Cool story, Pro

by Sammy Barker Mon 14th Nov 2016

There was only one topic dominating Push Square this week: the PlayStation 4 Pro. We posted a metric ton of content pertaining to Sony's new supercharged system, and you can relive all of the highlights – as well as all of our other content – courtesy of your weekly Push Rewind recap.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare PS4 Pro 1

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare - 6/10

If there's ever been a polarising game, then it's Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. The campaign is a whopping amount of fun, and the addition of space combat is a large part of that. Still, there's a distinct lack of progress in both Zombies (as fun as it can be) and Multiplayer that damages the game's replay value, and then there's the unacceptable implementation of microtransactions. The single player may be stellar, but the multiplayer has come crashing down.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - 7/10

Skyrim is still a great RPG – one that successfully submerges you in a fantastic fantasy world that's packed with things to see and do. The remaster is the best way to play the game on console thanks to improved visuals, technical performance, and mod support – even if the latter is disappointingly limited on PS4. If you've taken part in this epic adventure before, then you may want to wait for the price to come down, but if you're a newcomer who isn't quite sure what all the fuss is about, the Special Edition presents an immersive journey that's perfect for those cold winter nights.

Hardware Review: PS4 Pro - Should You Buy It?

For a company supposedly sitting on its near 50 million unit install base, Sony sure isn't slowing down. Just a month after ushering in a virtual revolution with PlayStation VR, the platform holder is days away from introducing the first ever iterative console model with the PlayStation 4 Pro; the bags under the eyes of the Japanese giant's employees say a lot about all of the thumb twiddling that it's been doing these past three years.

Feature: 10 Games We Wish Would Be Patched for PS4 Pro

The games updated for the PlayStation 4 Pro generally post big improvements, but inconsistencies between patches mean that not every title in the console's catalogue has been improved. Of course, we doubt that many of you are clamouring for a 4K version of Call of Duty: Ghosts – but there are evergreen outings in the PS4's library that would benefit from the hardware boost. Thus, we've compiled 10 titles that we seriously hope are fixed up for Sony's new format.

Mass Effect: Andromeda Finally Gets a Proper Trailer

Good lord, it's about time isn't it? BioWare has finally released a proper trailer for Mass Effect: Andromeda. Not a video full of concept art, not a CG teaser, not a vertical slice of alpha footage, but an actual trailer. And what do you know, it's actually pretty good - aside from the horribly cliched blackouts. Can we stop with them, please?

Battlefield 1, FIFA 17 Both Shine Brightly on PS4 Pro

Marketing deals appear to have prevented EA Games from shouting too loudly about the PlayStation 4 Pro patches for its two flagship games, but Digital Foundry has determined that both FIFA 17 and Battlefield 1 are at their gob-stopping best on Sony's new system. The former soccer sim runs at an uncompromised native 4K resolution, while its World War 1 outing comes with a whole heap of improvements.
