News No, Persona 5 Is Not Being Published By Sony in Europe
Bit of a shame, really
A rumour popped up earlier today claiming that Sony is planning on publishing Persona 5 in Europe. The source of the rumour was spotty at best, and we can't even find the origin of it right now, but none of that really matters since Atlus PR manager John Hardin has debunked the hopeful whispers. "Sorry Europe, but once again,...
News No Man's Sky UK Release Date Pushed Forward
Yes Man's Sky
No Man's Sky was recently delayed until August on PlayStation 4, with North America getting the game on the 9th, Europe receiving it on the 10th, and the poor old UK having to wait until the 12th to sample the space sim. Naturally, the two day difference between the EU and UK release dates had a bunch of us Brits asking questions, with...
Talking Point Will Sony Announce PS4K at E3 2016?
Neo or never?
Sony doesn't really announce hardware at E3. There are exceptions: the PlayStation Move was hastily wheeled out a few years ago in reaction to the Kinect, while the ill-fated but kinda awesome PSPgo was also confirmed during one Los Angeles show. But most of its big system reveals tend to occur elsewhere: the PlayStation 4 was...
News Swiss Retailer Lists Crash Bandicoot for PS4
But it proves nothing
An early E3 2016 leak or a retailer responding to rumours? This could be a case of both, in all honesty. While there's real reason to believe that something is going on with the Crash Bandicoot brand, the fact that Swiss retailer Alcom has listed a new entry for the PlayStation 4 is not evidence of anything at all – the...
News PS Vita Passes 5 Million Units Milestone in Japan
Celebrate good times
It may have struggled globally, but the PlayStation Vita is still pretty darn relevant in Japan, with the handheld passing the five million units milestone in the region today. The news comes courtesy of the latest Media Create report, which signalled that the portable sold 14,956 units during the period spanning 23rd May to...
Talking Point Was Sony's E3 2015 Presser Really the Greatest Ever?
Magic moments
Thinking back on it, E3 2015 was a bit of a blur. We were outrageously sceptical ahead of PlayStation's press conference, and if you go back and read our predictions, that's abundantly clear to see. We'd heard on the grapevine that Sony was going to use its media briefing to focus primarily on strategic partnerships with third-party...
Talking Point Should Sony Leverage PS4's Japanese Game Lineup at E3 2016?
East wars
E3 is a weird thing. The annual Los Angeles-based convention is attended solely by press and retail, is anticipated mostly by enthusiasts, but is by far the most "mainstream" of all of the gaming shows. Think about it: if Gamescom is eccentric European cuisine, then E3 is a hamburger and fries; if the Tokyo Game Show is Katanagatari [Yeah,...
News Your June PlayStation Plus Games Have Been Revealed
NBA 2K16 and Gone Home confirmed
We hope that you're in the mood for shootin' some hoops, because NBA 2K16 is dribbling into June's PlayStation Plus selection. And, as previously rumoured, indie darling Gone Home will be joining the basketball sim on PlayStation 4. Not a bad combination, we suppose? Meanwhile, PlayStation 3 users can look forward...

In it he talks about the title's decade-long development cycle, the transition to the PlayStation 4, and much more. It's a great watch if you've been...
News No Man's Sky Dev Received Death Threats Over Delay
Sigh
A timely reminder that, for all of its brilliance, the Internet can also be a bloody awful place: No Man's Sky developer Sean Murray has revealed that he has received "loads of death threats this week" following the minor delay to Hello Games' hotly anticipated space sim. The title was pushed back from 21st June to 9th August this week, meaning...
News PS4 Controller Selected Best for PC Gaming
Dual shock
We love the DualShock 4 here at Push Square Towers, but it looks like we're not the only ones. The Wirecutter in collaboration with Engadget has determined Sony's current controller as the best option for PC gaming, despite there being a slew of alternativ
News Yep, No Man's Sky Has Been Delayed Again on PS4
No man, why
It was inevitable, we suppose. Just two weeks ahead of Sony's E3 2016 press conference, No Man's Sky appears to have been hit with another delay. The information comes straight from the game's media page on playstation.com, so we'd say that it's pretty much official. You can probably expect some sort of statement from Sony or developer...
News June's PlayStation Plus Games Will Be Revealed Next Week
NBA 2K16 and Gone Home rumoured for PS4

Weirdness Snake Believe! Python Found in Faulty PS4
Greatnesssss awaits
The PlayStation 4 can be a bit of an animal, but one Sao Paulo gamer got a little more than he bargained for. After encountering a few console faults – unexpected power cycling and strange smells – he took the system to an electrician, who assumed that he may find some kind of electrical fault inside. Instead, however, he...

