Merry Christmas to all. Push Square is a great site, but it is the community that keeps me coming back. I hope everyone has a great day and gets at least one game that they really want.
Could not Sony have purchased these shares without talks of a takeover while the stock price was still low? All they achieved was inflating the stock price before purchasing the shares.
Have to agree with Stephen. I love a quality couch co-op game that I can play with my son and that is what Hazelight does best. Plus, Split Fiction is only three months away, so I can actually get excited.
I am thrilled for the Hazelight Studios game Split Fiction. I love a quality couch co-op game that I can play with my son, and it is only three months until release. Now that is something I can get excited about, unlike The Witcher 4. As good as that trailer looked, the game itself is realistically four years away.
@Oh_fiddlesticks Well in that case you could say the same for Best Action / Adventure Game category (Astro Bot is nominated in both) and Best RPG (with three crossovers: Final Fantasy, Shadow of the Erdtree and Metaphor).
OG OverWatch. I forgot that there were only three healers when the game first started, but that Mercy ultimate team revive is so over powered. And she gets her ultimate so fast. Wish it were a few seasons later though so we could have Doom back as a damage hero.
@OldGamer999 Unfortunately, LEGO has only ever brought back two or three sets once they were retired, and I believe those were fan created. But you can still find the Tallneck set for around a hundred bucks on eBay, which is only about twenty dollars over retail. That price is sure to go up though.
Oxenfree: Lost Signals 2 that I purchased in the store sale for $1.99 because I saw it listed here. That is, if I can get my son to quit playing Vampire Survivors for a little while.
GRIS is a lovely, chill platformer in which you don’t shoot or attack and can’t die. It has a nice art style and soundtrack. And the developer’s new game, Neva, is being released next week, so nice timing.
@Ravix Are those screenshots for real? Or is that a joke? Because the original looks far more realistic. The remastered version looks so shiny and plastic. They have removed all the detail such as age lines and skin blemishes and replaced it with a smooth, glossy veneer. And what’s up with his beard? It’s like he has dyed it with Just for Men to get the grey out. Please tell me that is a joke.
I don’t understand why people keep complaining about the Pro raising the bar for PS6 pricing. Sony must have been aware that consumers were paying $800-$1000 to scalpers for the base PS5 for at least two years after release due to inventory constraints. This suggests that there was a demand there at a higher price point. Sony didn’t need the Pro to prove that.
@Boxmonkey @get2sammyb I wouldn’t exactly say she is covered in tattoos. The moth and fern on her arm are meant to cover her original bite mark, to hide her immunity. Plus, the moth resembles a firefly, has connotations with death and can metaphorically be seen to represent Ellie’s obsession, as a moth is obsessed with light.
The Plucky Squire. And boy am I angry about these stupid Glitchbirds. I replayed a later chapter to collect a scroll that I missed and instead of exiting the chapter after getting the scroll, I continued playing and also picked up a Glitchbird that I had already found which reset the Glitchbird counter (all ten must be found in a single play through). Now I am locked out of the platinum unless I start a new game. Glitchbird is a perfect name for what seems like a stupid glitch. I was so angry that I almost quit playing. Oh well, I still have Astro Bot.

Re: Poll: What Are Your Most Anticipated PS5 Games of 2025?
It’s close with a little over 2000 votes, but I am really surprised (and pleased) to see Ghost of Yotei with a slight lead over GTA6.

Re: Delightful Photography Adventure Toem Is Getting a Sequel
Loved this game and thought it would be perfect for a handheld. Unfortunately I did not yet have a Portal when I played, so a sequel sounds great.

Re: PS Portal Will Allow Cloud Streaming in New Beta Update
Is the cloud streaming feature always going to be for Premium members only, or is it just the Beta that is limited to Premium?

Re: PS5 Consoles, PSVR2 Discounts for Black Friday Seemingly Revealed
So the standalone PSVR2 is discounted to the same price as the bundle with Call of the Mountain? That doesn’t make much sense.

Re: Game of Thrones Star Sophie Turner Might Play Lara Croft in Tomb Raider TV Show

Re: PS5 Slim Price Drop Confirmed, $380 Until 24th December
@Darude84 The Slim has 1 Tb of memory. The OG PS5 had 825 Gb. I guess that is an upgrade.
