News PS4 Shooter Killzone: Shadow Fall's DLC Will Allow You to Act Like a Plank
Trump on your targets
While it may not be the most appropriate admission for the editor of a PlayStation site, this particular scribe wiled away many hours acting like an utter idiot in Halo 2. Back then, the only real tool for acts of humiliation was the crouch button – but Killzone: Shadow Fall is taking things to the next level with its...
News Already Own The Last of Us? You Won't Be Getting a Discount to Upgrade to PS4
At least you know it's not a hack job
You didn’t think that we were going to sign off without one final The Last of Us Remastered story, did you? As part of today’s big blowout, Sony has confirmed that there’ll be no discount for existing owners of Naughty Dog’s survival horror opus looking to upgrade to the PlayStation 4 version – despite...
Talking Point Why PS4's Christmas Offering Is Much Cleverer Than You Think
An excellent excuse
We’ve written so much about the PlayStation 4’s holiday lineup that we’re beginning to sound a little bit like a Skrillex record that has bass drops so heavy that the needle gets caught in its cavernous grooves. Much like the PlayStation 3 before it, there’s a narrative developing that Sony’s next-gen super machine is...
Store Update 16th July 2014 (Europe)
Something good
Much like its North American counterpart, this week’s European PlayStation Store update has a nice summer feel; in other words, there’s so little on offer that you may actually be forced to head outside and enjoy the warm weather. If that’s a frightening prospect for you, there are a few worthwhile additions this week, including...
News How Is the PS4 Controller Used in The Last of Us Remastered?
Touched by the touchpad
The novelty of the DualShock 4’s superfluous features have lost a little of their lustre of late, but that doesn’t give developers an excuse to ignore them. Fortunately, upcoming PlayStation 4 re-release The Last of Us Remastered will boast some nifty features enabled by the next-gen console’s overhauled input device...
Store Update 15th July 2014 (North America)
Bloodlust
We hope that you haven’t cleared your backlog yet, because there’s not a whole lot to get excited about in this week’s North American PlayStation Store update. Gory twin-stick shooter Crimsonland is arguably the most noteworthy addition, while artsy sidescroller Abyss Odyssey is also up for grabs. We’re convinced that the latter...
News The Last of Us Remastered Will Replenish PS4's Stamina with More Add-Ons
DualShock 4's light bar will have a part to play
As we’ve already established, The Last of Us Remastered is not your ordinary re-release. Not only has the port been handled internally by award-winning developer Naughty Dog, but it’s also arguably the most important PlayStation 4 exclusive of the year. As such, it’s no surprise to see the...
Weirdness No, Grand Theft Auto V on PS4 Is Definitely Not Free
Wouldn't it be nice?
The trio of seedy leads in Grand Theft Auto V love to embark on dodgy get rich quick schemes, but even they’d have the nous to know that Sony’s made a bit of a blunder on the North American PlayStation Store today. The next-gen re-release of Rockstar Games’ sandbox opus is currently showing in the digital plaza's pre-order...
News This Is How Sony's Going to Promote PS4 Port The Last of Us Remastered
Resistance is futile
Whether or not you think that it’s an embarrassing indictment of the state of the PlayStation 4’s post-launch lineup, there’s little doubt that The Last of Us Remastered is the next-gen console’s most important release since inFAMOUS: Second Son earlier in the year. As such, Sony has pledged some serious marketing muscle...
News Sony Wants to Win Nintendo Wii Owners with the PlayStation 4
For all of the players
Sony has always been a pioneer in the video game space, but sometimes a lack of conviction has let its consoles down. In many ways, the PlayStation 2 was ahead of the casual gamer curve, with titles such as Buzz, SingStar, and EyeToy Play appealing to families in a way that traditional hardcore games hadn't. However, the...
