News Study With a Virtual Reality Schoolgirl on PS4, Thanks to Tekken Team and Project Morpheus
Oh, Harada...
Project Morpheus is exciting tech for PlayStation 4. The potential, the possibilities — its only limit is the imagination of the developers working with it. And, well, if you're Katsuhiro Harada, head of the Tekken development team, then a virtual reality headset brings only one thing to mind: a schoolgirl. That's right, Summer...
News Control The Tides of Battle With Bladestorm: The Hundred Year War & Nightmare on PS4
You and what army
We've heard fans voice their complaints on the forums that there aren't enough real time strategy games on the PlayStation 4, and it seems Koei Tecmo was thinking the same thing with the announcement of Bladestorm: The Hundred Year War and Nightmare. Coming before the end of 2014 in Japan, it's the sequel to the franchise that...

Speaking during the presser, affable executive Shuhei...
News Don't Look Now, But PS4 Demo P.T. Has Been Downloaded Over 1 Million Times
Shudder
Hideo Kojima took to the stage at Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show conference earlier today, where he announced that P.T — the playable teaser of Silent Hills — had been downloaded over one million times. The statistic is actually rather impressive when you stop to think about it. It was only at Gamescom that
News PS4 Exclusive Bloodborne Looks Gory and Gorgeous in This New Gameplay Trailer

Our anticipation for Bloodborne has been growing steadily with each passing second, but it saw a massive spike when Sony revealed a brand new gameplay trailer for the title during its pre-TGS conference this morning. The painfully short clip shows off a handful of grandiose cu

Wait your turn
If you feel like the PlayStation 4 is a bit lacking when it comes to tactical RPGs, never fear, as the always solid Disgaea franchise will soon be hitting Sony's super system. Officially announced during the platform holder's pre-TGS conference, there is very little known about the new title, except that it exists. However, we did...
News Dragon Quest Meets Dynasty Warriors in PS4's Dragon Quest Heroes
Musou for life
It seems like an eternity since we had a Dragon Quest game on a PlayStation platform, but that's all changing next year — in Japan, at least. Announced at Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show conference earlier today, Dragon Quest Heroes is a collaboration between Square Enix and Omega Force — the developer behind the Warriors games. In...

Everybody calm down
In the middle of a rather packed Tokyo Game Show pre-conference this morning, Sony announced that upgraded port God Eater 2: Rage Burst will be coming to the PlayStation 4 and Vita in Japan. While it's still a little unclear how much of the game will be new, we think it's safe to assume that it will be similar to God Eater Burst,...

Plus, get a quick look at the game's cast
Ever since its initial reveal, Persona fans have been clawing at developer Atlus for a PlayStation 4 port of Persona 5. At first, the upcoming Japanese RPG was confirmed as a PS3 exclusive.

Push Rewind September's PlayStation Plus Offering, More PSN Downtime, and Saints Row on PS4
A mixed bag
It's been a rather straightforward week here at Push Square. We've had a fair few reviews, a little bit of bad news, and a look at September's all important PlayStation Plus update. The week ahead is perhaps more important, as we gaze forward to Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show conference and next month's big releases, but it's always nice to...
News Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is Smashing Its Way onto PS4
We know what you're thinking
Stop those dirty thoughts right this instant. Yes, Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is coming to the PlayStation 4, and no, we don't know if it'll feature, er, improved physics. The fighter's already gone through several incarnations on the PS3, but with a port to Sony's newest console, it should look better than ever, and...
Video Watch as We Take a Trip Back in Time to Round-Up Gamescom 2014 and Its Game of the Show
Oh the memories
Ah, good old Gamescom 2014. Remember when it divided the gaming community because of its supposed focus on smaller games? We thought that you would. Anyway, we know that it's a bit late, but madcap Video Editor Ben Potter would still love for you to watch his typically mental round-up video. As you may remember, the newly announced...

First, the developer gave its logo a much needed redesign, and now it's moved...

News Gossip Regarding Grand Theft Auto V PS4's Release Date Hints at Delay
Rockstar ain't having any of it, though
Grand Theft Auto V is quite possibly the strangest PlayStation 4 game to date. Pegged for release later this year, the title still doesn’t have a firm release date – or any real details at all attached to it. In a financial meeting earlier in the year, publishing overlord Take Two stated that the next-gen...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 36
All night long
Ah, the weekend – that quiet period where real work is cancelled in favour of household chores.

Here’s what we’re going to be up to...
News Peggle 2's Popping onto PS4 This October
About time
Popular puzzler pop-'em-up Peggle 2 will be partaking in some PlayStation 4 partying this October, the game's official Twitter account has revealed.

News Phew, Dragon Age: Inquisition's Multiplayer Will Not Affect the Single Player Story
Thank the Maker
We remember the negative commotion that surrounded Mass Effect 3's co-op mode all too well, and so we were a little worried about whether or not Dragon Age: Inquisition's newly announced multiplayer would have any effect on the single player story, if only so we didn't have to wade through countless hate-filled forum posts...
News Saints Row IV and All of Its DLC Gets Re-Elected on PS4 Next Year
We should have known
We were busy typing away about the rather surprising reveal of Saints Row: Gat out of Hell, when suddenly, developer Volition decided to throw a slightly less shocking announcement our way. That's right, the PlayStation 4 is getting another last-gen port, and this time, it's the wacky Saints Row IV, which now comes with the...
News Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell is Coming to PS4, and It's, Er, a Standalone Expansion Pack
Gone when the morning comes
Well, we didn't see that one coming. As you've no doubt heard, publisher Deep Silver released a Saints Row teaser image over Twitter earlier today, and with developer Volition hosting a panel at this year's PAX convention this evening, it seemed all but assured that the crazy sandbox franchise would be making an...
Talking Point Is Indie Becoming a Defunct, Dirty Word?
Term worm
Indie is the video game equivalent of Marmite: a sector of the medium so divisive that it’s simultaneously culpable of both dismay and delight. The very website that you’re reading is evidence of that, but we’re not alone: scuffles and skirmishes more heated than the format wars themselves can be attributed to the increasingly taboo...
Review Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare (PlayStation 4)
A real grower
Years of cultivation at PopCap Games has led to the growth of its latest title, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare. This series has long been known as a popular tower defence title – however, the developer has now planted its roots into new soil by changing the format slightly. As its Call of Duty spoofing name may indicate, this...

