News Japan Has a Killer PS4 Line Up Over the Next Few Months
Crazy new ad says it all
It's time for another crazy Japanese PlayStation television ad, so we hope that you've come prepared. Featuring a man who can only be described as incredibly enthusiastic, the clip highlights 16 titles coming to the PlayStation 4 before the year is out in Japan. Oh, and there's a mad mention of PlayStation VR as well...
Video Pop Pills with Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 on PS4
Pac attack
Pac-Man Championship Edition DX was one of the best games on the PlayStation 3, but can its successor build on near-perfection? The answer, of course, is no – but Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 is still a fun game. It adopts a more complicated take on the original's arcade action, encouraging you to "wake" sleeping ghosts in order to...
News Promising PlayStation VR Exclusive Farpoint Will Be Enhanced by PS4 Pro
Starship super
We've played PlayStation VR exclusive Farpoint on a standard PlayStation 4 console and it looks freakin' good – but it'll look even better on the PlayStation 4 Pro. As announced at Sony's PlayStation Meeting press conference last week, the first-person shooter will boast a "doubled pixel count" compared to the standard version when...
News Listen to the Full Final Fantasy XV Live at Abbey Road Performance
Music fit for a king
Good news if you missed last week's stream of Final Fantasy XV's soundtrack being performed live at Abbey Road Studios, as Square Enix has archived the footage, and we've embedded it above for your viewing pleasure.If you'll recall, the broadcast began just an hour before Sony's big PlayStation Meeting kicked off, so it kind of...
Video Set Phasers to Fun with Star Trek Online PS4 Gameplay
Live long and prosper
Star Trek Online launched on the PlayStation 4 this week, and we figured that we'd throw a Vulcan salute in the direction of the MMO so that you can see what all of the fuss is about. Liking what you see? Then trek on over to our YouTube channel where we host regular livestreams of the latest games.
News Will PS4 Pro Improve Games on Traditional 1080p HDTVs?
Yes, and here's a quick look at how
Sony will have learned a lot about PlayStation 4 Pro and how to market the machine this week, with the way it talks about traditional 1080p televisions being a crucial reality check. While the new hardware has clearly been designed to excel in 4K with HDR switched on, it's simply not true that the console will...
News PS4 Slim Is 'Whisper Quiet' According to Full Digital Foundry Report
Slim is smaller, cooler, and has better wifi
The tech heads over at Digital Foundry seem impressed with the PlayStation 4 Slim, stating that it's generally far, far quieter than standard PlayStation 4 models. It also consumes much less power, its surface doesn't get near as hot, and it boasts 5GHz wifi. Not bad for a console that's currently being...
News Japanese Ad Combines PS4 Slim and Persona 5, the Result Is Mental
Both release next week in Japan
Well, we don't really have much to say about this other than we... kind of like it. Maybe. Combining the PlayStation 4 Slim with Persona 5, both of which launch next week on the 15th September in Japan, Sony's crafted a rather crazy advert that we can't quite take our eyes off. It features singing, dancing, gameplay...
Video Battlefield 1 PS4 Gameplay Takes to the Trenches
Tanks very much
Battlefield 1 has always looked promising on PlayStation 4 - and now that we've had the chance to get stuck into DICE's World War I shooter, we'd love nothing more than to drag you lot down into the trenches with us. The video that we've embedded above consists of almost one hour's worth of beta gameplay, complete with brutal...
News Compete for the Mechanized Combat League Championship in RIGS on PS4
Sick rig
RIGS: Mechanized Combat League is comfortably the flagship PlayStation VR launch title, blending sports with shooting to create a Rocket League-esque experience. But while much of the marketing has centred on the game's multiplayer modes, Guerrilla Cambridge has announced the title's single player campaign today. This essentially sees you...
Video Trudging Through the Trenches of Verdun on PS4
That other World War I game
You've really got to feel for… Whoever the developer behind Verdun is. The team behind this World War I flavoured first-person shooter probably thought that it had come up with something original by turning back time all the way to 1914, only for Battlefield 1 to come and do the exact same thing with a bigger budget...
Video One Way Trip Is the Weirdest PS4 Game Yet
See it to believe it
Good luck, Stephen Tailby – that's all we've got to say. Our intrepid reviewer kindly volunteered to review One Way Trip, and he's probably wishing that he hadn't right about now. Deemed as a narrative-driven experience about life and death, this curious visual novel-esque thing is probably one of the strangest titles that...