News OneChanbara Z2: Chaos Brings Out Its Best Bikinis on PS4
Undead and undressed
When dealing with violent zombie hordes, we’d probably want to keep our flesh covered up. Appropriate clothing is not a phrase that exists in OneChanbara Z2: Chaos’ lexicon, however, as the upcoming PlayStation 4 undead-a-thon will see you attempting to save the world in little other than a bikini top and a thong. It’s a...
News This Mass Effect 4 Panel Comes with Commander Shepard's Endorsement
Hero's favourite public forum at Comic-Con 2014
Hotly anticipated PlayStation 4 follow-up Mass Effect 4 is in a weird sort of promotional limbo right now, strangely nestling somewhere between announced and unannounced. We know that the game exists, for example, but we don’t really know a whole lot about it – and that makes its inclusion in the...
Review Crimsonland (PlayStation 4)
Don't fear the reaper
Twin-stick shooters are like Hollywood action films. They’re violent, bold, and, while there’s plenty going around, very few are actually any good. Crimsonland is the latest entry in the once popular genre, and does very little to differentiate itself from the competition. But does this adherence to tried and tested tropes...
News You Won't Have to Wait Long for Additional Tekken 7 Information
Rising like Paul Phoenix
We’re not entirely sure what Bandai Namco was planning to announce during the EVO Championships last weekend, but it ended up unveiling Tekken 7 anyway. Legend has it that series overlord Katsuhiro Harada was left editing the release’s debut trailer in his hotel room after details leaked, which would pe
News Saints Row's Stupidity Will Almost Certainly Return on PS4
Loud and proud
Since the success of Saints Row IV on the PlayStation 3, developer Volition has been a little secretive. There were rumours coming out of E3 2014 that publisher Deep Silver was about to announce a new entry in the stupid sandbox series, but that turned out to be the equally ridiculous Dead Island 2. Alas, the aforementioned outfit...
News PlayStation Plus Freebie Don't Starve is Getting Dastardly DLC Next Week
Hungry for more?
It has recently been announced by developer Klei Entertainment that Don't Starve – the game with a title that is both descriptive, and also just really good life advice – will be receiving its new DLC next week. The Reign of the Giants content will be releasing in North America on 22nd July, and in Europe on 23rd July. Not long...
News So, PS4 Re-Release The Last of Us Remastered Appears to Be Finished
Just a little longer
That ain’t no Clicker that you can hear in the distance – it’s the sound of applause erupting from Naughty Dog’s roomy Californian office. Cryptically writing on Twitter, lead animator Mike Yosh has posted a picture of a gold bar, which is almost certainly connected to the completion of PlayStation 4 re-release The Last...
News Will PS4 Win the Battle for China? Our Survey Says...
Ker-ching
Now that the Chinese government no longer believes that video games will rot the mind of its teens like teeth cleaned with Coca-Cola, both Sony and Microsoft are scrambling to release their next-gen consoles in the region. It’s easy to understand why: the untapped nation represents a potential audience of over one billion. So, who will...
News You'll Probably Never, Ever Earn These PS4 Trophies
Don't worry, neither will we
A bit like that Taylor Swift song featuring a chorus of gregarious goats, there are some PlayStation 4 Trophies that, to put things mildly, are trouble, trouble, trouble. Rather than ‘bah’ at them and be done with it, though, our friends over at PlayStation Access have compiled this fine video outlining their...
News Superman vs. Sub Zero? PS4's Mortal Kombat X Will Feature One Guest Character
Place your bloody bets
NetherRealm Studios’ beefy EVO presence may have centred upon the unveiling of Raiden for Mortal Kombat X, but creative director Ed Boon had an additional meaty morsel to share with hardware manufacturer Mad Catz as part of an interview shot during the show. According to the veteran, a guest fighter from a different...

