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. The platform holder rolled out Dr. Richard Marks to demo PlayStation VR live on stage during its PlayStation Experience press conference earlier today, and as you can probably imagine, things didn't go...

Reaction PSX 2015's Presser Brings the PS4 Goods Despite Poor Pacing and Pants Finale
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 The Modern Zombie Taxi Co. Looks Like All the Other Crazy Simulators
Goats, surgeons... And now zombies
It looks like even Santa Monica Studios is dipping its metaphorical feet into the pool of insane indie games, since it is helping Vitei Backroom bring its, er, glorious vision of the zombie apocalypse to PlayStation VR with The Modern Zombie Taxi Co. where you – you guessed it – drive a taxi car as a zombie...

PSX 2015 Yakuza 0 Confirmed to Be Kicking the Crap Out of Western PS4s
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. We made a prediction that the latest instalment in the Japanese franchise would travel overseas, but we were cautious in our belief. As it turns out, we were actually bang on the money -...
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...

Talking Point Did PlayStation Experience 2015 Meet Your Expectations?
Fan fest
While PlayStation Experience 2015 is only just getting started for attendees, the keynote is now over.

Set your alarms
The last big press conference of the year is prompting mild jubilation here at Push Square Towers, as it means that we can finally get a bit of rest before things start all over again with CES 2016 in January.

First Impressions Taking Cover in Uncharted 4's Multiplayer Beta on PS4
Irresistible relic?
Few things in life derive more pleasure than the following: sex, chocolate, matching with other players in the Uncharted 4: A Thief's End multiplayer beta on the PlayStation 4. Despite being a rather cynical promotional ploy, Naughty Dog's server stress test is living up to its namesake, as you'll spend more time staring at...
PSX 2015 PS4's First PS2 Games Launch Tomorrow
Grand Theft Auto, Twisted Metal, more

News Four More PS2 Games for PS4 May Have Leaked
Rogue Galaxy! The Mark of Kri! War of the Monsters!

Poll Take the Push Square PlayStation Experience 2015 Community Predictions Quiz
Can you beat the PlayStation Experience?
Heck yes, it's that time again. Earlier this year, just before the beginning of E3 2015, we created a feature article that tasked you, the Push Square community, with predicting the Los Angeles event. The 20 question quiz was a huge success, with around 150 of you taking the time to vote on each question...
A blastonbury
BigFest is Theme Park with more Wellington boots and Bulmers – and it's worth buying for that fact alone. On the Metal's musical management sim was announced for the PlayStation Vita an eternity ago, but tickets are finally on sale from the PlayStation Store, and thankfully we reckon that it's more Oasis than Beady Eye. But what is...
News Drake Has a Deadly Date in New Uncharted 4 Trailer
Girl power

News PS4 Edges Out Xbox One in UK Black Friday Battle
But it was close
Sony won the battle of Black Friday in the UK – but only just. According to MCV, the PlayStation 4 moved 139,000 consoles between 22nd November and 28th November, a fraction more than the Xbox One which mustered 134,000 units. It's good news for both consoles, as new-gen hardware really starts to cement itself in British homes...
News Naughty Dog Is Sniffing Out Matchmaking Problems in the Uncharted 4 PS4 Beta
It's a beta for a reason
Going live earlier today, the Uncharted 4: A Thief's End multiplayer is undoubtedly being hammered right now as players settle down for some Thursday evening gaming.

We're expecting this year's show to hit a similar tone, with branded Christmas sweaters and some really...
News How Do You Access the Uncharted 4: A Thief's End PS4 Multiplayer Beta?
Treasure test
There are two great questions in this world: what is the meaning of life and how the fludge do you access the Uncharted 4: A Thief's End multiplayer beta? While we can't answer the first query, we can sorta solve the latter. Don't say that we don't ever do anything for you. So, the server stress test for Naughty Dog's forthcoming...

Review Phineas and Ferb: Day of Doofenshmirtz (PS Vita)
When are they going back to school?
There's a hundred and four days of… You know the drill.

Oh, and their pet...

It's been a long, long time coming, but BigFest has finally ditched its pre-show jitters and is ready to take to the PlayStation Vita stage this week.

Well, this is interesting. Sony dropped the price of the PlayStation 4 down to $299.99 over the Black Friday weekend, but it's not done with the low-price promotion just yet. The platform holder has announced that starting 6th December through until 19th December it'll be reducing the system again, with one of two bundles boasting...

News New Hot Shots Golf Looks a Bit Rough on PS4
Out of bounds
Among the wealth of other anticipated upcoming titles, it's probably odd that New Hot Shots Golf sits atop Push Square Towers' most wanted PlayStation 4 games list. But here's the thing: developer Clap Hanz has an impeccable record when it comes to arcade sports games, and with over a decade of practice, we doubt that it's going to hit...
News PS4 Titles Will Get Cheaper During The Game Awards 2015
Save on the PlayStation Store

We're assuming that this sale will only run in North America, but...

News PSN Down Again as Holiday Traffic Surges
'Tis the season to be offline

News Sony Constructs a Custom PS4 for Dragon Quest Builders
Sublime craft
Here's a prediction for you: Dragon Quest Builders is going to sell gangbusters when it releases on various PlayStation platforms in Japan next year.

Feature Did PlayStation Plus Represent Value for Money in 2015?
Plus what?
It's been a funny old year for PlayStation Plus, hasn't it?
