News These New Dragon's Dogma Online PS4 Screenshots Have Us Desperate to Try It
Monster hunting
Assuming Dragon's Dogma Online's free-to-play model doesn't sour the overall experience, the biggest worry that we have right now is that we'll never actually get to play it — or at least, we won't get to play it in English. The title's newest screenshots look rather good, showing off some of the monsters that you'll be going...

News Here's a Very Quick Tease To Get You Hyped for Persona 5's Supposed Showing
Would you look at that
This is going to be a pretty short article, mainly because it consists of a single picture that was found by Twitter user @snowdust_sky. With the marathon Persona stream still going on, we're slowly but surely reaching the end of a countdown that's supposedly tied to Persona 5. What'll happen when the clock hits zero? We're...

News Dragon Age: Inquisition's PS4 and PS3 Patch Means More Party Banter
Tell me more
It's been out for a little while on PC now, but consoles have finally nabbed Dragon Age: Inquisition's rather hefty patch. The download makes dozens of tweaks to little bits and pieces of the role-playing game, and as such, it doesn't fix or add anything too significant. That said, a common complaint from fans regarding a lack of party...
News Call of Duty, Alien: Isolation, and More Discounted in EU PS4, PS3, and Vita Sale
Feeling flush?
Sony's sales on the European PlayStation Store are getting bigger and better, so it's no surprise to see hundreds of items discounted as part of this week's promotions.

News An Amazing Fireteam Managed to Beat Destiny's Hardest Raid Without Once Firing a Gun
What?
You need a group of six people to tackle Destiny's Raids efficiently, and even then, they can be pretty bloody tough. Filled with hordes of powerful enemies, demanding environments, and deadly bosses, the shooter's hardest challenges are where the elite love to show off their skills, but we reckon this run, in which one particular team never...
Game of the Month January 2015
And so it begins
2015's first month didn't provide that much to write home about, but that didn't stop our internal staff vote from being a very close affair. Contrary to popular opinion, zombies haven't quite gone out of date yet, as two horror titles featured on our shortlist, while two never-before-seen-on-PlayStation remasters entered the...
Store Update 4th February 2015 (Europe)
Greek tragedy
There are no major surprises on the European PlayStation Store this week, as the highlights are very much the same as those in yesterday's North American refresh. Apotheon is the headline addition, followed closely by Game of Thrones: Episode 2. Outside of those, PlayStation Vita owners can look forward to
News Bungie Shoots a Few Holes in Destiny's House of Wolves Expansion Leak
Pew pew
We know everyone loves a good leak, especially when it's a big game under the spotlight, but a lot of the time, these rumours are shot down before they can really gather momentum. That's not quite what's happened regarding Destiny and yesterday's House of Wolves leak, but developer Bungie's tried putting a dampener on it anyway. Dousing the...
News Far Cry 4 Drives PlayStation 4 Sales Forward in Japan
Min-t
It's been a bit of a slow start to the year for the PlayStation 4 in Japan, but Sony's got an impressive slate of software lined up, and it's kickstarted things this week with the overseas release of Far Cry 4. According to Media Create numbers, Ajay Ghale's adventure sold 36,239 units on the next-gen console last week, almost double what it...
News LEGO Jurassic World's Teaser Trailer Will Make Jaws Drop
Blast from the past
There may be more LEGO games on the market than you can possibly imagine, but we're not complaining as long as they continue to be quirky and enjoyable adventures for all ages — at least on home consoles. Snark aside, publisher Warner Bros. has released LEGO Jurassic World's teaser trailer, and we're not ashamed to admit that...

News Just the 45 Million Units Sold for Grand Theft Auto V Now
Taking BAWSAQ by storm
Publishers must look at Grand Theft Auto V and weep, as the blockbuster sandbox game has now sold an absolutely staggering 45 million units. To be clear: this statistic is accurate as of 31st December, and represents the number of copies offloaded to stores, not necessarily in consumers' homes. Of course, it's still a...
Store Update 3rd February 2015 (North America)
Plus one
The weekly North American PlayStation Store update is an institution here at Push Square Towers, as we pop on our favourite Britney Spears record, and set to work formatting the most tedious article in existence.

