Round Up Titanfall 2 PS4 Reviews Fall from the Sky
EA we go again
Another week, another critically acclaimed first-person shooter from EA. Titanfall 2 will finally mech a mess of the PlayStation 4 this week – not that anyone cares what with it being sandwiched between Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Apparently it's really good, though. Honest. We'll confirm when we actually,...
News Titanfall 2 Runs Better and Looks Better on PS4 Pro
Titan-cool
Respawn Entertainment didn't get a whole lot of time with the PlayStation 4 Pro, but it's still managed to ensure that Titanfall 2 takes advantage of the new hardware. Speaking with Stevivor, executive producer Drew McCoy revealed that the game – launching two weeks before the brand new box – will utilise the added horsepower of the...
Over the top
As one of the deadliest conflicts in human history, World War I had a massive impact on the twentieth century. Not only did both sides suffer an absolutely horrific number of casualties, but the geo-political upheaval it caused planted seeds of division that would resonate throughout the century to come. With the "bad guys" of the...
News This Battlefield 1 PS4 Controller's Pretty Rad
Post-traumatic DualShock
Vulpe Andrei is a console modding maniac, and to celebrate the release of Battlefield 1 this week, he just couldn't resist reconstructing his DualShock 4 with a World War I theme. The appliance architect has taken Sony's handset, and furnished it with studs, metal, and rusted buttons. It doesn't look massively comfortable to...
News Titanfall 2's Campaign Is All About Bromance Between Man and 'Bot
Best buds
Jack Cooper is Titanfall 2's lead character, and from where we're sitting, he's just about as generic as protagonists come. Voiced by Troy Baker and sporting rough yet stylish facial hair, let's just say that we don't think he'll be remembered as an iconic video game hero. That said, he does have one reasonably unique attribute in that...
News Star Wars Battlefront Ultimate Edition Arrives from a Galaxy Far, Far Away
Bundles in all DLC

News Has Mass Effect Andromeda's PS4 Release Date Fallen into Focus?
Geth a load of this
Mass Effect Andromeda is never coming out – at this juncture, we're convinced that BioWare employees are merely going to continue tweeting about how amazing it is until the end of time. Still, we suppose the title did put in an appearance during Sony's big PlayStation 4 Pro press conference, and there's also N7 Day [Grumble –...
News Battlefield 1 Goes Michael Bay in PS4 Story Trailer
War never changes
Hmmm, we're not sure what to think of Battlefield 1's story trailer. We suppose on the one hand the presentation is spectacular – from the visuals to the voice acting and the orchestral audio – but on the other it's all a bit, well… Cringe, isn't it? Maybe it's us, but it feels like a trailer for a movie that came out in the...
Weirdness Hilarious Battlefield 1 Parody Trailer Features Brilliant Beta Glitches
War is hell
You know us here at Push Square - we don't like to post daft YouTube videos too often, but with this particular Battlefield 1 parody, we had no choice. Crafted by 'Tuber CrowbCat, the clip features tons of highly entertaining glitches that were found in the shooter's alpha and beta tests. The video splices the bugs together into one...

Battlefield 4's been on sale for some stupidly low prices on the PlayStation Store lately, and if you want to really take advantage of the title's deep discounts, then you'll probably want to nab all of its DLC for free. EA has made all five (!) of the outing's expansions complimentary on the PlayStation 4...
News Mass Effect: Andromeda Male and Female Protagonists Are Siblings
Bonds of blood
An intriguing little detail emerging from the PlayStation Meeting, it turns out that Mass Effect: Andromeda's main character, Ryder, will have a brother or sister depending on whether you decide to play as a male or female protagonist. In other words, both Ryders will exist within the game. Speaking to PlayStation Access, BioWare...
News Mass Effect: Andromeda Gameplay Is Finally Here, Running on PS4 Pro

This trailer is the first time that we've seen real, near-finished gameplay of the 2017 title, and it's looking...

The video that we've embedded above consists of almost one hour's worth of beta gameplay, complete with brutal...

