News E3 2017's Game Critics Awards Miss Some Heavy Hitters
Best of the rest
The nominees for the E3 2017 Game Critics Awards are in – and they’re missing a significant number of games. So the thing here is that the media had to be able to play at least five minutes of a title for it to be eligible, meaning that the likes of God of War, Spider-Man, Monster Hunter: World, Shadow of the Colossus, and...

Pick of the bunch
E3 2017 was over a week ago, and we’ve all had time to calm down and reflect on the show.

News Why Didn't Sony Show Any Indie Games at E3 2017?
Just a change in focus
Well, the Internet has its pitchforks ready, and it really wants to give PlayStation Europe chief Jim Ryan a big fat poke in the chest – but of all the dumb things the executive’s said recently, this isn’t one of them. Asked by Games Industry.biz about the lack of indie games during Sony’s E3 2017 press conference, the...

And is as revolutionary as promised

News Spider-Man Seemingly Launching in First Half of 2018
God of War and Shadow of the Colossus, too
We’ve told you time and time again that Sony’s moving away from the holidays for tentpole exclusive releases, but even after the dizzying first-party PlayStation 4 lineup in the first half of this year, still people doubt the tactic. Well, it looks like it’s going to be repeating it in 2018, because...
E3 2017 See More Uncharted: The Lost Legacy on 20th June
Indian adventure
Naughty Dog will be debuting Uncharted: The Lost Legacy’s full-length E3 2017 demo on Twitch starting 10AM PT on 20th June. “Tune in to hear from creative director Shaun Escayg and game director Kurt Margenau as they share more details about the game and answer viewer questions,” the developer said.

E3 2017 Metal Gear Survive Still Exists, Launches Next Year
Snake in the grass
Metal Gear Survive – the weird zombie-based co-op spin-off that’s landed Hideo Kojima in hot water with Konami once again – will release in 2018. The game – which we hadn’t even realised was at the convention – was originally scheduled for release this year, but has been “pushed back a few months” for polish...
E3 2017 Which Games Won the Battle for YouTube Views?
A new metric enters the fray
YouTube’s released some data regarding E3 2017, detailing which titles generated the most buzz on the website. This accounts for official uploads, gameplay, fan reactions, and more, so can be considered a reasonable gauge of which titles proved the most popular. However, it only tracks between 9th June and 14th June,...

You know how it goes
Pata-pata-pata-pon! Pata-pata-pata-pon! Pon-pon-pata-pon! Pata-pata-pata-pon!

E3 2017 This Is How The Crew 2's Motorsport Triathlons Work
One way or another
One of the more bemusing announcements of E3 2017: The Crew 2 has boats now – and planes. As strong believers that Jet Moto deserves a reboot, this actually interests us – but how the feck does it all work? Simple, really – it adopts a triathlon format, flinging you from one discipline to the next in an attempt to hold...
News Sony: We Believe in Europe, And Won't Let Anyone Take PS4's Territory
Jim Ryan on solidifying Sony's fortress
It sometimes gets lost in the predominantly United States-based gaming media just how dominant Sony is in Europe. For example, when the Xbox 360 was at its peak, the Japanese giant was actually clipping at its heels with the PlayStation 3, and that was partly led by the performance of the platform across...
Feature E3 2017 Game of the Show - Spider-Man
Our spider-sense is tingling
He came, he saw, he conquered – and then swung through New York City clutching Push Square’s coveted E3 2017 Game of the Show award close to his chest. Spider-Man comfortably thwipped this year’s gong from the clutches of ex-Greek God Kratos, securing almost double the votes of its closest competitor in our poll...
E3 2017 Non-VR SUPERHOT Is Also Coming to PS4
Double dose
SUPERHOT VR was announced for PlayStation VR this week, which is all very exciting for owners of the virtual reality headset – but what of its television-based brethren? Well, the good news is that both versions of the title will arrive on Sony’s system in a “few short weeks”. The wording on the PlayStation B
E3 2017 LocoRoco 2 Remastered Rolls to PS4
Tilt time
This is one of those E3 2017 stories that slipped through the cracks. Sony’s announced that, following the successful launch of LocoRoco Remastered, its tilting the title’s sequel in the direction of the PlayStation 4. There’s no word on a release date at the time of writing. Nevertheless, we thought the platform holder did a...
News Sony's Ready to Sell You a PS4 Pro at Long Last
Platform holder drops neat new ad
Have you noticed how Sony’s actually started talking about the PlayStation 4 Pro like it’s not embarrassed about it anymore? Last year’s reveal event was weird, where the platform holder almost played down the very real advantages of the platform – and it hasn’t really said a whole lot about it in the...
News Well, May As Well Get the E3 2018 Tag Started, Right?
Next year's show dated
The industry’s barely had time to put a full-stop on E3 2017, but already it’s time to turn our attention to E3 2018. Good god! Anyway, the Entertainment Software Association – the group responsible for organising the annual show – has confirmed that next year’s event will take place between 12th June and 14th June,...
Feature Top 10 Things We Learned About PS4 at E3 2017
All the headlines
E3 2017 is over, but the post-mortem will trundle on for a few more weeks yet. We thought it’d be interesting to look back at the ten stories that defined the show during the past seven or so days, and present you with the top ten things that we learned about PS4 over the course of the convention. Let’s dig right into it...

