News Oi Square, Where's Our Final Fantasy XV PS4 Controller?
Green with envy
In a move that makes almost no sense - to us, at least - Square Enix is partnering with Microsoft to release a special edition Final Fantasy XV Xbox One controller. It'll soon be available to pre-order in Asia. Sporting a sleek look and some nice little details, it's an attractive pad - it's just a shame that the PlayStation nation...
News Final Fantasy VII PS4 Trophies Unleash Their Limit Break
Seven heaven
Final Fantasy VII's roster of Trophies have leaked online – but don't get too excited yet. These trinkets are not for the recently announced remake, but for the PlayStation 4 port of the PC port of the PSone classic. Confused? This is the version that Square E
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. It makes sense, then, for Sony to prepare a custom PlayStation 4 console to capitalise on the release. Sadly, unlike Dragon Quest Heroes' silver SKU, this one comes in bog standard black...
News Would You Be Happy with Another Final Fantasy XV Demo?
Because you might be getting one
The never-ending saga continues. Final Fantasy XV is supposed to be launching at some point next year on PlayStation 4, but it's been a while since we've seen or heard anything new regarding the highly anticipated role-playing release. Until now, that is. According to Chinese website VGTime, director Hajime Tabata...
News It Sounds Like You'll Need Just Cause 3's Day One Patch on PS4
Thankfully it's not huge
Just Cause 3 is out there in the hands of the public right now, five days before its official launch date. This is due to some retailers breaking the rules, which in itself is a bit crap, but at the same time, it means that details on the game's day one patch have been outed. VG24/7 have gone ahead and posted the update...
News 60 Minutes of Just Cause 3 Gameplay Tells You Everything You Need to Know
Boomtown
Just Cause 3 is the one game that we're waiting on before we begin our Game of the Year coverage here at Push Square. Rico Rodriguez's latest explosion filled escapade is undoubtedly going to be a fun ride - but if you're not entirely sold on this particular brand of sandbox madness, we'd suggest watching the video that we've embedded...
News This Dissidia Trailer Reminds Us That We Need a Final Fantasy XII Remaster
Oh, and Tidus is here, too
Despite arguably being the least interesting character in the game that he hails from, Vaan has made the cut in Dissidia Final Fantasy. The wannabe sky pirate appears to use a somewhat varied moveset that includes sword and spell attacks, all while he continues to prance around in nothing but a vest. Still, it's got us...
News Just Cause 3 Is the One Game That Doesn't Really Need a CG Trailer
You can do all this in the game anyway
Strikes us as a bit weird, this: Just Cause 3 has a new trailer, and most of it is CG. Now, we're not totally against CG trailers - they can be downright stunning when done right - but let's face it: Just Cause 3 certainly isn't the type of game that needs one. Rico Rodriguez's latest adventure is already...
News Squall Slices onto the Scene in Dissidia Final Fantasy
Whatever
Sorry Cloud, we were sure that we'd want to main you in Dissidia Final Fantasy, but after seeing Squall's trailer, we're not so sure. The sulky Final Fantasy VIII protagonist attacks with rapid gunblade strikes in order to keep enemies under constant pressure. Plus, look at that jacket - it's pure style. Once again, we're now stuck praying...
News Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Gets Slapped with a Hefty Delay
Augment your way out of that one
Well, we always thought that early 2016 was too good to be true. As Mirror's Edge Catalyst's retreat has already shown, the period is absolutely packed with new releases - and today, we're sad to report that we have another casualty in this war for your hard earned money. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has been hit with a...
News You'll Want to Main Cloud After Watching This Dissidia Final Fantasy Trailer
PS4 port, anyone?
We've been saying it for a while now, but Dissidia Final Fantasy looks bloody brilliant. The brawler, which features characters of all shapes and sizes from Square Enix's staple role-playing series, only exists as a Japanese arcade game at this point - but it's basically running on PlayStation 4 hardware. In other words, the...
News Hell Yes We'd Play a Final Fantasy or Persona Warriors Game
Don't stop at Dragon Quest
What property would you like to see Koei Tecmo adapt into a Warriors game? This is the question that Japanese magazine Famitsu put before its readers, and the results are in. Topping the poll was Touken Ranbu Online - which is sadly lost on us since it's a Japanese browser game. We can only really start to comment when we...
News Feast Your Eyes on a Few More Dissidia Final Fantasy Clips

