew of all-new Oni on the PlayStation 4 and Vita imminently. The updated re-release will be available from 27th March in Europe in both physical and digital formats, and 31st March in North America. Start sharpening...
News What the Heck's Going on with PlayStation Store Pre-Orders in Europe?
Pre-load problems
There are a total of six PlayStation 4 games available to pre-order on the European PlayStation Store right now, two of which have expanded premium options. This compares pretty poorly to North America, where there's at least double that amount. Noticeable absentees include Resident Evil and Grim Fandango, both of which support...
News Try Not to Laugh at This Mortal Kombat X Trailer
Mindless violence
Mortal Kombat has always been dumber than a 90s Jim Carrey movie, but the series did go through a period where it took itself a teensy bit too seriously. Fortunately, there's no danger of that occurring in the forthcoming PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 sequel Mortal Kombat X, as this absolutely hilarious trailer evidences. In it,...
News You Can Now Buy DriveClub for £19.99 with PlayStation Plus
Reasonably priced game
DriveClub's much anticipated PlayStation Plus Edition is still stuck in a showroom somewhere, but Sony seems eager to capitalise on the good word of mouth surrounding the release right now. Following a lengthy spell in the top ten of the UK sales charts, the manufacturer has reduced the price of the PlayStation 4 exclusive...
News You Lot Have Slain Over 2.5 Million Dragons in Dragon Age: Inquisition
Swooping isn't that bad
Dragons are some of the most powerful enemies that you can attempt to slaughter in Dragon Age: Inquisition, but that hasn't stopped players from destroying over 2.5 million of them. The winged beasts are rare in Thedas, with only a handful of fully grown reptiles to find throughout the game, so the fact that so many have...
News DriveClub Blossoms in New Nakasendo Track
What do you think, yen?
Remember yesterday's DriveClub teaser? Well, as promised, Evolution Studios has dropped a full video of the Nakasendo-inspired route, which sees you drifting down mountains, racing through tunnels, and past one or two cherry blossom trees. As with all of the other point-to-point courses in the PlayStation 4 exclusive, it...
News Take a Tour of Dying Light's Dilapidated Map on PS4
To die for
Dying Light is easily the biggest game set to deploy on the PlayStation 4 this month – sorry, Resident Evil – so we figured that you may fancy a sneaky peek at its corpse ridden map. The rotting playground known as Harran may not be enormous, but this brand new PlayStation Access video shows off some of its districts, from a smelly...
News You'll Be Fighting to Destroy the World in PS4 Indie Rack 'n' Ruin
Unleashing Hell
We've all saved fantasy worlds from total destruction countless times, but it's not often that we get to fight in the hope of dooming them. In upcoming PlayStation 4 indie Rack 'n' Ruin, though, that's exactly what you'll be doing. Playing as a powerful demon who seems to have taken some inspiration from the deliciously evil main...
News Here's a Better Look at Dead or Alive 5: Last Round's Newest Fighter
Isn't it past your bedtime?
Described in her very own trailer as a "super secret fighter chick", Honoka is 18-years-old and likes wearing a single glove. In all seriousness, though, she looks like a pretty good addition to the cast, and she sports some powerful-looking combos in the video that we've embedded. Revealed in yesterday's Famitsu, the...
Store Update 14th January 2014 (Europe)
Dead kings
Parts of the UK are snowed in today, so it's a good job that you don't need to go outside to shop at the PlayStation Store. To be fair, this week's shelf refresh doesn't have a whole lot to shout about, with Joe Danger 2: The Movie and add-on packs for Assassin's Creed Unity and Far Cry 4 being the only real highlights. Do you see...
News DmC: Definitive Edition for PS4 Unleashes Its Combo Earlier Than Expected
You Dante say
DmC: Definitive Edition will be launching for the PlayStation 4 a week early, Capcom has revealed. That's right, you'll be able to listen to all of not-Dante's unbearably angsty quips on 10th March rather than the originally planned 17th March. The reason for the change is unclear, but we suspect that the aforementioned protagonist's...
News Sony Chucks The Last of Us Remastered in $399.99 PS4 Packages
Can't be for nothing
Believe it or not, the PlayStation 4 is already over a year old, and while sales are extremely strong, we're rapidly approaching that point where Sony needs to add value to its box in order to maintain momentum. Fortunately, the manufacturer's got the memo, as it's thrown The Last of Us Remastered into its bog-standard 500GB Jet...
