This is weird behaviour from Sony. You'd think with the amount of success they're having through their own titles that they'd adhere to the Nintendo approach of locking down exclusives to their platform, but instead they're going more and more in the direction of Microsoft. And I had just assumed Microsoft put all their games on PC because they weren't doing particularly well commercially, so why is Sony following suit?
Or maybe Epic just threw a massive cauldron of money Shawn Layden's way.
Hopefully they've transformed the game into a dating simulator where the main purpose is to try and woo the giant sexy snake temptress. That'd be a day one for me.
I wouldn't buy it even if it was just £5. That's not hyperbole either; time is a precious commodity so why bother wasting it on something that's mediocre?
His best option is to move the games to PC and Switch where they won't be censored.
What the hell is Sony's problem regarding sex and nudity in video games anyway? We need more lewdness to counter the onslaught of gratuitous gaming violence that has been normalised over the past couple of decades, not less of it.
Yeah nu-metal is awful, but let's face it, britpop wasn't much better. Most britpop bands were essentially lowest common denominator pup-rock. And yes, that includes Oasis.
Plus britpop killed off the era of shoegaze. Now THAT'S a f**king fantastic genre of music. (Slowdive have reformed by the way, and released a belter of an album in 2017).
Glad to see that Detroit love. Definitely agree with your blurb - it's a melodramatic game to a fault at times, but the sheer breadth of its branching narrative and how much a single playthrough can change from another is impressive as hell.
I know it's not much to look at, but this game is great. Probably not worthy of being on something titled the 'PS Classic', but very good all the same.
Thank god this game got on the PS Classic over the likes of Crash Team Racing, Soul Reaver, Tomb Raider, WipEout 2097, Alundra, Gran Turismo, Chrono Cross, Spyro the Dragon, Silent Hill, Rollcage, Rival Schools, Vagrant Story, Fear Effect, Parappa the Rapper, Bust-A-Groove, Soul Blade, Final Fantasy VIII, Bloody Roar 2, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Vandal Hearts, Sled Storm and Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, that's all I can say.
The PS4 has had its best year ever, made a crap ton of money, and yet it feels like Sony is doing little to keep the momentum going. First PSX cancelled and now E3. It's very odd.
I get that they're preparing in advancing for the PS5, but with the insane amount of money the PlayStation brand is making right now, you'd think that Layden & Co could afford to have both a strong launch for the PS5 and keep the new game announcements flowing. Guess not.
Nice to see Detroit getting more love than I expected.
Astro Bot on the other hand is one of the most highly reviewed games of the year, yet only got one nod. I guess it got instantly disregarded due to it being a VR game.
I never played MediEvil 2, only the first game, but everyone who has seems to rave about it and rate it more highly than the first game, so I hope at the very least we get a remake of that too.

Re: Soapbox: Crackdown 3 Is Proof That Microsoft Is Still Playing Catch-Up to Sony
This article is nothing but fanboy drivel for the most part. Push Square should be better than this.

Re: Sony Ghosts Indie Dev Hoping to Port Game to PSVR
Sony looking more and more like the bad guys of the Big Three with each passing day.
Re: Guide: Best PS4 Horror Games
EGttR is a bizarre inclusion. And Push Square really needs to play Detention.
Re: Days Gone PS4 Screenshots Show Deacon with His Bride-to-Be
I hope the narrative doesn't end up being as predictable as these screenshots suggest.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of Apex Legends?
The gameplay is excellent. Everything surrounding the gameplay is soulless and hollow. The character designs in particular are abhorrent.
Re: This Custom Donut DualShock 4 PS4 Controller Looks Good Enough to Eat
I'd honestly rather have the donuts than the controller. They look so good.
Re: Free Dragon Quest XI Avatars Out Now on PS4
@ApostateMage And that's why silent protagonists are rubbish and should be a thing of the past.
Re: Game of the Month: Best PS4 Games of January 2019
Proof that REmake 2 is better than the measly 8 out of 10 that Push Square gave it.

Re: Resident Evil 2 Players Picked Leon Kennedy's Campaign First
I picked Leon first because his interplay with Ada is far more intriguing to me than anything going on in Claire's story. Claire's still cool though.

Re: Wandersong - A One-Note Adventure That Sings from the Heart
First review for the PS4 version and it's a lower score than anything the Switch version got.
Push Square is not easily pleased huh.

Re: Poll: What's Your Most Anticipated PS4 Game of 2019?
No MediEvil to vote for?! Come on Push Square, how do you snub Sir Dan like that.
Re: Feature: Our Most Anticipated PS4 Games of 2019
Resident Evil 2, Dreams and Shenmue III are the big three for me this year. All are certified day one purchases.
Re: Cult Interactive Gag Desert Bus Is Taking the Long Road to PSVR
I hope it has a platinum.
Re: Sony Highlights Biggest Upcoming PS4 Games in New Montage Trailer

Re: Will Sony Censor Catherine: Full Body? Developer Can't Give a Definitive Answer
Funny how if the game was packed with headshots instead of pantie shots, we'd have nothing to worry about.
Re: Guide: All PS5 Games Confirmed or Rumoured
I'd be insanely hyped for a remaster of The Last Guardian.
Re: Black Friday 2018: Quantic Dream's Best Game Detroit: Become Human Just £13.99

Re: Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee - Dark, Bizarre, and Packed with Personality
Looking forward to those reviews for Battle Arena Toshinden and Rainbow Six.
Re: Game of the Month: The Best PS4 Games of October 2018
Very surprised Astro Bot didn't even make it into the top 4. Highest rated VR game yet.
Re: Rumour: Is Sony Planning More MediEvil Games?
