Poll What Was the Best PS4 Game of E3 2019?
Vote now!
E3 has been a weird one this year, and not just because of Sony's absence. Indeed, it feels like it's a time of transition for the industry, as just about every publisher has at least one eye on the next-gen horizon. As such, deciding on an E3 2019 Game of the Show could be a little difficult, but we're going to give it a go anyway. As is...
Talking Point Should Sony Introduce a Game Pass Subscription of Its Own?
Subscription wars
Besides the lack of gameplay demos and Banjo-Kazooie, perhaps the biggest story of E3 2019 has been Microsoft’s excellent Game Pass subscription. The platform holder pushed the package hard – as it has done for a couple of years now – with the vast majority of games on its stage scheduled to debut as part of the service. This...
Reaction Sony's Decision to Skip E3 2019 Is Starting to Look Really Smart
Was the platform holder right all along?
When will we learn not to criticise Sony too hastily? Our first reaction to the Japanese giant’s decision to skip E3 2019 was one of horror, but we later took a step back and pointed out that the platform holder couldn’t (and probably shouldn’t) be judged until we see how everything transpires. On the...
Reaction Sony Won't Be Scared of Google Stadia in the Slightest
A wet fart
The punchline of today’s Stadia Connect stream is that Google tried to sell us on its vision of a game streaming future with a pre-recorded YouTube broadcast that had more macroblocking than a Minecraft map. The broadcast – fronted by former PlayStation executive Phil Harrison in a shirt and sneakers – failed to cash in on
Soapbox Why 3D Audio Will Be PS5's True Game Changer
Sound
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: diminishing returns. Whenever there’s a new console lurking around the corner, you can guarantee you’ll stumble upon at least one spoilsport, cynically proclaiming that video games have reached their peak. The insinuation is often that, even with all of the computational power in the world, it’s...
Feature Sony Won't Be at E3 2019, But Here Are 7 Reasons to Still Be Hyped
All aboard
With Push Square being a PlayStation website, we were feeling deflated when Sony confirmed that it wouldn't be at E3 this summer. We've grown so used to Sony ending the big publisher press conferences with a bang, but with the company skipping 2019's event, it's admittedly been difficult for us to get excited. Until now, that is. With E3...

Poll What Are Your Thoughts on the PS5?

Reaction Sony's Surprise PS5 Reveal Was a Stroke of Genius
Shock and awe
We’ve been here before, haven’t we? I remember the halcyon days of 2013, when a less jaded Sammy and a much smaller Push Square quivered with anticipation as Sony announced the PlayStation Meeting which would later play host to the PlayStation 4. The event was revealed days after a cunning Kaz Hirai had told a business broadsheet...

Guide The Elder Scrolls VI - Everything We Know So Far
Release date, setting, and platform
Bethesda officially announced The Elder Scrolls VI during its E3 2018 press conference with a very brief trailer. Studio boss Todd Howard talked about it for a short time, and suggested that it will be a next-gen title. That means it's almost certainly a PS5 game, rather than a PS4 title. In this guide,...
Poll What Year Should Sony Launch the PS5?
Next-gen predictions
So, Ubisoft popped up earlier this week and said that it doesn't expect the next generation of consoles to launch for at least another couple of years. In other words, the company doesn't think that Sony is going to release the PS5 until late 2019 at the earliest. The publisher promises it doesn't have any inside knowledge...
