Video Watch Us Round Up PlayStation at E3 2015
That's a wrap
We may have bleary eyes and itchy armpits, but this video editor has lived to see another E3. This one was particularly exciting, so in order to tie a big pretty bow around proceedings, we've produced a nice video wrap up for you if you can't arsed with, y'know, words. Sit back and watch while we run you through all of Sony's big...
News Sony: We Like to Have a Balance of Sequels and Risky Concepts in Our First-Party Portfolio
Yoshida explains Japanese giant's approach to exclusives
Shuhei Yoshida, the president of Sony's Worldwide Studios network, is one of the most powerful people in gaming. Not only does he have an enormous Twitter following, but he's also in charge of every first-party project that deploys on a PlayStation platform. That means that he's responsible...
Feature Push Square's E3 2015 Game of the Show - Horizon: Zero Dawn
Bring me the Horizon
There hasn't been this much buzz surrounding Guerrilla Games for a while. The first-party firm last truly dropped jaws with its infamous Killzone 2 demo at E3 2005, a clip that turned out to be staged. A decade later, the Dutch developer has learned a lesson or two – it always shows gameplay where possible for a start...
Poll What Was Your Favourite PlayStation Game of E3 2015?
Playing favourites
Wow, what an incredible E3 it's been. Many of the announcements at this year's sun drenched convention outstripped our wildest imaginations, and while the remainder of this year's lineup has been set in stone for some time, there's an enormous amount to look forward to over the coming years – including Shenmue III and Final...
News Sony: We Aren't Making Vita Games Because of Consumer Expectations
Say what?
Don't hold your breath for any big budget PlayStation Vita games. Sony stopped seriously supporting the handheld long ago, but its executives are getting to a point where they're so blunt it hurts. Speaking to Game Informer, Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida said that the real reason the Vita isn't being supported is because...
E3 2015 Pump Yourself Up with This PlayStation Montage
Games! Games! Games!
E3 2015's now well over, which means that plenty of post-show padding content is being published – not least on this very site. Take this trailer that Sony's plastered all over YouTube; it's filled with games, and we're going to do a spot of free advertising for the platform holder and share it with you all. To be fair, it is...
E3 2015 What Remains of Edith Finch Sounds Utterly Insane
Control animals in the search for scran
Remember how The Unfinished Swan frequently introduced new mechanics – only to toss them out about an hour later? Giant Sparrow's pushing that idea further with What Remains of Edith Finch, a game which is all about the ancestry of an unusual family over time. The demo that the developer's showing at E3 2015...
E3 2015 Mirror's Edge Catalyst Will Be More Accessible, But Will Still Reward Skill
Faith no more
Mirror's Edge on the PlayStation 3 was great, but few of its fans would deny that it had problems. The combat was probably right at the top of the list, but it also had some really frustrating difficulty spikes. In the series' sophomore outing, Mirror's Edge Catalyst on the PlayStation 4, it will be a little more forgiving – but...
Feature 10 of the Best PS4 Videos from E3 2015
Blinded by brilliance
E3 2015 almost had too many great videos to count, but we've somehow managed to cut our seemingly endless list of brilliant clips down to the ten best. Now, by ten best, we mean the very best of the best; these are the videos that we reckon defined this year's E3. That said, if you want to scour through almost every piece of...
E3 2015 Bethesda Says Graphics Were Sacrificed for Gameplay in Fallout 4
The beauty of destruction
"Everything that we do is a balance", Bethesda marketing director Pete Hines told GameSpot. The publisher's upcoming open world role-playing game, Fallout 4, got a big showing at this year's E3, but there's been a lot of conversation regarding the title's visual prowess. "We could make the best looking game possible, but...
Soapbox Was E3 2015 Just a Dream?
Sammy Barker reflects on the greatest of all time
I'm half expecting to stir from my slumber any minute, clammy after a restless night filled with vivid dreams. That can't have been E3 2015, can it – a show in which the impossible became possible all within the span of an hour? I've been covering this event for a good six years now, and I know,...
Video Rewatch Sony's Best Ever E3 Press Conference Right Here
An hour and a half of wonder
Isn't it a great time of the year to be Push Square's resident video person? E3 leaks footage like nothing else in gaming, but the highlights are obviously the publisher press conferences. This year's Los Angeles expo was home to what we have dubbed Sony's best ever presser, and your humble host has embedded it in this...