Video Release Your Rage Burst with God Eater 2 PS4 Gameplay
Delicious deities
As you all know, there's no Monster Hunter on the PlayStation 4 just yet – well, unless you count that weird MMO thing that was announced in Japan over the weekend. Many publishers not named Capcom have been trying desperately to plug that gap on Sony's systems for some time as a result – with Koei Tecmo's Toukiden and Bandai...
News Sniff Out 20 Minutes of Watch Dogs 2 Gameplay on PS4
Life hack
Whaddup, dawg? Ubisoft has released almost 20 minutes of commentated Watch Dogs 2 gameplay, showcasing the structure of the upcoming open world adventure – and some of the new modes and mechanics that you can look forward to. The clip starts out by showing off new protagonist Marcus Holloway's upgraded hacking abilities, before moving...
News Fly Away with a Ton of Gravity Rush 2 PS4 Gameplay
Katnip
Are you upside down with anticipation for Gravity Rush 2 on the PlayStation 4? Then you may want to watch back this PlayStation Japan livestream, in which there's a bunch of new gameplay on display. Much of the stream centres on artwork and reference shots – still interesting, of course – but there is a lengthy look at a new dream-like...
Video Watch Us Try to Solve Simple Puzzles in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided on PS4
Up and Adam
Curse you block puzzle! Curse you to the deepest recesses of the Czech Republic! My Deus Ex: Mankind Divided livestream was going swimmingly until I happened upon a three brick brainteaser. Watch me get stumped all over again in the video embedded above.
Video You Really, Really Should Play Inside on PS4
Don't be on the outside
Whatever you think of our review policy here at Push Square Towers – and whether we should invest our biscuit budget into an office steering wheel – there's one thing that we can all agree: 10/10 review scores are rare. In fact, while some sites may use the upper-end of their scale liberally, we like to be a bit more...
Feature 5 PS4 Exclusives That Are Flying Under the Radar
Double-A
It's around this point in the generation where Sony's lineup really starts to swell, and we saw at E3 2016 earlier in the year that it's making a serious investment into exclusive PlayStation 4 software. With the likes of God of War, Spider-Man, and Horizon: Zero Dawn all on the way, the future looks bright for exclusives in this...
News Would You Kindly Watch Over 30 Minutes of BioShock on PS4?
All spliced up
Phwoar! These look good, don't they? 2K Games has released around ten minutes of footage from each game included in BioShock: The Collection, which is set to launch on the PlayStation 4 next month. And it's a reminder of just how unique these games were on the PlayStation 3. All three titles look amazing, but BioShock: Infinite's...
News Ride in Until Dawn: Rush of Blood's Rollercoaster of Death
Clown head
B*Witched and the Red Hot Chili Peppers may have sang about rollercoasters of love, but PlayStation VR exclusive Until Dawn: Rush of Blood's ghost train is a little rickety for romance. PlayStation Access has uploaded a pretty funny video of them checking out Supermassive Games' rails shooter, which includes ample screaming and...
Video Is Metrico+ on PS4 Off the Charts?
Sublime graph?
Metrico started life as a quirky infographic-inspired PlayStation Vita puzzle platformer, but it's now brought its love of pie charts to the PlayStation 4. You can read our full review of Digital Dreams' delicious looking adventure through here, but if you're after something a little more visual, we've embedded the first ten minutes...
Video Watch Us Ace Our Way Through Some Prominence Poker on PS4
Card to beat
Prominence Poker shuffled its way onto the PlayStation 4 this week, and we figured that we'd take a quick look at the free-to-play gambling sim. You can check out the archive from our livestream embedded above to see whether we were dealt a good hand – or if our chips were down.
News Here's How Resident Evil 4 Looks on the PS4
Leon! Leon!
Resident Evil 4 needs no introduction – it's one of the greatest games ever made, after all. And it's coming to the PlayStation 4 in just about a week's time, so Capcom has released the first ever gameplay footage of that version. Unsurprisingly, it looks a lot like… Well, Resident Evil 4. What were you expecting? At the end of...
News The PS4 Slim Looks Much, Much Nicer Than You Think It Does
Short and sweet
One of the reasons Sony's so keen to shut down leaked images of the PlayStation 4 Slim is because, typically, the amateur snaps aren't especially flattering. Indeed, the platform holder's unannounced console has been deemed ugly from every corner of the web based on the handful of photos released, but it looks much nicer in the...
News Leaked PS4 Slim Console Confirmed to Be Legit
Watch it powering up
We knew that last night's PlayStation 4 Slim leaks were legit – you don't get that many pictures from so many different angles without some level of authenticity. But as a few people have pointed out, in this age of 3D printers you can never be too careful. Digital Foundry decided to visit the person who purchased the console...