News PS4 Exclusive The Order: 1886 Explores Its Dark Side
No one is safe
There's clearly going to be a darker side to The Order: 1886 than we've seen so far, as a lot of the game's European commercials have had a horror vibe. This new one named 'Bobby Paige' is a particularly petrifying affair, as a child recites a rhyme regarding the titular lout's transition into a lycan. More of this sort of thing,...
Store Update 13th January 2015 (North America)
Sweet 'n' tasty
We're now well into January, but the PlayStation Store is yet to wake from its post-Christmas slumber. That's ok, though, because this week is all about quality over quantity – and with Joe Danger 2: The Movie, Fat Princess: Piece of Cake, and, er, Brandish: The Dark Revenant in the pipeline, who could possibly argue? Here's what...
News It's a Downhill Jam in PS4 Racer DriveClub's New Japan Track
The long and winding road
As has been the source of speculation for several weeks now, DriveClub is bursting onto the Japanese racing scene – and judging by this video, proceedings are about to get a little Initial D. Just as with SEGA's adaptation of the popular manga series, this clip shows a Corvette C6 drifting down a hill in the driving rain...
Back for more
If the January PlayStation Store sale hasn't been enough to satiate your lust for savings, then these current 20th Anniversary deals might just claw away the last few coins from your wallet. Covering PS4, PS3, Vita, and even PSP games, the North American sale offers discounts on a large number of titles, and if you're a PlayStation...
News Stop the Press, PSN Will Be Undergoing Maintenance This Week
Gasp
Believe it or not, the PlayStation Network is undergoing maintenance later this week, and as per usual, it seems to be of the standard sort. "During this time, we will deploy a series of back-end improvements to the network," Sony says. The service will be impacted on 15th January, and the maintenance will last four hours, from 17:00PM GMT to...
News You Need to Complete Quick-Time Events in Yakuza Zero to Answer Telephones
New video is NSFW
It's not often that we watch a 19-minute trailer for a game and are left gob-smacked by a mere 60 seconds of it, but that's what's happened with Yakuza Zero's latest video. As you've probably guessed from the headline, series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu will have to complete a quick-time event to properly answer a telephone, and...
News Fight the Dying Light with New Book Based on Techland's PS4 Game
Reader beware
Transmedia storytelling always seems forced, but there's just enough plot in properties like Mass Effect and The Elder Scrolls to make it work. Polish developer Techland isn't exactly best known for its storytelling, but that hasn't stopped Warner Bros from going all-in and commissioning a novel based on its forthcoming parkour-'em-up,...
News Hats Off to Mortal Kombat X's Latest Kombatant, Kung Lao
Bowled over
Mortal Kombat's resident hat model will be switching out his smooth headgear for something a little more rugged in the forthcoming Mortal Kombat X. Ed Boon, the gravel voiced veteran behind the franchise, has tweeted out a high-res image of Kung Lao from the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 sequel, and he's sporting a spiky sombrero as...
News Payday 2: Crimewave Edition May Say Heist to PS4 in April
On the rob
Re-releases are all the rage right now, but this one is so low-profile that we'd forgotten it was even happening in the first place. PSU reports that Best Buy has slapped a 21st April release date on Payday 2: Crimewave Edition, the PlayStation 4 update of Overkill Software's acclaimed robbery simulator. That's a Tuesday so could be...

News Dead or Alive 5: Last Round's New Diva Is Dressed Exactly as You'd Expect
Saved by the bell
We're guessing that it was a late Friday afternoon when Team Ninja decided upon Dead or Alive 5: Last Round's new character. "Before we head home, guys, we just need to come up with a bonus brawler to make our forthcoming PlayStation 4 re-release look like real value," one executive likely said, sitting around a large table...
News Just What the Heck Is Media Molecule Making for PS4?
New video includes some clues
We get spoon-fed quite a lot of information on a daily basis here at Push Square Towers, but the best part about the job is piecing together press releases, statements, and other tidbits in order to form an impression of the industry as it stands. One thing that we can't figure out, however, is what the heck Media...
