  • News Marvel: Spider-Man's Swinging to PS4 in 2017

    Our spider-sense is tingling

    With Sony already confirmed to be Destiny 2's marketing partner this fall, and Call of Duty: WWII, Star Wars Battlefront 2, and – fingers crossed – Red Dead Redemption 2 all expected to follow, this holiday's already looking pretty stacked for the PlayStation 4. But it wouldn't be the year of dreams without more:...

  • Review Has-Been Heroes (PS4)

    Past it?

    Frozenbyte's best known for the Trine titles: a colourful trilogy of platformers characterised by lush fantasy environments and physics-based co-op puzzling. Charming, funny, and gorgeous, they were some of the best examples of the genre on consoles. Has-Been Heroes, however, is a very different beast. The charm is still there, although...

  • News Keep an Eye Out for Gran Turismo Sport Beta Codes

    Polyphony waves the checkered flag

    Gran Turismo Sport's beta started a little while back, but only a very small selection of people got in. Now it seems developer Polyphony Digital is ready to expand the starting grid, as we're seeing lots of reports of Americans who are suddenly getting access to the 13GB server stress test. You'll know you're in...

  • News WipEout Omega Collection's Pre-Order Theme Is a Thing of Beauty

    Omega

    There are no shortage of terrible PlayStation 4 dynamic themes, but this WipEout Omega Collection pre-order bonus is not one of them. On the bottom panel it shows anti-grav vehicles zooming around a hairpin bend, while the top section includes models of some of the franchise's most iconic jets. And it's all set to the sound of ear-shattering...

  • News Atlus Blocks PS4 Share Button in Persona 5 to Avoid Spoilers

    No changing this heart

    Persona 5 isn't just an outstanding game - it's also a gorgeous work of art. However, if you were planning on flooding your various social media accounts with cool screenshots, then we're afraid that you're out of luck, as Atlus has confirmed to Polygon that the entire game disables the PlayStation 4's Share button. When we...

  • Review Snake Pass (PS4)

    You shall snake pass

    Ah, the age of the 3D platformer. Things were simpler back then: we had Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, and – of course – Gex. Oh, how we laughed along with the latter little scamp through his adventures – one of them containing Red Dwarf actor Danny John-Jules and a former Playboy model in FMV. Truly a game that could've only...

  • Review Final Fantasy XV: Episode Gladiolus (PS4)

    All muscle

    Final Fantasy XV's first real slice of downloadable content, Episode Gladiolus details a part of the story from the main game that was left frustratingly vague. A decent way into the adventure, burly bodyguard Gladiolus - Gladio for short - up and leaves the party with little explanation. He comes back later brandishing a fresh scar on...

  • News Gwent: The Witcher Card Game Shows Its Hand on PS4 This Weekend

    House of cards

    We've no idea why it's taking The Witcher developer CD Projekt RED so long to put out a collectible card game, but Gwent: The Witcher Card Game will finally get its first technical test on the PlayStation 4 this weekend. All you'll need to do to participate is download the 3GB client from the PlayStation Store for free, and you'll...

  • Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of March 2017

    Robot dinosaurs, giant demons, more robots, and truth bullets

    March has been another great month for Sony's current-gen console, a machine which seems to be keen on completely stripping us of our free time. Back at the end of February, we were forced to point out that PlayStation 4 exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn would be, if anything, featured in this...

  • News WipEout Omega Collection's Anti-Grav League Opens 6th June

    4K, 60 frames-per-second on PS4 Pro

The compilation – a collection of remastered versions of WipEout HD, WipEout HD Fury, and...

  • News Destiny 2's Full Reveal Trailer Makes a Last Stand

    PS4 beta also confirmed

    Destiny 2 is happening folks, and its first full trailer is here as promised. It isn't gameplay - we're sure plenty of that will be coming later - but it's a pretty rousing video all the same. With the Earth's last city destroyed and all of your resources gone, Guardians must join together to stop the Cabal onslaught. It's do...

  • News BioWare Will Share Plans For Mass Effect: Andromeda Based on Feedback Next Week

    Repairing the damage

    It's safe to say that Mass Effect: Andromeda is a divisive title. Some are happy with it while others think it's a disappointment - but as is usually the case with developer BioWare, it's more than happy to listen to feedback. With that in mind, the studio has tweeted out an official statement regarding its current position...

