To this day I still believe I was unbeatable at speedball 2 on the Amiga! No doubt that wasn’t true but I’d have at least given you a run for your money.
@PuppetMaster @NathanKang ragebound and shinobi likely sold a lot less than the top games so less people likely played them and voted. If all games sold equally I’m sure there’d be some changes in rank.
It would be good for PS to republish this list taking into consideration total sales to the ratio of votes. Or am I just being too geeky? 😅
@Fluberuper that’s what I was going to say. This would have been deep into development by the time E33 came out and changing whatever they had to make it look like E33 in the 9 or so months since is highly unlikely.
Consoles just aren’t as big in Japan as they used to be period, thanks to mobile gaming etc.
I think there’s lots of other things adding to the Sony decline as well though such as them moving their HQ to the US, the massive size of the ps5 for small Japanese homes, pricing, exclusives becoming multiplat on pc, Xbox, S2 and much more…

Re: Despite Its Price, PS5 Pro Enjoyed a Very Respectable 2025 in USA
@FxTANK exactly, Sony are great at thanking their most loyal “pro” customers by alienating them with no limited edition faceplates etc!
Re: Queen's Blood will Return 'Enhanced' in Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3
Queens blood was excellent. I rarely get into these side quest games but this really hooked me!
Re: Pokémon Dev Game Freak Steps Up the Production Values for Beast of Reincarnation on PS5
Looks really good to me.
Would be cool if they made the next Pokémon with art and graphics more like this. That franchise needs a shake up.
Re: Prince of Persia Series Isn't Dead Yet Despite Remake Cancellation
At this point… whatever.
Re: Prince of Persia Remake and 5 Other Games Cancelled by Ubisoft
This is what massive mismanagement and lack of direction gets you.
Re: You Can Theme Your PS5 Console and Controller Entirely Around Marathon
Nah I’m still waiting for some ps5 pro plates.
Re: The Brilliant Ball X Pit Expands Later This Month with the Free Regal Update
Cool though I wasn’t a fan of the character that shot from the back so not sure what I’ll make of the new side shooter.
Looking forward to checking it out though, great game!
Re: Ubisoft All-Timer Far Cry 3 Is Getting a 60fps Update on PS5, with More to Follow
@Dan12836666 primal was decent once you get your head around there’s no guns!
Re: Ubisoft All-Timer Far Cry 3 Is Getting a 60fps Update on PS5, with More to Follow
Nice one Ubisoft FC3 is the pinnacle for me so glad it’s getting better.
Now all we need is improved enemy AI. That’s always been the weakest link in these games in my opinion.
Re: Yakuza's Makers Have Made Another Unforced Error
This series by title and release cadence seems really messy.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for January 2026?
I’d be happy if I was a subscriber. Good mix of quality games, for my tastes anyway.
Re: In a Satisfying Announcement, Ace Combat 7 Has Sold 7 Million Copies in 7 Years
Ah ok thanks man. Might give it a go!
Re: In a Satisfying Announcement, Ace Combat 7 Has Sold 7 Million Copies in 7 Years
Can anyone tell me do you take off and land in these games and have free flight so to speak or is it just arcadey in a small predetermined area?
Re: PS3's Sly Cooper Team Shut in Oculus Layoffs, Two Other Devs Closed
Come on Sony step in and buy sanzaru, we need more sly
Re: PS5 Reportedly Hands Forza Horizon 5 an Additional 5 Million Sales
Nice, I’d buy a second copy if it came to switch 2.
Re: Best Single Player Games on PS Plus
@MrPeanutbutterz agreed also one of my biggest disappointments this gen.
Not got round to returnal yet but heard lots of good things and will do one day!
Re: Best Single Player Games on PS Plus
I loved the 2018 GoW and was really looking forward to ragnarok but for some reason I just got bored of it half way through and left it.
Maybe I should give it another go.
Re: PS5 Adventure Duskfade Looks Like It Was Made for Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter Fans
Hope this turns out well as I’m after something to scratch my sly cooper itch.
Re: Sony Needs to Move Mountains to Get Samson: A Tyndalston Story on PS5
Reminded me of watchdogs without the hacking.
Re: Future Sports Series Speedball Resurrected on PS5 This Month
To this day I still believe I was unbeatable at speedball 2 on the Amiga! No doubt that wasn’t true but I’d have at least given you a run for your money.
Totally brilliant game!
Re: You'll Never Guess the Most Played PS5, PS4 Games of 2025 in the US
@11001100110zero yeah we’re definitely the minority, was a tongue in cheek comment.
Re: You'll Never Guess the Most Played PS5, PS4 Games of 2025 in the US
Just goes to show proper gamers like us have better taste in games than the mainstream 😅
Re: Microsoft CEO Really Wants You to Stop Calling Generative AI 'Slop'
@Oram77 new name - MicroSlop
Re: Talking Point: What Are Your PS5 New Year's Resolutions?
To buy less games and play more of those I’ve already got.
I can already tell I’m going to fail though.
Re: Game of the Year: Push Square Readers' Top 20 PS5 Games of 2025

Re: Game of the Year: #1 - Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
It’s in the right spot but donkey kong would be no 1 for me overall.
Re: Fans Can't Believe How Much Sword and Fairy 4's Remake Looks Like Clair Obscur
@Fluberuper that’s what I was going to say. This would have been deep into development by the time E33 came out and changing whatever they had to make it look like E33 in the 9 or so months since is highly unlikely.
Re: PS6 Could Be Delayed Due to RAM Price Chaos
Thanks to AI out next console is gonna cost a lot more.
Re: We Wish You a Very Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas all thanks for all the coverage as always pushsquare!
Re: Vince Zampella, Call of Duty Co-Creator and Respawn Boss, Tragically Dies Aged 55
Saw this elsewhere, terrible news. RIP
Re: Japan's New Language Locked PS5 Hasn't Made a Massive Difference to the Format's Domestic Fortunes
Consoles just aren’t as big in Japan as they used to be period, thanks to mobile gaming etc.

Re: Sony Is Buying Snoopy for $457 Million in Surprise Acquisition
Wow this seems a bit random to me!
Re: Pragmata Seemingly Off to a Strong Start as It's Added to Over 1 Million Wishlists Worldwide
If it reviews well I’m definitely up for it. Probably not day 1 though.
Re: Bungie's Marathon Locks In March 2026 Release Date on PS5, Priced at $40
@Jrs1 showing your age there sunshine 😅
Re: PS5 Players Will Want to Watch Xbox's Developer Direct, Confirmed for January
I’d love forza on the move for switch 2.
Other than that south of midnight confirmed and flight sim already out so I’m happy.
Re: All The Game Awards 2025 Winners
E33 is a great game no doubt but there’s a serious lack of donkey kong on there for my liking.
Re: Terminator 2D: No Fate (PS5) - A Brief Blast of 16-Bit Nostalgia
@Czar_Khastik has your account been hacked? That was a bit of a serious comment for you 😅
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025?
Good thanks to the black myth sequel!
Re: Denshattack Is a PS5 Game About Tricking Trains Like They're Skateboards, Looks Sick as Hell
Just looks like every other game that’s come out recently. Not!
Re: PS5 Console Exclusive Lost Soul Aside Shows Off Its Eclectic Arsenal
Have high hopes for this as I think it looks ace.
Hope there’s some good haptics on the dualsense though as the combat looks a little light when it connects. At least to my eyes!
Re: Preview: Battlefield 6 on PS5 Is the Battlefield We've Been Praying For
This is the first time in years I’ve been looking forward to a fps. Hope it’s as good as it looks.