Taking Sanctuary on PlayStation
Having only just covered Dust: An Elysian Tail, here we have a game from another prominent Xbox 360 developer coming to the PlayStation 4 – and the PlayStation Vita, too.

News Put This PS4 Footage of Project Cars into Gear
Petrol head
Racing games are like London buses: you wait ages for one to pull up, and then several appear at once. It’s been a disappointing first year for petrol heads on the PlayStation 4, with only really Need for Speed: Rivals to keep you occupied – but thankfully the outlook looks, er, good over the coming weeks. In addition to DriveClub...
News Dust: An Elysian Tail Flaunts Its Fur on PS4 Really, Really Soon
1080p, 60FPS
There are plenty of people out there who grumble about indie games on the PlayStation 4. Maybe they feel cheated by the lack of original, super polished AAA titles coming out on the next-gen system right now, or maybe they don't feel that indie experiences are pushing their expensive hardware to its limit. However, we defy anyone, even...
News Metal Slug 3 Runs and Guns Its Way onto the PS4, PS3, and Vita
Pixel perfect port
No self-respecting videogame console would be complete without at least a handful of Metal Slug ports to its name, so we're happy to report that Metal Slug 3 will be arriving on all three of Sony's super systems later this year. Recently announced on the PlayStation Blog, the bombastic port will apparently come packed with some...

News Delve Deep Down the Rabbit Hole of PS4's Prettiest Free-to-Play Game
Sword and sorcery
Deep Down was supposed to deploy in Japan around the time of the PlayStation 4’s launch in February, but, outside of an E3 trailer, has actually been missing in action for quite a while. Many pondered whether the lack of new information was a sign of the title’s quiet cancellation, but it’s re-emerged toda
News Saints Row Dances with the Devil Ahead of Sequel Reveal
Playing with the dead
The 3rd Street Saints appear to be playing games with the dead, if a teaser image from the next title is to be believed. Sent out as both a minimalistic press release and as a Twitter post, the above image appears to show a Ouija board embellished with the Saints Row logo. Considering that the next entry in the zany series is...
News Alone With You Brings Psychological Romance to PS4 and Vita
Home Alone
Benjamin Rivers is the man responsible for developing Home. No, not PlayStation's abandoned social game cross dance-'em-up, but the indie horror title of the same name that's on its way to the PlayStation 4 and Vita. However, he has another title in the works – and this one's an exclusive. Confusingly structured but beautifully...
Feature Watch and Yearn - Are YouTube and Twitch Influencing Game Design?
Tune in
“A 20 minute video changed my life,” said Mike Bithell in an interview with GamesTM. “That's the reality.” And he's right. Thomas Was Alone is a minimalistic, esoteric little gem which seemed likely to come and go without turning many heads. And without videos like the one posted by TotalBiscuit, which now has over 300,000 v
News Ubisoft Keeps its Blade Hidden by Delaying Assassin's Creed Unity into November
October's a bit lighter
A few months ago, October was looking like this year's most bloated period for new releases, but a few big delays later, and November is beginning to look like 2014's real heavy hitter. It may only be a relatively small delay of two weeks, but Ubisoft has saw fit to push back Assassin's Creed Unity all the same. The next-gen...

News Yay, PSN's Delayed Scheduled Maintenance Returns Today
Don't worry, you'll be able to play online

News LEGO Batman 3 Travels Beyond Gotham from 11th November
Beyond Gotham, Before Christmas
The LEGO series may not be the world's most innovative, but it reliably serves up a satisfying, kid-friendly portion of brick-bashing and exploration.

Feature What Are September 2014's Free PlayStation Plus Games?
Give us the goods
The only issue with writing about games is that one tends to construct their life around release dates, press conferences, and PlayStation Plus updates. If you asked us whether September was approaching, we’d only be able to accurately answer because of today’s Instant Game Collection information. Of course, you haven’t...

News PlayStation Plus' Quality Sure Hasn't Declined in Japan
Value added
There’s a lot of chatter about the quality of PlayStation Plus of late.

Heavy hitters
It’s an absolutely gigantic week on the North American PlayStation Store this time, especially for the PlayStation 4.

Review Trials Fusion: Empire of the Sky (PlayStation 4)
Looking up
If there was one thing wrong with Trials Fusion, it was that there wasn’t enough chances to fall tens of thousands of feet to your death.

Miami Visceral
With the stylish murder simulator Hotline Miami first hitting the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita in 2013, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the darling indie title has already achieved critical acclaim and a cult following of devout 80s obsessed adrenaline junkies.

Guide How to Get a High Score in inFAMOUS: First Light's Battle Arenas
Play Fetch
One of the most frequent criticisms lofted at the inFAMOUS franchise is its relative lack of replayability, but superhero spin-off inFAMOUS: First Light attempts to solve that problem with a slew of Battle Arenas. Contextualised in the fiction as training facilities for the Conduits held captive at Curdun Cay, these additional missions...
Out This Week inFAMOUS: First Light, Metro Redux, Madden NFL 15
Going underground
An old industry folktale states that the release of Madden signals the start of the stressful release season for reviewers, and it seems accurate again in this instance.