News People Hate Titanfall 2 So Much That the Dev's Had to Respond
Titan maul
We thought Titanfall 2 was really fun when we tried the Technical Test last weekend, but it's left some fans outraged. Chief among the complaints is the sequel's slower movement speed compared to the original, which Respawn Entertainment claims is designed to prompt more skilful firefights. It has, however, bowed to feedback, and says...

Mech fest
Titanfall 2's technical test launched on the PlayStation 4 this weekend, marking the first time that Respawn Entertainment's first-person shooter has been playable on a Sony system.

Gamescom 2016 FIFA 17 Repurposes Song 2 for Gameplay Trailer
Woohoo?
The last time Song 2 was in a FIFA game, David Beckham was on the cover and indoor matches were the main appeal. The franchise has come a long way since then, but that doesn't stop this FIFA 17 remix from being unfettered garbage. Just use the original track if you must – it's not a bad trailer by any stretch, but the audio's making us...
Live Watch EA's Gamescom 2016 Press Conference Right Here
Battlefield 1! Titanfall 2! Mass Effect Andromeda?
It threatens to be a much quieter Gamescom without Sony taking to the stage, but EA is holding a press conference, and we're sure that it will have a title or two worth showing. Battlefield 1, Titanfall 2, and FIFA 17 are all likely to feature heavily during its briefing, with the action getting...

Gamescom 2016 Battlefield 1's New PS4 Trailer Looks Unbelievable
Off the rails
We're still not sure we believe the validity of Battlefield 1's obligatory 'In-Game Footage' disclaimer, but if the final game comes anything close to this on the PlayStation 4 – or, indeed, the Neo – then it may end up being the best looking title ever made. Just look at this: we see combat in a desert, with horses, jeeps, and...
News Star Wars Battlefront's Final DLC Will Be Rogue One Themed
We shall fight on the beaches
Star Wars Battlefront's final expansion pack – due this Holiday after the upcoming Death Star add-on – will be based upon the forthcoming Rogue One movie.

