Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 320
Snow joke
Goodness gracious, WAYP seems to come around quicker every single week. We’re not sure whether it’s lockdown or not, but it feels like the days are flying by faster than ever before – it’s almost May, for crying out loud! Sammy Barker, Editor: I’ll be overcoming the ice in SnowRunner this weekend, as I’ve volunteered to...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Final Fantasy VII Remake?
The reunion
It's been a week since the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake, and we assume that many of you will have completed the game by now -- or at least come close. With that in mind, we're here to ask you for a review score. Is Final Fantasy VII Remake on PS4 everything that you hoped it would be? Or is it a huge disappointment? We need to...
Soapbox The Sims 4 Is a Travesty on PS4
Escapism at its worst
The Sims may have been usurped by Minecraft and Fortnite in recent years, but I grew up as part of the generation that was obsessed with The Sims 2. I’m not afraid to admit that it’s been a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine over the years: I sunk countless hours into the PC version growing up, but also owned copious...
Talking Point What Do You Want PS5 DualSense's Create Button to Do?
Making magic
It doesn’t get half the credit it deserves, but the PlayStation 4’s ingenious Share button is comfortably the greatest innovation of the current generation. The oft-pushed input allows you to store screenshots and short video clips, which can then be shared directly to social media. It also enables you to broadcast gameplay directly...
Soapbox Final Fantasy VII Remake's Cloud Goes From Hero to Zero in a Single Side Quest
Liam pulls a 180 on soldier boy
Update: Here at Push Square, we're more than happy to admit when we got something wrong. This is one of those rare occasions. It has become clear that Cloud was instead trying to spur the old man on to do something with his life, so let's discuss how I, a newcomer to the game, didn't pick up on that. Does Final...
Poll Do You Think Ghost of Tsushima Will Be Delayed Too?
Samurai showdown
Following the unfortunate delays to The Last of Us: Part II and Marvel's Iron Man VR, the release calendar for AAA titles on PlayStation 4 is looking rather barren.

Guide 15 Secret Things You Might Not Know Your PS4 Can Do
PlayStation 4's best kept secrets
The PlayStation 4 is nearing the end of its lifespan, and over the years it's changed quite a lot. Through countless system software updates, Sony has added all kinds of bells and whistles to the console's interface -- so many, in fact, that a lot of people may not even be aware of some of them. No matter how long...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 319
Pick your poison
We don’t know what the weather’s like in your part of the world, but it’s beautiful here in Britain. It’s typical, then, that after over six months of wind and rain, none of us can go outside. Still, it’s great news for that backlog of yours. Here’s what we’re playing. Sammy Barker, Editor: When was the last time I...
Poll Did You Buy Final Fantasy VII Remake?
And have you played the original?
Can you believe that Final Fantasy VII Remake is actually here? Crazy, isn't it? Now we just have to wait another 15 years for Square Enix to finish the story! No, but jokes aside, Final Fantasy VII Remake is a great action role-playing game -- as pointed out in our review -- and we can't wait to see how many...
Reaction DualSense Reveals Sony's Unrivalled Ambition for PS5
Going further
You could forgive Sony for offering more of the same with the PlayStation 5 – after all, its current generation console is one of the most successful platforms of all time. While the PlayStation 4 will be hard pushed to match the PlayStation 2’s astronomical install base, it will end the generation much more profitable, thanks to...
Soapbox Why You Must Play Uncharted 4 While It's Free on PS Plus
Drake believe
Linger around the right social media circles and you could be forgiven for thinking Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is one of the worst games ever released. Whether it’s the meteoric rise of Naughty Dog or the fact that it’s a PlayStation 4 exclusive, this title receives some of the most hyperbolic ire online – and considering the...
Feature Why PS5 Has Got Us So Hyped
The new features we can't wait for
The world may seem bleak right now, but in PlayStation 5 there’s lots for us to look forward to. Sony may not have done a particularly good job of unveiling the system so far, but behind architect Mark Cerny’s recent sermon are some i

Codemasters' DiRT Rally 2.0 is here, and you may have heard that it's pretty darn good.

Soapbox I Wish I Was Growing Up with Games Now
Nostalgia is a helluva drug
It’s so easy to look back at games with rose-tinted glasses, I think. I wouldn’t change my childhood gaming experiences for the world; my jaw hit the floor when I first saw Crash Bandicoot’s N. Sanity Beach on the PS1, and I engaged in a six month adventure with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo...

Poll Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for April 2020?
Plus or minus?
April 2020's PlayStation Plus games have been officially announced. As per usual, subscribers are getting two PlayStation 4 titles: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, and Dirt Rally 2.0. Both games were actually leaked well ahead of schedule thanks to a rogue YouTube upload. We reckon it's a great offering, assuming that you haven't already...
Guide Best Resident Evil Games Ranked
What're ya rankin?
Resident Evil is one of those classic franchises which will more than likely keep on going until either Capcom or the video game industry is no more.

Did you play Persona 5?
Persona 5 Royal is finally available here in the West on PlayStation 4, and if you haven't already seen our review, we absolutely loved it.

Wow, 2020 is flying by, isn't it? We're already a quarter of the way through the year, and it's already been enormously eventful.

Feature DriveClub Delisted and Taken Offline - Let's Talk About One of PS4's Best Racers
Evolution indeed
DriveClub has had quite the journey, hasn't it? The ill-fated Evolution Studios produced this equally ill-fated PlayStation 4 exclusive racer, and to say it's had a rough time of it would be an understatement. Its time on the road has almost come to an end, as Sony has delisted the title from the PlayStation Store. More than that,...
Round Up Resident Evil 3 PS4 Reviews Reveal Remake Doesn't Quite Relive Last Year's Success
The fault in our STARS
The review embargo for Resident Evil 3 has just dropped, and we're seeing all the scores rolling in right now. Unfortunately, the general consensus on this remake isn't quite as strong as it was for 2019's Resident Evil 2 revival. It's not all doom and gloom, but this sequel doesn't quite reach the same heights as Leon and...
Poll Should Free PS4 Games Be Given Away to Those in Isolation?
Vault hunter
April 2020’s PS Plus update is shaping up to be a corker, with the free PS4 games including Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and DiRT Rally 2.0. Those two titles alone should keep you occupied if you’re in isolation, but with publishers such as
Reaction PS5 Will Solve All Your PS4 Pet Peeves Once and for All
Fixing the future
Isn’t it funny how fast we forget? The PlayStation 4 felt like a revolution after almost a decade of PlayStation 3’s unwieldy game installs and barely functional PlayStation Store, but Sony’s current-gen console is considered tedious by contemporary standards. Huge patches, update copying, and a flaky operating system have...

Soapbox All I Want the PS5 to Do Is Track My Play Time Across Games
Liam wants the stats
I, surely amongst others, really enjoy tracking how much time I've sunk into a video game. From the grand looter shooters of Destiny 2 and The Division 2 through to huge RPGs such as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age, I always like to take note how of many hours I've played them for. I'll...

Poll Does PS5's Teraflop Disadvantage Matter to You?
We appreciate power
Ah, teraflops. Where would we be without them? Well, truth be told, we'd probably just be comparing some other number that means very little to the vast majority of people who eventually go out and buy a next-gen console -- but that's not the point. We now know the on-paper technical specifications for both the PlayStation 5 and...

Stylish skeletons, realism, and Dreams within Dreams?

Poll Do You Plan on Buying a PS5 After Sony's Deep Dive Video?

Reaction PS5 Deep Dive Was As Expected, But Was Shockingly Misjudged
