News Shawn Layden Thinks Sony's PSX 2015 Presser Ended with a 'Drop the Mic' Moment
He's talking about that Paragon trailer
Maybe Sony Computer Entertainment America's CEO Shawn Layden has a different perception of the phrase 'drop the mic', because we're pretty sure that Sony failed to do so at its recent PlayStation Experience 2015 press conference. For those who missed it, the Japanese company closed its keynote with a CG...

Push Rewind Your Ultimate PlayStation Experience 2015 Recap
And the rest of the week that was
Well, that was a pretty intensive week. Not only did we stay up late for The Game Awards 2015, but this weekend also brought PlayStation Experience 2015 – and about a trillion PlayStation 4 and Vita announcements with it. Because it's been such an action packed week we've decided to do Push Rewind a little...
PSX 2015 Every PS4, Vita Press Conference Reveal That We Missed
(^_^;)
This happens at practically every PlayStation press conference, but we'll tell you what: you only realise how much Sony actually stuffs into these shows when you have to write about it all. We're over 24 hours removed from yesterday's PlayStation Experience 2015 keynote, and while we've written a ridiculous number of stories over the past day...
PSX 2015 Demolish Your Way to Par in 100ft Robot Golf on PS4
Bogey bot
Probably the best WTF announcement at Sony's big PlayStation Experience 2015 keynote belonged to 100ft Robot Golf, a PlayStation VR game that's due out on the PlayStation 4 next year. The game – as its name indicates – will see you piloting a mech in real-time, which you'll be able to use to destroy obstacles as your pursuit for that...
PSX 2015 Battleborn Bunkers Down with New Trailer
Battle-yawn! Right?
Gearbox Software may be building a brand new IP in Battleborn, but it's nice to know that it still thinks that screaming characters are teh funnies.

Free fallin'
Regular readers will know that Gravity Rush is one of this author's favourite PlayStation Vita games, so unsurprisingly your humble host is gagging to get his hands on the remastered version for the PlayStation 4.

PSX 2015 Bound on PS4 Has Some Beautiful Animations
Bound to be good?
Remember the game with ballerinas that divided opinion earlier in the week? Well, we're going to post about it again, because it looks absolutely stunning.

PSX 2015 PlayStation Now Scores Specially Priced 12-Month Sub
Give it to me Now
Sony's clearly still struggling to find the right pricing model for PlayStation Now, but the platform holder evidently sees this as a long-term initiative, so that's fine.

PSX 2015 God of War Director Describes Game Development as Soul Crushing
Like trying to hurt kittens
Despite what we predicted, Sony Santa Monica didn't show its new God of War game at PlayStation Experience this weekend. While we know that the title is in development, the studio has remained schtum for another year, opting to keep the project a closely guarded secret. Cory Barlog, who previously worked on God of War II,...
PSX 2015 New Hot Shots Golf PS4 Trailer Is Fore the Players
Nice shot
Is there a band more fitting for a Clap Hanz game than Owl City? The twee electropop outfit have lent some sounds to the first English language New Hot Shots Golf trailer, which is identical to the Tokyo Game Show clip – albeit with a different title card. While the casual sporting action appears to be in place, we're still not sure...

PSX 2015 Final Fantasy VII Remake Will Not Be Completely Action-Based
Will maintain strategic element
The new trailer may have had its fair share of real-time combat, but Final Fantasy VII Remake won't be entirely action-based according to producer Yoshinori Kitase. Speaking as part of a new video on PlayStation's official YouTube channel, the veteran explained that while more active battle systems are the rage right...
PSX 2015 Sharpen Up with Two More Minutes of Uncharted 4
Dressed to impress
There's a reason that Naughty Dog are the best in the business, and it comes down to cutscenes like the one shown during PlayStation Experience earlier today. Simply put, the studio nails characterization, and while the Uncharted games are pulpy blockbusters, they still have some of the best written personalities in the entire...
PSX 2015 Sony Should Never Demo PlayStation VR on Stage Again
At least Rez saved things, right?
Well, someone was going to attempt it eventually, and there was a 33 per cent chance that it was going to be Sony.

Did the Japanese giant deliver?
Sony's only just getting started with its PlayStation Experience event, but the keynote is the clear highlight for those not in attendance at the show.

PSX 2015 Epic Games Switching Sides to Sony with Paragon
Shifting gears to MOBA
Epic Games was under Microsoft's rein with the Gears of War franchise for several years, but they've since been rather low key working on several projects such as the PC-exclusive survival game Fortnite. So it's interesting to see that they've partnered up with Sony to bring an exciting, third-person MOBA to PlayStation 4...
PSX 2015 Nioh on PS4 Looks Like Someone Mashed Bloodborne and Onimusha Together
But will it be as brutal?
Nioh caught our attention back in September at the Tokyo Game Show, and it's still looking pretty darn cool. An upcoming PlayStation 4 title from Team Ninja, the release got bloodied with a new trailer at the PlayStation Experience which confirms that it's coming West. We reckon, as the headline suggests, that it bears...

PSX 2015 Sparrows Cross the Finish Line in Destiny: The Taken King
Bumping Sparrows
It's been a long-held dream by all Guardians to be able to race against each other with their Sparrows.

PSX 2015 What's Up with Bit.Trip, Bastion, and Nuclear Throne on PS4, Vita?
Tripping on excitement
There was a deluge of indie games announced during the PlayStation Experience 2015 conference, so it's going to take Push Square Towers quite some time to sort out everything these small-time developers are bringing to Sony's machines. We'll start with Supergiant Games' Bastion, which was announced for the Vita quite some time...

And Yakuza 5 is out on PS3 next week
There were cheers in the Push Square office when Yakuza 0 was confirmed for a Western release at the PlayStation Experience.

PSX 2015 Shawn Layden Trolled Us All with Crash Bandicoot Shirt
Boo this man
Not like this, Shawn Layden! We were starting to really like SCEA's new president, but you absolutely can't walk on stage at a PlayStation press conference wearing a Crash Bandicoot t-shirt if you're not going to… Y'know, at least announce that the orange furred favourite is making a comeback. Our live chat was absolutely packed with...
