News Techland Delays Dying Light 2 Again, Now Coming February 2022
Time needed for polish and optimisation
December release dates are always a bit dodgy; the games always feel like they're either going to make it or be delayed to March the following year without any in-between. Dying Light 2, originally scheduled for 7th December 2021, falls into the latter category. Techland delayed the open world zombie title to...
News Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.31 Includes PS5, PS4 Memory Optimisation, Yet More Bug Fixes
Bit by bit
Available to download right now on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, Cyberpunk 2077 patch 1.31 isn't the game's most significant update, but it is yet another step forward. The patch notes mention further memory optimisation on PlayStation consoles, which should help with technical performance. Again. Indeed, Cyberpunk 2077 released...
News Shatter Remake Targeting Release in Early 2022
Could come to PS5, PS4
The PlayStation 3 arcade classic Shatter is receiving a remake in case you weren't aware, and now we know to expect it at some point early next year. This is all thanks to a random forum thread made back in August 2018 asking for the game to be remade, and developer MarioW on the site has kept fans up to date since. At the...
The top 22
EA Sports has revealed the top 22 players in FIFA 22 (see what they did there?) as per this year's player ratings. All of the in-game stats are based on The Ratings Collective, which is a football scouting network, but there's no doubt that the rankings will spark a lot of discussion — as they do every year. So, who's top of the pile?...
News LittleBigPlanet PS3, Vita Servers Shut Down to Combat Hacker Issues
LBP 3 still online on PS4
It's been a while since Sony has offered an update on the LittleBigPlanet debacle. As a reminder, a disgruntled fan of the franchise launched a DDOS attack on LittleBigPlanet 3, taking the game offline. While studio Sony XDEV said it was looking into the technical troubles, it appears that
News Cristiano Ronaldo, Jack Grealish Among the Ones to Watch in FIFA 22's Ultimate Team
Twitter transfer sensation Fabrizio Romano makes trailer
Returning Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo and new Manchester City recruit Jack Grealish are among the Ones to Watch in FIFA 22’s Ultimate Team. The Portuguese and English stars will be joined by Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku, Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konaté, and Real Madrid’s David...
News God of War Ragnarok's Camera Is a Single Shot from Start to Finish, Just Like the Last Game
Impressive, boy
2018's God of War is an excellent game for many reasons, but one of its most unique aspects is its cinematography. From the very start of the adventure to the closing sequence, the camera never once cuts — it's one seamless shot all the way through, whether it's gameplay or a cutscene. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it looks as though God...
News F1 2021 Post-Launch DLC Roadmap Revealed, Portimao Grand Prix Available Today
Missing tracks arrive before the end of the season
F1 2021 is an excellent racing game and a great simulation of the motorsport, but it has one or two missing pieces to make it truly definitive. While the title launched with most of this season's Grand Prix courses included, three tracks were notably absent. Of course, Codemasters promised to bring...
News UK Sales Charts: New Releases Like Tales of Arise Selling Best on PS5
New releases enter the top 10
There were a number of new game releases last week, and of the ones arriving on multiple platforms, the lion's share of physical sales went to the PlayStation 5 versions. In the UK's latest retail chart, at least. Tales of Arise debuts in second place, and PS5 copies account for 58 per cent, while the PS4 version comes...
Poll Did You Buy Tales of Arise?
A new Tale to tell
Tales of Arise is here, and we think it's very, very good. The Japanese role-playing game went above and beyond our expectations, and we awarded it a 9/10 in our Tales of Arise PS5 review. Safe to say we recommend it, but as is always the case with a big release, we want to know whether you've actually bought a copy. Going by the...
News Gran Turismo 7's PS5, PS4 Campaign Requires an Online Connection
Bandwidth beggar
Gran Turismo 7’s refreshed single player campaign aims to capture the spirit of old games – in all but one area. As noted in small print on the PlayStation Blog, you’ll need an “Internet connection” in order to enjoy the solo experience, as well as its car collecting GT Café mode and Livery Editor. Presumably this game is...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 393
Silly season starts now
We've finally arrived in silly season! Oh yes, it's games galore for the next ten weeks or so, which means busy-busy Push Square staff members. And that means lots and lots of games for you, too. Sammy Barker, Editor: Realistically, I can't see myself playing anything other than NBA 2K22 this weekend. With review code...
Site News NBA 2K22 PS5, PS4 Review - Where Is It?
It's coming, a'ight
We’ve already published our Tales of Arise PS5 review and Life Is Strange: True Colors PS5 review, so you may be wondering where our NBA 2K22 review is. This one is going to take a little while, we’re afraid: that’s because due to the online nature of the release we only received review code until about an hour before...
News Far Cry 6 Post-Launch Plans Include Classic Villains, Stranger Things, and Danny Trejo
Free and premium DLC roadmap is wild
One of the best parts of any given Far Cry game is its post-release support. These games might be a little bit samey, but Ubisoft pushes the franchise into some pretty insane scenarios, providing some wildly different ways to play. Far Cry 6 appears to be no different — the publisher is planning a robust...
News Gran Turismo 7 Revives the Pokémon, CaRPG Aspect of Old Entries
Gotta drive 'em all
GT Sport was an amazing game, and successfully transformed Gran Turismo into a viable and popular e-sport, but for long-time fans of the franchise, it lacked meaningful single player content. With the release of Gran Turismo 7, developer Polyphony Digital is very much returning to the series’ origins, with the GT Campaign...
News God of War's Tyr Is Shorter Than Lady Dimitrescu
Still a big lad, though
Tyr is a name we heard a lot during the course of 2018's God of War, but we never got to meet the Norse god in the flesh. That's set to change in God of War Ragnarok — the new trailer heavily implies he'll ally with Kratos and Atreus, presumably tagging along for at least part of the adventure. That's all very exciting, and...
News Alan Wake Remastered Shines a Light on PS5, PS4 Release Date in Debut Trailer
Grab your torches
Alan Wake Remastered was confirmed by Remedy Entertainment a little earlier this week, much to the delight of fans. However, it fell to Sony, during its PlayStation Showcase event, to debut the first trailer for the game. Coming to Sony's platforms for the first time, Alan Wake Remastered brings back the beloved title with updated...
News Marvel's Wolverine, Spider-Man 2 Are PS5 Exclusives
No PS4 versions announced for now
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will not release until 2023, and it’s probably safe to assume that Marvel’s Wolverine will not come out until after it, so the fact that Sony hasn’t announced PlayStation 4 versions shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Nevertheless, just to make crystal clear, developer Insomniac Games...
