Talking Point What Are You Playing This... Christmas? - Issue 5
Xmas factor
It's the holidays, so not only does it mean we've got a special edition of WAYP lined up, but we've also polished it up in a timely manner. We upped the word count this week so that our staffers could cram in a few more of their plans, and we're hoping to see a similarly bulging comments section below. Sammy Barker, Editor: I'm a good...
Talking Point Which Free January 2017 PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?
Take your pick
Santa hasn't even slipped down your chimney yet, and already we're talking about January 2017's free batch of PlayStation Plus goodies. That's because we're actually expecting an announcement of the Instant Game Collection lineup imminently – potentially before Christmas, but most likely in the days between the Big Day and the New...

Winter magic
It's Christmas! Well, almost. Many of you will be flitting around like robins trying to complete the last of your holiday preparations this weekend, but the remainder of you will be eschewing the seasonal spirit by wrapping up warm with your PlayStation 4. We want to hear from the latter of you. Robert Ramsey, Associate Editor: I'm...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 147
Shortest issue ever
You know that brand of magazine that typically gets sold on high streets. Well, this edition of WAYP carries the opposite name to that. The thing is, for the first time in 147 weeks, your editor forgot to contact the team about this weekly feature. And thus, only two entries have been submitted – one of them coming from your...
Talking Point What Did You Think of Sony's PSX 2016 Presser?
An experience worth remembering?
The curtain has just closed on Sony's big PSX 2016 press conference, where some of the standout reveals included Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, WipEout Omega Collection, and PaRappa the Rapper. But it was the reveal of The Last of Us: Part II that really stole the show, while Uncharted: The Lost Legacy and

Experience it
It's time for PSX 2016, so we suspect that a lot of you are going to be spending a portion of your weekend watching and responding to Sony's press conference. During the downtime, though, what will you be playing? Here's everything on our itinerary. Alex Stinton, Reviewer: This weekend, I'll hopefully be hoovering up the last...

Late to the party
No, your weekly WAYP has not been cancelled – there's just been a small emergency here at Push Square Towers. It's all good, though, and we're back ready to filter through your weekend gaming itinerary. With this week being Thanksgiving in the States, we're sure that you Americans have got a great slate lined up. Jacob Hull,...
Talking Point Is Sony's Fall PS4 Exclusives Strategy Paying Off?
The numbers don't lie
It's been, aside from perhaps PlayStation Network outages, the biggest criticism pointed in Sony's direction: where are the major fall first-party games? The platform holder's obviously promoted plenty of third-party content during the all-important holiday period, but it's been less forthcoming with its own exclusives,...
Talking Point Which Free December PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?
Time to decide
That time again? That time again. Sony's set to announce December's free batch of PlayStation Plus games imminently, with a rollout likely on 6th December. But what are you hoping makes the cut in the Instant Game Collection this time? The only new release currently scheduled for 6th December is The Last Guardian, which is a...
Talking Point Why Are Fall's Biggest Blockbusters Flopping?
Signs of decline
It's not been a good few months if you pay attention to the UK sales charts. There have been a handful of success stories: Mafia III, against all odds, exceeded expectations – while Battlefield 1 has done well for itself. But by and large, it's been a quarter of catastrophic sequels: Titanfall 2? Down. Gears of War 4? Down. Call...

Escapism
The weather's frightful, the television is awash with expensive Christmas marketing campaigns, and a bunch of British z-listers are camping in the Australian outback. This probably won't mean much to our International readers, but it basically means that Santa Claus is working on borrowed time right now. It's a scary prospect, so what...

Solace
It's been… An interesting week to say the least, so what better way to reflect than with a hot hearth and some video games? There have been a lot of new releases lately, so you should have no shortage of things to play. But what's keeping you occupied this time? Y'all know the drill by now. Jacob Hull, Reviewer: Having splashed out a bit...

Play time
We're late, we're late… With another edition of WAYP. Sorry for the delay getting up this issue of your weekly Talking Point, but we're swamped here at Push Square Towers right now – apparently there are video games being released. Blimey! Alex Stinton, Reviewer: Shooty shooty bang bang! How many FPSs can one man play in a weekend?...

