E3 2016 PlayStation VR Will Alter Your Reality from 13th October
Our body is VReady
The comments in our live chat last night suggested that many of you still aren't convinced by PlayStation VR, but Sony will be thinking that it can make this thing a success with Star Wars, Batman, and Final Fantasy games on the horizon. And it confirmed during its E3 2016 press conference that the peripheral will launch on 13th...
E3 2016 Sony's Making a New Sharp Shooter for PlayStation VR
Run and gun
This was a little buried among all of last night's mind blowing announcements: Sony's making a new Sharp Shooter for PlayStation VR named the PS VR Aim Controller. For those unfamiliar with the original on the PlayStation 3, it basically acted as a docking station for the PlayStation Move, but included some nifty features like a...

And it’ll be here soon
E3 is usually a pretty huge event when it comes to showing off new games. But it's also a big day for telling people when they'll be able to get their hands on games, too. For instance, this year's E3 saw an absolute monster load of titles get release dates. Not everything was AAA, though. While Sony was busy knocking its...
Reaction Sony Saves E3 2016 with Super Strong PS4 Exclusives
All killer, no filler
Once upon a time, we used to moan about Sony's inability to pace E3 pressers. We think that the platform holder got the message, because its classy theatre-based conference this evening barely stopped to breathe. The platform holder showed several extraordinary looking releases in a short but sweet show that dazzled from start...
E3 2016 PS4 Exclusive Dreams Sleeping on This Year's Show
Zzz
Media Molecule's upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive was absent at this year's Sony E3 2016 press conference, and that's because Media Molecule's still busy beavering away on the game back in the UK.

E3 2016 Gravity Rush 2's New PS4 Trailer Will Make You Purr
Kat attack
It wasn't part of the press conference, but Gravity Rush 2's all-new PlayStation 4 trailer will still make you meow.

Looks freakin' rad to us, and probably should have been part of...

Crash Bandicoot will return in 2017, Sony has confirmed.

We're not sure how you remaster a bunch of PSone games, but we're reasonably excited to replay those gems all the...

Well, we can say that this dream has been, er, sort of realized. Our favorite marsupial will be gracing the PlayStation 4, but will do so in a...

There were whispers online recently of the ever-imaginative developer being responsible for the new web-slinging...

Neo way
So there we have it, Xbox's rumoured Project Scorpio is real – or it exists as a concept at least.

Format face-off
That's the Microsoft E3 2016 briefing done and dusted, then, where the showing centred on games such as Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3, and ReCore.

Nothing. There's just nothing. This time last year we'd stumbled upon a domain name for Horizon: Zero Dawn, newspaper The Guardian was running a story on – ahem – The Last Guardian, and there were other bits and bobs flying around. But this year, the Sony camp is on serious lockdown. There's just nothing leaking at all. To be...
Reaction Sony Was Right to Reveal PS4K Prior to E3 2016
Now we can look forward to the show
The big question on Push Square's lips this week was whether Sony would reveal PlayStation 4K at E3 2016.