With everything from player-versus-player to Chocobo breeding...
News Spark a Revolution on PS4 with Assassin's Creed Unity's New Gameplay Trailer
A different kind of red, white, and blue
Judging from Assassin's Creed Unity's newest trailer, the French really aren't happy about how their national team bowed out of the World Cup after a disappointing duel with eventual winners Germany. We joke, of course, but the clip that we've embedded is indeed full of rioting Frenchmen, much to the approval...
Out This Week Crimsonland, Abyss Odyssey, and Tumbleweeds
The difficult edition
When we decided that we were going to post regular ‘Out This Week’ articles on Push Square, we knew that we were going to come unstuck eventually – and it’s finally happened. Outside of any last minute announcements, there are just three new titles currently confirmed for the three PlayStation platforms this time,...
News Guerrilla Games' Unannounced PS4 Property to Boast Innovative Online Gameplay
Match makers
We don’t know a whole lot about Guerrilla Games’ unannounced PlayStation 4 project, aside from the fact that it’s in production now. However, a job listing on the Dutch developer’s official website hints that it may sport “innovative online gameplay”
Review Killzone: Shadow Fall - Intercept (PlayStation 4)
In the zone
A dedicated co-op component has long been missing in action over the course of the Killzone series' multiple instalments. If you've ever wanted to blow up Helghast with a buddy outside of the franchise's sometimes disappointing campaigns, then you've always had little choice but to team up together for some competitive play – but now,...
News UK Sales Charts: Watch Dogs Reconnects with the Top Spot
Hanging on the telephone
After a few weeks with shoddy signal, Ubisoft’s sandbox smash Watch Dogs has re-established a connection with the summit of the UK sales charts. The title had been obstructed by Sniper Elite III, which has slipped into second position this week. FIFA 14 mirrored the Netherlands in third, while Wolfenstein: The New Order...
News Leaked PS4 Brawler Tekken 7 Gets a Tense New Teaser Trailer
Tekken it to the streets
Keeping secrets in the video game industry is akin to sailing across the ocean in a boat made out of Swiss cheese: eventually you're going to have some leaks. A recent high-profile example of this trend occurred at this year's EVO competitive fighting game tournament, during which footage of Tekken 7 was revealed much...
News Mortal Kombat X's Raiden Pops the Eyes of His Opponents
Dr. Zeus
Everyone’s favourite lampshade sporting sparrer Raiden is unsurprisingly making a comeback in upcoming PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 sequel Mortal Kombat X – and his hat looks sillier than ever. As revealed at the EVO Championships over the weekend, the Thunder God comes equipped with three gnarly styles, each focusing on alternative...
Push Rewind Destiny Beta Details, The Wolf Among Us, and Develop 2014
Some killer, some filler
We’re not going to lie to you: it’s not been a banner week on Planet PlayStation. With much of the industry pre-occupied by either the summer weather or the World Cup, we’ve packed this edition of Push Rewind with more filler than a Pukka Pie. Still, as anyone that’s scoffed on one of the famous chip shop delicacies...
Rumour Tekken 7 Punches PlayStation 4 Square in the Jaw
King of fighters
It looks like not even the Mishima family has been able to keep Tekken 7 under wraps, as the title has just leaked courtesy of an IGN News video. The sequel was strongly rumoured earlier today when a logo accidentally appeared during the EVO fighting game championships, but the Daemon Hatfield fronted clip seemingly corroborates the...
Video Will David Hayter Star in PS4's Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain After All?
Solid theory
Metal Gear Solid overlord Hideo Kojima loves a good ruse – and we reckon that he’s up to his old tricks again. David Hayter, otherwise known as the voice of Solid Snake and Big Boss, may have been rather publicly ‘replaced’ by 24 star Kiefer Sutherland in his familiar role, but is this just another Phantom Pain-esque troll from...
News Sony: We Won't Close the Door on Crash Bandicoot Comeback
No tribal tattoos, ok?
Sony seems ready to restart the Crash Bandicoot cycle all over again, as group president Andrew House has admitted in an interview with British newspaper The Telegraph that the platform holder’s open to bringing back old mascots such as the Naughty Dog spinster. There were
Weirdness What if Animals Got Infected in The Last of Us?
Pet sounds
It’s an extremely mild spoiler, but you do encounter several different animals throughout the course of Naughty Dog’s survival horror opus, The Last of Us. These land-based mammals, however, are not infected like their human counterparts, which has left us pondering what a post-apocalyptic United States would look like with reanimated...
Rumour Homefront: The Revolution's Hopes of an Uprising Plummet
Title potentially in tatters
Homefront: The Revolution, the first-person franchise revival by Crytek UK, only got announced a few weeks ago – but the project already appears to be in tatters. Widespread reports suggest that the firm formerly known as Free Radical has been working without pay chequ
News Could Knack Possibly Make a Comeback? PS4 Architect Mark Cerny Would Like It To
Indie-esque project next on the agenda
PlayStation 4 exclusive Knack was easily the worst received of the next-gen console’s launch titles, securing a string of low scores around the web. However, it also attained a lot of press in the build up to release, primarily due to its ties to hardware architect – and industry legend – Mark Cerny...
Weirdness The Last of Us' Ellie Can't Play Guitar, But She Can Sure Rock a Violin
Audio from the end of the world
Father figure Joel may promise to teach Ellie how to play guitar at one point in PlayStation 3 – and soon-to-be PlayStation 4 – exclusive The Last of Us, but we didn’t realise that the potty mouthed protagonist was already something of a whiz on the violin. In truth, she’s not – that’s just musician Taylor...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 31
Fruit cocktail
This particular editor may have been lost at sea and unable to steer the ‘What Are You Playing This Weekend’ ship last time around, but dry land is once again beneath your humble host’s feet, and so normal service has resumed.