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 141
Time for change
The clocks are changing here in the UK, which means that life's about to get approximately 3.23 per cent more depressing starting Saturday evening. It's a good thing that there's PlayStation to keep us pre-occupied from the miserable mire that this existence involves, eh? Sammy Barker, Editor: I've been yanked back into the real...
Talking Point How's Your PlayStation VR Hype Holding Out?
Virtual revolution?
It's been two weeks since PlayStation VR released, and the headset is pretty much sold out around the world. While platform holder Sony is busy ramping up production in order to meet demand, we figured that it would be fun to poll some of you early adopters on your experience with virtual reality now that the initial enthusiasm...
Talking Point What Do You Want to Know About PS4 Pro?
Pro talk
We said earlier in the year when it was rumoured that Sony would launch both PlayStation VR and PlayStation 4 Pro this holiday that it would have its work cut out, and it's clear that the company's putting in overtime right now. Fresh from what appears to have been a very successful virtual reality release, the organisation now finds itself...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 140
Cobbled together
The weekend has arrived, which means that it's time for your weekly dose of WAYP. With the holiday season in full swing, much of our team are too busy beavering away on reviews to bring you witty asides, but we're sure that you'll make up for their absence in the comments section. Jacob Hull, Reviewer: This one snuck up on me a...
Talking Point What November 2016 PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?
Take your pick
We're not quite sure how it's happened, but apparently it's already approaching November. That means, the depressingly dark nights and cold weather are drawing ever-near here at Push Square Towers – but there's salvation in the form of the impending PlayStation Plus update. So, after the excellent October update which included...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 139
VR you ready?
The majority of Push Square Towers will be avoiding the real-world this weekend, as we strap ourselves into Sony's virtual reality world via PlayStation VR. With such a gigantic launch offering, there are tons of titles for us to work our way through, so it's goodbye sunlight from us. Sammy Barker, Editor: I'm playing Ace Banana...
Talking Point What's Your PlayStation VR Launch Experience Been Like?
It's a virtual reality
PlayStation VR is out now around the world, which means that we're able to stop telling you how amazing it is, while you experience it for yourself. We've reviewed the hardware, given our verdict on a half-dozen or so games, and even discussed stuff such as Cinematic Mode – but now it's your t

If the Shu fits
Another week, another WAYP – it's time again to chinwag about the titles that you'll be playing this weekend. First up, it's the turn of our team, but there's unlimited space in the comments section for all of you. Let us know what you're up to. Sammy Barker, Editor: It's all PlayStation VR, all the time for me this weekend...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 137
The calm before the storm
The holiday season is well and truly upon us, which means that this week probably represents your final opportunity to clear your backlog – unless you're already busy with FIFA 17, of course. The coming weeks will see the introduction of a not-so insignificant number of games, including Mafia III, Battlefield 1, and more...
September2016
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 136
Short and sweet
We're on location this week, so you're getting the shortest WAYP in the history of the feature. That's okay, though, because we're sure that you'll have ample insight to stack into the comments. You know the drill: let us know what you're playing down below. Jacob Hull, Reviewer: It's a Premier League weekend, so just you try and...
Talking Point What October PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?
Free the freebies
The price has gone up in North America, but few could be disappointed with September 2016's selection of free PlayStation Plus games. Between the excellent Journey and the agreeable Lords of the Fallen, the PlayStation 4 alone played host to two really worthwhile downloads last time out. But now it's time to starting thinking about...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 135
Iron rising
The nights are drawing in and the skies have turned a subtle shade of grey; the summer's officially over and it's time to start thinking about investing in a new woolly jumper or three. The good news is that while the sun goes on annual leave, games are beginning to release, and while we're not quite in the thick of the silly season just...
Talking Point What Did You Think of Sony's TGS 2016 Press Conference?
Beast in the East?
It got practically no build-up, but Sony's TGS 2016 press conference was decent – even if it lacked new announcements. The platform holder centred on upcoming Japanese releases like Final Fantasy XV, New Hot Shots Golf, and more but also found time to mention PlayStation VR and other hardware initiatives. But what did you think...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend - Issue 134
The waiting game
Wow, 134 issues of What Are You Playing and this is maybe... The third or fourth time that Overlord Barker hasn't put it together? That's some dedication right there, but enough waffling - it's time to find out what we're going to be playing on this rather grey but warm UK weekend. Robert Ramsey, Associate Editor: It's taken me...
Talking Point Did Sony's PlayStation Meeting 2016 Presser Deliver?
Pro skills
Sony just wrapped up its PlayStation Meeting 2016 press conference, where it announced the PlayStation 4 Pro, PlayStation 4 Slim, and the dozens of games that will support the new system. But did it live up to your expectations? Were you satisfied with the new hardware on display? Are the prices and release dates right in your eyes? What...
Talking Point What Are Your PlayStation Meeting 2016 Expectations?
4K cometh
Hey, you there, did you know that the PlayStation Meeting is tomorrow? Oh, you did? Well, we suppose that we have been ranting and raving about it for weeks now - but you surely can't blame us. It's all but guaranteed that both the PlayStation 4K 'Neo' and the PlayStation 4 Slim will be officially announced at this event, which means that...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 133
Are you Red E?
It's the calm before the storm – and not just because we've had a couple of days of hot weather here in the UK. No, we're referring to the fact that the next time we write a WAYP, we'll all know what the PS4K – or Neo – actually is. Exciting stuff, eh? Let's hope it doesn't leak on NeoGAF before Andy House hits the stage...