Not exactly a bumper year
E3 2017 has come to a conclusion, which means that it’s time for us to look back on all of the big media briefings and dish out our all-important report card. Which publisher passed its summer exam – and which will be sitting a re-test before term starts again? Here are our grades for the four big PlayStation press...
Poll What Did You Think of E3 2017?
The final say
And just like that, E3 2017 is over. The annual Los Angeles expo is a funny thing - especially from the perspective of those who watch it unfold from home. Here at Push Square, we spend weeks anticipating it, then we spend hours upon hours planning for it. Then when it finally rolls around, we destroy our sleeping patterns so...
E3 2017 Sony Considering Gamescom 2017 Press Conference
Platform holder pondering European show
Sony’s always been a big presence on the Gamescom showfloor, but it opted not to hold a German press conference in 2015 due to scheduling issues and again in 2016 as it placed increased focus on E3 and PlayStation Experience. But now PlayStation Europe chief Jim Ryan has hinted that it may hold a European...
E3 2017 Spider-Man Will Have Alternate Outfits on PS4
Thwip
This is probably the most obvious announcement of E3 2017, but Spider-Man will be able to unlock different outfits in the new PlayStation 4 game. Insomniac Games hasn’t detailed exactly how you’ll get these – it’s probably safe to suggest that at least one will be available as a pre-order bonus – or what design they’ll adopt. We...
E3 2017 Tiny Trax Looks Like a Ton of Fun in PlayStation VR
Round the bend
Sometimes the simplest ideas for PlayStation VR are the best ones, and Tiny Trax really looks like a smart implementation of the technology. The game essentially builds a slot car track around you, so you need to follow your car by physically looking around the track, but as developer FuturLab points out, it’s not going to cause...
E3 2017 Ni no Kuni II Has Multiplayer, Director Confirms
A helping hand
Wow, this comes as a bit of a surprise. According to general director Hino Akihiro, Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom will have some form of multiplayer. In an official Bandai Namco interview video, several fan questions are put before Akihiro, and one of them asks whether there'll be any kind of multiplayer component. "Yes, there...
E3 2017 Final Fantasy XV's New DLC Is Like a Different Game
Yes, it's a third-person shooter
What the—? Well, we suppose nothing about Final Fantasy XV should surprise us anymore, but even after earlier reports suggested as much, this first trailer for Episode Prompto has caught us by surprise. It looks like the kind of corridor third-person shooter that you’d find on the PlayStation 2 – but in the...
E3 2017 Sony's Listening to Your Requests for PS4 Remakes
Build the list
Sony may not be a huge fan of backwards compatibility – or is that just Jim Ryan, mayhaps? – but it seems to be going all in on PlayStation 4 remakes and remasters. The past few months alone have plotted the release of PaRappa the Rapper and LocoRoco, and both Patapon and Shadow of the Colossus are still to come. And speaking on
Reaction Curtain Closes on Ill-Tempered E3 2017
Forgettable show has been feisty
Well, this one won’t live long in the memory, will it? E3 2017 has been fine, but it’s been far from vintage, and we’re struggling to think of any one announcement or theme that we’ll remember in the days to come – yet alone years. In fact, if there’s any one defining feature that’s really stood out,...

Positive comments from E3
Don't you just love it when you're casually catching up on E3 videos and stumble across a gem of a quote from an industry figure? We sure do, and this one comes from Quantic Dream co-CEO Guillaume de Fondaumiere. When asked by Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida when Detroit: Become Human is coming out, the smartly...
E3 2017 Days Gone Is a Deadly, Dynamic Open World Game
Play your way
One thing you may not know about Days Gone is that it’s massively dynamic. This week’s E3 2017 demo may have looked scripted, but the game actually alters and adapts depending on the conditions in the open world. Sony Bend is showing off an “alternate” playthrough behind closed doors to demonstrate this, but it popped up on the...
E3 2017 Dream Big with Call of Cthulhu's Latest PS4 Trailer
A new reality
Call of Cthulhu, the action role-playing game inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s supernatural stories, has received a new trailer at E3 2017 – though it’s not the gameplay trailer you may have been hoping for. Instead the cinematic piece introduces us to Private Investigator Edward Pierce, whose perception of reality is being...
E3 2017 Take Off with 10 Minutes of Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown
Fly away
Is this our first, unedited look at Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown? We reckon it is. Hot off the E3 2017 show floor, this gameplay shows off some impressive presentational improvements, including the canopy freezing at high altitude and the volumetric clouds. More importantly, though, the gameplay looks rock solid and the soundtrack is killer.