News Amy Hennig's Star Wars Game Sounds a Lot Like Uncharted
Surprise
Amy Hennig played a huge role in the success of the Uncharted series, so it's no real surprise to learn that the Star Wars game which she's working on with Dead Space developer Visceral sounds a lot like Nate Drake's escapades. In fact, speaking during a panel at Star Wars Celebration, the creative director admitted that her approach to the...
News Star Wars Battlefront Feels the Force with Offline Mode on PS4
Entering hyperdrive next week
Remember when Star Wars Battlefront was considered a hotly anticipated game? Yeah, us neither – but it's still somewhat popular we suppose. And credit to developer DICE, it's been supporting the first-person shooter intensely since launch, with a new Skirmish mode set to be added for free starting 20th July. This...
News PS4 Shooter Battlefield 1 to Launch with 10 Maps
Multiplayer modes and more leaked
Battlefield 1's pre-release beta has been data-mined by people with too much time on their hands, so EA and DICE's marketing plans are now more or less in tatters. This isn't any old leak: practically every detail about the first-person shooter has been posted on Reddit, from its list of weapons right the way...
News BioWare Explains Why it Went for a Female Main Character in Mass Effect: Andromeda's E3 Trailer
"We're embracing character creation"
You've seen the Mass Effect: Andromeda E3 2016 trailer by now, right? If so, then you may or may not know that around the 1:30 mark, we get our first real glimpse of the game's customisable main character, Ryder. Much like Commander Shepard, Ryder can be male or female depending on your preference, but unlike...
News Criterion's Teased Racing Game Has Been Cancelled
Project burnt out after two years of silence
Back at E3 2014, Burnout creators Criterion Games showed some early footage of its multi-vehicle racer, showing players switching mid-race between ATVs, wingsuits, planes, helicopters, jet-skis, and other vehicles, exciting many people. However, it seems that, after two years of uncertainty on the...
News Mass Effect: Andromeda Development Is 'Healthy' Says BioWare
Studio explains why the game mostly skipped E3
We were bitterly disappointed by the distinct lack of Mass Effect: Andromeda gameplay at this year's E3, especially since the game has been missing in action for roughly three years now while BioWare employees still insist on hyping the project to extreme degrees on social media. Our frustration aside,...
Feature All the E3 2016 Press Conferences Rated and Reviewed
Hot or not?
The doors of the Los Angeles Convention Center are just creaking open, which means that E3 2016 is about to get into full-swing – but before we turn our attention to all of the news coming from the show floor, we figured that it would be fun to look back at the past couple of days of pressers, and rate them. Electronic Arts:
E3 2016 Did You Want Space Battles? Star Wars Battlefront VR Has Space Battles
Well, kind of
We were among the disappointed fans when we found out that DICE's Star Wars Battlefront wouldn't have dogfights between X-Wings and TIE Fighters among the stars while taking down Star Destroyers and Corellian Corvettes. It's a high-flying fantasy for sure, and it looks like the developer has responded to the reception with a light...
E3 2016 All of Titanfall 2's Map DLC Will Be Free on PS4
New modes will be complimentary, too
Titanfall 2 may well be the highlight of E3 2016 so far – and just to sweeten the pot, Respawn Entertainment has announced that all future map and mode DLC will be free for the PlayStation 4 first-person shooter. It makes sense, of course, as the alternative only serves to split the player base, which is never...
E3 2016 Battlefield 1 Really Does Look Quite Extraordinary
The great war
Wow! This just looks… Phenomenal, doesn't it? Gameplay footage of Battlefield 1 is appearing all over the place, and while this mostly just focuses on the assault class without any real vehicle gameplay, we figured that it was worth sharing because it gives a good overview of the large-scale battles that you can expect to find in the...
Reaction E3 2016's Off to a Very Disappointing Start
EA and Bethesda fall flat
The doors of the Los Angeles Convention Center are yet to open, but the press conferences always mark the start of E3 anyway. It's a shame, then, that Sunday's round of presentations fell flat – with both EA Games and Bethesda struggling to string together any meaningful reveals. Both pressers re
E3 2016 Your First Look at Amy Hennig's Star Wars Game Can Be Compressed into a GIF
Sith sense
EA Games practically had nothing to show during its press conference last night, but it did manage to roll off a second or two of ex-Uncharted creative director Amy Hennig's upcoming Star Wars title. In development at Dead Space developer Visceral, this one's not due out until 2018, but as expected – it all looks Naughty Dog-esque...

Round Up What Did EA Announce At Its E3 2016 Press Conference?
EAsy peasy
It's safe to say that the reaction to EA's press conference hasn't been all too positive, but the publisher still managed to cough up several trailers and throw out a few announcements. Highlights included a rather impressive look at Battlefield 1 and a slightly better glimpse of Mass Effect: Andromeda - although we'd advise you to temper...

A behind-the-scenes video was shown off by EA during its E3 2016 conference about its Star Wars games.

A brief glimpse of...
E3 2016 Battlefield 1's Gorgeous PS4 Gameplay Trailer Will Blow Your Mind
World War Wow
EA's press conference today was about as exciting as an appointment with the dentist, but at least Battlefield 1 ended the show on a high note. The title's latest "gameplay trailer" – which we don't 100 per cent believe is representative of the experience that you'll get on a PlayStation 4 – is extraordinary, bringing a Michael Bay...
E3 2016 EA Debuts Titanfall 2 PS4 Multiplayer With New Trailer
Advanced warfare
Following the leak of Titanfall 2's single player trailer earlier today, EA gave us our first glimpse of the sci-fi shooter's multiplayer mode. Check it out below. It looks fast-paced and frenetic, which should come as no surprise to anyone who's played the original game. The verticality and free-running gameplay appears to have...

Let's play some football
EA has shown off a brand new gameplay trailer for Madden NFL 17 using entirely in-game footage at its EA Play press conference.