Talking Point Which PS4 Titles Will Be Shown at PlayStation Meeting 2016?
Will there be any surprise announcements?
All of the discussion surrounding PlayStation Meeting 2016 has centred on hardware, and that's because it's looking like Sony will announce two new consoles at the conference. We already know about the PlayStation 4 Slim, of course – much to the frustration of the platform holder – but the PS4K (or Neo,...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 132
August's almost over
The weekends do come around quick, but given that this is inexplicably a three-day holiday in the UK, you won't hear us complaining. In fact, between the football and the final barbecues of the summer, we'll be squeezing in plenty of gaming. Here's what we're playing. Sammy Barker, Editor: I've been having fun hopping between...
Talking Point What September PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?
A lineup worthy of a price increase
To be brutally honest with you, we're not sure when Sony's going to announce September 2016's batch of free PlayStation Plus games – it could be this week or next. With the news that the service's price will be increasing from 22nd
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 131
Gold standard
The last weekend of Olympic action awaits, and we're warming ourselves up for a weekend spent… Scoffing snacks and watching others exert themselves on the television. Of course, we'll be squeezing in a whole lot of gaming in between the various scheduled finals. Here's what we're playing. Sammy Barker, Editor: I've got an absolute...

Ready, set, go
The athletics is finally underway at Rio 2016, and despite an unoccupied stadium, we're really looking forward to seeing some medals being won on the track. Sticking with the sport, the Premier League season also gets underway this weekend. Not an enormous amount of time for video games, then – but here's what we're playing all the...
Talking Point When Will the PS4K Neo Actually Be Announced?
Just 4King reveal it
The million dollar question: when will the PlayStation 4K – or Neo as it's perhaps better known – be announced? There was a thread on NeoGAF this week pondering how long Sony can possibly wait to reveal its upgraded hardware, and despite thinking long and hard about it, we've struggled to come up with an answer –...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 129
The greatest show on Earth
The Olympics are now officially underway, which means it's time to learn about nations that you never knew existed and watch sports that would never get primetime coverage under normal circumstances. You either love it or you hate it, but there's no denying that there's something special about the globe getting together...

Talking Point Should Sony Ditch PS3, Vita Support for PlayStation Plus?
Moving on
Like it or not, the PlayStation 3 and Vita are nearing the end of their lives. That's not to say that either system is irrelevant – this author's been playing the addictive Steamworld Heist on the latter lately – but they're not in their heyday anymore. Sony knows this: it's ceased talking about the PS3 almost entirely, and while it...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 128
And relax
The one problem with WAYP is that it comes around too quickly. Your humble host took a glance at the calendar this morning and realised that it's already almost August – we'll be going Christmas shopping in the blink of an eye. Anyway, you know the drill – here's what we're playing this weekend. Sammy Barker, Editor: I've signed up...
Talking Point What PS4 Firmware Update 4.0 Features Do You Want?
Folders? PSone Classics? External HDD support?
Sony sprung the smallest slither of PlayStation 4 firmware update v4.00 news this week, confirming that a beta for the big update will commence next month – but stopping short of announcing any features. It's been quite a while since we last got a major system software refresh for the Japanese giant's...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 127
Feelin' hot, hot, hot
As scorching temperatures here in the UK continue to melt away our productivity, we're not sure that we can even be arsed playing games this weekend. That said, those of you from more tropical climes may be better equipped to cope with the apocalyptic temperatures, so do let us know what you're playing in the comments section...
Talking Point What August PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?
Take your pick
The summer months are melting away faster than our internal organs in the current UK heatwave, and that means that it's already time to start thinking about August's free PlayStation Plus games. July saw the addition of new release Furi and comical classic Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell on the PlayStation 4, capping a decent spell for...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 126
Time out
With the Great Weekend of Sport over, it's time for the Great Weekend of Gaming – at least that's what we're dubbing it here at Push Square Towers. There may not be many major titles deploying at the moment, but there are some decent offers on the PlayStation Store – and we've all got backlogs to bust. Here's what we're playing. Kell...
Talking Point Is Sony Scared of Xbox's Scorpio?
Neo way
Microsoft jumped feet first into the iterative hardware space at E3 2016, announcing Project Scorpio for… Well, the end of 2017! Sony, on the other hand, opted to keep the PlayStation 4K closer to its chest, confirming that it is working on an upgraded console, but refusing to share specifics until the platform is officially announced –...
Talking Point Will No Man's Sky Live Up to the Hype on PS4?
Sky high
No Man's Sky is finished! We're nearing our 50th article on the game since it was announced all the way back in December 2013. In case you can't remember those halcyon days: the PlayStation 4 had only just released, Geoff Keighley still produced award ceremonies for Spike TV, and Britain was still in the EU. Too soon? Anyway, the point is...
Talking Point Is It Time for PSone Classics on PS4?
Old-school
This week saw the release of two PlayStation 2 titles on the PlayStation 4: The Warriors and Metal Slug Anthology. The two articles that we wrote confirming these releases went on to become among the most viewed on the website over the past seven days, proving that there's pent-up demand for these retro re-releases. But isn't it time that...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 125
A weekend of sport
Hype! This weekend not only plays host to the final of Wimbledon but also Euro 2016, meaning that everyone here at Push Square Towers has a date with BBC1 this Sunday. As for you Americans, we're sure that there's some basketball on or something. Sammy Barker, Editor: I opted to review Energy Hook because… Well, I haven't...

