TGS 2015 Square Enix's Tokyo RPG Factory Unveils Fantasy RPG for PS4, Vita
Ikenie to Yuki no Setsuna due in 2016
Do you remember at E3 2015 when Square Enix announced that it had formed a new outfit named Tokyo RPG Factory? Well, its first project Ikenie to Yuki no Setsuna was outlined in a little more detail during Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference earlier today. It's an old-school role-playing release – duh...
TGS 2015 Dragon's Crown Developer Vanillaware Reveals 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
Coming to PS4 and Vita
A blink-and-you'll-miss-it reveal during Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference today, the elaborately named 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is a PlayStation 4 and Vita sci-fi title from Vanillaware – the developer perhaps best known for Dragon's Crown. The game – which is being built in collaboration with Atlus – certainly...
TGS 2015 Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme VS Force Stomps to PS Vita
Gun-damn, this looks good
There was more PlayStation Vita during Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference today than every E3 media briefing ever combined, and Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme VS Force was just one of the titles on display. Series enthusiast Robert Ramsey has bogged off to get some lunch, so it's down to this clueless author to try...
TGS 2015 Dragon Quest Builders Constructs a Yellow Brick Path to PS4, PS3, Vita
Mine and craft in Square Enix's spin-off
Japan's biggest game of 2016 may be one that you least expect, as Dragon Quest Builders is shaping up to be every inch the commercial smash. Square Enix's block breaking role-playing release promises to give Minecraft's occasionally mindless brick busting a bit of structure – while also augmenting the...
TGS 2015 New Danganronpa V3 Confirms Your Return Trip to Despair on PS4 and Vita
We can just hear the theme tune
Although there aren't many details to go by just yet, Spike Chunsoft has confirmed that it's working on a new instalment in the Danganronpa franchise. Dubbed New Danganronpa V3, the title marks the series' first foray onto the PlayStation 4. Unsurprisingly, the game's teaser trailer is covered in Monokumas, and comes...
TGS 2015 World of Final Fantasy Looks Ridiculously Cute on PS4, Vita
Look at the size of those heads
World of Final Fantasy was initially revealed back at E3 earlier in the year, and now we've got what is perhaps our best look at the role-playing release yet. Celebrating all things Final Fantasy, the game features monsters, characters, and themes from various instalments of Square Enix's beloved franchise. What's...
TGS 2015 PS4 and Vita Fighter One Piece: Burning Blood Bursts onto Open Seas in 2016
One Piece is going one-on-one
Bandai Namco's announced that a new One Piece game is blasting onto Japanese store shelves next year. Entitled One Piece: Burning Blood, it appears to be a one-on-one fighter that's somewhat reminiscent of the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja series. The brawler got a short trailer during Sony's Tokyo Game Show presser, and it...
TGS 2015 Toukiden 2 Goes Open World on PS4 and Vita in 2016
A slayer's duty never ends
We probably should have seen this one coming. Given the success of Koei Tecmo's Toukiden: The Age of Demons and sort-of-sequel Toukiden Kiwami, it's no surprise that the franchise is moving onto its second iteration with the aptly named Toukiden 2. All that we have to go on right now is a brief teaser trailer, but the...
Talking Point What Did You Think of Sony's Pre-TGS Press Conference?
The talk of Tokyo
Sony's just closed the curtain on its pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference, which was breathless at points. The platform holder revealed a new Bloodborne expansion, as well as Gravity Rush 2 for the PlayStation 4. Third-parties were also out in force, with SEGA announcing two new Yakuza titles, while Bandai Namco rolled out fresh...
Live Watch Sony's Pre-TGS 2015 PlayStation Press Conference Right Here
Streaming straight from Japan
And we're back. Sony's presser no-show at Gamescom 2015 hit us harder than we expected, so we've been itching for a media briefing to report on. Fortunately, the platform holder's big pre-Tokyo Game Show event promises plenty, with the likes of Persona 5 and The Last Guardian all certain to put in appearances. The...
Out This Week Destiny: The Taken King, PES 2016, Flame Over
Get reading those Grimoire cards
This may not be the biggest week for new releases ever, but few franchises are more popular than Destiny.

