News There's Mounting Speculation That Knack's Coming Back
Cerny not?
Knack, the much maligned PlayStation 4 launch title, appears to be on the verge of a comeback. A Taiwanese animator listed the title on her resume earlier in the year, and now "renowned" industry "insider" Shinobi602 has been teasing the title on NeoGAF. It's not the strongest source that we've ever based a story upon, but the
News E3 2016 May Become Human with Detroit PS4 Apperance
Hurrah for Kara
Well, then – that's our predictions out of the window already. There's mounting speculation that Detroit: Become Human may appear during Sony's E3 2016 press conference next week – evidenced by a tweet by Kinda Funny co-founder Greg Miller, who confirmed the title f
Feature Sony PlayStation E3 2016 Press Conference Predictions
What can PS4 fans expect?
Attempting to predict PlayStation's annual E3 press conference is one of the highlights of the year here at Push Square Towers, and we have a relatively decent track record when it comes to the convention. Sure, we never saw last year's Holy Trinity™ coming, but we got a lot of the other big bullet points bang on...
News There's a PlayStation E3 Headline Generator
And it's glorious
E3 is a time of fierce format wars and – if you happen to work in the games industry – intense stress. Scientists often say that laughing is a good way of dealing with tough situations, and this PlayStation E3 headline generator certainly got a giggle out of us. Some of our favourites so far: Shawn Layden bursts from a crate...

Neo's the time to make up your mind
The rumoured PlayStation 4K may be announced at E3 2016 next week, potentially changing the landscape of consoles forever.

News The Coolest DualShock 4 Controllers Are Coming to Europe
Crystal and Steel Black
We adore the Uncharted 4: A Thief's End-themed DualShock 4, but there's no question that the Crystal and Steel Black controllers are the best. These were announced for Japan last year, but are now finally making their way overseas to Europe starting 11th July. The PlayStation Blog
News Sony Reduces the Price of Major PS4 Releases on NA PlayStation Store
Greatest hits?
Sony's dropped the price of four major PlayStation 4 first-party releases on the PlayStation Store to $19.99, perhaps indicating that the MSRP of the must own games has changed. The discounts – to Bloodborne, DriveClub, The Last of Us Remastered, and Until Dawn – don't appear to be fuelled by some kind of promotion, so unless it's...
News PS4 Exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn's Box Art Is Predictably Beautiful
Brave new world
Horizon: Zero Dawn's new trailer may be a bit on the cheesy side, but there's no denying that the game's a visual tour-de-force. Part of that, of course, stems from Guerrilla Games' technical prowess – but the art direction is also a very obvious highlight as well. It's no surprise to see the title score some stunning box art,...
News Watch Sony's E3 2016 Streams for PS4 Prizes
Avatars, themes, and more
Sony's announced its streaming schedule for E3 2016, and it's upping the ante yet again. For those who never seem to realise that the platform holder does its own Nintendo Treehouse-esque broadcasts annually, it's confirmed that it will be streaming from the PlayStation booth all week, as part of the PlayStation Live Cast...
News These PS4 Games Will Be Playable in Sony's E3 2016 Booth
A good selection
It feels like E3 2016 now, doesn't it? Things had gotten really quiet on Planet PlayStation over the past few days, but the platform holder's really starting to ramp up the enthusiasm now, and it's announced a selection of games that will be playable in its booth next week. We should stress that these are just some of the titles on...
Feature Is Crash Bandicoot Coming to PS4? 10 Reasons to Believe He Is
#BringCrashBack
By our reckoning, the three year Crash Bandicoot conversation is about to come to a conclusion, and this saga can end one of two ways: the iconic PSone protagonist has been broken out of his Activision penitentiary – or, well, he hasn't. Whichever side of the 90s baditude camp you currently reside, there's no question that the...
News Horizon: Zero Dawn Delayed to February 2017 on PS4
But here's a new trailer to tide you over

