Deserving of the superlatives. Don’t pay too much mind to the freakish aesthetics of Super Mega Baseball 3’s fictional stars: this cartoony sports sequel has all the trappings of a true simulation, but it’s all packed up in an alarmingly accessible wrapper. It means that practically anyone can step up to the plate and knock […]
Sheeva, Fujin, and RoboCop gameplay. In case you missed the memo, Mortal Kombat 11 is getting a substantial expansion later this month named Aftermath. In addition to delving deeper into the storyline with this DLC, it’s bringing three new playable characters to the fore. Sheeva and Fujin are returning fighters from previous entries, while guest […]
No neutral venues needed. Real-world football may be on hiatus in most parts of the world, but FIFA 20 is about to get a jolt of life as it’s been added to the EA Access Vault. This means that existing subscribers to the PlayStation 4 service can download and play the soccer sim without spending […]
Showtime. Bloody hell, it’s getting harder to keep track of all these digital events and showings isn’t it? Fortunately for you, we’ll soon have a way to keep track of everything right here on Push Square in the near future — but all you need to know right now is that there’ll be a ‘Special […]
And that’s a good thing. This industry craves new intellectual property at every opportunity, but I believe the PlayStation 5 will be sold on the strength of its sequels. Sony has been excellent at re-imagining its roster of franchises every generation: Naughty Dog famously ditched Jak & Daxter in favour of Uncharted; Sucker Punch moved […]
Strictly business. Mafia III may have had its shortcomings, but 2K Games’ crime series continues to have a lot of spirit. And now, amid rumours of a Mafia II remaster and a full-blown sequel, the franchise’s social media account has sprung into life. Writing on Twitter for the first time in almost two years, the […]
No roadmap for return. Sony has suspended the PlayStation Store in China, with no guarantee of when it will return. According to the organisation’s official Weibo account, it’s been taken down due to a “security upgrade” – although unsurprisingly, the virtual plaza remains open for business around the rest of the globe. According to analyst […]
Sticky situation. Speaking as part of a live episode of Geoff Keighley’s Bonus Round this week, Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter suggested that Microsoft may undercut the price of the PlayStation 5 this holiday. According to the industry analyst, he thinks Sony will charge $500 for its next-gen console, giving its Redmond competitor the opportunity […]
Yes, really. We all know that PlayStation 5’s lead system architect, Mark Cerny, has the most soothing voice in the games industry. He always speaks in a relaxed tone, as though he’s reading us all a bedtime story. It’s never not a pleasure to listen to the man talk, even when it’s about next-gen mumbo […]
Mean beans. We’ve not seen much of Fall Guys for quite a while, so it’s nice to have this new trailer from publisher Devolver Digital. The game, which is sort of like a mix between Takeshi’s Castle and Gang Beasts, pits dozens of online players against each other in a series of elimination rounds with […]
