E3 2017 Insomniac's Programmed Spider-Man So You Can't Kill
Thwip
Spider-Man’s a good guy, and he traditionally doesn’t take lives. You may have noticed in this week’s E3 2017 trailer how the hero made extra effort to scoop up debris and avoided endangering the public. But what about when you’re released into the open world to do what you want? Or when you’re fighting bad guys on a rooftop and kick...
E3 2017 Sony's Commitment to Budget Releases Continues
Knack for it
Last year, Sony had massive success with the release of Ratchet & Clank. The game was, of course, excellent to begin with – but its huge success was aided by a lower than usual $39.99 price point. And it’s a strategy that the platform holder looks set to continue as it pushes the PlayStation 4 outside of its hardcore demographic...
News Sony's Teaming with Technicolor on a Sly Cooper Cartoon
Could a new game be coming, too?
Of the trio of PlayStation 2’s platforming icons, Sly Cooper is by far our favourite.

There are no additional details right now, but this appears to...
E3 2017 Peter Parker Will Play an Integral Role in Spider-Man PS4
Great responsibility
The new Spider-Man game is called Spider-Man because, well, it’s about Spider-Man – but what about the dude behind the spandex suit? Peter Parker, it appears, will play in an integral role in Insomniac Games’ new title, coming to the PlayStation 4. “It can’t just be Spider-Man 100 per cent of the time,” creative...

E3 2017 Shadow of the Colossus Being Rebuilt for PS4
Agro! AGRO!
Is it a remaster or a remake? We’re still not entirely sure, but having watched the trailer about a dozen times now, we reckon Shadow of the Colossus probably falls into the latter camp. There’s been some confusion over these two terms of late, hasn’t there? Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is billed as a remaster, but in essence...

Soapbox Publishers Can't Bloody Win When It Comes to E3
Ramsey's sick of the hypocrites
I write about video games for a living, so I'm used to seeing people overreact on the internet. I've grown accustomed to seeing people spew hilarious hyperbole on a regular basis - hell, I've done it myself - but there's something about E3 that rubs me the wrong way. Namely, the annual Los Angeles event brings out...

News Sony: We Held PS4 Exclusives Back from E3 2017

E3 2017 Check Out 11 Explosive Minutes of Matterfall Gameplay
Looks like a blast
Matterfall was given a very brief spotlight during Sony's pre-conference E3 show.

In the video above, however, IGN speaks with associate producer Jari Hokkanen while...
Reaction PlayStation VR Is a Winner at E3 2017
Virtual reality is alive and kicking
Looking back over our hopes and fears for E3 2017, it’s clear that there was a recurring theme among virtually every Push Square staffer: what if Sony just kinda forgets about PlayStation VR? There’s obviously a precedent there: many feel that PlayStation Vita didn’t get the full-scale push that it...
E3 2017 No Heroes Allowed! VR Brings Back Badman

There were approximately 10,000 No Heroes Allowed! games on the PlayStation Portable that we’re not sure anyone played, but now the series is making the jump to PlayStation VR.

Good God
You know that amazing God of War trailer Sony showed off during its press conference last night?

Can you catch The Trapper?

E3 2017 Microsoft's Saying Stupid Things About the PS4 Pro
"It's a competitor to Xbox One S"
If you hadn’t noticed, Microsoft’s marketing with Xbox One X revolves around techno babble that only a select few understand.