E3 2015 Bizarre PS4 Exclusive The Tomorrow Children Blasts Off in Autumn
Tomorrow Never Dies
The Tomorrow Children is one of the PlayStation 4's strangest exclusives, and a classic example of how the Japanese giant is committed to supporting totally unique experiences. Unique being the strongly operative word here, though, as we're still not entirely sure what the game is actually about. At any rate, the tantalizing...
E3 2015 PS4 First-Person Sandbox RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance Is Definitey One to Watch
Life is not just a fantasy
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a role-playing game, but it doesn't feature any fantasy tropes. There's no magic, no dragons - just you, your trusty blade, and maybe a horse. The successful Kickstarter title's in development at Czech studio Warhorse, and it's planning to release a beta for the game - at least on PC - later...
E3 2015 Almost Half PS4 Owners Never Had a PS3
Changing minds
At this point, we can probably all accept that the PlayStation 3 had problems. It was ultimately a great console, don't get us wrong – but Sony really misfired with the architecture and price, prompting it to lose ground against a very aggressive Xbox 360. With the PlayStation 4, however, the Japanese giant's got back to its...
E3 2015 Sony's Been Borrowing Ideas from Oculus, Says Yoshida
Both products will be launching "very, very soon"
Sony's biggest fear for Project Morpheus isn't that it will be outdone by the Oculus Rift; rather, the company is more concerned that virtual reality may never catch on. That's according to Shuhei Yoshida, the president of Sony's Worldwide Studios, who spoke to Polygon earlier today. "We know each...
E3 2015 Deus Ex: Mankind Divided's 25 Minute PS4 Gameplay Demo Tells You All You Need to Know
Adam's back with a vengeance
Adam Jensen's one hell of a capable operative - that much is clear after watching this 25 minute Deus Ex: Mankind Divided demo. The meaty chunk of gameplay shows off everything from stealth and hacking to the new weapons in Jensen's arsenal - and it all looks pretty great. The game's cyberpunk world seems more stylised...
E3 2015 PS4 Exclusive Dreams Is More Flexible Than LittleBigPlanet
Play, create, share
What is Dreams? Media Molecule isn't really telling us a whole lot about the PlayStation 4 exclusive right now, but Shuhei Yoshida has answers. Chatting on a GameSpot stream with the Kinda Funny crew, the Worldwide Studios president delved into a little more detail about the mysterious project – and promised more information...
E3 2015 So, What Is World of Final Fantasy on PS4 and Vita Exactly?
Final Fantasy for a new generation
When it was first unveiled at Sony's E3 2015 press conference, no one was quite sure what to make of the cutesy World of Final Fantasy. From what we could tell, it seemed to be a more traditional role-playing game, complete with a colourful world and cameos from various Final Fantasy characters and creatures from...
Round Up Your Ultimate Guide to All of E3 2015's Biggest News, Trailers, and Announcements
What a week that was
Can you believe it? E3 2015 just about done after almost a solid week of hectic coverage. For us, it's time for a break, but for you, the next couple of weeks are going to seem decidedly drab in comparison - perhaps even boring. Still, this year's Los Angeles-based expo proved to be well worth the fuss, granting us five big...
E3 2015 Nintendo Doesn't Have High Hopes for Project Morpheus
"It's not fun"
Make no mistake, virtual reality is big at this year's E3. Sony may have cunningly glossed over Project Morpheus during its press conference, but it's pushing the headset in its booth in a big way. In fact, with even Microsoft joining the race in various different ways, Nintendo's the only current console maker to not have something...
E3 2015 What's Going on with Gravity Rush 2?
Come, come, kitty, kitty
Gravity Rush is one of this author's favourite new franchises of the past five years. Kat's inaugural outing on the PlayStation Vita may not have been perfect, but it had enough personality and gameplay nuance to make it a property worth investing in. It's a shame, then, that following the announcement of a sequel a few...
E3 2015 Don't Count on Playing Cuphead on the PS4
Gunstar zeroes
You win some, you lose some. And Sony has definitely missed out when it comes to Cuphead, the intriguing 1930s cartoon-inspired run-'n'-gun shooter from Canadian outfit Studio MDHR. You may have spotted during Microsoft's press conference that this was listed as a console exclusive for the Xbox One – and the Redmond firm has...
E3 2015 PS4 Horror RPG Vampyr Gets Its Very First Trailer
Biting back
Vampyr is currently in the works over at Dontnod Entertainment, but all we've seen regarding the game is some very vague concept art. Fortunately, the developer's released something slightly more tangible: the title's very first trailer. Again, it's more of a mood setter than anything, but it's still the most that we've seen of the...