News Wow, Star Ocean 5 Has Come a Long Way in Just a Few Months on PS4
Over 40 minutes of new PS4 gameplay
The first time that we saw Star Ocean 5: Integrity and Faithlessness, it looked as though it was a long way from being finished - so it's nice to see that developer tri-Ace has made a lot of progress over the last few months. In fact, the game's looking pretty great right now on the PlayStation 4, as evidenced by...
News Dissidia Final Fantasy Looks Absolutely Fantastic
Light our darkest hour
Why hasn't Dissidia Final Fantasy been announced for the PlayStation 4 yet? The game – which will launch in Japanese arcades later this month – is being built using hardware based on Sony's new-gen system, so it'll surely be a lock for the format in the future. We hope so anyway, because as this character trailer p
News Final Fantasy VII Composer Not Returning for PS4 Remake
Anxiety
This is the kind of news that we'd expect to find Under the Rotting Pizza: Final Fantasy VII composer Nobuo Uematsu will not be returning to score the title's forthcoming PlayStation 4 remake. Asked by French website Jeux Video whether he'll be involved with the hotly anticipated project, he simply responded: "Not at all." Let the Battles B

Preview Just Cause 3 Blows Us Away on PS4
We can't wait to burn it to the ground
It feels good to welcome back Rico Rodriguez – a regime change specialist extraordinaire with a grapple, an attitude, and a huge arsenal of destructive possibilities which will be unleashed on the PlayStation 4 in December. Just Cause 3 is a game that we've have been anticipating ever since finishing 2010's...
News Rise of the Tomb Raider's Launch Trailer Readies You for PS4's Fall 2016 Release
Make your mark
Word on the retail grapevine is that Rise of the Tomb Raider's not trending well, but Microsoft and Square Enix still have a couple of weeks to turn that around. This launch trailer for the temporary Xbox exclusive may help, as we see Lara Croft coming face to face with a group named Trinity, who are in search of MacGuffin artefacts...
News PS4 Exclusive NieR Automata Looks Freakin' Rad
Automata high
Platinum Games know how to put together a flashy trailer, and while this video captured by DualShockers direct from the Paris Games Week 2015 show floor takes a while to get going – well, stick around until the 3:20 mark and you will be rewarded. We get a decent look at PlayStation 4 exclusive NieR Automata in action – and while...
News PS4's Exclusive NieR Sequel Subtitled Automata
NieR, far
No Japanese game is complete without a dodgy subtitle, and NieR New Project has been officially named NieR Automata today. The game is in development at Platinum Games for the PlayStation 4, and will take place on a devastated planet Earth, where human created androids battle 'Living Machines' sent by the enemies of mankind. It's probably...
News Just Cause 3's Story Trailer Is Just More Explosions, Really
Wait, what story?
Just Cause 3's story trailer is here, and guess what? It's full of explosions. We'd expect no less from the bombastic open world title, of course, but by splicing in a few standard looking cutscenes, Square Enix is trying to convince us that there's a narrative worth caring about here. Spoilers: there won't be. But there's nothing...
News Adam Jensen's Deadlier Than Ever in This New Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Gameplay Trailer
High-end weaponry
Adam Jensen isn't just a man who gargles with gravel every morning to give his voice that extreme grit - he's also an enhanced human weapon capable of mass destruction, and in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, he's more versatile and deadly than ever. The included gameplay trailer hammers home that point as we watch Jensen taken people...
News Dragon Quest Builders Continues to Look Like a Charming Japanese Take on Minecraft
What else did you expect?
Minecraft must be doing something right, seeing as it's one of the most popular video games every released, but that's not necessarily why we're liking the look of incoming copycat Dragon Quest Builders. Judging from its latest PlayStation 4 screenshots, we reckon that it all looks rather charming, and the way that the game...
News The End of the World Awaits in Life Is Strange: Episode 5
Mad Max
This is it, then, Arcadia Baes: the brilliant Life Is Strange is hours away from a conclusion. Square Enix has sent out a trailer for Episode 5 – which is named Polarized – but it does warn that there are some spoilers inside. This author will be going on a media blackout for the rest of the week – avoiding plot details is going to be...
News NieR's PS4 Sequel Is Being Built Almost Entirely by Platinum Games
Does that studio ever sleep?