For the Fatherland
The weekend's here already, which means that your regular host, the illustrious Sammy B., is probably on his way back to Push Square Towers right now following a well deserved summer break. We know that the boss often has trouble figuring out what to write about when it comes to this introduction, so we'll just take this...

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 123
Backlog busters
You can always tell it's summer, not because the sun is shining outside, but because WAYP is filled with people playing old games. That's certainly the case this time, as the people of Push Square Towers casually go about busting their backlogs. Alex Stinton, Reviewer: There's something to be said for returning to a game well after...
Talking Point What July PlayStation Plus Free Games Do You Want?
Instant Game Collection options
It's that time again: your free PlayStation Plus games for July are about a week away from being announced. But after a strong month including NBA 2K16 and Gone Home, what goodies could Sony offer to top it? Are you yearning for more major AAA titles, or is it a couple of indie outings that you crave? New releases on...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 122
Celebrate good times
E3 2016 is over, which means that it's time to stop thinking about games on the horizon, and start playing the ones in your backlog. With the summer drought slowly starting to take hold, there's plenty of variety among our team's responses this week – and we expect a similar story in the comments section below. Ben Tarrant,...
Talking Point Did Sony PlayStation's E3 2016 Press Conference Deliver?
Livin' on hype
And with Days Gone, the E3 2016 press conferences have concluded. For many of you reading this website, Sony's show will have been your most anticipated – but did it deliver? Last year, the platform holder served up arguably the greatest showcase of all time, and it attempted to match that with God of War, Horizon: Zero Dawn,...
Talking Point Did Ubisoft's E3 2016 Press Conference Impress You?
Ubiquitous software
Ubisoft's unquestionably one of gaming's juggernauts, but did its press conference at E3 2016 impress? The publisher led with some of its biggest upcoming titles – Watch Dogs 2, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands, and For Honor – but it also showcased South Park The Fractured but Whole and a new extreme sports title called...
Talking Point Can Sony Beat Microsoft's E3 2016 Briefing?
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. It was a strong if unsurprising show for Microsoft, though obviously the sheer number of leaks didn't help. The manufacturer closed on Project Scorpio, an interative hardware upgrade due...
Talking Point Did Bethesda Bring the Big Guns to E3 2016?
All of the Fallout
This year marked only the second ever Bethesda press conference, but already the organisation feels like part of the E3 furniture. Its media briefing earlier today centred on the likes of Dishonored 2 and Fallout 4 DLC, but it also included announcements of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition and Prey, too. But what did...
Talking Point Did EA's E3 2016 Press Conference Entertain You?
Electronic arts or wet farts?
And with that, the first E3 2016 press conference is under our belts. Never one to follow trends, EA did things a little differently this year, opting to hold its own event aligned with E3 – but technically not part of the convention. Its briefing was a bit predictable, though, focusing on the likes of Mass Effect...