Feature What PS4, PS3, and Vita Reveals Should You Expect During Sony's Pre-TGS Presser?
Predicting PlayStation's big media briefing in Japan
Hooray! After a pretty darn dismal Gamescom 2015 last month, PlayStation press conference season begins in earnest this week. Sony's big pre-Tokyo Game Show media briefing is the first of three events before Christmas, with Paris Games Week and PlayStation Experience both set to follow later in...
News UK Sales Charts: Tearaway Unfolded Flops Like Wet Paper
Paper cut
Perhaps the PlayStation Vita's miniscule install base wasn't Tearaway's problem after all, as Sony just can't seem to get this property to connect. PlayStation 4 remix Tearaway Unfolded – which released in the UK last week amid widespread critical acclaim – limped into the UK sales charts, finishing in 33rd position. Considering we're...
News August 2015 NPD: PS4 Scores a Touchdown as Madden NFL 16 Tops
No pads, no helmets
August is well and truly over, and the latest NPD report confirms that the PlayStation 4 was the best selling box in the United States yet again. Sony's console outsold the competition in both the hardware and software departments, with Madden NFL 16 unsurprisingly touching down at the top of the latter list. Despite all of...
Push Rewind Destiny: The Taken King, Metal Gear Solid 5, and Lots of Reviews
Break a leg
There's never a good week to take a break in this industry, but Señor Ramsey informs me that the past seven days have been the pits on Planet PlayStation. Fortunately, he was able to plug the gaps with an ample supply of Destiny: The Taken King info and lots of reviews. Here's your regularly scheduled recap of everything that you need...
News Super Meat Boy on PS4, Vita Will Be One of Your October PlayStation Plus Freebies
Certainly seems that way, anyway
Super Meat Boy will stick like glue to the PlayStation 4 and Vita next month, after developer Team Meat once hinted that the title would never arrive on Sony hardware. Contractual issues famously prevented the legendary platformer from testing your patience on the PlayStation 3, but you'll finally be able to get your...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 84
Raiding party
What? The end of another week already? We're rapidly approaching the last few months of 2015 now, so we can see these articles getting bigger and bigger as we get closer and closer to the holiday rush. Indeed, now's the time to try and get your backlog sorted out before the blockbuster releases start pouring in - but we're not exactly...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Metal Gear Solid V Brings PS4 Its Best Numbers in Months
Sneaking to success
Wow, who knew that big games sell consoles? After weeks of incredibly dreary Japanese sales charts reading, the PlayStation 4 has finally jumped back up to respectable numbers.