News Sony: PS4 Needs More Content to Truly Take Off in Japan
Device won't be dead forever

News Sony's Considering a Steam-Style Early Access Program, Says Adam Boyes
Let the games begin
It seems that Steam's famous Summer Sales may not be the only thing Sony's thinking about borrowing from the digital download service. In a recent interview, SCEA big-wig Adam Boyes suggested that the firm may be adopting an early access program. If implemented, it would allow studios to release unfinished games for purchase as a...
News We Still Don't Know What the Heck's Going on in PS4 Shooter VizionEck
That's the sound of us scratching our head
With so many games looking and playing the same these days, it’s become quite easy to explain the mechanics in any given title. However, curious PlayStation 4 first-person shooter VizionEck remains beyond baffling – and that’s even after we’ve read the developer’s full gameplay explanation. Due...

The studio is thought to be switching its attention to the PlayStation 4, with
Talking Point Are Publishers Taking Pre-Order Bonuses Too Far?
Spoilt for choice
Pre-order bonuses used to be exactly that: pre-order bonuses. Retailers would compete over little knick-knacks such as t-shirts, keyrings, and action figures in order to secure your business, and you’d shop at the store that was giving away the specific goodie that you wanted. It was a largely harmless practice, with the...
Guide How to Get into the Destiny Beta on PS4
It's not as hard as you think
So, interested in Destiny, are you? At this point, we suppose the better question is: who isn't interested?

News Samurai Warriors 4 on PS4 Looks Like It'll Take the Crown For Best Looking Warriors Game Yet
Flash, bang, whallop
Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition on PlayStation 4 may have set the bar for how good a Warriors game can look, but we reckon it won't be able to hold on to that title when October rolls around. Samurai Warriors 4 has been given a Japanese trailer that showcases what the slash-'em-up
News Alien: Isolation's Pre-Order Bonus Is Turning into a Pricey Premium

Standalone unit coming later this year in Europe

Valiant effort
Ding dong, E3 is dead – and that means that order has been restored here at Push Square Towers.

It’s not, but it still bloomin’ made its way into our June Game of...

News Have a Peek at Dragon Age: Inquisition's 16 Minute Private E3 Gameplay Demo
Hot stuff
Upcoming PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 RPG Dragon Age: Inquisition had a rather tame showing at EA's E3 press conference last month. Alongside cringe inducing dialogue from the on-stage GM Aaryn Flynn, the game didn't get the big gameplay blowout that many expected, probably due to the publisher's strict time table. Thankfully, the...

News Uncharted Collection a 'Good Candidate' for PS4, but Sony Won't 'Flood the Market' with Remakes
Firm won't Sully reputation
While the PlayStation 4 may be garnering a bit of a reputation for re-releases, The Last of Us Remastered is the only real port currently in Sony's portfolio. Granted, the likes of Escape Plan and Sound Shapes did accompany the console at launch, but these seemed more like late additions to the platform holder’s...

As with the PlayStation 3 before it, there’s an accelerating sentiment around the web that the PlayStation 4 lacks games.

Many argue that Microsoft – with...

Review MouseCraft (PlayStation 4)
Feta than you might think
Taking two loved classics and splicing them together is no mean feat, but the cheese obsessed minds at Crunching Koalas have done just that with their debut title MouseCraft. Taking strong whiffs from both Tetris and Lemmings, this title certainly has a solid premise – but does it do enough to differentiate itself from...
Talking Point Should More Games Try to Teach Us Something?
Swat the swots
Edutainment is a dirty word.

We thought that Sony’s E3 2014 press conference last month would be chock-a-block with next-gen re-releases of PlayStation 3 titles, but only Grand Theft Auto V and The Last of Us Remastered put in appearances. That doesn’t mean that the manufacturer’s not working on up ports of some of its most popular titles, though, and...
