News Here's a Quick Look At Destiny on Vita via PS4 Remote Play
Sci-fi hardware
You all know how Destiny looks on the PlayStation 4 by now thanks to its alpha, beta, and the hefty amount of trailers that we've posted here at Push Square, but how does it fare on a smaller screen? If that particular question's been floating around in your head, then you'll be pleased to know that Sony has the answer thanks to a...
News PlayStation Gets a PS4 Destiny Bundle and Oodles of DLC, While Xbox Gets Eau De Destiny
We smell trouble
Better hunker down, because a new storm's brewing in the ongoing — and non-existent — console war. You may already know this all too well, but Sony has a marketing deal with Activision and Bungie regarding imminent sci-fi shooter, Destiny. This essentially means that every advert for the title you see, whether it's on a...
News Destiny's Live Action Trailer is About as Cheesy as You Can Possibly Get
But still kinda cool
As we edge ever closer to Destiny's release next week, developer Bungie seems to be going all-out with media for the game. We've already had two videos this week detailing the exclusive content coming to PlayStation platforms, but the time has finally come for the title's inevitable live action trailer. As if the headline...
News Explore Destiny's PlayStation Exclusive Co-Op Strike Mission with This New Trailer
The harder they fall
The level 18 Dust Palace co-op Strike mission is part of PlayStation's exclusive Destiny content, and like with the Exodus Blue competitive multiplayer map, we're getting a sneak peek at it thanks to a smart new trailer. The Strike takes place on Mars where you'll face off against the burly Cabal vanguard, and it all looks...
News Here's a Look at Destiny's PlayStation Exclusive Multiplayer Map
Just for you
Destiny's getting a bunch of PlayStation exclusive content when it launches next week, including a multiplayer map named Exodus Blue. As such, Sony's released a quick video that shows off the location in action. Much like the beta's available maps, this new addition seems to have a nice balance between enclosed areas and dangerously...
News Destiny's Planet View Website is Pretty Darn Cool
Explore the game's galaxy on your PC
Destiny is out next week as we begin racing into September. The incredibly hyped sci-fi shooter enjoyed an amazing alpha and a brilliant beta, and now it's got, er, planet view. Surprisingly, this Google Maps powered site provides an intriguing and downright enjoyable look at the game's locations. All you have...
News Pre-Ordered Destiny and CoD: Advanced Warfare? Congrats, You get an Armour Shader
Bet you're over the moon
We've all sat and watched as pre-order bonuses have gotten crazier over time, as near pointless trinkets are offered up as a way to entice us into hitting that big colourful 'add to basket' button. But what happens when you pre-order not one, but two different games before a set date? Well, mega publisher Activision has the...
August2014
Bang for your buck
Outside of the alpha and beta, we haven't heard or seen much regarding Destiny's competitive multiplayer offering. Both downloadable sneak peeks only offered one game type — control — so it's about time that we got a better look at the sci-fi shooter's various modes. And this trailer
News You Won't Be Able to Transfer Your Destiny Beta Characters into the Full Game
No surprises here
In unsurprising, but still slightly disappointing news, Bungie has revealed that you won't be able to transfer your Destiny beta character into the full game. Speaking on the title's official website, the daring developer stated that your avatar "won’t transfer to the final version of Destiny", while also noting that "the vaults...

Feature The PS4 Destiny Diaries - Day Seven: One Last Beta Adventure on the Moon
We'll meet again
What a wild ride the Destiny beta has been. For a long time, Bungie's latest was the 'next big thing' that we knew next to nothing about; a couple of E3 appearances, some concept art here and there, and a single slice of gameplay footage to gawk at – it was only these things that gave us the slightest hint of what the game...
News A New Story Mission Is Taking You to the Moon in the Destiny Beta Tomorrow
We would never have guessed
Tomorrow marks the last full day of the Destiny beta, and what a huge success it appears to have been. Writing on its official blog, developer Bungie has confirmed that you'll be heading to the Moon, as the mission that's been sitting on our map screens since the beta began will be unlocked. Unfortunately, the new...
Feature The PS4 Destiny Diaries - Day Six: Tackling the Strike's Co-Op Difficulty Spike
Got your back
All the way back in the hazy days of the Destiny alpha, complaints about the download's co-op based Strike mission were rife. Many argued that it was too hard compared to the other co-op activities, while others simply put forward the opinion that the big boss enemies of this hectic challenge were far too beefy, and that their total...