E3 2017 Spider-Man PS4's Open World Map Sounds Pretty Bloody Big
Insomniac gives an estimate
How big is Spider-Man PS4's map? Being an open world title, people are naturally interested in how large Spidey's playground will be, and developer Insomniac has provided a decent enough answer. gamesradar reports that community director James Stevenson reckons the map is "probably four to six times that of Sunset...
E3 2017 Spider-Man PS4 Is Not an Origin Story, Peter Parker Is 23 in the Game
He's been Spidey for eight years
There's been some speculation over Insomniac's Spider-Man regarding the age of Peter Parker. Does it take place when Peter is only just learning about his powers, or does it focus on a more experienced Spidey? According to PlayStation Access, the latter is correct. Peter's 23 years old in the game, and he's been...

E3 2017 What the Hell Is Going on with Sucker Punch?
Yoshida updates us on inFAMOUS dev
We would have bet our life savings on Sucker Punch announcing its new game at E3 2017 – and we would have lost the lot. Despite being out of action for almost three years, the Seattle-based studio still has nothing to say about its new game, widely believed to be a brand new intellectual property for the...
News Sony: We Didn't Date Our PS4 Games on Purpose
Platform holder doesn't want to disappoint
You can’t delay a game that’s never been dated, right? Many were disappointed by the lack of hard release dates at Sony’s E3 2017 press conference this week, but the platform holder’s admitted that it took this approach on purpose, in order to avoid the disappointment that follows when titles are...
E3 2017 Shuhei Yoshida's Probably Going to Be in Everybody's Golf
Hole in one
Did you notice Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida in the new Everybody’s Golf trailer that was released this week? The affable executive was created by Clap Hanz in order to demonstrate the power of the PlayStation 4 title’s character editor, but now he’s admitted that he “could” end up in the full game as well. C’mon...
E3 2017 Dragon Ball FighterZ Looks Like Guilty Gear Meets Marvel vs. Capcom
Bamco releases two gameplay videos
So, we've already established that we think Dragon Ball FighterZ looks rather bloody good, but how does it play? After carefully watching these two new gameplay videos that Bandai Namco has released, we reckon it looks a lot like Guilty Gear and Marvel vs. Capcom had a baby. Developer Arc System Works is the...
Talking Point Is PSX Now More Important to Sony Than E3?
Priorities may be shifting
Here’s a question worth pondering: is Sony’s own PlayStation Experience now more important to the platform holder than E3?

E3 2017 The Persistence Brings Brilliant Procedurally Generated Horror to PlayStation VR
Dead space
Sci-fi horror hasn’t really had a champion on consoles since Dead Space, but The Persistence looks like a worthy addition to the genre. A procedurally generated title for PlayStation VR, the title sees you whisked away to a far-flung corner of the galaxy, where a black hole investigation has gone horribly awry. You’ll play as a...
E3 2017 Virtual Reality Sport Sparc Coming to PS4

