Drake expectations
Some of our predictions for the PlayStation 4 in 2014 may have been a little bit offbeat, but one common theme throughout our article revolved around the very real possibility of Uncharted PS4 releasing later this year for Sony’s new super machine.

News PS Vita Will Die a Slow and Painful Death, Says Michael Pachter
Sony's portable business to disappear with it
It’s a strange time for the PlayStation Vita.

Furthermore, while the install base is admittedly low, the attach rate is...

Metro: Last Light, Dynasty Warriors Next, Outlast and more also free

News Europe's New PS Plus Instant Game Collection Freebies Should Be Revealed Tomorrow

News You'll Soon Be Able to Join Multiplayer Clans in Killzone: Shadow Fall
Yes we clan
Zealous Killzone: Shadow Fall admirers have been tearing into the title's terrific multiplayer suite for a few months now, but the ability to create and manage clans still remains notably absent. Fans of the frenetic first-person franchise can now breathe a sigh of relief, though, as developer Guerrilla Games has announced that the...
Rumour PS4 Exclusive DriveClub Slamming on the Brakes Until June
Crash and burn
It seems that hotly anticipated PlayStation 4 title DriveClub may not be racing onto your next-gen system as soon as previously thought. The title, initially pegged to release alongside the launch of Sony's new machine, had been rumoured to be tearing up the tarmac sometime in February. However, a recent
News UK PS4 Stock Sneaks into the Spotlight at Amazon
Lightning strikes
Despite some meaty shipments all over the globe, it’s amazing that the PlayStation 4 remains a real challenge to track down.

News Resogun DLC Will Blast Away Your Boredom on PS4 Soon
More humans to harbour
Assuming that you’re not a fan of buxom British archaeologists and elaborately attired thieves, the PlayStation 4’s immediate release schedule is looking a little on the light side.

News inFAMOUS: Second Son Star Delsin Rowe Doesn't Look Quite As Dislikeable in Burlap
Cute and conduit
Delsin Rowe, the hero of upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive inFAMOUS: Second Son, may have rubbed some folks up the wrong way with his trendy headwear and arrogant attitude – but it’s hard to hate the superhero when he’s masquerading as a Sackboy key ring. The friendly folks running PlayStation Europe’s Twitter account...

Fortune tellers
With our Game of the Year awards now a thing of the past, we’re turning our attention to the future. Sony’s enjoyed an explosive start to 2014, with the platform holder wasting no time to host a couple of press conferences – and announce its cloud streaming service PlayStation Now in the process. However, wi
News Japan May Be Handheld Land, But It Still Wants the PS4
Greatness awaits
There’s a reason that Sony is using plenty of ammunition to promote the PlayStation Vita in Japan, and that’s because the region can’t get enough of handhelds. The astronomical sales of the Nintendo 3DS compared to the muted numbers attached to the Wii U and PlayStation 3 show how trends have changed – but there may yet be...

News Sony: PlayStation 4 to Become Our Main Focus in Japan
Firm to turn its attention to its freshest flagship format

News inFAMOUS: Second Son to Illustrate the Power of the PS4 at GDC 2014
Great responsibility
It’s probably a good thing that the PlayStation 4 isn’t a superhero, as we reckon that the supercharged device would resemble more than a match for inFAMOUS: Second Son’s plucky protagonist Delsin Rowe. A handful of launch titles have already demonstrated how much power lead architect Mark Cerny's packed into the next...
News PlayStation Now Won't Be Streaming to Europe Until 2015
Asia picking up a signal this year, though

News Pachter: Nintendo Should Publish Its Games on the PS4
We doubt that Sony would decline

News Japanese Sales Charts: PS Vita Keeps Plodding Along
Handheld keeping its head above water
The holidays have come to a conclusion in Japan, but the PlayStation Vita has held on fairly well.

News Can UK's Broadband Cope with PlayStation Now?
Bandwidth bottleneck
With the recent announcement of the PlayStation Now cloud streaming service, the question that has been lingering in the air is whether our broadband connections can actually handle it.

News PlayStation Now Is Not the PS4 Backward Compatibility Fix You're Craving
It's a sort of alternative, though
It was always going to be a challenge for Sony to offer backward compatibility on the PlayStation 4. Its previous console’s CELL architecture is more complex than a Leo Tolstoy novel, meaning that replicating it on its new machine was probably never truly on the agenda. There had been some hope, however, that the...

News Sony: You'll Be Hearing About PS4 Racer DriveClub's Release Date Soon
We're wheely sick of waiting
We love DriveClub here at Push Square.

Talking Point Do Sony's Family Franchises Have a Future on PS4?
Eye to eye
Nintendo fans may try to convince you otherwise, but Sony was the first to unlock the casual game market.

However, with...

News Sony Wants to Keep Your PS4 Controller's Light Turned On
Power cut
We suppose that it’s a testament to just how well the PlayStation 4’s been built that the DualShock 4’s light panel is a peeve at all, but it currently sits somewhere near the top of next generation gamers’ grievances. For many, the mandatory strip is an irritation, draining the controller’s battery life and prompting some...

On the Helghast
Killzone: Shadow Fall’s single player campaign may plummet faster than an ISA Intruder that’s out of fuel, but its online multiplayer never gets old.

News The Last of Us: Left Behind Makes a Date on Valentine's Day
Sorry, honey
The Last of Us’ gruesome undead enemies may have lost the use of their eyes, but fortunately there’s no ghastly fungal infection in the world that we currently reside.

News You'll Have a 'Little More Fun' in The Last of Us: Left Behind
Dry your eyes
Naughty Dog’s survival horror opus The Last of Us was a fantastic release, and fully deserving of our coveted Game of the Year award – but it’s a title that’s difficult to describe as ‘fun’. From tear-jerking opening right through to its harrowing conclusion, Joel and Ellie’s cross-country excursion is mostly depressing,...