Please be excited
Admit it: you thought that we were going to miss this edition of Out This Week, didn't you? We've been pretty steadfast with our New Year's Resolutions so far, but the absence of Push Rewind on Sunday – in lieu of a timely Dying Light review – means that we've broken our personal promise, which is to be a bit more consistent...
Rumour Destiny's Second Expansion House of Wolves Will Enter Orbit in May
Howling at the moon
We may not have been the biggest fans of Destiny's first expansion, The Dark Below, but we must admit that its second attempt, House of Wolves, sounds better already. We won't post any of the images here on this page, but according to a supposed leak on the ever-informative Reddit, the DLC will launch in May, and it'll push the...

Feature What Do You Mean You've Never Played... Yakuza 4?
We look back at this month's PlayStation Plus freebie
Every time that we mention Yakuza 4, or indeed, the Yakuza series as a whole, there's always at least one person who chirps in and says that they've never played it – and in the worst case scenarios, that they've never even heard of it. Well, it's time to educate yourself, because Yakuza 4 is...
News There Are More Mortal Kombat Kollector's Editions Than Decapitated Limbs
Get outta here
No major release is complete without a collector's edition, but Mortal Kombat X is getting more than its fair share. Warner Bros has announced a slew of premium packages that you'll be able to purchase for its forthcoming fighter, with prices ranging from expensive to very expensive. This is beyond komplicated, so bear with us while...
News Will Dead or Alive 5: Last Round Be a Knockout on PS4 and PS3 Later This Month?
Down and out
We've only just posted a rather steamy video for Senran Kagura Estival Versus, so when we saw Dead or Alive 5: Last Round's launch trailer pop up on our feeds, we thought that it may have been time to crack open an office window or two. Fortunately, we haven't had to leave the safety of our cluttered desks, as the brawler's newest...

A pirate's life
We hope that you're ready for an unspeakable amount of action, because publisher Bandai Namco has opened a treasure chest full to the brim with One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 screenshots. Flicking through the pictures, it's clear to see that the brawler has benefited from the jump to PlayStation 4, as it looks rather pretty in places...
News Borderlands Multiplayer Makes a Quiet Return on PS3
Sound the Siren
The forthcoming PlayStation 4 port Borderlands: The Handsome Collection will not include the original Borderlands, so franchise fans may be relieved to learn that multiplayer has been patched back in to the ageing PlayStation 3 release. The title was rendered offline-only following GameSpy's closure last year, but Gearbox has teamed...
News Dragon Ball Xenoverse Features a New Villain, Laugh at His Hair at Your Own Peril
Back in fashion
Dragon Ball is full of bizarre and, quite frankly, brilliant hairdos, but we reckon Dragon Ball Xenoverse's latest original character takes the biscuit. His name's Demigra, and apparently, he's the true mastermind behind the powerful, even-more-evil versions of your favourite fighters, and not a variation of a Final Fantasy spell...
News Watch Teens Get Choked Up by The Last of Us' Opening Scene
Tissues required
If you thought that The Fine Bros' reaction videos were designed to make you feel old, then this latest clip has a much more contemporary vibe. In it, a rabble of teenagers play through the opening scene of The Last of Us, and it serves as a powerful reminder of just how touching Naughty Dog's creation can be, as they almost all...
News UK Sales Charts: There Ain't Nothing to See Here
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare back on top
Dying Light should, by right, have given the UK sales charts a bit of shake up this week, but seeing as it only released digitally in Europe last Wednesday, brace yourselves for a familiar top ten. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare did manage to strong arm Grand Theft Auto V from the summit, following a series...

Don't make us beg
Ever since its initial reveal, we've been desperately waiting on word of Dragon Quest Heroes heading West, and today, publisher Square Enix has given us our first hint that the hack and slasher may be journeying overseas. Japanese publication Game Watch questioned the company at the recent Taipei Game Show, and regarding a Western...
News PSN Offline Again, Sony Investigating Outage Issues
Down for the count
Cancel those late night Dying Light co-op sessions, as the PlayStation Network has been plunged into darkness yet again.