  • News Destiny 2 Will Have an Open Beta Later This Year

    Gameplay reveal also incoming

    Now that the Destiny 2 talk can take place without having to tiptoe around rumours and speculation, we should be hearing much, much more about Bungie's sequel over the coming months. The developer is promising a gameplay reveal on the 18th May, and later this year, you'll be able to try the shooter out for yourself...

  • News Nioh Is Koei Tecmo's Most Successful Western Release

    Die by the sword

    Regular readers will know that associate editor Robert Ramsey is a big fan of Koei Tecmo's output, from the various Warriors games right the way through to Toukiden. But something we always discuss here at Push Square Towers is how the publisher's business can possibly be viable: it deploys dozens of games every year and rarely do...

  • News Injustice 2 Unmasks Scarecrow, Captain Cold

    Cold as ice

    Who doesn't love a bad boy, eh? Warner Bros has released the latest in a long string of Injustice 2 trailers, this time focusing on some nasty men like Gorilla Grodd and Bane. But look closely and you'll spy two additional nemeses: Captain Cold and Scarecrow. Terror just got taken to a whole new level in NetherRealm's upcoming brawler.

  • News Dragon Quest Heroes II Hits Hard with Two More Playable Characters

    Stand and fight

    We're starting to lose track of all these Dragon Quest Heroes II trailers, but that hasn't stopped Square Enix from pumping out another one. This time, we get a look at two more playable characters - both of whom hail from Dragon Quest VI. Those of you who played the first Heroes game will probably recognise Terry as he makes his...

  • Review Persona 5 (PS4)

    Steal yourself

    Persona 5 is a difficult game to review – not because of its quality or lack thereof, but because it's such an intricate release. It's a role-playing title made up of many different parts, and explaining each and every one of them in detail would take way too long. With that in mind, we'll try to be brief: Persona 5 is a Japanese...

  • News April PlayStation Plus Games Revealed

    Here we go again

    Sony's revealed April's full PlayStation Plus lineup, and we can already see people sharpening their pitchforks. First off, we have the previously confirmed Drawn to Death on PlayStation 4. It'll be joined by the quirky Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime. Cross-buy titles include 10 Second Ninja X and Curses 'n Chaos, so you can nab...

  • Review Fated: The Silent Oath (PS4)

    Silent but deadly

    The launch of Sony's virtual reality headset served up an impressively strong start for the as-of-yet unproven technology. A large number of games, offering a rather impressive variety alongside some quality exclusives, made for an intriguing entry into the VR space. Unfortunately, since the exceptional launch, the PlayStation VR...

  • News Destiny 2 Will Have Timed Exclusive Content on PS4

    Marketing partners

    As expected, Destiny 2 will secure exclusive content on the PlayStation 4. Sony appears to once again be the primary marketing partner for Bungie's upcoming first-person shooter, which means you can probably expect bundles and much more. It's not clear which goodies will be exclusive to the PS4 version of the game, but the...

  • Review The Walking Dead: A New Frontier - Episode 3: Above the Law (PS4)

    Brotherly love

    For as quickly as characters come and go in The Walking Dead titles, you've got to give Telltale Games credit for continuing to pull together a compelling cast. Ex-baseball star Javier Garcia's only been around for three instalments, but already he feels like part of the fettered furniture: his complex family dynamic once again the...

  • News Breathing Intensifies in Final Fantasy XV: Episode Prompto's Trailer

    Boy to man

    Oh Prompto, you're supposed to be the sensitive quarter of Final Fantasy XV's party, so what the heck are you doing with a loaded gun? This extended Episode Prompto trailer has popped up online, and it asks more questions than it answers. But that's the point of a good teaser, right? To get the ol' juices flowing? Maybe someone stole his...

  • News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Steady in Slow Week for PlayStation

    Nintendo Switch got new stock this week which pushed its hardware and software numbers up significantly, but despite the new console on the block, the PlayStation 4 continues to sell steady. The system racked up another 30,000 or so units between the PS4 Slim and the PS4 Pro this week – an uneventful but sturdy statistic for the system. Horizon:...