Feature The PS4 Destiny Diaries - Day Five: Wasting Inordinate Amounts of Time at the Tower
The good life
When you really stop and think about it, Destiny's hub location dubbed the Tower is a beautiful thing. In a game where essentially all you do is shoot things in the head, the Tower provides a resting place where you can enjoy some downtime between stints of slaughter. You can introduce yourself to other players, buy new equipment, read...
Who Would Win Wednesdays Destiny Special
Overpowered, nerf
If you haven't already noticed, Push Square has been going Destiny mad over the past week or so. We've been keeping a diary for each day of our exploits in the beta, but we thought that we'd try something a little different with today's traditional Who Would Win Wednesdays. A feature that's usually reserved for
Feature The PS4 Destiny Diaries - Day Four: Loot, Glorious Loot
Max the satisfaction
If you've been playing the Destiny beta non-stop for the past four days, then you probably won't know what to do with yourself now that it's taking a two day break for maintenance purposes. It's a good thing, then, that I'm writing these diaries the day after events have taken place, which hopefully means that those withdrawal...
Feature The PS4 Destiny Diaries - Day Three: The Crucible Presents Push Square vs. The World
We honestly weren't that bad
If there's anything that a modern game needs, it's a competitive multiplayer mode that's usually shoehorned into a single player title and treated like a second class component. Fortunately, Bungie is somewhat adept at crafting a solid online shooter, and it's clear that the studio's experience bleeds into Destiny's...
Feature The PS4 Destiny Diaries - Day Two: The Exploration of Old Russia
And not a stereotype in sight
For many, Destiny's biggest draw is its promise that you can explore huge, open areas with your buddies – or even complete strangers – as you scavenge the land for some lovely new loot. And I must admit, this is also the much hyped shooter's key component for me, as well. While I'm fairly confident that the story...
Feature The PS4 Destiny Diaries - Day One: Why Wouldn't You Want to Be a Robot?
Harder, better, faster, stronger
In the back of our minds, we all knew that it would happen. It always does. Once again, we felt the PlayStation Network creak under the weight of thousands of users trying to access the digital store and download the Destiny Beta at roughly the same time. Even Bungie's website felt the crushing demand of eager gamers...
Guide How to Get into the Destiny Beta on PS4
It's not as hard as you think
So, interested in Destiny, are you? At this point, we suppose the better question is: who isn't interested? The game's alpha sent the PlayStation community into an uproar, and it's safe to say that we were thoroughly impressed, too. Chances are, if you're hyped for Bungie's upcoming sci-fi epic, you'll already know how...

News Don't Worry, Bungie Thinks Destiny Will Enjoy a Smooth Launch Despite Huge Amounts of Players
Easier said than done
After taking part in Destiny's recent Alpha, we were happy to report that we found the experience completely hassle free. We spent over 25 hours in Bungie's newly created world, and we didn't come across a single connection problem, big or small. It provided a promising glimpse of the full release, but as we all know too well,...
News Activision Confirms Timed PlayStation-Exclusive Destiny Content, Then Retracts Statement
Going round in circles
Remember when we told you there were rumours that the PlayStation-exclusive content for Bungie's Destiny was only going to be around until "Fall 2015"? Well it looks like publisher Activision can't officially make up its mind on the matter, as it has confirmed this report with Eu
News 196,999,314 Things Were Killed in Destiny's PS4 Exclusive Alpha
They never learn
We certainly had a lot of fun with Destiny's PlayStation 4 Alpha, but there's no getting around the fact that we, as Guardians, have contributed heavily to the extinction of creepy aliens. If they weren't trying to blow our heads off, we would be a little more sympathetic, but as it stands, the total death tally of just under 197...
Poll Did Destiny's PS4 Exclusive Alpha Have You Dancing with Joy?
Destined for greatness
We originally had this little feature lined up with our First Impressions, but Bungie had to go and extend the Alpha testing period, didn't it? Nevertheless, Destiny's surprise first look is sadly over now, and it's time to tell us what you thought about it. If you've read our aforementioned preview, then you'll already know...