We've just had a

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 54
Every day and night, babe
Ah, the weekend – that pleasant period of the week where we get to hang up our work clothes, and sit around playing games in our pants. Oh, and when we say 'pants', we mean the British definition of the word, and not the oddball American meaning. Is that enough padding for this opening paragraph? Yeah, looks good –...
News Ermac's Got Your Back in Mortal Kombat X on PS4, PS3
Not an error
Ermac may have started life as a mere Mortal Kombat bug, but he's very much a fully fleshed out fighter these days – and will be making his triumphant return in the forthcoming Mortal Kombat X on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. As promised, developer NetherRealm Studios announced the character as part of a livestream overnight,...
Round Up Life Is Strange PS4, PS3 Reviews Aren't Out of the Ordinary
Mad Max
Given the success of The Walking Dead, it's a surprise that other developers are only just jumping on the episodic bandwagon. With the output of developer Telltale Games starting to get a teensy bit predictable, though, we're really curious to see French developer DONTNOD's take on the format. We've got a reviewer whizzing through episode...
News Almost Every Playable Character in Dragon Ball Xenoverse Smashes into Its Newest Trailer
The boys are back in town
Recently, it was revealed that Dragon Ball Xenoverse would feature 47 playable characters, excluding those that you create yourself, and while cramming that rather large cast into one seven minute trailer would be incredibly difficult, the brawler's tried its best to fit as many fighters as possible into its latest video...
News MLB 15 The Show Targets Fourth Base on PS4, PS3, and Vita
Come out swinging
It's not getting as much attention as The Order: 1886 or Bloodborne, but MLB 15 The Show is unlikely to be anything but a homerun for Sony San Diego. The latest entry in the seminal sporting series will round out a sensational few months for the Japanese manufacturer, and in order to build some excitement, community manager Ramone...

Locked and loaded
Battlefield Hardline's delayed launch is now fast approaching, and somewhat unsurprisingly, publisher EA has announced that there will be an open beta on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Shooter enthusiasts should be happy to know that the download will be available sooner than you may have thought, too, as it'll be catching...

News You're Not Sick of LEGO Games, Are You?
Jurassic World, Marvel's Avengers, and more on the way
While the likes of Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed frequently get lambasted for being annualised, Warner Bros seems to have gotten away with milking LEGO like a particularly profitable cash cow. Last year saw the release of four fresh toy-based adaptations, and we'll be getting a further three...
News Dragon's Dogma Online Sure Looks Spectacular on PS4, PS3
Sick as a dogma
The phrase free-to-play may have prompted you to turn your nose up at Dragon's Dogma Online, but the forthcoming PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 role-playing game looks every inch the co-operative series successor that you've been waiting for. In this brand new trailer, you'll see groups of four warriors taking on increasingly large...

News Sony Tempting Fate with Friday 13th New York Event
Will announce new PlayStation initiative
PlayStation MVPs are essentially Sony super fans who get invited to various internal events as a reward for being top-tier consumers. They're also occasionally privy to information that they're not supposed to publicly share – like this email that popped up on NeoGAF earlier this evening. We suspect that a...

Getting hot in here
This week's Famitsu magazine seems to have blown open the recently announced Dragon's Dogma Online, and we've got a few scans from the publication to prove it. Obviously there's not too much that you can learn from the images unless you can read Japanese, but we reckon that the lovely pictures make them worth studying. Indeed,...

News You'll Be Able to Pay to Reanimate Yourself in Resident Evil: Revelations 2
Dead rising
Who doesn't love a good microtransaction? Capcom caused the web to pull out their pitchforks this week by announcing that Resident Evil: Revelations 2 will feature premium Life Crystals, which you'll be able to use to reanimate yourself should you die in the forthcoming survival horror's Raid Mode. We can't bear the tension. To be fair,...

Manny, oh man
This week's North American PlayStation Store update is all about the addition of two new titles: Dying Light and Grim Fandango Remastered. The heavy hitters have some company in Life Is Strange (out on Friday) and the verbose Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation – but we suspect that it's the aforementioned that will...
News The Last of Us Movie Will Make Some 'Big Changes' to the Original Story
As you'd expect
Trying to cram a title that can take almost 20 hours to complete into a two hour movie can't be easy, but The Last of Us' big screen adaptation sounds like it's coming along quite nicely, according to the game's director and ever-present interviewee, Neil Druckmann. Speaking to Game Informer, Druckmann reveals that he's "just...

Sssplendid
Although the illustrious Ed Boon previously teased that new fighters for Mortal Kombat X would be revealed on 29th January, it seems that NetherRealm Studios couldn't wait, as an exclusive IGN video has confirmed that Reptile will be joining the roster. After a hilarious, short spat between Kung Lao and his scaly adversary, we get a look...
Mmm, zesty
Although they've got a sizeable and loyal fan base here in the West, the Tales games have never been as popular as they are in their native Japan. That trend doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon, either, as the latest instalment in the franchise, Tales of Zestiria, has sold over 400,000 copies in its homeland since it launched. It's...

