Reaction Gamescom 2019 Reminds Us That Studios Are Focused on PS5 Right Now
Calm before the storm
It was fitting for the PlayStation 5 devkit to leak this week, as Gamescom 2019 served as an extension of E3 2019 in so many ways. Geoff Keighley huffed and puffed during his Opening Night Live presentation, but once the curtain came down, it was clear that the two-hour stage show was mostly conceived as a screen to get auteur...

The sun is shining
Crikey, where did that beaming ball of fire sitting in the sky come from? It’s absolutely roasting this weekend, so there’s never been a better excuse to close the curtains and lounge around in your underpants. You might want to point an extra fan at your PS4 Pro, though – it’s going to get noisy in this weather. Sammy...

All four main characters on display

Hands On Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's Gunfight Mode Could Be the Next Big Thing
From 100 to 4
As the multiplayer scene continuously finds ways to increase its player count, be it a 64-player round of Battlefield V or a 100 participant strong game of Fortnite, it's perhaps interesting to consider that the next big hit may only require a fraction of that. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's alpha test gives you access to its all-new...

News PS5's Devkit Looks Like an Alien Spaceship in 3D Mock Ups
That's not necessarily a bad thing, by the way
You may be forgiven for missing the news, but the PlayStation 5’s devkit casually leaked this week. Corroborated by a Codemasters employee, the blueprints show a ridiculously shaped system, decorated with a ventilated ‘V’ symbol on its hood. It’s unlikely that the final consumer product will...

News Streets of Rage 4 Is Looking Like a Seriously Superb Sequel
Binner binner chicken dinner
There are three universal laws in life: you’ll pay taxes, you’ll die, and you’ll love at least one Streets of Rage game. The old SEGA Mega Drive beat-‘em-ups are cult classics: they had style, swagger, and seriously filthy synthgrime soundtracks. The upcoming Streets of Rage 4 has a very different artstyle to its...
News Yakuza 3 Remastered Restores Cut Content That Wasn't in the PS3 Western Release
Side stories, minigames, and more
When Yakuza 3 was brought West for the PlayStation 3 back in 2010, SEGA infamously cut a sizeable amount of side content from the game. This content, which was available in the Japanese version of the release, was removed because SEGA basically didn't think it would gel with Western audiences -- or at least, that...
Poll Has Gamescom 2019 Lived Up to Your Expectations?
Did you even have expectations?
The general feeling around the Push Square office is that Gamescom 2019 has been pretty darn dull. Much like E3 earlier in the year, it feels like publishers are now holding back for next-gen -- the bottom line is that there just isn't much new stuff to show. In fact, you could say that things have felt muted 2019 in...
Review Wreckfest - Technical Issues Fail to Void This Great, Destructive Racer
It's daa-bee, not dur-bee
Racing games have been seemingly few and far between this generation. DriveClub will cease to exist at the end of this month, Codemasters’ GRID is only just making its return in October, and the less said about Burnout and Need for Speed the better. In their wake comes Wreckfest – a title that has been a bit of a kno
News The Persona Series Hits 10 Million Copies Sold
That's a lot of inner selves
The Persona series, which began all the way back in 1996 on the original PlayStation, has reached ten million copies sold, no doubt much to the delight of Atlus. It's a big milestone for a franchise that started life as a Shin Megami Tensei spin-off title, and it's a property that has only recently found mainstream...

News Sigh! Uncharted Movie Loses Its Director Again
We count five now

News Cyberpunk 2077's Open World Is Smaller But Much Denser Than The Witcher 3's
Life in Night City
We had already figured this would be the case, but now developer CD Projekt Red has confirmed it. Compared to The Witcher 3's open world, which is pretty darn big, Cyberpunk 2077's map is set to be smaller. However, as you'd expect, Night City is supposed to be much more dense than the fields, forests, and valleys of Geralt's...

News XIII's Cel-Shaded Visuals Still Feel Unique on PS4
But it's showing its age
XIII was a PlayStation 2 game that this author talked about a lot at high school.

The final product wasn’t all that...

News NBA 2K20's MyPlayer Builder Looks More In-Depth Than Ever Before
Character building
2K Sports may not have much competition in the basketball simulation arena, but you could never accuse the developer of taking its foot off the gas – even if it does continue to find increasingly nefarious ways to monetise its games. Hot on the heels of NBA 2K20’s campaign announcement, the developer has lifted the lid on its...
News Mineral Water Comes at a Cost in Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories
Water palaver
The shopkeepers in Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories don’t appear to have a whole lot of compassion for their customers. With water a commodity in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake, they’re putting prices up and profiting from the disaster. Of course, how you respond will influence the outcome of your playthrough. It’s...