News Europe Gets a Load of PlayStation Store Discounts, Including The Witcher 3
That time again
What, it's time for another PlayStation Store sale? Already? Well, if you say so. This week's European deals include discounts on PlayStation 4 titles like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, J-Stars Victory VS+, and, er, Godzilla. To be totally honest, we can't spy that many good deals, but at least you can add to your PlayStation 3...
Review Amnesia: Memories (PS Vita)
A memorable encounter
Amnesia: Memories is an otome visual novel where you play the nameless heroine who has lost her memories. The reason given in the opening scenes of the game is that a sprite named Orion has collided with you and takes up the space in the brain where your memories used to be. A cute notion, but as the storylines unfold, you...
News Massive 20th Anniversary PlayStation Store Sale Hits North America
Diablo III, Call of Duty, and Final Fantasy all slashed
If there was nothing in the latest North American store update that tickled your fancy, you may be interested in knowing that there's currently a gigantic 20th Anniversary sale going on in the New World. Granted, most of the discounts apply to PlayStation 3 and Vita titles, but we've still...
Store Update 9th September 2015 (North America)
Paypercraft
North America's received a reasonably bulky store update this week, as the likes of the brilliant Tearaway Unfolded and the enjoyable Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse step onto the PlayStation 4. What's more, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's freshly detailed expansion is up for pre-order, as is the we-hope-it's-as-good-as-it-looks...
News UK Sales Charts: Metal Gear Solid V Takes a Chopper to the Top
72% of sales were on PS4
Who didn't see this one coming? Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has tiptoed straight into number one here in the UK following its launch on the 1st September. Equally unsurprising is that 72 per cent of the stealth-'em-up's sales were on the PlayStation 4. However, Kojima's latest didn't sell quite well enough to beat...
Video Top 4 PlayStation Games - August 2015
Horror show
Your humble video host was torn away, kicking and screaming from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain in order to make this bloody Game of the Month round up, so you had better watch the damn thing. Featuring moronic teenagers, West Midlands accents, and even special guest appearances from everyone's favourite editor who isn't the...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 83
Ahead of schedule
The sun has set on another week, but there's one major difference this time: we've actually got WAYP ready relatively early this time. In fact, this level of organisation is practically unheard of here at Push Square Towers, as responses from staff members were solicited yesterday – and the entire article's been completed long...
Round Up Push Square's August 2015 Reviews
Racing towards the storm
August was a busy month for everyone here at Push Square, as we pumped out a whopping 39 reviews - which is surely some sort of record. The sheer amount of new releases perhaps came as no surprise, though, seeing as we're now hurtling towards the holiday rush at speeds that we're not entirely comfortable with. Future fears...
Review One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 (PS Vita)
Size doesn't matter
You're almost spoiled for choice when it comes to Warriors games on the PlayStation Vita, since just about every slice of musou madness to release on home consoles over the last few years has ended up on Sony's diminutive device as well. Generally speaking, the handheld editions of these chaotic brawlers never quite live up to...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Until Dawn and Dragon's Dogma Online Give Us Something to Write About
New titles boost PS4 sales
After what seems like weeks of being unable to write about anything remotely interesting happening in the Japanese sales charts, fresh releases have finally hit PlayStation platforms. Choose-your-own-horror Until Dawn slashed its way into sixth place in the software charts, selling 17,472 copies, while the highly...
Game of the Month What Were the Best PlayStation Games of August 2015?
Dumb teenagers, space battles, pirates, and raptures
Time certainly flies, as evidenced by the fact that it's somehow September. Yeah, we don't understand it either, but we suppose that we have to go ahead and announce August's Game of the Month anyway. Leading steadily into the holiday rush that's about to hit Push Square Towers like a freight...
Store Update 1st September 2015 (North America)
The phantom pain
Another week, another gigantic update on the North American PlayStation Store. Of course, you already knew that because we're a little late posting the content drop – but just in case you missed it, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is the highlight this time. It's not, by any stretch, the only game on the itinerary, though,...
Store Update 1st September 2015 (Europe)
The drop
Kept you waiting, huh? Oh, we've already used that one? Alright, we'll quit recycling that quote and get to the point: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is without doubt the biggest new arrival in this week's European PlayStation Store update. That should tell you a little about the magnitude of the sequel, as Mad Max, Grow Home, and Sup

True blue
Want some more colour in your portable gaming life? If so, we've got some good news for you, as North America will be nabbing the rather nice looking Aqua Blue Vita model later this year. The caveat is that it's a GameStop exclusive, where it'll retail for $199.99. It's also up for pre-order right now. The vibrant device will be available...
Rumour XCOM: Enemy Unknown Plus May Be Crash Landing on Vita
XCOM: Release date unknown
Strategy lovers rejoice, as the ESRB has recently passed down a 'mature' rating for XCOM: Enemy Unknown Plus on PlayStation Vita. The as yet unannounced game will presumably be a port of Firaxis Games' popular intergalactic strategy game. For our money, this type of title is exactly the sort of experience the system was...
News UK Sales Charts: Until Dawn Spooks the Second Spot
Shock scare
Considering ten days ago virtually everyone expected Until Dawn to flop, the Supermassive Games developed schlock horror has enjoyed something of a surprise turnaround. The game entered the UK sales charts this week in second, just one spot behind Gears of War: Ultimate Edition – which is obviously both cheaper and based upon an...
Out This Week Metal Gear Solid 5, Mad Max, Grow Home, Super Time Force Ultra
Boxed in
Yes, the holiday rush has arrived. This week's edition of Out This Week is one part exciting and two parts absolutely insane, as no less than 16 new titles descend upon PlayStation Nation, vying for your attention. There's only one highlight this time: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Having said that, honourable mentions must go out...

