  • Sony Studios Hard at Work Polishing Up PS4 Exclusives

    Well, duh.

    Breaking news: Sony’s studios are working hard on the PlayStation 4’s roster of upcoming exclusives. The company provided an update on four titles today: Déraciné, Days Gone, Everybody’s Golf VR, and Concrete Genie. But what about the wealth of other first-party releases on the way, like Blood & Truth, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, and The Last of Us: Part II?

    “The studios are hard at work polishing up these epic PS4 games, but we aren’t yet ready to share a release timeframe,” wrote marketing bigwig Asad Qizilbash on the PlayStation Blog. “When that news is available, rest assured – you’ll be the first to know!”

  • Save 10% off everything with this ebay voucher code – expires at 8pm!

    Fancy treating yourself to something nice this weekend? Well be sure to take this ebay voucher code with you before you head out. You have until 8pm tonight to save 10% on pretty much anything at ebay.

    The only areas you can’t use it on are property and vehicle categories. Which is standard practice for these promotions.

    • Voucher code: PUMPKINS
    • Use at: ebay.co.uk
    • Expires: October 19 8pm

    There’s a minimum spend of £20, with a maximum discount of £50. So basically, you can knock 10% off up to £500 worth of goods.

    As long as your basket total is over £20, you’re good to go. We just tested it on a few games together (one of them was under £20) and it knocked 10% off the lot. Just be sure to get everything in your basket in a single transaction as you can only use the code once. 

    Here’s a link to the full T&Cs if you want all the details, but it’s fairly standard ebay voucher code material. Don’t forget, plenty of sellers are selling brand new products on ebay, we’ve come a long way from the site being a place known for mainly selling second-hand goods. Many big name stores have official ebay pages too. Be sure to read item descriptions to make sure you’re getting new products (if you only want new), or you can filter out used items in search results too. We’d also apply the ‘Buy it now’ filter to avoid looking at auctions that don’t finish on time.

    If you want a head start on tracking down a specific type of deal, we’ve included links to some of our favourite categories below:

  • Download Red Dead Redemption 2 today – seriously do, it's massive

    Getting ready to ride out onto the dusty plains of Red Dead Redemption 2? You can get ahead of the pack from today, as Rockstar has opened up pre-load downloads for the western adventure game.

    And, if you’re buying the game as a pre-ordered digital download, you should take advantage, particularly if your internet connection speed is slow. It’s a huge install.

    If you’ve bought the Xbox One version of the game you’re looking at a 107GB installation, while it’s a 99GB download on PS4 (as well as needing an additional 50GB of free space for the installation process itself). As far as we’re aware, that makes it the biggest PS4 game ever.

    Those install sizes remain the same if you’ve got the disc versions, though you don’t benefit from a few days advance installation time. However, picking up a physical copy on PS4 also means you don’t need to free up that additional 50GB of space, as the disc installation doesn’t require it.

    Race to release

    The Red Dead Redemption 2 release date is set for October 26, putting us exactly a week out from the launch of the game today.

    Saddling up imminently, Rockstar has also treated us to one final trailer before the game hits our consoles. Catch it in action below:

  • The best PS4 Pro prices, bundles and sales in Australia (October 2018)

    The best PS4 Pro prices, bundles and sales in Australia (October 2018)

    UPDATED: If you’re looking for a Pro console, the savings playing field is pretty empty at the moment, but the best deal going is from Amazon, and it’s bundled with some exclusive Fortnite content to boot. Check it out below.

    Sony beat Microsoft to the punch with its new 4K gaming system, the PS4 Pro, and you should definitely grab one.

    Here you’ll find the best prices around on the PlayStation 4 Pro console and any bundle deals available so you can score Sony’s excellent 4K system and jump right into the amazing array of PS4 games available at the moment.

    We’ve got a dedicated page if you’re looking for some excellent prices on the PlayStation VR and PlayStation Camera.

    Keep this page bookmarked and we’ll update it with bundles as they arrive, or scroll further down if you’ve got any burning questions about the new 4K PS4 Pro. To compare PlayStation 4 Pro prices in real time, check out our pick below, or visit our sister site Getprice.

    The best PlayStation 4 Pro bundles

    While Playstation 4 Pro bundles are constantly shifting from store to store, we’ve listed and ranked the best current options from the major retailers below so you don’t have to do the sniffing and scratching yourself. 

    Remember that the value of a bundle will ultimately come down to whether or not you were going to purchase the included game (or games) anyway and while some bundles are obviously better priced than others, you should check to see if that saving is worthwhile.

    Need an extra controller on the cheap? Take a look at the best DualShock 4 deals.