PCgamesn is reporting that the first pack will contain new enemy types and is set to release "very soon", with later DLC even packing in...
E3 2017 Dragon Ball FighterZ Is Aiming for Hardcore Fighting Game Fans
As well as fans of the series
Bandai Namco's pumped out some great anime-based fighting games over the years. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 is still one of our favourites, and more recently, the likes of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 and Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 have really stood out. However, none of these titles ever managed to...
E3 2017 Sony Actually Went and Made Knack Good
Pinch yourself
Knack is the butt of all PlayStation jokes, but its sequel looks surprisingly excellent. The game’s director – and PlayStation 4 architect – Mark Cerny has talked at length about how his team at Japan Studio took feedback from the original on board, and while we don’t expect Knack 2 to be winning any awards, it looks like a...
E3 2017 Want Crash Team Racing? Buy N. Sane Trilogy
Va va voom
This is our favourite sales pitch: if you want Game X then you must buy Game Y. It’s a teensy bit shady, but the fact is that it holds water: publishers are much more likely to fund games if there’s tangible proof that a market exists, so when Vicarious Visions suggests that Crash Team Racing could come to the PlayStation 4 if the
E3 2017 Shadow of the Colossus Is a PS4 Remake, Not a Remaster
A classic reborn
After some confusion, Sony has now confirmed that Shadow of the Colossus is being remade for the PlayStation 4 – and not remastered. Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida confirmed the tidbit in an interview with Famitsu magazine, as translated by Siliconera: “It is a remake,” he said. “The game content is the same as...
E3 2017 Insomniac's Programmed Spider-Man So You Can't Kill
Thwip
Spider-Man’s a good guy, and he traditionally doesn’t take lives. You may have noticed in this week’s E3 2017 trailer how the hero made extra effort to scoop up debris and avoided endangering the public. But what about when you’re released into the open world to do what you want? Or when you’re fighting bad guys on a rooftop and kick...
E3 2017 Sony's Commitment to Budget Releases Continues
Knack for it
Last year, Sony had massive success with the release of Ratchet & Clank. The game was, of course, excellent to begin with – but its huge success was aided by a lower than usual $39.99 price point. And it’s a strategy that the platform holder looks set to continue as it pushes the PlayStation 4 outside of its hardcore demographic...
E3 2017 13 Sentinels Looks Stupidly Pretty, But Its New Trailer Doesn't Tell Us Much
Unlucky for some
Vanillaware's gorgeous new game, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, has received a shiny new E3 2017 trailer - but the problem is that even after watching it, we still don't know much at all about the game. Well, we know it's visually incredible, but we've already mentioned that. So, a teaser trailer for a title that was announced back in...
E3 2017 Peter Parker Will Play an Integral Role in Spider-Man PS4
Great responsibility
The new Spider-Man game is called Spider-Man because, well, it’s about Spider-Man – but what about the dude behind the spandex suit? Peter Parker, it appears, will play in an integral role in Insomniac Games’ new title, coming to the PlayStation 4. “It can’t just be Spider-Man 100 per cent of the time,” creative...
E3 2017 Monster Hunter: World Was Conceived Four Years Ago
Dino-kay
Prior to the announcement of Monster Hunter: World, many were expecting a shoddy spin-off designed for the Western audience. It’s becoming increasingly apparent, however, that this is a proper entry in the dinosaur slaying series, with key creative from past instalments all involved. And interviews published by Dengeki Online have now...
E3 2017 We Just Got a Little More Hyped for ANTHEM
Mass Effect 1 and 2 lead writer is working on it
We just got a bit more hyped for ANTHEM - the gritty sci-fi third person shooter that was revealed at EA's showcase. Why? Well, it turns out that Drew Karpyshyn's working on it. Karpyshyn was lead writer on both Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, and he also wrote the Mass Effect expanded universe novels...

E3 2017 Shadow of the Colossus Being Rebuilt for PS4
Agro! AGRO!
Is it a remaster or a remake? We’re still not entirely sure, but having watched the trailer about a dozen times now, we reckon Shadow of the Colossus probably falls into the latter camp. There’s been some confusion over these two terms of late, hasn’t there? Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is billed as a remaster, but in essence...
E3 2017 No Plans to Drop PS4 Pro's Price, Says Sony
Platform holder's happy with performance
Sony’s mid-gen console the PlayStation 4 Pro is already $100 cheaper than Microsoft’s newly announced Xbox One X, and the Japanese giant has admitted that it has no plans to change the price of the platform any time soon. “Do you think it’s too expensive?” Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida...
Soapbox Publishers Can't Bloody Win When It Comes to E3
Ramsey's sick of the hypocrites
I write about video games for a living, so I'm used to seeing people overreact on the internet. I've grown accustomed to seeing people spew hilarious hyperbole on a regular basis - hell, I've done it myself - but there's something about E3 that rubs me the wrong way. Namely, the annual Los Angeles event brings out...
E3 2017 Horizon's Frozen Wilds Will Alter the Existing Open World
There'll also be new machines and weapons
Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida has hinted that we can expect Horizon: Zero Dawn’s first expansion – named The Frozen Wilds – to alter the state of the existing open world: “I understand there are some things happening in the original world as well,” he said. “[There's] a new area...
News Sony: We Held PS4 Exclusives Back from E3 2017