To help wipe away your tears, Sony has released a new trailer for the game, which focuses on Aloy and her journey. As well as that, we've got our first glimpses at the Limited...
News This Modded Uncharted 4 PS4 Is Pretty Amazing
Golden
It's incredible how creative some people are when it comes to constructing modified consoles, and this Uncharted 4: A Thief's End-themed system is yet another example of that. Made by Romanian gamer Vulpe Adrian Andrei, the system employs a shirt similar to the one worn by protagonist Nathan Drake as well as leather bounding and pistole...
News Japan Votes for PlayStation's Most Memorable Games
Long in the memory
Famitsu, the famous Japanese gaming magazine, is celebrating its 30th anniversary – and it's asked readers to vote for their most memorable games per console as a consequence. A whopping 2,921 people responded, with the rules stating that participants could only pen one title per platform. We've included the top ten titles for...
News There Are Some Interesting The Last of Us 2 Theories Flying Around
American daughters
Now that Naughty Dog's done with Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, we suspect that the studio's attention is going to start to turn to its next project. It still has one major single player expansion pack planned for the PlayStation 4 exclusive, but beyond that, it'll have a new title in mind. And that's almost certain to be The Last of...
News Strap Yourself in to Some New London Heist Footage
Virtual reality

The tech is genuinely cool, and this PlayStation Access video shows off the inherent interactivity of the fledgling medium via the London...
News No, Persona 5 Is Not Being Published By Sony in Europe
Bit of a shame, really
A rumour popped up earlier today claiming that Sony is planning on publishing Persona 5 in Europe. The source of the rumour was spotty at best, and we can't even find the origin of it right now, but none of that really matters since Atlus PR manager John Hardin has debunked the hopeful whispers. "Sorry Europe, but once again,...
News No Man's Sky UK Release Date Pushed Forward
Yes Man's Sky
No Man's Sky was recently delayed until August on PlayStation 4, with North America getting the game on the 9th, Europe receiving it on the 10th, and the poor old UK having to wait until the 12th to sample the space sim. Naturally, the two day difference between the EU and UK release dates had a bunch of us Brits asking questions, with...
Talking Point Will Sony Announce PS4K at E3 2016?
Neo or never?
Sony doesn't really announce hardware at E3. There are exceptions: the PlayStation Move was hastily wheeled out a few years ago in reaction to the Kinect, while the ill-fated but kinda awesome PSPgo was also confirmed during one Los Angeles show. But most of its big system reveals tend to occur elsewhere: the PlayStation 4 was...
News Swiss Retailer Lists Crash Bandicoot for PS4
But it proves nothing
An early E3 2016 leak or a retailer responding to rumours? This could be a case of both, in all honesty. While there's real reason to believe that something is going on with the Crash Bandicoot brand, the fact that Swiss retailer Alcom has listed a new entry for the PlayStation 4 is not evidence of anything at all – the...
News PS Vita Passes 5 Million Units Milestone in Japan
Celebrate good times
It may have struggled globally, but the PlayStation Vita is still pretty darn relevant in Japan, with the handheld passing the five million units milestone in the region today. The news comes courtesy of the latest Media Create report, which signalled that the portable sold 14,956 units during the period spanning 23rd May to...
Talking Point Was Sony's E3 2015 Presser Really the Greatest Ever?
Magic moments
Thinking back on it, E3 2015 was a bit of a blur. We were outrageously sceptical ahead of PlayStation's press conference, and if you go back and read our predictions, that's abundantly clear to see. We'd heard on the grapevine that Sony was going to use its media briefing to focus primarily on strategic partnerships with third-party...
Talking Point Should Sony Leverage PS4's Japanese Game Lineup at E3 2016?
East wars
E3 is a weird thing. The annual Los Angeles-based convention is attended solely by press and retail, is anticipated mostly by enthusiasts, but is by far the most "mainstream" of all of the gaming shows. Think about it: if Gamescom is eccentric European cuisine, then E3 is a hamburger and fries; if the Tokyo Game Show is Katanagatari [Yeah,...
News Your June PlayStation Plus Games Have Been Revealed
NBA 2K16 and Gone Home confirmed
We hope that you're in the mood for shootin' some hoops, because NBA 2K16 is dribbling into June's PlayStation Plus selection.

