News Conan O'Brien Will Give You an Otter Hat in Death Stranding, Obviously
Otterly ridiculous
We think it's safe to say Death Stranding is going to be chock full of cameos. All those celebrity guests that have appeared in Kojima Productions' white hallway are probably going to crop up in the PlayStation 4 adventure somewhere. We know that Hideo Kojima's biggest admirer, the one and only Geoff Keighley, is in the game as a...

Review MediEvil - A Successful Resurrection of a Flawed But Fun Adventure
Undead and loving it
Remakes of fondly remembered favourites always have a tough call to make: should they remain faithful to the source material, or make improvements and changes to modernise the old-school design? The answer usually lies somewhere in between. MediEvil is the latest PSone classic to be brought back to life, and it errs on the side...

Console version delayed into 2020
We've been rather excited for Two Point Hospital here at Push Square Towers.

Initially down for release in 2019, SEGA...
News WWE 2K20 Fans Put Together Hashtag to Prove Just How Utterly Broken the Game Is
#FixWWE2K20
It's been a while since a game so completely broken as WWE 2K20 has come along. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 is the last one we remember, but this latest wrestling effort must surely take first place.

Hands On Iron Man VR Is the Next Big Thing for PSVR
Stark would be proud
It feels like major PlayStation VR releases have dried up as of late.

Angle grinder

News Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot's New Trailer Is a Good Introduction to the Upcoming Action RPG
Hi, I'm Goku

There's better lookers on PS2
Update (22nd October, 2019): We hate to keep piling onto WWE 2K20, but it's out now, and so there's more and more evidence that this game just isn't in a good place.

Review The Outer Worlds - Fallout: New Vegas Meets Mass Effect in This Role-Playing Masterclass
Spacer's choice
The Outer Worlds borrows a lot from Fallout. More specifically, Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, the latter being developer Obsidian's own creation.

News Doctor Who: The Edge of Time Brings a Dalek Invasion to PSVR This November
Exterminate!
PlayStation VR's release schedule seems to have somewhat dried up as of late, but maybe that's because every other developer is getting out of the way of a forthcoming invasion courtesy of the Cybermen and the Daleks.

Don't got next
NBA 2K20 is already the best-selling game of 2019 in the United States – despite it launching less than two months ago. 2K Sports’ stranglehold on the interactive basketball market is pretty much unparalleled, but for the past few years EA Sports has been making strides with its own underperforming NBA Live franchise.

Hands On Marvel's Avengers on PS4 Assembles One Helluva Set-Piece Opening
A real Marvel
Marvel’s Avengers has come under intense scrutiny since its official unveiling at E3 2019 – strange, considering the Crystal Dynamics developed superhero smash opens in the most eye-popping manner imaginable.

We are the lazy generation
Criterion Games made a name for itself with its blisteringly fast racing series, Burnout.

News Did Hideo Kojima Actually Have the Idea for Death Stranding More Than Seven Years Ago?
"A game that connects people"
Much has been made of how quickly Death Stranding has come together. Announced at E3 2016, it wasn't until December of that same year that the game was even running on a PlayStation 4 engine - Horizon: Zero Dawn's Decima engine. Clearly, a lot of work has gone into the
Review Pig Eat Ball - Solid Swine Arcade Action
Sow good
Don’t let its rudimentary title deceive you: action-puzzler Pig Eat Ball is a fun homage to arcade titles that develops into a surprisingly deep experience with a quirky plot.

News Star Wars Jedi Has Dismemberment for Droids and Animals, But You Can't Cut Up Humans
Disney likely says no
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order appears to have some cool lightsaber combat going for it.

Anyone even remotely familiar with Star Wars knows how dangerous lightsabers can be --...
News Free Update Adds New Challenges to PSVR Shooter Blood & Truth
Available now
One aspect of Blood & Truth we love is its "gun-fu" combat.

It makes for extremely expressive and tactile shooting ranges, and it's great fun...