E3 2015 Last Year's Model Is Back in Uncharted 4 By the Way
Elena, here be
Just in case you missed the memo: Elena is back in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. Nathan Drake's put upon partner was revealed in a batch of screenshots that Sony released following this week's E3 2015 press conference, but she also apparently features in the extended footage that's being shown to the press. The clip that the platform...
E3 2015 Metal Gear Solid V's Incredible 40 Minute PS4 Gameplay Demo Is an Absolute Must-See
Top dog
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain releases on the 1st September, and this brilliant 40 minute gameplay demo could very well persuade you to part with your cash just over two months from now.

E3 2015 20 New Destiny: The Taken King Screenshots Aim to Blow You Away
Return of the king?
Destiny fans are getting pretty hyped about upcoming expansion The Taken King.

After two relatively disappointing slices of downloadable content in its lifetime so far, we're hoping...

Did you beat E3?
Uh oh, it's time to find out whether you lot were spot on or dead wrong with regards to this year's E3.

What are you buying?
This ain't Game of the Show yet folks – though that's coming, don't worry. This is more: we've got a nifty new tool here at Push Square Towers so let's find an excuse to use it. Sony had lots of PlayStation 4 exclusives on display this week, so we figured that we may as well poll you on which ones you're planning to buy –...
E3 2015 Thank Heavens Sony Didn't Change Horizon's Protagonist
"Is it risky to do a female character?"
It's a sad reality that some gamers are close-minded – after all, we've all seen what's happened to our wonderful hobby over the past year. But while we're not here to preach to any one of you on this site, we will say that we're glad that Sony and Guerrilla Games stuck to its guns with Horizon: Zero Dawn's...
E3 2015 This PS4 Footage of Unravel Will Melt Your Heart
An epic yarn
Depending on who you ask, the highlight of EA's slightly lackluster E3 conference this year was adorable puzzle platformer Unravel. Thankfully, the gorgeous game featured on PlayStation's E3 live show, and you can catch the replay down below, which sees its earnest develo
E3 2015 Transformers: Devastation's Vehicle Attacks Are More Than Meets the Eye
Autobots, roll out
Back when Transformers: Devastation first leaked, we pondered how the vehicle transformations in the title would work. There were no screenshots showing off any of the playable Autobots in their transformed state, so we wondered whether developer Platinum Games had ripped that part of the experience out. It turns out that it's...
E3 2015 Shenmue III Expands with Fresh Stretch Goals
We love these
Shenmue III has rocketed past $3 million, meaning that it's time for some new Stretch Goals to be added to the campaign. These focus on Baisha Village, one of the three main hub areas in the game. The additions run from $4 million to $5 million, and include additional quests, mini-games, and battle events. If we had to guess, Yu Suzuki...
E3 2015 Call of Duty: Black Ops III's Beta Comes First to PS4
Plus, campaign co-op footage
Call of Duty: Black Ops III may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's in Sony's court now, so expect to see a lot more of the series on the PlayStation Blog. And just in case you missed the announcement during the Japanese giant's big press conference: the game's beta will launch first on the PlayStation 4, while all...
E3 2015 Uncharted 4 Aiming for 30FPS Single Player, 60FPS Multiplayer
Pushing the pretty
Few would disagree that Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is the best looking game at E3 2015, and that means that it's not going to hit its original 60 frames-per-second target. Speaking on a GameSpot livestream earlier in the week, lead game designer Kurt Margenau revealed that the studio's now targeting 30 frames-per-second for the...
E3 2015 Shadow of the Beast May Be PS4's Bloodiest Game
Gore, blimey
Shadow of the Beast is a beloved brand for many, so there was a mixture of excitement and trepidation when Heavy Spectrum announced that it would be taking the series' reins and rebooting it for the PlayStation 4. This first footage of the new-gen version proves that there was little to worry about, however, as the release is looking...
E3 2015 This Yooka-Laylee Footage Will Make You Feel Like a Child Again
Off-screen but ace
Whisper it, but the old Nintendo 64 collect-a-thons are some of this author's favourite games. Yooka-Laylee is guaranteed to be a real PlayStation 4 treat, then – and it's coming along alarmingly well. Despite only just completing its Kickstarter campaign, this off-screen footage from E3 2015 shows plenty of promise already...
E3 2015 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 Looks Crap
Epic bail
Many dreams have come true at E3 2015 – but a good Tony Hawk title is a fantasy too far. The first screenshots of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 looked rough, but the debut gameplay footage is even worse. We're not just talking about the graphics either: the level design and physics also look bad. To be fair, the game's still in development,...