News PS4 and PS3 Brawler Dragon Ball Xenoverse Will Have 47 Playable Characters
Rock the dragon
Dragon Ball is stuffed full of brilliantly designed and stupidly powerful heroes and villains, so it's always a bit of a disappointment when a licensed release comes up short on the character roster side of things. Fortunately, Dragon Ball Xenoverse's selection doesn't sound too bad. The game's Amazon Japan listing states that it...

For the record: when we suggested that Mortal Kombat X was silly in a controversial article last week, we meant it in the best possible way – everyone here at Push Square Towers adores the zaniness of NetherRealm Studios' premier punch up. Hence, we're excited to learn which new kombatants will be joining the chaos...

Sony teases 'good selection'

News These Dragon Ball Xenoverse Combo Videos Just Get Better and Better
Back for more
Much of Dragon Ball's identity comes from its lightning fast battles, in which dreadfully powerful individuals smack the absolute stuffing out of each other in the most stylish way that you can imagine, and upcoming brawler Dragon Ball Xenoverse seems to be capturing that identity very well. It's only a short video, but the game's...

Just when you thought that Saints Row couldn't get any more unpredictable, it goes and parodies Top Gear, complete with Jeremy Clarkson-like commentary and a faceless racer known as the Stag.

Rumour Could Call of Duty: World at War II Be Treyarch's Next Title?
Suit up, soldier
The rumour mill's in overdrive right now, but our bullturd detector reckons that this is just about on the right side of plausible – until proven otherwise, anyway. Earlier in the week, an image appeared on the web hinting that Call of Duty: World at War II would be revealed on 4th May. While it looked professional enough, it's...
Poll What Will You Be Spending Your 10 Per Cent PSN Discount On?
Decisions, decisions
When you really stop and think about it, Sony's "apology" for the PlayStation Network outage over Christmas is a bit of a marketing masterstroke.

News Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's Release Date Is Edging Ever Closer
Boxed in
Seeing as Hideo Kojima's big Christmas announcement turned out to be a chicken cap rather than a release date, we're still none the wiser regarding Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's hotly anticipated PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 deploy date. Fortunately, developer Kojima Productions has hinted as part of its weekly webcast that

