Mighty big shoes to fill
From the moment that the Kickstarter for Mighty No. 9 was announced, there were enormous expectations placed upon it, and it was always going to be impossible to live up to them. The hype came from Keiji Inafune and a team of Mega Man veterans being at the helm of what appeared to be a spiritual successor to the classic...
Round Up Mighty No. 9's PS4 Reviews Are Not So Mighty
More like shitey
Mighty No. 9, the crowd-funded Mega Man-inspired platformer, is looking like a bit of a stinker. Bet you'd never have guessed, eh? We're still boosting through baddies, but our review should be with you imminently [It's up now - Ed]. In the meantime, the rest of the industry doesn't seem overly impressed with Keiji Infafune's...
E3 2016 Spiritual Castlevania Successor Bloodstained's Shaping Up
Alucard would be proud
Kickstarter's proved something of a poisoned chalice for Mighty No. 9 backers, but there's hope that Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night will come together quicker and better than its peer. It's already looking alright, with a PC build on the E3 2016 show floor this week. The exploration looks suitably Metroidvania-esque as...
E3 2016 At Least Agents of Mayhem's First PS4 Gameplay Is Colourful
There's not much else to say
Here's your first look at Agents of Mayhem, the next game from Saints Row developer Volition. What else do you want us to say? It looks colourful, as we mentioned in the headline. The idea of switching between different characters with unique abilities is pretty cool, we guess. Er.
News Agents of Mayhem Seems Sort of Annoying Already
The next game from Saints Row dev Volition
Agents of Mayhem is the next game from Saints Row developer Volition – and it's got the Gearbox sense of humour, sadly. The open world adventure – teased earlier today – sees you assume the role of three different characters (got to have that hero slant), each of which seems more annoying than the...
News Saints Row Dev Volition May Be About to Announce a New Game
Agents of mayhem
IGN's teasing an all-new IGN First reveal, which is set to go live at 08:00AM Pacific Time tomorrow. That's not especially exciting on its own, but the word is that this may be Saints Row developer Volition's new title, which has been in production for a while now. Saints Row IV, of course, launched all the way back in 2013 on the...
Review Dead Island: Definitive Collection (PS4)
Six feet under
Arriving as one of the more unexpected remasters of the year, Dead Island: Definitive Collection sets out to resurrect the popularity of the series in the run up to its troubled second instalment. The question is: has the series already been buried too deep for this remaster to restore its reputation? The collection certainly offers...
News Even Mighty No. 9's Developer Thinks the Latest Trailer Is Trash
"Unforgivable"
This is a story that just keeps getting better and better. After more delays than we care to remember and countless promotional cock-ups, Mighty No. 9 isn't exactly in the best shape leading up to its launch next month on the 21st June. Yesterday, publisher Deep Silver released this trailer, which went down really, really badly with...
News Wait, Dead Island: Riptide Isn't on the Dead Island: Definitive Collection PS4 Disc?
Nope, it's download only
More positive press for the remastered collection that no one asked for: Dead Island: Riptide, the sort-of-sequel to Dead Island, wont be included on the Dead Island: Definitive Collection disc. According to publisher Deep Silver, only the first game will be on the PlayStation 4 disc, meaning that you'll have to download...
News Behold the Mighty No.9 Trailer People Are Tearing to Bits
"Cry like an anime fan on prom night"
Mighty No.9's been stuck between a rock(man) and a hard place for as long as we can remember, and its situation doesn't seem to be improving, even as we near its 21st June release date. The crowdfunded sidescroller looks as rough as ever in its newest trailer, and the 800 dislikes that sit on its YouTube page...
Review Homefront: The Revolution (PS4)
Viva la revolución
The nightmare that surrounded Homefront: The Revolution's development is no secret. After being passed between two different publishers and changing its gameplay in favour of a non-linear style, the title has finally staggered its way towards the finish line after a series of setbacks. But has the extra time and attention poured...
News TimeSplitters Fans, You Should Probably See This
Spoilers, maybe
'Tis truly the age of nostalgic Easter eggs. Already this month has seen the entirety of Shadow of the Beast stuffed inside, er, Shadow of the Beast and… Well, we probably shouldn't mention the other one by name just yet. But now a couple of levels from TimeSplitters 2 have been included in Homefront: The Revolution. Yes, it's...
Round Up Homefront: The Revolution PS4 Reviews Stage an Uprising
Scores of scores
Do you remember Homefront: The Revolution? A bit of inside baseball here: your humble host was too busy animating cacodemons to chase up our review which should have been live today. In other words, even though it's written on the Push Square Towers white board in block capitals, we still forgot about it. Surely the game's better...
News Homefront: The Revolution's Day One Patch Makes the Game Run Properly
As you'd expect
Surprise, surprise: Homefront: The Revolution has a day one patch that comes "strongly recommended" by developer Dambuster Studios. Apparently, the update offers a "range of performance and frame rate improvements". In other words, if you want the game to run as well as you'd expect, you'll probably want to nab this file before you...
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. Dead Island: Retro Rampage desperately doubles down on its dodgy "jokes", however, managing to wrap everything abhorrent about Internet humour into 90 seconds of ear-splittingly bad stand-up,...