Not content with having just released Transformers Devastation, the Japanese studio is working on about a billion other games – all of which are due out on various platforms and being made for several different publishers. One such high-profile...
News Square Enix Is Bringing Everything but the Kitchen Sink to Paris Games Week
Well, probably no Final Fantasy VII Remaster either
There's never really been a big platform holder presence at Paris Games Week before, and we think that that's prompting some people to underestimate just how busy the coming weeks are going to be in the PlayStation Nation. Sony's said that it will be holding a Gamescom-esque press conference in the...
Guide How to Get Goo-d at Dragon Quest Heroes on PS4
You can goo it
Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below isn't the most difficult game in the world – it's actually pretty accessible – but there are a few intricacies that you'll want to master if you're gunning for 100 per cent completion. As such, we've gone ahead and scribbled down a handful of useful hints and tips for...
News Dragon Quest Builders' Box Art Is a Bit of a Bust
Cheap and cheerful
Dragon Quest Builders is going to sell a frightening number of copies in Japan when it launches early next year on every viable PlayStation platform, but its box art is a bit rubbish. Gematsu spotted the artwork on a Japanese product page, which sports a mixture of awesome main character sketches and a ClipArt-esque villain. It...

Weekend heroics
Arguably this week's biggest PlayStation 4 release is Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below.

Review Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below (PS4)
Prime slime
Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below is a name that we don't want to write more than once in this review. It's also the name of a very fun action role-playing game that sees the massively popular Japanese franchise step away from traditional turn-based battles and adopt a gameplay approach that's more akin to...
News Watch Square Enix Explain the Many RPG Elements of Dragon Quest Heroes
It ain't all about pushing square
Contrary to often popular opinion, Warriors titles aren't strictly button mashers. Alongside their hack and slash action, all of Omega Force's properties feature numerous role-playing game elements, and Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below is no different. Such mechanics are a snug fit for...

News Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Cancels Its Stupid Pre-Order Strategy
Fight the power
Right, so remember back in August when Square Enix revealed the ridiculous pre-order strategy for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided?

News Hitman PS4 Just Got Even More Needlessly Complex
Two versions of the same game announced
At this point, Hitman's model is so convoluted that we're struggling to think of where to begin with this article. For those out of the loop, the already confusingly named Hitman on PlayStation 4 will launch in an 'unfinished' state. However, the term 'unfinished', according to Square Enix, doesn't describe...
First Impressions Dragon Quest Heroes PS4 Is a Monster Masher That Shows a Lot of Promise
It's looking goo-d
Square Enix has been somewhat adamant in proving that Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below isn't just another Warriors game. Developed by Omega Force - the Japanese studio behind just about every musou title in existence - this hack and slasher definitely bares similarities to Koei Tecmo's franchises and...
News World of Final Fantasy Looks Super Pretty in New PS4 Screenshots
A world that's worth a look
World of Final Fantasy hasn't really garnered too much internet hype since it was unveiled at E3 earlier in the year, but there's no denying that it looks very, very pretty. Bringing a couple of different art styles together in order to create a varied visual experience, it's a title that comes across really well...
News Hitman PS4 Whacked Until March 2016
Blood worry
The reveal of Hitman's reboot won't go down in history. The confusing announcement made during Sony's big E3 2015 conference only got more baffling when it was confirmed that Agent 47's revival would be released piecemeal. IO-Interactive's sticking with that approach, but it's at least decided to bide its time, and put the release on...

Fortunately, this update's a fun one, as yesterday's Active Time Report brought news that...
TGS 2015 Dragon Quest Builders Crafts a PS4 Gameplay Clip
Minecraft made afresh
Clones can be pretty darn shameless, but Dragon Quest Builders is not your ordinary rip-off – primarily because it actually looks better than Mojang's $2 billion mega brand, Minecraft. Of course, it's utterly bereft of originality – it's a copycat, after all – but what it lacks in innovation it more than makes up for in...

It probably wasn't coming West anyway
Square Enix has gone ahead and announced the cancellation of Final Fantasy Agito+, which was due to release on the Vita at some point in Japan.

TGS 2015 Brand New Final Fantasy XV Trailer Takes You Back to the Past
And not much else
Just because Final Fantasy XV didn't show up in style at Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference doesn't mean it's going on hiatus for another ten years, as evidenced by this latest trailer that screams "please remember that I exist". Jokes aside, the title's newest clip once again attempts to hit us right in the emotions as...
TGS 2015 Game Boy's Final Fantasy Adventure Gets a PS Vita Remake
Oh Mana
Final Fantasy Adventure, a Game Boy title that originally released all the way back in 1991, has a curious history – namely because it's not technically a Final Fantasy game at all and is actually the predecessor to Super Nintendo classic, Secret of Mana. Either way, a remake is in development for the PlayStation Vita and smartphones,...