News New The Last Guardian PS4 Footage Will Give You Goosebumps
Try not to tear up
People often forget that E3 for Sony typically lasts longer than the week-long convention itself, with the platform holder prone to releasing tons of information and trailers prior to the show. And it looks like it's really kicking things off right now, with The Last Guardian undergoing the full blowout treatment on IGN. The...
News Unlock Bonus Relics in Uncharted 4 Multiplayer This Weekend

News The Last Guardian's Cat-Bird Will Be Contrary Like a Real Animal
Enormous amounts of AI code used
Team ICO's talking a big game with The Last Guardian, and you'd be brave to doubt whether the ragtag group can deliver. The PlayStation 4 exclusive's director, Fumito Ueda, did craft two of the greatest titles ever made, after all: ICO and Shadow of the Colossus. And speaking in the latest issue of EDGE, the auteur...
News PS4 Is a Beast! Sales Surpass 40 Million Units
Still Sony's fastest-selling system

This means that the system is still the fastest-selling in...
News PS4 Exclusive The Last Guardian Is Still Set For a 2016 Release
You just gotta believe
The latest issue of EDGE magazine is packing a load of new information about The Last Guardian, the spiritual successor to Shadow of the Colossus. For quite a while now, the heavily delayed game's been slated for a 2016 release, but we've heard very little about the project since it was brought up at E3 last year. Naturally,...
Rumour Is No Man's Sky Landing on Our Planet Later Than Expected?
Space sim may be delayed
No Man's Sky may have been delayed – disappointing millions but helping with our post-E3 recovery immensely. The ambitious space-faring sim was originally scheduled for a 21st June release date, but all has been quiet in outer-space for some time now, and sources tell Kotaku that the title has been pushed back. The...

Event's main graphic released

Illustrated by Ippei Gyoubu, the theme for 2016's art seems to centre on changing...
News PS4 Exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn's Getting Ready for E3 2016
Earth is ours no more
Following its Push Square Game of the Show award last year, Horizon: Zero Dawn was always likely to be one of Sony's big E3 2016 highlights – and it looks like the platform holder's getting the hype flowing a little earlier this year. Guerrilla Games tweeted out a photograph of downtown Los Angeles today, which has been...
News Uncharted 4's Focus Testing Didn't Always Go Smoothly
One individual had to be ejected
By and large, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End has prompted a pretty damn positive response – but not everyone is in love with the PlayStation 4 exclusive. But while criticisms of its pacing and platforming may be more than fair, comments about the gender of some of its characters are less reasonable. However, that's...
News Sony Expects to Sell a Lot of PS4 Consoles This Fiscal Year
Like, a lot
Sony's released its sales forecasts for the fiscal year which started in April, and they paint a very interesting picture for the PlayStation 4.

News Gran Turismo Sport Looks Much Better Than You Think on PS4
An eye-opening comparison
Gamers would never overreact, would they? Gran Turismo Sport has been rubbished in some online circles following its reveal last week, with many suggesting that the PlayStation 4 exclusive barely improves upon Gran Turismo 6. That's not strictly true, however, as these comparison videos show that, visually at least, the...

Mixed response to the reveal or not, Gran Turismo Sport is going to be a big, big release.

As a result, we're going to break this article down between Europe and North America, and...
Poll Which Uncharted Game Is the Best?
Draaaaake!
We bet that some of you saw this one coming. Naughty Dog's hardly put a foot wrong with Nathan Drake, the luckiest man alive and protagonist of the Uncharted series. Although Uncharted: Drake's Fortune didn't quite set the world alight when it launched back in 2007, we're not sure that anyone could have anticipated the runaway success of...

Apparently
Gran Turismo Sport is only 50 per cent complete. Well, that's according to a questionable comment made during today's unveil livestream.

News Gran Turismo Sport's First PS4 Gameplay Trailer Takes to the Track
Round the bend
Hot on the heels of today's release date announcement, Sony has deployed the first PlayStation 4 gameplay trailer for Gran Turismo Sport, which… Looks a little bit rough if we're honest.

News Sony Acknowledges the Demand for a New Crash Bandicoot Game
Good old Jim Ryan
We sincerely hope that Crash Bandicoot puts in appearance during Sony's E3 2016 press conference, because we're getting a bit sick of writing these filler stories.

Rock 'n' roll
The above GIF is doing the rounds, and it's pretty darn obvious why. It shows hunky hero Nathan Drake shooting some rocks in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. They then proceed to slide down a cliff-face with unnerving authenticity. It really is something else, and perhaps justifies our
News Is Sony Reviving Legendary PSone Title G-Police?
Under arrest
Here's one that will date our readers: Sony's registered a trademark for G-Police in Europe. For those of you under the age of 28, this was a really popular sci-fi flight sim which released for the PSone all the way back in 1997 to rave reviews and some relatively strong sales numbers. A sequel released a few years later but never...
Talking Point Can Sony Top Its E3 2015 Press Conference?
Year of Dreams 2.0
It was the press conference of dreams.

Granted, one game...

Review Shadow of the Beast (PS4)
Adios, Amiga
Of the numerous reboots, remakes, and remasters this generation has brought us, this one may just be the most drastic.