There's usually a standout for Pick of the Week, but we're really struggling to choose a favourite this time. Sure, you could make the argument that Saints Row IV: Re-Elected is little more than a re-release, but it comes with Gat Out of Hell, which is brand new. On the flipside, Resident Evil is nothing but a lowly port, too...
News Sengoku Basara 4: Sumeragi Brings Over-The-Top Samurai Action to PS4
In Japan at least
The Sengoku Basara series is returning to the fray this Summer, as its newest instalment slashes onto the PS4 and PS3. Named Sengoku Basara 4: Sumeragi, the update will feature forty playable characters, and the PS4 version will run in 60 frames-per-second at 1080p — which sounds rather glorious. For anyone who's out of the...
News Apologetic PlayStation Plus Extensions Being Rolled Out Now
Five free days of service
If you were one of the millions of people impacted by the PlayStation Network outage over Christmas, then you'll no doubt be wondering where your compensation has got to. Fortunately, platform holder Sony has announced that it's started rolling out five day PlayStation Plus extensions to all members now. You'll only be...
News Everyone's Entitled to 10 Per Cent Off the PlayStation Store This Weekend
Wallets at the ready
Christmas may be gone, but the gifts keep coming. As part of Sony's apology for the PlayStation Network outage over the holidays, the platform holder has announced that you'll be able to use your pledged 10 per cent discount voucher this weekend in both Europe and North America. The offer will open at 09:00AM local time on 23rd...
The times are changing
Bandai Namco recently sent out its North American team to interview Dragon Ball Xenoverse's developers at Japan's Jump Festa 2015, and the result is the rather insightful video that we've embedded. Sporting a spot of new in-game footage and some fresh story details, it's well worth a watch if you're interested in the upcoming...
News The Combos You Can Pull Off in Dragon Ball Xenoverse Look Absolutely Devastating
And stay down
It's only a short trailer, but Dragon Ball Xenoverse's latest shows off the game's combo potential. From Super Saiyan 3 Goku to Nappa, linking up your attacks looks fantastic, and it's probably great for whacking whole chunks out of your enemy's health bar. Our favourite part has to be when Goku smacks Kid Buu right in the face, which...
News What Actually Comes with Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin on PS4, PS3?
Deadly confused
While Street Fighter IV may hold the championship belt for confusing re-releases, the upcoming PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 update Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin seems like a strong contender. If your head is spinning pondering whether you should upgrade, however, don't worry, as we have you covered in a handy guide...
News Don't Grenade Yourself to Progress in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
The ban hammer awaits
We're quite prone to the odd misplaced grenade in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, but apparently there are worse butter fingers than us. Unfortunately, those with slippy digits are using this 'ailment' to their advantage, committing suicide over and over again in order to get ranked with lower level players. The idea is that...
News UK Sales Charts: Grand Theft Auto V Sits Pretty at Summit
Déjà vu
Zzzzz. Forget about the Green Day song Wake Me Up When September Ends, we're writing a new version, and it's called Wake Me Up When the UK Sales Charts Change. There are no surprises in this week's update, with Grand Theft Auto V, FIFA 15, and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare all finishing at the top. Ubisoft trio Far Cry 4, The Crew, and...
Push Rewind Dying Light Delays, PSN Sales, and The Order: 1886
Wakey wakey
Hello there, Push Rewind – fancy seeing you here. Yes, it's been a little while since we've run one of these, primarily because there wasn't much going on over Christmas – but also because we had to adapt the logo ever so slightly to reflect the brand new branding. There's not an enormous amount to recap this week, so we'll keep...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 52
Running late
Wow! It's been a breakneck, busy, bananas kind of week behind-the-scenes here at Push Square Towers, so apologies if our usual programming schedule has been a bit all over the place. The exciting news is that Monday's bureaucracy paved the way for Friday's exuberance, so this author is sitting here with a renewed sense of enthusiasm...
News Destiny and Minecraft Topped 2014's PSN Sales Charts
Act surprised
Another day, another chance to find out 2014 sales data. This time it's quite interesting, though, as Sony has shared lists of the best selling titles on the PlayStation Network. In North America, Destiny blasted the competition and landed in first place on PS4, while in Europe, Minecraft dug its way to victory on every single console...
News Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell's Launch Trailer Is Even More Ridiculous Than We Imagined
Fly Johnny, fly
Saints Row IV was an utterly ridiculous experience, and developer Volition seems keen to carry that tone through the series' upcoming expansion, Gat Out of Hell. Of course, we knew that already, but the standalone DLC's launch trailer still managed to surprise us. The video's full of dumb, crass humour and stupid selling points, but...
News If Yakuza Zero Doesn't Come West, We'll Cry Manly Tears
Kamurocho calling
If you're a regular Push Square reader, then you'll know that we're massive fans of the Yakuza franchise. A drama-filled series that plays a lot like an action RPG, the games explore stories that are entwined in the underbelly of one of Japan's seediest fictional districts. Yakuza Zero is the latest instalment, and after watching...
News Ubisoft Developer Reckons Watch Dogs Has "a Lot of Room for Improvement"
Howling at the moon
When Watch Dogs released last year, we thought that it was a pretty solid sandbox romp, but like many games that had come before it, there was enough to improve upon to make us think that an inevitable sequel would end up being the real highlight. Fortunately, creative director Jonathan Morin agrees with us. In an interview with...
News December NPD: Sony Looking to Momentous 2015 as PS4 Sits in Second Place
Still best selling box of 2014
There was no major upset in the December NPD report, as the PlayStation 4 slumped to its second defeat of the calendar year. Sony's system was on top for the first ten months of 2014, but lost out to Microsoft's major Xbox One price promotions in November - and that continued through December, too. Despite this, its...
News DriveClub Was the UK's Best Selling Exclusive of 2014
Pulling ahead
It may come as a shock to many, but DriveClub, the PlayStation 4 exclusive racer that was plagued by launch issues, was the UK's best selling exclusive game of 2014. The full list, which comes from MCV, takes console bundles into account, but doesn't follow digital sales, so we can probably assume that the gorgeous drive-'em-up sold by...
News Try Not to Laugh at This Mortal Kombat X Trailer
Mindless violence
Mortal Kombat has always been dumber than a 90s Jim Carrey movie, but the series did go through a period where it took itself a teensy bit too seriously. Fortunately, there's no danger of that occurring in the forthcoming PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 sequel Mortal Kombat X, as this absolutely hilarious trailer evidences. In it,...