And speaking with website Jagat Review, Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida has reassured fans...
E3 2017 We're Not Entirely Sure What It Is, But Beyond Good & Evil 2 Is Coming to PS4
We think so, anyway
Beyond Good & Evil 2 could have been E3 2017’s Game of the Show based on its reveal trailer alone, but everything outside of that has been a little bit murky, hasn’t it? Ubisoft Montpellier’s long-awaited sequel hasn’t exactly been detailed in the most effective manner, with talk of a “seamless open world” and...
E3 2017 Rats! A Plague Tale: Innocence Scuttles to PS4
Someone call the Pied Piper
This sounds wonderful on paper, it’s just a shame Focus Home Interactive doesn’t have more than a teaser trailer to show yet. A Plague Tale: Innocence is set in 1349, as a great plague ravages France. You’ll play as a boy and a girl named Hugo and Amicia, as you attempt to outrun the Inquisition and a swarm of...
E3 2017 Check Out 11 Explosive Minutes of Matterfall Gameplay
Looks like a blast
Matterfall was given a very brief spotlight during Sony's pre-conference E3 show. The gameplay trailer shown off gave us a glimpse of what to expect from Housemarque's latest, but it perhaps didn't get across the structure of the game itself. In the video above, however, IGN speaks with associate producer Jari Hokkanen while...
E3 2017 Final Fantasy XV's Prompto DLC Looks a Lot Like a Third Person Shooter
Bang bang
Final Fantasy XV: Episode Prompto doesn't have a big official gameplay trailer or anything just yet, but what it does have is the video that we've embedded above. It's an interview with guest composer Naoshi Mizuta, who's responsible for the soundtrack of the upcoming add-on. Brief gameplay clips are spread throughout, and to...

Did you beat E3?
All of E3 2017's press conferences are done and dusted, which can only mean one thing: we need to see whether the Push Square community correctly predicted what would happen during the Los Angeles event. Last week, before everything began, we launched our third annual E3 quiz. Consisting of 30 different yes or no questions,...
E3 2017 No Heroes Allowed! VR Brings Back Badman
Heroes must die
There were approximately 10,000 No Heroes Allowed! games on the PlayStation Portable that we’re not sure anyone played, but now the series is making the jump to PlayStation VR. Originally announced at the Tokyo Game Show last year, No Heroes Allowed! VR is a kind of tabletop tower defence type game, where your objective is to...

Ballet storm
The game that many PlayStation VR owners have been waiting for, Superhot VR, will finally release on Sony’s headset this summer.

It’s hard to...
E3 2017 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR Won't Be Cheap
But it is the entire game
Perhaps one of the biggest shocks during Sony’s E3 2017 press conference is that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is coming to PlayStation VR later this year. Considering that games don’t get much bigger than Bethesda’s bulky role-playing release, this should prove positive for those who’ve been waiting for some...
E3 2017 Where the Hell Is Media Molecule's Dreams?
Development nightmare?
Hey, do you remember Dreams? The ambitious Media Molecule developed creation engine was everywhere, until it wasn’t. In fact, it’s been a while since we heard or saw anything about the game; the Guildford-based developer’s been posting updates to its website and social media accounts, but it’s not like the title’s...
E3 2017 Sony Welcomes the Arrival of Xbox One X
Reckons it's good news for PS4 Pro
PlayStation Europe bigwig Jim Ryan may have fluffed his lines on cross-console play, but he’s done a much better job addressing Xbox chief Phil Spencer’s comments on the PlayStation 4 Pro. In case you missed it, the Redmond man claimed yesterday that the PS4 Pro wasn’t in competition with the new Xbox One X...
E3 2017 Wolfenstein II's Story Is Going Bigger and Better for Sequel
Oh, and there will likely be a Wolfenstein III
If DOOM and Titanfall 2 were signs of the first-person shooter genre's revitalization last year, then 2014's Wolfenstein: The New Order was the forerunner of this unexpected movement. With an impossibly ridiculous yet serious story that rivals the Metal Gear Solid series' tone and impeccable...
E3 2017 The Evil Within 2 Story and Gameplay Details Emerge
We don't Kidman
The Evil Within was incredibly bonkers and unpredictable, but it's these attributes that made it the bizarre, tense horror game that we loved. With appropriately scarce resources, deliberately hampered movement, and terrifying enemies, we've been hoping that Shinji Mikami wouldn't cave and turn the sequel into something like the...
E3 2017 The Lost Legacy Looks Like More Uncharted, Alright
House of Frazer
It would take a cold heart to turn down more Uncharted, and if you’ve been itching for another dose of grandiose adventure then The Lost Legacy should meet your needs when it releases on the PlayStation 4 later this year. Sony showed off several minutes of gameplay as part of its PlayStation Live stream earlier today, and there’s...

Starring Max
Hmm, not sure how to feel about this one: Square Enix is flogging a Deluxe Edition of prequel Life Is Strange: Before the Storm which will include a bonus episode starring Max. Set to release after the third and final instalment in the forthcoming series, developer Deck Nine stresses that this is just a “farewell” episode for fans...