Weekender girl
Everyone's favourite vocaloid vixen Hatsune Miku will be hitting some high notes on the PlayStation 4 and Vita next year, as Project Diva X struts its stuff to Sony's systems in Japan. Due out on the Japanese giant's handheld format in March 2016 and on the firm's flagship home console in Fall 2016, the title will include a new 'Live...

Well, we say "hot news" but... You'll see. Reviews:...

Summer appears to be coming to a close, but in celebration of National Burger Day recently, we hope that there's one last BBQ on the agenda for you all. We can't think of a better way to spend the weekend than with a DualShock 4 in one hand and a hot dog in the other – who cares whether it's cloudy or not? Sammy Barker, Editor: For...
News Star Wars Brings the Force to Minecraft: PlayStation Edition
The empire strikes block
Sony's billing the PlayStation 4 as the system for Star Wars, so it would be a bit embarrassing if it didn't get Luke Skywalker and crew into the PlayStation versions of Minecraft. Fortunately, through a collaboration with "Disney Interactive, LucasFilm, and Microsoft" – seriously, this is written on the PlayStation Blog...
News Gal Gun: Double Peace Goes Practically Nude for Over $80
See through shirts
Ever thought a Western developer's DLC procedures were heinous? Gal Gun: Double Peace, the premier pheromone flinger on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, has taken things to the next level – by allowing you to see through lady's garments for ¥10,000 (~$82). Siliconera reports that the Pheromon Z item practically adds...
Feature Our Most Anticipated PlayStation Games of Holiday 2015
Pick 'n' mix
Madden NFL 16 is out, which means that the holiday rush is upon us. As such, we thought that it would be fun to collate our most anticipated titles from the coming months in one place. There was one rule, however – no one was allowed to include a title releasing prior to 7th September. Why? Because we didn't want a list that consisted...
News These Are the Games Square Enix Is Bringing to TGS 2015
Dragon Quest! Final Fantasy! Star Ocean!

And a month prior to the Japanese event opening its doors, Square Enix has announced some of the titles that it'll be showing on the hall floor: Dragon Quest Builders, Final...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Kept You Waiting, Huh?
Fortunately, there's not much to see here
Once again, there's nothing doing in the Japanese sales charts – well, unless you're fascinated by the evergreen nature of Nintendo's biggest franchises. Actually, the PlayStation 4 is proving a bit of an oddity in the East at the moment; it's not selling well by any stretch of the imagination, but it's...
News PGA Tour PS4's Price Putt Down in EU PlayStation Store Sale
Cost of LEGO games also crumbled
With no release date or information attached to Sony's own Hot Shots Golf sequel, we're gagging for a good gold game on the PlayStation 4. Unfortunately, the recently released Rory McIlroy PGA Tour hit a bit of a bogey – but we'd happily take it for a swing at the right price. Fortunately, then, EA Sports has...
Store Update 25th August 2015 (North America)
Touch down
The avalanche of PlayStation 4 software that infiltrated the European PlayStation Store earlier has now descended on North America, so you may want to lock yourself in a nearby nuclear bunker, because there's a lot of content up for grabs. Highlights include, of course, Madden NFL 16 and Until Dawn – but a big shout out to One Piece:...
Store Update 25th August 2015 (Europe)
The motherload
Good grief, we don't think that European PlayStation Store updates get much bigger than this. There are no less than 15 new PlayStation 4 games out this week, and while they're not all as equally exciting, one can't argue with such an immensely impressive haul. We've rounded up all of the goods below, but do let us know what you'll be...

PS4 and Vita titles creeping overseas

The game was already...

The event will kick off at 16:00PM local...
Review Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls (PS Vita)
Hell is whenever
As sinister as it is completely crazy, Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls is very much birthed from the same minds as the other games in the series – except that this time around, courtroom class trials and detective work are replaced by linear third-person action. It's a gameplay shift that paints Ultra Despair...