Safe zone
Before there was RIME, Spanish developer Tequila Works deployed a side-scrolling zombie survival game named Deadlight – and now it's coming to the PlayStation 4.

News LittleBigPlanet 3 Developer Assumes Control of Dead Island 2
Back from the dead
Dead Island 2 has been re-animated by Sheffield-based studio Sumo Digital.

But despite us getting hands-on time with the release, the German organisation...
News Hey Look, It's a PS4 Remaster Collection No One Asked For
Back from the dead
We remember when Dead Island was a thing before Dying Light came along and made the franchise look like a beta test. Both the original and its sequel, Dead Island: Riptide, weren't terrible games, but we wouldn't say that they're worthy of a PlayStation 4 remastered collection, either. But with titles like Prototype getting...
News This War of Mine: The Little Ones Crawls onto PS4 Today

This War of Mine has finally arrived on the PlayStation 4, and it includes The Little Ones, which is a new feature that enables the form of parent-and-child stories to be unravelled and more touching moments throughout. In the game, you're a survivor with a bunch of other survivors, and if the situation doesn't already sound bad enough,...
Hands On Does Homefront PS4's Co-Op Represent a Revolution?
Derelict teamwork
This game has a past that is not one of secrecy but of an incredibly rocky and public road to completion. Homefront: The Revolution has been tossed between developers like an expensive game of hot potato but it's somehow found light at the end of the tunnel with a release window finally locked in. In fact, it's so close that we...

Delay No. 3
Mega Man-inspired platformer Mighty No. 9 will miss its 9th February release date, marking a third delay for the side-scroller. The game has now been pushed back to the rather nebulous Spring 2016 window, as developer Inti Creates continues to iron out the network issues which have plagued the crowd funded project for almost half a year...
Review This War of Mine: The Little Ones (PS4)
The first casualty of war is innocence
Braving the sniper fire of Call of Duty-loving console players, anti-war-'em-up This War of Mine: The Little Ones brings the civilian side of conflict to the PlayStation 4. 11 Bit Studios has created a heart-wrenching experience of a game, one that puts you in charge of a group of adults and children stuck in a...

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.

Review Risen 3: Titan Lords - Enhanced Edition (PS4)
Still rolling with it
Dug up from the last-gen graveyard, the PlayStation 4 version of Risen 3: Titan Lords shares one big similarity with the unnamed hero at the heart of its own story: everyone thought that they were both dead and buried. Unfortunately the similarities end there, as only one's been resurrected to sail the high seas, in a quest to...
News Mighty No. 9 Misfires, Delayed Until 2016
Not so mega, man

Gun to know
"They should really make a new Homefront game," said absolutely no one ever – but it's bloody happening anyway.

Deep Silver, who...
Rumour Mighty No. 9 May Say Nein to 2015 Release

The publication, which is owned by US outlet GameStop, understands that publisher Deep Silver and developer Comcept have indicated to retail partners that the title will not deploy until 2016,...
News Mighty No. 9 Doesn't Look Much Better When Played Fast
Beck to front
The gameplay loop in Mighty No. 9 seems like it could be pretty alright, but we don't think that developer Inti Creates could have picked a blander art style for the Kickstarted release. This video shows a speed run of the opening level, and we love the boost to attack mechanic – but the whole thing has the appearance of a low budget...
News Yager Development Won't Be Working on Dead Island 2 Anymore
Get back in that grave
Dead Island 2 has seen its fair share of development troubles, but things are now coming to a temporary close, as publisher Deep Silver has announced that it's cutting ties with German developer Yager Development. No specific reasons were given, but it's easy to infer that the title's quality was a big problem. "With Dead...

News Metro Redux Shows a Thirst for the Apocalypse with Over 1.5 Million Copies Sold
Take that, mutants
A collection that contains remastered versions of both Metro: 2033 and Metro Last Light, Metro Redux is a pretty meaty package, and we'd argue one of the best shooters on the PlayStation 4. It's quite nice, then, that the post-apocalyptic romp has sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide. The news comes via Deep Silver, and,...
News Did Dying Light Scare Dead Island 2 Away?
It's a zombie eat zombie world
This is a strange one, isn't it? Techland, the developer behind the original Dead Island, went on to create the rather enjoyable Dying Light after departing from publisher Deep Silver. Meanwhile, the former's getting a sequel in the form of Dead Island 2, but as Videogamer.com cleverly points out, we haven't seen or...

News Oh Dear, The Uncensored Version of Saints Row IV: Re-Elected Is Being Recalled in Australia
Whoops
Who would ever deny the Saints of their fun, eh? Calling it a "serious manufacturing issue", an Australian agency has explained the recall of Saints Row IV: Re-Elected on the PlayStation 4, after it was discovered that the release was "incorrectly classified". As you may know, censorship policies in the land down under can be rather strict,...

Just when you thought that Saints Row couldn't get any more unpredictable, it goes and parodies Top Gear, complete with Jeremy Clarkson-like commentary and a faceless racer known as the Stag. The four minute live action video ties into the recently released Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell expansion, as the, er, Stag takes the Armchair-A-Geddon...
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 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...

Well, we didn't see that one coming.
