Acquiescence

Usually takes a lot longer than that before you can see the growler.

Hey Sony, how about delaying all your live service games... permanently.

@Kidfunkadelic83 That film already had death. You don't remember the ant?

Leaked emails make explicitly clear that Microsoft want to buy up huge publishers, out spend Sony and consolidate the industry

Regulators: "Nothing concerning here. Approved!"

Phil Spencer is an absolute slimeball.

"Combat doesn't really evolve
Animations are rough
Best not play it with your gran"

That's all well and good, but this is a review for Eternights, not Baldur's Gate 3.

Absolute pretentious twaddle. One of the worst games I've ever played, and I do not say that with hyperbole. I wanted to claw my face off by the last episode.

I can't fathom playing a Yakuza game with all the characters speaking English. Talk about an immersion destroyer.

That showcase felt like the first real glimpse into Sony's GaaS-centric future, and it made for a really depressing sight. CG trailers and sci-fi shooters everywhere, but little in the way of gameplay and games with their own distinct personality to stand out from the crowd.

This showcase was a flop through and through. It so easily could've been a slam dunk given how quiet Sony's been the past couple of years, but they well and truly botched it here.

This is absolutely wonderful news. Microsoft buying up publishers in order to paper over the cracks of its own mismanagement shouldn't be tolerated anyway. Activision games will remain multiplatform and that's great for the consumer.

Let's be honest here - Destruction AllStars was utter pants.

Was it somebody at The Initiative trying to convince him to come work on the latest slab of shovelware per chance?

I'm excited to play this. I never bothered with the third game because it's an absolute turd by all accounts, but this entry reviewed very well on PC.

I'm uh... wow.

So it's good?! Miracles never cease.

If you grew up with the PS1 era then this game looks like a wet dream come true.

14/15. Got the last one wrong.

Typical.

I'd much rather have Gravity Rush 3, but fans of the series will take anything they can get these days.

One of Sony's biggest sins was never localising any of the Boku no Natsuyasumi games. They look amazing for anyone who cherishes atmosphere in video games and the escapist value the medium has to offer.

Two hours long with over 30 games and still, somehow, you just know it'll be rubbish.

I wish it was for nothing, rather than the £70 it's priced at.

But yeah, it's a total cash grab. Just a completely unnecessary remake of a game that's still fresh in everyone's mind. This could also be the start of a worrying trend too as we see successful games that came out less than ten years ago get remade just because it's the easiest money ever.

This actually looks really good.

I didn't know Ben Shapiro did modelling work on the side. He's absolutely rockin' those shades.

Yay, it's out! Now we never have to see it at a PlayStation event ever again.

(Hopefully).

Not thrilled about that tbh. It's a gimmicky narrative choice that they should've abandoned after GoW2018.

If I want to play TLoU again, I have an excellent remaster to play that was done in-house. I don't need a remake.

I'm still hoping that the software price hike bites them in the ass globally and they reduce it back to what it was. £70 is extortionate.

Shawn wasn't perfect (his treatment of the Gravity Rush series caused much consternation with me), but he's a darn sight better than Ryan/Hulst, who both seem dead set on turning the first-party studios' output into a Ubisoft factory of formulaic, by-the-numbers AAA blockbusters.

I've played it for a couple of hours and it's about a 6 or so. I probably won't finish it.

The Oddworld series never really felt like it recaptured the glory days of the very first game. There was a lot of buzz in the UK surrounding Abe's Odyssey on the PS1 if memory serves.

A remake of the first TLoU... how creatively bankrupt can you get? The original isn't even an old game, it got an excellent remaster last gen and it plays great. Why would it need a remake?!

Wtf is going on at Sony right now. This is embarrassing.

As someone who loves the Gravity Rush series, it hurts reading this. Sony is making record profits as a company and yet only now do they see fit to let all these talented people go. It's depressing. AND they're losing a studio at a time when Microsoft is acquiring any developer they can get their mitts on.

Anyway, he's a fantastic artist. Good luck to him in the future.

Anyone who votes for Goodbye Volcano High should be banned from this site.

(I'm just kidding)

But not really.

Reads like a 9.

The only thing stopping me from getting this is the £60 asking price.

As someone who loved Rescue Mission, I've been looking forward to this more than Miles, Demon's Souls and Sackboy. Super glad to see it turned out well!

Sure is a lot of 'concern' out there when it comes to the PS5 and backwards compatibility.

The ultimate nightmare fuel.

Not gonna lie, I could really go for a game like this right about now. I need some relaxing escapism.

13/15

I got Time Crisis II and Ray Tracers wrong. But yeah, the PS1 is my all-time favourite console so I was bound to score highly.

Touchpad redeemed.

Damn, you guys work fast.

Why is Kojima teasing people over whether or not this game funded by Sony is getting a photo mode on the PS4? It's so pathetic. Like, why make a big deal about it? Just be clear and tell us that it's coming to the PS4 version as well.

That video says "Push Square are nonces." What's that about?

Brawlhalla was able to get Lara Croft but PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale wasn't.

What a sad state of affairs.

Here's something I want to know but no one will tell me - when does the review embargo lift?

I mean, Scalebound happened. Why on earth did Phil Spencer think it would be a good idea to try and convince the folks at Platinum to become an Xbox studio. How deluded can someone possibly be?!

Is Push Square currently playing a review copy of Dreams?

I really need to play this. I was hoping for a sale discount of some sort, but it still hasn't happened yet. £15 is a lot of money for a digital-only title, especially when I can't get a refund on PSN if I don't like it.

Nintendo Life must be awfully generous with their scores if they gave this piece of crap an 8.

SpongeBob just shat his SquarePants.

It's impossible to say whether it's a bad decision or not until we know what Sony is doing to make up for its absence at E3. If they have nothing to replace their E3 conference then it's a horrible thing for them to skip the event. Hopefully that isn't the case though.