E3 2015 Sony Bend's Mysterious PS4 Exclusive Is Looking and Playing Good
Shuhei Yoshida chimes in
Perhaps the best thing about Sony's big E3 2015 press conference this week is that, while the Japanese giant revealed enough to sate its rabid fanbase, it also kept a fair amount in the locker. One such game that remains unannounced is the latest from Uncharted: Golden Abyss developer Sony Bend – and speaking on a GameSpot...
E3 2015 Headmaster Looks Like It'll Give You a Headache
On our 'ead
Here's a novel idea for a Project Morpheus game: heading practice. An exclusive for Sony's virtual reality device, Headmaster whisks you away to a futuristic training ground, where you'll be bombarded with different kinds of balls which you must direct into targets with your tête. It's like a Virtua Tennis minigame – only you play it...
E3 2015 Dreams Is Clearly PS4's Craziest Exclusive Ever
Dream a dream
Dreams is the kind of game that, truthfully, you'd only ever find on a PlayStation platform. The fact that Sony has allowed Media Molecule to spend the past four or so years working on a title that can't even be easily explained is a testament to the creativity that courses through the company as a whole. Still, it would be nice to...
E3 2015 The Last Guardian Explores the Relationship Between People and Animals
Based Ueda
Love it or loathe it, games like The Last Guardian just don't get made. This a blockbuster title in every sense of word, and it clearly has a colossal [Pun intended – Ed] budget behind it. So, in a year where Ubisoft's big reveal was a Ghost Recon reboot that looked almost identical to its still-in-development The Division, it's...
News Sony: Backward Compatibility Is a Requested Feature, But Not Greatly Used
That's one angle
Sony has no plans to add backward compatibility to the PlayStation 4, as it doesn't believe that the feature is particularly greatly used. Speaking with MCV at E3 2015, SCEE gaffer Jim Ryan explained that the Japanese giant has opted to invest its resources into other areas of its console – even though it admits that the Xbox...
E3 2015 Shenmue III Now Has a Guinness World Record
Ain't even sweaty yet
Some salty individuals may want you to stop pledging your money to Shenmue III, but that ain't stopping the project from soaring through its stretch goals.

E3 2015 Take a Look at Street Fighter V Kicking Butt on the PS4
Insert shoryuken pun here
Street Fighter V had a pretty minuscule presence at Sony's E3 2015 press conference, but that's understandable since it's available elsewhere at the Los Angeles expo. Still, if you're looking for some footage taken directly from the PlayStation 4 version of the game, you've come to the right place. During Sony's live show...
Reaction Sony Proves That PS4's Got a Stranglehold on Consoles at E3 2015
Manufacturer's melted back into market leader role
Sony has the console market in a stranglehold with the PlayStation 4, and E3 2015 reinforced that point. There was a worry after the device's almost immaculate launch that it would rest on its laurels, but it appears that the enormous success of the system has only motivated it more – it's choking...
E3 2015 Sony's Shawn Layden Says 'Less Talk, More Game' Was the E3 Mantra
Sony exec pulled no punches
Shawn Layden pretty much cemented his place in the E3 hall of fame after Sony's ridiculously good E3 2015 press conference. The executive's still relatively new to taking the reigns at the Los Angeles show, but with a snappy script, and some spot-on speaking backed by plenty of utterly mindblowing announcements, the...
E3 2015 Watch Sony Bang on About The Last Guardian After Its E3 Showstopper
The beast returns
Sony seems as excitable as us with regards to the fact that The Last Guardian is, y'know, actually a real game. The PlayStation Blog's Justin Massongill sat down to talk about the long awaited adventure during the company's post-conference E3 live coverage. You can relive the moment that The Last Guardian was re-revealed through...
E3 2015 Here's Some More Uncharted 4 as Naughty Dog Explains The Game's Brilliant E3 Demo
Don't hit the brakes
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's gameplay demo absolutely blew us away at Sony's E3 2015 press conference. The presentation, which included a gob-stopping jeep-driving section as Nate and Sully attempt to escape an armoured truck, has spawned many questions regarding how the automobile controls, and what the development process of...
E3 2015 How Much of an RPG Is PS4's Horizon: Zero Dawn?
It's still not entirely clear
Horizon: Zero Dawn, the ambitious new property from Guerrilla Games, dazzled during Sony's big E3 2015 media briefing this week – but we don't actually know a lot about the game. We know that you'll play as Aloy, a young female protagonist from a tribe who's adept at hunting Machines – the robotic creatures who have...