    What is the PS4 Pro?

    Although the PS4 Pro isn’t a ‘next-gen’ console necessarily, it is an upgrade of the PS4 and features the coveted 4K and HDR options that we’re hearing so much about. 

    The new machine will allow game developers to include 4K options in their games, so expect the like of Uncharted 4, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Days Gone, Horizon: Zero Dawn and more to look even better on a 4K TV.

    HDR, or High Dynamic Range is the other buzzword to be excited about as the PS4 Pro will allow for extra detail to be seen on a range of games and also a wider range of colours not usually displayed by traditional HD TVs.

    Will my old PS4 games work on PS4 Pro?

    Yes. While not every game will be patched to take advantage of the new 4K/HDR capabilities, all of your old games will still work. Not only that, but the default upscaling (if you have a 4K TV) will likely see some improvements to the visuals and the boosted console power may give a slight nudge to the frame rates for some smoother play.

    What else can I watch in 4K/HDR on PS4 Pro?

    With services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video adopting 4K and HDR, with an ever-growing library entering the services, the PS4 Pro will be excellent as a streaming and media hub for your home theatre. There’s also a lot of free 4K content on the YouTube app, and Stan has plenty of 4K although no HDR-compatible content yet.

    Does the PS4 Pro support 4K Blu-rays?

    No. The Xbox One S does support them though, so this was a bit of a surprise from Sony. So if you’re specifically after a 4K Blu-ray player then head over to the competition, but as many viewers are crossing over to streaming services for their digital viewing, this may prove a wise move from Sony in the long run.

    Do I need a 4K TV to run a PS4 Pro?

    You don’t NEED a 4K TV, no. The PS4 Pro will still run as per normal on a regular 1080p TV, although you won’t get the benefits of upscaling or HDR though. There’s a chance you may see a frame-rate boost or a slim amount of extra detail, but we wouldn’t expect a massive leap.

    If your mind is on a 4K TV, then you should probably go with a Pro rather than a Slim as it’ll future proof you for a while and, realistically, the price jump is worth the longevity. Be sure to look out for a TV that supports HDR too, in order to take full advantage of the PS4 Pro’s capabilities.

    Will PlayStation VR be better on the PS4 Pro?

    Maybe. Early reports seem to suggest it will as the PlayStation VR frame-rate is better on PS4 Pro and the resolution gets a bit of a bump too. You don’t need a PS4 Pro to use PlayStation VR but this increase in specs may contribute a little to the immersion.

    Does the PS4 Pro have optical audio support?

    Yes! Although the optical audio output has been removed from the PS4 Slim, PS4 Pro owners  will still be able to use optical connections for their soundbars and sound systems.

    What are the best games on PS4 Pro?

    After scrounging through our back catalogue of PS4 games that have received a Pro update patch, we’ve come up with a feature packed with the games that look the best and have a noticeable difference. Take a look at our extensive list – The best PS4 Pro games.

  • Poll: Are You a Fan of Gaming Magazines?

    Are they still relevant?

    The unfortunate news that legendary UK gaming magazine GamesMaster is being shut down has got all of us here at the Push Square office reminiscing about our favourite mags from back in the day. The simple truth is that without publications like the Official PlayStation Magazine, EDGE, and indeed GamesMaster, we probably wouldn’t be writing about video games today.

  • Shakedown: Hawaii Brings Shady Business to PS4 and PS Vita Early Next Year

    Check out a new trailer.

    It feels like we’ve been waiting eons for Shakedown: Hawaii, the follow-up to the enjoyable crime ’em up Retro City Rampage. The wait is nearly over, however, as VBlank Entertainment reveals a brand new trailer and a whole bunch of new info on the PS4 and PS Vita title — including a release window. This 16-bit, Grand Theft Auto inspired romp will be making its way to Sony’s platforms in Q1 2019.

    The game centres around a shady CEO who’s become a bit of a dinosaur. His businesses are failing, so to bring them into the modern world, he has to learn some all new methods. It’s a cool narrative that fits the game’s crime-based gameplay well, as you’ll be taking down competitors and causing all sorts of havoc in order to see your business empire thrive.

  • Images of Red Dead Redemption 2 PS4 Steelbook Emerge, Room for Two Discs Inside

    This town ain’t big enough for the two of us.

    There have been rumours flying around that physical editions of Red Dead Redemption 2 will come with two Blu-Ray discs on PS4. Because it’s being reported everywhere, and because of the huge install size of the game, it’ll probably turn out to be true, but Rockstar has yet to say anything on the matter. However, some fresh evidence has been shared on Reddit that all but confirms it.