In it he talks about the title's decade-long development cycle, the transition to the PlayStation 4, and much more. It's a great watch if you've been...
News No Man's Sky Dev Received Death Threats Over Delay
Sigh
A timely reminder that, for all of its brilliance, the Internet can also be a bloody awful place: No Man's Sky developer Sean Murray has revealed that he has received "loads of death threats this week" following the minor delay to Hello Games' hotly anticipated space sim. The title was pushed back from 21st June to 9th August this week, meaning...
News PS4 Controller Selected Best for PC Gaming

News Yep, No Man's Sky Has Been Delayed Again on PS4
No man, why
It was inevitable, we suppose. Just two weeks ahead of Sony's E3 2016 press conference, No Man's Sky appears to have been hit with another delay. The information comes straight from the game's media page on playstation.com, so we'd say that it's pretty much official. You can probably expect some sort of statement from Sony or developer...

Weirdness Snake Believe! Python Found in Faulty PS4

The PlayStation 4 can be a bit of an animal, but one Sao Paulo gamer got a little more than he bargained for.

Instead, however, he...

News New The Last Guardian PS4 Footage Will Give You Goosebumps
Try not to tear up
People often forget that E3 for Sony typically lasts longer than the week-long convention itself, with the platform holder prone to releasing tons of information and trailers prior to the show. And it looks like it's really kicking things off right now, with The Last Guardian undergoing the full blowout treatment on IGN. The...
News Unlock Bonus Relics in Uncharted 4 Multiplayer This Weekend

News The Last Guardian's Cat-Bird Will Be Contrary Like a Real Animal
Enormous amounts of AI code used
Team ICO's talking a big game with The Last Guardian, and you'd be brave to doubt whether the ragtag group can deliver.

News PS4 Is a Beast! Sales Surpass 40 Million Units
Still Sony's fastest-selling system

News PS4 Exclusive The Last Guardian Is Still Set For a 2016 Release
You just gotta believe
The latest issue of EDGE magazine is packing a load of new information about The Last Guardian, the spiritual successor to Shadow of the Colossus. For quite a while now, the heavily delayed game's been slated for a 2016 release, but we've heard very little about the project since it was brought up at E3 last year. Naturally,...
Rumour Is No Man's Sky Landing on Our Planet Later Than Expected?
Space sim may be delayed
No Man's Sky may have been delayed – disappointing millions but helping with our post-E3 recovery immensely. The ambitious space-faring sim was originally scheduled for a 21st June release date, but all has been quiet in outer-space for some time now, and sources tell Kotaku that the title has been pushed back. The...

Earth is ours no more
Following its Push Square Game of the Show award last year, Horizon: Zero Dawn was always likely to be one of Sony's big E3 2016 highlights – and it looks like the platform holder's getting the hype flowing a little earlier this year. Guerrilla Games tweeted out a photograph of downtown Los Angeles today, which has been...
News Uncharted 4's Focus Testing Didn't Always Go Smoothly
One individual had to be ejected
By and large, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End has prompted a pretty damn positive response – but not everyone is in love with the PlayStation 4 exclusive. But while criticisms of its pacing and platforming may be more than fair, comments about the gender of some of its characters are less reasonable. However, that's...
News Sony Expects to Sell a Lot of PS4 Consoles This Fiscal Year
Like, a lot
Sony's released its sales forecasts for the fiscal year which started in April, and they paint a very interesting picture for the PlayStation 4.

News Gran Turismo Sport Looks Much Better Than You Think on PS4
An eye-opening comparison
Gamers would never overreact, would they?
