Ambitious sci-fi title finally gets a release window
We really hope that you didn't put too much stock into the rumour that No Man's Sky was releasing this week, because the title's new trailer says otherwise. After what seems like an eternity, the ambitious indie project finally has some sort of release window - and we're sad to say that it's not...

It's only natural
Remember WiLD? You lot voted it your Game of the Show way back in 2014 following Sony's Gamescom press conference, but it's been missing in action ever since.

From France with love
The curtain has just closed on Sony's hotly anticipated Paris Games Week press conference, where we got a glimpse at Housemarque's next project, Horizon: Zero Dawn and Uncharted 4's multiplayer.

News Most of Rock Band 4's Legacy DLC Delayed in Europe
Bum note
European PlayStation players haven't had the best relationship with Sony in recent times, mainly due to late Store Updates and PlayStation Plus releases.

Paris Games Week 2015 DriveClub Bikes Are Probably Getting Announced Today
Wheel-y?
Sony will strut out onto the stage at Paris Games Week later today, presumably to announce a few games, talk PlayStation VR, PlayStation 4, and maybe even a bit of Vita.

Guide What Time Is Sony's Paris Games Week Press Conference?
When to tune in for all the PS4 reveals
Yay, it's PlayStation press conference time. It may sound sad, but we were really put out by Sony's limited presence at Gamescom earlier in the year. Not only was the platform holder's decision to not hold a media briefing in Cologne bad for our traffic ticker, but it also felt like the whole event had a...
News Horizon: Zero Dawn Will Have an Incredibly Rich Story, Says Guerrilla Games
Proof will be in the mechanical pudding
Killzone, if you don't know, had some absolutely magnificent lore behind it – Guerrilla Games just botched the storytelling time after time again.

News Sony Knows Exactly What PS4 Firmware Update Features You Want
Folders, online notifications, and so on
There's been frustration over recent PlayStation 4 firmware updates. Sony's been slow rolling out system software overhauls, and while we're fond of features such as Communities, they don't feel like they should be a priority. But while the platform holder's not exactly implementing the kind of upgrades that...
News Watch One of the First Dreams Made on PS4
Beary good
The sooner that Media Molecule clears up exactly what Dreams is the better. During a stream earlier this week, the developer shared one of the first ever "dreams" created in the PlayStation 4 exclusive – and it's suitably bonkers. We see a polar bear and its baby walking towards the horizon, where the illuminati happen to be waiting...
Rumour Darkside Was the Name of Sony Santa Monica's Scrapped PS4 Exclusive
Dark side of the Earth
Every other site in existence is about to report on this, so we may as well join in on the fun: Sony Santa Monica's cancelled PlayStation 4 exclusive was supposedly called Darkside. Not to be confused with a similarly named ex-THQ title, the game was being worked on by God of War II
News How Will You Access Bloodborne: The Old Hunters on PS4?
Pretty easily, actually
We love Bloodborne here at Push Square Towers, but it can be a pretty convoluted game. It wouldn't come as a massive surprise to us if upcoming expansion Bloodborne: The Old Hunters was a challenge to access, then – but according to a Q&A on the official PlayStation website, you'll be able to get to the new content with...
News Comparing PS4's Sales to the Competition May Be Tough Moving Forwards
Keeping the numbers quiet
Sony was sheepish when it came to console sales last generation, lumping the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 together as part of the illusive "PlayStation Family". It's been a lot more forthcoming with the PlayStation 4, revealing both sell in and sell through figures with alarming regularity. But it seems that Microsoft...
News November's PlayStation Plus Freebies Will Be Revealed Next Week
Instant Game Collection update on the way
Sharpen those pitch forks and prepare some picket signs in protest, because November's big PlayStation Plus update is days away from being exposed. Amid the panic of Paris Games Week, SCEE's ever-patient PlayStation Blog manager Fred Dutton told one eager fa
Feature What PS4 Announcements Should You Expect at Paris Games Week?
Predicting the future
Sony's said that next week's Paris Games Week press conference will be comparable to a Gamescom media briefing. The platform holder skipped its annual stage show in Cologne this August, as it felt that the event was too close to E3 2015. There were mere weeks between the two major conventions, so it based its decision upon...
News Surprise! Sony Isn't Working on First-Party Titles for PS Vita
Wow, no way
In what many sites appear to think is a shocking revelation, it turns out that Sony isn't making any first-party games for PlayStation Vita. Of course, if you've been paying attention, then you'll already know that the company's commented on its support of the handheld before. Last year, Sony Europe boss Jim Ryan followed up on comments...

News Custom PS4 Faceplates Are Coming to Europe Next Month

News New PS4 Games Will Be Revealed in Paris Next Week
But what will they be?
It's a controversial opinion, but here at Push Square Towers we've always preferred the likes of Gamescom over E3. There's method in our madness: the European press conferences tend to air at a reasonable hour, but they also play host to more out-there announcements – the likes of RIME and WiLD being prime examples. Next...
Rumour Until Dawn Goes On-Rails for PlayStation VR DLC
More like off the rails, right?
Until Dawn is one of the best games of the year because of its intentionally crumby plot and ham acting – so we're not sure how we feel about the game getting a PlayStation VR powered side story. Apparently that's exactly what Supermassive Games is working on, though, as a Destructoid tip-off has hinted that a...
News This Cherry Blossoms PS4 Theme Is Blooming Brilliant
Pretty in pink
Let's not beat around the hedgerow: most PlayStation 4 themes suck.

Not only is it a lovely looking wallpaper in its own right, but it also works with the console's...

News PS4's Price Cut Down to Size in the UK
Down to £299.99 from today
We've got to admit, the rollout of the PlayStation 4's first price drop has been so disjointed that it's been hard to muster a whole lot of enthusiasm about it. First it was Japan that decided to play limbo, with the rest of Asia following a few days later. North America joined
News Now the PS4's Price Has Dropped in Australia
And Europe will be next
You can expect a PlayStation 4 price drop to be announced for Europe in the morning, as the appliance has just seen its RRP slashed in Australia.

Talking Point Does EA Access Really Represent Poor Value for PS4 Players?
Vault the fence
It's been over a year now since Sony deemed EA Access poor value for PlayStation 4 players.

News This PS4 Commercial Is Going to Sell a Lot of Consoles
Feel the force
Oh boy! Sony has uploaded its official Holiday 2015 commercial for North America – and it's a real humdinger.

Given that we're mere weeks away from being submerged into...

Bllling
DriveClub currently has 122 Trophies, which means that it's one gong short of being the most fruitful PlayStation 4 release for hunters of polished virtual pots.

News Ratchet & Clank Could Be the Best Video Game Movie Ever
Kick some asteroid
Ratchet & Clank looks so good in film form that it's hard to believe that it's taken this long for Sony to bring the platforming icons to the silver screen. This brand new trailer for the franchise's forthcoming flick has all of the ingredients that it needs to succeed: skittish jump cuts, on-the-nose gags, and a Galantis...

News PS4 Exclusive Bloodborne Gets Presumptuous with Game of the Year Edition
Prepare to die
Bloodborne is currently this author's Game of the Year, and unless the final episode of Life Is Strange is something truly special, it's unlikely to be bettered in your humble host's eyes. Still, we can't help but feel that Sony is being the teeniest bit presumptuous with Bloodborne: Game of the Year Edition – namely because it...

News Uncharted 4's Single Player DLC May Plot an Experimental Path
Left behind
Truly great downloadable content doesn't come around very often, but The Last of Us: Left Behind is a rare example of an add-on pack that lived up to the legacy of the campaign that it was expanding.