News Returning to ANTHEM May Just Be the Scariest Thing You Can Do This Halloween

Over the last year or so, we've written about many an Assassin's Creed Odyssey patch. The game's had some huge and exciting updates, but this latest patch ain't one of them.

Assassins bleed
Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is the kind of the game that revels in poking fun at its contemporaries – and yet somehow finds itself part of the punchline.

Review Monkey King: Hero Is Back - Simplistic Brawling Fun That's a Bit Too Short
Planet of the apes
Monkey King: Hero Is Back is a love letter to simpler times. Mechanically, it wouldn’t feel out of place on the PlayStation 2, and graphically, it’s barely just a generation ahead of that.

Here’s an outlandish idea: what if the PlayStation 5 could play games from every PlayStation console ever made – including the handhelds? To be clear, that would include: PS5, PS4, PS3, PS2, PSone, PS Vita, and PSP – the manufacturer’s entire 25 year history, in one device. Obviously, we wouldn’t expect the next-gen console to...
News Sorry, But There's a Reason You're Winning Your First Match of Fortnite Chapter 2
They're not humans
Fortnite came back online this morning with its all-new Chapter 2 content, but one unexpected side effect of this is that a lot of players seem to be winning the first match they play after the gigantic 9GB update on PlayStation 4. That's great! Nice one, but we're afraid to inform you that there's a reason for that. The first...
News US PS Store Sale Spotlights Spooky Titles Ahead of Halloween
Player beware, you're in for a scare
Fancy something a little darker to celebrate the shorter days? Sony’s celebrating Halloween with a new US PlayStation Store sale, spanning dozens of spooky titles – including essentials like Alien: Isolation ($11.99), Outlast ($4.99), and Resident Evil 2 ($29.99). There are some confusing inclusions here –...
News Control Strikes a Pose with Tomorrow's Photo Mode Update on PS4
As part of update 1.04
It probably still needs a patch or two to fix up the performance and framerate issues, but at least the post-launch support of Control hasn't dried up just yet. Tomorrow's 1.04 update brings with it Photo Mode, allowing you to snap in-game shots of Jesse taking down the Hiss or making use of her abilities. Detailed in a post...
News The Witcher 3's Writing Team Was Worried the Game Didn't Have Enough Content
Geralt of here
In a lengthy and impressively detailed interview over on Eurogamer, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt lead writer Jakub Szamalek has opened up on the development of CD Projekt Red's masterful role-playing game. Szamalek tells some great stories, revealing that no one on the writing team wanted to pen the title's sex scenes, and that Geralt and...
News AVICII: Invector Pays Homage to the Late EDM Great, Proceeds to Go to Charity
The Tim Berling Foundation
Tim Berling, better known as Avicii, tragically committed suicide in April 2018. Considered to be one of the greatest EDM artists of his time, it was a great loss to the music industry. In the video gaming world, however, it left behind a project that released just months before his death. Invector was an enjoyable rhythm...
News Sonic Officially Confirmed for Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD on PS4
Swaps bananas for rings
We've actually known about Sonic's cameo appearance in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD for a while now. A few weeks ago, some trophy descriptions let slip that the blue blur would be joining AiAi and friends in the remastered Wii title, and now, SEGA has confirmed its mascot will be an unlockable character. Sonic will of...
News Shadow of the Tomb Raider Bundles All DLC Together in Definitive Edition, Out Next Month
No price given
Shadow of the Tomb Raider more or less came and went upon its PlayStation 4 release last September, but we've heard that the DLC released for it post-launch actually ended up being pretty good. Starting next month, you'll be able to purchase that base game and all additional content in one transaction as the Definitive Edition bundles...
News Zombie Army 4: Dead War Shuffles Onto PS4 in February 2020
Release date announced
Prepare yourselves for a shootout with the undead -- Zombie Army 4: Dead War now has a release date. Rebellion is reanimating its co-op zombie shooter on PlayStation 4 with a full follow-up, and it's looking as wonderfully gruesome as you'd expect. Check out the brand new trailer above, which reveals when we'll get our hands...
News Hit the Streets with Brand New Need for Speed Heat Gameplay Right Now
I SAID RIGHT NOW
Yes, we are going to repeat that brilliantly awful line from the reveal trailer whenever possible. Dangerously cheesy dialogue aside, Need for Speed Heat looks to be shaping up rather nicely. There's now lots of new gameplay footage available to watch, and we've included one video above. IGN's 13-minute video includes a number of...
News MediEvil's PS4 Trophy List Has an Achievable Platinum
Old School Sneaky
MediEvil's PlayStation 4 release is just over a week away now, which means it's time for its Trophy list to make its way online early. Exophase, as usual, has the full list of trinkets you'll be able to earn in this remake of the PSone classic, and it looks like earning the Platinum Trophy won't be too hard of a task. In order to...
News Fortnite Chapter 2 Is Now Live on PS4
Download that update
After two days of downtime and a late leaked trailer last night, Fortnite is now back up and running on Playstation 4. Now dubbed Fortnite Chapter 2, this latest season brings with it a lot of new additions by way of a 9GB update. For starters, however, check out the launch trailer above. The biggest addition is, of course, an...
News Fortnite Chapter 2 Trailer Leaks, Debuts New Map and Mechanics
New ways to earn rewards
Fortnite has been down and offline in its entirety since last night's impressive world event, but it looks like the planet's most popular video game is set to return to tomorrow. But before that happens, a leaked trailer has made its way online that details just some of the new mechanics, features, and rewards that Fortnite...