The calm before the E3 2016 storm
Everything that possibly could have gone wrong went wrong this week, but it's going to take the onset of another Ice Age to prevent us from covering E3 2016 to the extent that you expect. Before the big show gets underway, though, there's just enough time for our weekly edition of WAYP. Let's get this over with...
Talking Point PlayStation 4K - Are You In or Out?
Neo's the time to make up your mind
The rumoured PlayStation 4K may be announced at E3 2016 next week, potentially changing the landscape of consoles forever. With such a seismic shift on the cards, we've pulled together a gaggle of our gobbiest staffers in order ascertain whether this upgraded system is likely to flop or fly. Below you'll find a...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 120
Overwatch this
It's quite incredible that there have been 120 issues of WAYP to date. Back when we started this series, we never imagined it would run this long, but that's a testament to the team for constantly getting involved, and you for commenting week in, week out. Give yourselves a big pat on the back. Robert Ramsey, Associate Editor:...
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...
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,...

Ils sont les meilleurs
Champions League final day has arrived, which means that we're hours away from seeing two cagey Spanish teams cancel each other out for 90 minutes. That's not stopped the British contingent of Push Square Towers from feeling giddy, though, with Euro 2016 mere weeks away as well. Toss in the Olympics and Wimbledon, too, and who...
Talking Point Could Sucker Punch Really Make Spider-Man for PS4?
Swing time
It's been the talk of Push Square Towers since the rumours started: could Sucker Punch really make a Spider-Man game for the PlayStation 4? A voice actor's resume started the discussion, when Stephen Oyoung's portfolio reference
Talking Point What June PlayStation Plus Free Games Do You Want?
Pick your perfect lineup
Ah, June – one of those months where its first day happens to be a Wednesday. This means that we're not entirely sure whether the latest PlayStation Plus update will be announced later this week or next week, but you can bet your bottom dollar that we'll be pestering disgruntled PlayStation employees trying to find out...

Waiting for Overwatch edition
Hoooo, boy – is that the end of another week? It means that we're one step closer to E3, which is both terrifying and exciting all at the same time. Still, we should probably make the most of these final moments of quiet while we can, and what better way to enjoy the silence than with some games? Here's what we're...
Talking Point Are Indie Devs Bringing Back the Budget Boxed Game?
Bargain bin
Once upon a time, convenience shops and hardware stores in the UK like Spar and Wilko used to sell games. But they wouldn't carry the big titles – that was more the domain of Argos, Woolworths, and GAME. Instead, you'd find budget PlayStation 2 releases available for less than a tenner. They were, in most cases, universally awful –...
Talking Point Can Sony Top Its E3 2015 Press Conference?
Year of Dreams 2.0
It was the press conference of dreams. Those with cold hard rocks for hearts naturally disagreed, but a single show revolving around The Last Guardian, Final Fantasy VII, and Shenmue III was fan fiction right up until the moment that Sony rolled them out for real, one Earth shaking announcement after another. Granted, one game...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 117
A thief's DOOM
This week saw the release of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and DOOM, so you can guarantee that this edition of WAYP will be dominated by the two hottest additions to the PlayStation 4's library. *Reads Ramsey's entry*. Oh, for f***'s sake... Sammy Barker, Editor: I'll be playing DOOM this weekend, I guess. I've got to be brutally...

Overwatch and out
A bit of inside baseball: your humble host is horrible at organising WAYP every week. Despite the feature being in its 116th instalment, you could probably count on one hand the number of times this editor has contacted his team on time in order to solicit entries for the article. This time it's finally come to bite this shamed...

Rain haven
The April showers are particularly unpredictable at Push Square Towers right now, which means that we have an excellent excuse not to brave the outdoors – after all, no one likes getting wet if they can help it. Fortunately, we have a solution: stay indoors and play video games until Monday prematurely arrives. Bonza! Sammy Barker,...
Talking Point What May PlayStation Plus Freebies Do You Want?
Free Watch Dogs and Tetris Ultimate rumoured
Is it really that time already? It feels like a matter of days have passed since April's big PlayStation Plus update was announced, but we're expecting Sony to outline May's roster of freebies later this week. That's already sent the rumour mill into overdrive, with tweets flying around regarding the...

Dearly beloved
Work is well and truly over, which means that it's all video games all the time for the next two days. Well, not quite, as this author still has a handful of chores to complete – but we're not going to let that dampen the mood. In honour of the late, great Prince – it's time to party like it's 1999.

Backlog busting
'Tis the week before Dark Souls III, so all round Push Square, there is much anticipation – and a little despair. Seriously, though, there's more variety in this week's WAYP than any previous editions. We have a sneaking suspicion that that won't be the case next time, so make the most of it. Sammy Barker, Editor: I blame Robert...