Video How Small Is the Rumoured PS4 Slim?
Size comparison
So, the PlayStation 4 Slim has leaked. Sony's yet to make a comment on these images just yet, but the sheer number of them taken from different angles suggests that they're almost certainly real – although nothing's legit until you hear it directly from the horse's mouth. That said, we have been in contact with someone who purports...
Video Wallrun Away with Some Titanfall 2 PS4 Gameplay
Mech fest
Titanfall 2's technical test launched on the PlayStation 4 this weekend, marking the first time that Respawn Entertainment's first-person shooter has been playable on a Sony system. While it's free for everyone to try over the next two weekends, we figured that we'd capture some gameplay footage for you to feast your eyes on. Embedded...
Gamescom 2016 DriveClub VR Looks Really Bloody Good on PS4
Start your engines
DriveClub was intended as a showpiece for the PlayStation 4, so it stands to reason that DriveClub VR will occupy the same role for PlayStation VR. Officially announced this week – after several sizeable leaks –
Gamescom 2016 Tour Sony's Booth with PlayStation Exec Jim Ryan
Guess who's back?
This is becoming an annual tradition now, isn't it? Sony may not be holding a press conference at Gamescom for the second year running, but at least we can rely on an uber-awkward Jim Ryan tour. German social media team Inside PlayStation has uploaded this lengthy look at everything that the Japanese giant's got on display this...
Video Crash Bandicoot's First PS4 Appearance Looks Awesome
Crash bash
We all collectively rolled our eyes when Crash Bandicoot was confirmed for Skylanders: Imaginators – after all, we all know how Activision treated fellow PlayStation favourite Spyro when this series started. But it looks like it's learned its lesson this time around: the Thumpin' Wumpa Island level that will appear as a timed exclusive...
Gamescom 2016 Destiny: Rise of Iron Loots 50 Minutes of Gameplay
Let there be light
Much like The Taken King, upcoming Destiny expansion Rise of Iron is shaping up to be a very solid addition to the game. Due out on the 20th September, the add-on features whole new areas, a new storyline, new Strikes, and a ton of new loot. Thankfully, if you just can't handle the hype, PlayStation Access has captured 50 whole...
News Get Over the Final Fantasy XV Delay with 50 Whole Minutes of Gameplay
Our best ever look at Noctis' adventure
Fair warning: there are some potential early-game spoilers in the gameplay that we've embedded below.

Following the game's two month delay, which was announced just the other day, it's...
Video Have a Gander at PS4 Firmware Update 4.00's Features
Guided tour
Sony released some screenshots of PlayStation 4 firmware update v4.00 yesterday, and we figured that we'd pick them apart in a super simple video for you. While we don't have access to any video footage yet – we'll get that when the beta goes live, no doubt – there's a lot to glean from the refresh's first batch of screenshots. One...
Video Bound Has Some of the Best Animations on PS4 Yet
Dancin', dancin'
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is a majestically animated game, but Polish demoscene dev Plastic's latest may just rival it. Bound's gameplay is based upon performance capture of real dancers, and the studio's done an incredible job of marrying these moves to gameplay – it's way more responsive than you could possibly imagine. We...
News Walk with VR Dinosaurs in Robinson: The Journey on PS4
Roar-some
Who hasn't dreamed of living alongside dinosaurs? This author was obsessed with prehistoric creatures as a boy, and we're sure that many of you were the same. Robinson: The Journey may have an awful name, then, but it promises to let you live out a lifelong fantasy – to walk with dinosaurs on an alien planet. The game very much appears...
Video Just How Beautiful Is No Man's Sky on PS4?
Very
No Man's Sky doesn't give you much direction and leaves you to find your own fun, so, while taking a break from collecting friggin' carbon, we decided to make this: a short video showing off some of the planets that we've visited in our playthrough thus far. It (hopefully) demonstrates the variety of Hello Games' infinite universe, while also...
Video Making a Murderer in Fahrenheit on PS4
Indigo prophecy
This author was running a different website when Fahrenheit (or Indigo Prophecy) released in 2005, and it really blew your humble host's mind. It kickstarted the soft spot that we have for French developer Quantic Dream; its games aren't perfect by any stretch, but it genuinely tries to push boundaries that so many others fear...
News No Man's Sky Does See Some Frame Rate Drops on PS4
As expected, to be honest
Our buds over at Digital Foundry are back for another performance analysis, and this time, they're putting the frame rate of No Man's Sky to the test. It's safe to say that when it comes to sandbox titles on PlayStation 4, we're used to seeing some frame rate dips here and there - and this is the case with Hello Games'...