Sony reassures Fortnite players
We're not sure if you've logged into Fortnite recently, but there's a distinct lack of anything whatsoever in the Epic mega-hit right now. The battle royale shooter's tenth season ended with an astonishing finale which saw the entire island implode. Now, all that exists is a mysterious black hole while players are...
Soapbox Sony Is Doing Its Smaller Exclusives a Disservice
Sammy's irked by PlayStation's poor promotion
Concrete Genie isn’t the first PlayStation exclusive to get short shrift from publisher Sony, and it certainly won’t be the last. The platform holder’s back catalogue is peppered with interesting experiences that it failed to commit enough resources to: Puppeteer, Tokyo Jungle, Bound, Gravity Rush...
News Concrete Genie Has 'Nothing Specific Planned' for DLC
Watch this space, however
Concrete Genie is a lovely PlayStation 4 exclusive with extensive artistic features and mechanics. We say that because it feels like its launch last week passed pretty much everyone by, so much so that it debuted in the UK physical sales charts down in the 35th position. It's a nice, little game but it looks like the...
News Wargroove: Double Trouble Brings a Co-Op Campaign and New Units to PS4 for Free
Should be releasing soon
Wargroove is an excellent, strategical indie game that released on PlayStation 4 earlier this year, but since its launch came so late when compared to other platforms, it was somewhat overlooked. The game is about to get much bigger and even better, however, with a new Double Trouble DLC that introduces a number of new...
News Inertial Drift Ditches the Brakes on PS4 in 2020
Comes with local split-screen multiplayer
The racing genre isn't particularly well represented on PlayStation 4. We reckon Gran Turismo Sport is the best driving game on the console, but even that takes a weird turn with an effort to showcase serious online racing. Inertial Drift, from developer Northern Softworks, is
News Bloodborne Is the Best Souls Game, and Even Souls Creator Knows It
Miyazaki knows best
Every entry in the Souls series, spanning from 2009's Demon's Souls right up until its latest releases, is a bonafide classic. We'll never forget our first experience with Dark Souls, but when it comes down to which is the very best, we think the answer is quite clear. The PlayStation 4 exclusive Bloodborne takes top spot, and as...
News UK Sales Charts: Concrete Genie's Wishes Dashed As PS4 Exclusive Flops in Shops
FIFA 20 scores a hat-trick
If you were hoping last week's new releases were going to shake things up in the UK's bestsellers, you're flat out of luck. FIFA 20 is still very much in prime position, landing a third consecutive number one. Ghost Recon: Breakpoint also lands a consistent result with another second place finish. GRID is the only new...