Video Watch 45 Minutes of No Man's Sky PS4 Gameplay
Heridium, here we come
We've played a massive chunk of No Man's Sky – and we even recorded our opening exploits in the galaxy for you to enjoy. Embedded above is 45 minutes of PlayStation 4 gameplay taken directly from the opening moments of the game. Spoilers are light, but if you want to go into the experience blind, then approach carefully...
Video Unboxing No Man's Sky's Interstellar PS4 Media Kit
Out of this world
Media kits are weird things. On the one hand, let's not beat around the bush: they exist to buy an outlet's interest in a game. Fair enough. But one thing that's always bothered us – particularly when it comes to Sony's frankly amazing packages – is that someone, somewhere puts dozens of hours into designing these. And then...
Video Is PS2 Classic Ape Escape 2 Still Top Banana on PS4?
Do the monkey with us
Ape Escape 2 released on the PlayStation Store for the PS4 this week – and we've been monkeying around with it. The popular PlayStation 2 platformer definitely shows its age in the controls and presentation department, but it runs nicely on Sony's new-gen system, and the upscaled visuals actually hold up surprisingly well...
Video Does PS4 Dungeon Crawler Brut@l Kick ASCII?
"(◕‿◕)"
Throwback dungeon crawler Brut@l isn't set to launch on the PlayStation 4 until next week, but aware that a certain space sim is right around the corner, Scottish developer Stormcloud Games has allowed us to go live with our coverage a little earlier. Fortunately, the title stacks up nicely – a smart artstyle and some neat systems...
Video Dive Deep with 10 Minutes of ABZÛ PS4 Gameplay
Under the sea
We're never getting another Aquanaut's Holiday – more's the pity – but the beautiful ABZÛ should sate your deep sea diving appetite for the time being. The first game by Giant Squid – founded by Matt Nava of Journey and Flower fame – is a presentational tour-de-force, and it controls pretty darn nicely, too. There's some...
Video Take a Look at Free PlayStation Plus Game Tricky Towers
Stack attack
Tricky Towers will be free on PlayStation Plus next week – but is it any good? You've read Sam Brooke's excellent review – or at least we hope you have – but if you're looking for a bit of gameplay action, the video embedded above includes both single player and multiplayer footage. And yours truly couldn't resist throwing a quick...
News Marvel Ultimate Alliance PS4 Isn't a Particularly Heroic Port
Doesn't improve massively upon 2006 original
Marvel Ultimate Alliance and its sequel was excreted onto the PlayStation Store this week, presumably as Activision scrambles to fulfil its contractually obliged quota of comic book-themed releases. And lo and behold, the port kinda sucks. Digital Foundry's dug out its ol' framerate ticker yet again and...
News Ninja Theory's Really Innovating with Hellblade on PS4
Real-time cinematography will blow your mind
Ninja Theory, much like Naughty Dog and Quantic Dream, has always been at the forefront of motion capture – but some of the stuff that it's doing with Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is frankly insane. In this video detailing its Siggraph 2016 award-winning real-time cinematography technique, it...
Video How We Picked PS4's Top 20 Games
Compromise is key
Last week we listed out the Top 20 PlayStation 4 games, and now we're back to explain our decisions. Well, sort of. In the video embedded above, your humble host talks through all of the titles that made our shortlist, and sheds a little insight into why some releases are above others. It's a long watch so you may want to make a...
News Horizon: Zero Dawn's Collector's Edition Statue Looks Tasty
Aloy-oy
There wasn't a massive amount at this year's San Diego Comic-Con to entertain PlayStation 4 fans, but IGN did shoot a quick video with this tasty looking Aloy statue inspired by Horizon: Zero Dawn. This is, of course, the model that you get with the Collector's Edition of the game, which can be pre-ordered for around £104.99/$119.99. In...
News Sonic Mania Is the PS4 Sequel You've Spent Your Adult Life Yearning For
Spin master
After the godawful Sonic the Hedgehog 4, it looks like SEGA has finally figured out a way of making a 2D Sonic title befitting of the Blue Blur's legacy. Due out on the PlayStation 4 next year, Sonic Mania looks like it's fallen straight out of the mid-90s, with "happening" electro tunes and some "lit" sprite work. GameSpot's stumbled...
Video We Unboxed a Brand New PocketStation
Because why not?
With our attempts at creating meaningful YouTube content either drawing indifference or ire, we figured that we'd do something really dumb today – like, unbox a brand new Sony PocketStation dumb. Your humble host snagged this on eBay a few years ago, and it's been sitting in its packet ever since. Why? Because… Well, that...