E3 2015 Sony to Bring PS4 Prices Down in Brazil
Kidneys no longer requested as payment
A niche bit of news for you here, but interesting nonetheless: Sony will begin manufacturing the PlayStation 4 in Brazil, in an effort to bring prices down. Previously, the platform retailed for a ridiculous $1,850 – a figure that even the Japanese giant admitted was outrageous. But it did stress that it was...
E3 2015 Final Fantasy VII's PS4 Remake May Not Be Exactly How You Remember It
Growing pains
Many of you probably have the plot of Final Fantasy VII memorised, but Square Enix has hinted that the release's PlayStation 4 remake – which was announced earlier this week to rapturous response – could deviate from the original story. "We've announced an HD port version on the PS4, and then we have the remake coming to PS4,"...
E3 2015 Capcom's Morpheus Tech Demo Is Set in a Creepy Kitchen
Ready, steady, chop
Virtual reality is big right now, in case you hadn't noticed. There are a ton of games being announced for Project Morpheus, but there are just as many tech demos being revealed as well. It seems that rather than jumping right in, most big publishers are opting to experiment instead – and Capcom's own Kitchen is one title...
E3 2015 PS4 Exclusive NieR New Project Is Not a Sequel
NieR, far
Square Enix has dropped a handful of bombs this week, with Final Fantasy VII Remake finally becoming a reality and all that. NieR New Project, announced to be in development for the PlayStation 4 during Square Enix's press conference yesterday, was one such shock – as famed developer Platinum Games is leading production. And speaking in...
E3 2015 Summer Lesson Is Morpheus' Most Colourful Game Yet
The holiday of your dreams
Summer Lesson, the Project Morpheus-powered studying simulation from Bandai Namco's industrious Tekken team, appears to have ditched the creepy schoolgirl aspect of its original reveal – opting instead for a sunny experience in which you'll spend time in an idyllic holiday home with the girl of your dreams. Still a bit...
E3 2015 Arcade Classic Battlezone Targets Morpheus Reboot
Tank! Tank! Tank!
This author's a little too young to remember Battlezone, but for many it provided a formative arcade experience. For those that don't know, the cabinet came with a kind of periscope, which was used as a window into the polygonal action. Your objective in the Atari game was to bust wireframe tanks – and now Rebellion is bringing...
E3 2015 Godling Is a Gorgeous Morpheus Game Where You Play God
Gaze upon your kingdom
Ever wondered what it'd be like to be a God?

Blessed with various powers, you can help to make your surroundings...
E3 2015 Kerbal Space Program Engineers a Path to PS4
Pretty fly
Spaceship building simulation Kerbal Space Program will release on the PlayStation 4, it's been announced. The port was revealed at E3 2015 overnight, but there's no word on a release date just yet for the uber-popular indie. Sony will see it as another real win, however, as it continues to covet some of the biggest independently...
E3 2015 The Last Guardian's PS3 Trailer Wasn't Quite Real
Sony 'specced up' the footage
Well, this is awkward. When Sony re-revealed The Last Guardian this week, many suggested that it looked similar to the title's PlayStation 3 trailer from all those years ago. "What has Team ICO been doing?" the people with pitchforks cried. Speaking with Kotaku, Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida admitted that...
E3 2015 Sony's Done Making Big Games for PS Vita
And that was the end of that
Sony may be unsure whether the PlayStation Vita is a legacy device, but the platform holder has ruled out the development of any future blockbusters for the format regardless. Speaking with IGN, Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida said that the organisation will not be making any more AAA first-party games. Don't...
E3 2015 Why Didn't Sony Show More Morpheus During Its Presser?
Obvious, really
The big rumour going into E3 2015 was that Sony was going to spotlight the PlayStation 4's innovative Project Morpheus headset pretty heavily during its press conference – but it didn't. While the headset was certainly discussed by gaffer Andrew House, it was only mentioned on stage for a matter of minutes. And speaking on the...
Feature We Grade E3 2015's Press Conferences
Sink or swim
You're in for it now publishers, because Push Square's coming to pick apart your press conferences bit by bit. Always good fun, looking back at the big events of E3 after most of the hype has passed is a nice way to round off gaming's most hectic period.

E3 2015 PS4 Medieval Brawler For Honor Looks Brutally Brilliant in These Screenshots
Cleaved in twain
Phwoar, these new For Honor screenshots have got us hot under our armour.

You can watch gameplay of For Honor through...
E3 2015 Sword Art Online Titles Slash into E3 with Two New Trailers
Razor sharp
Enhanced port Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment, and all-new PlayStation 4 and Vita title Sword Art Online: Lost Song have both sliced their way into E3 2015 with two fresh trailers. The former's clip showcases quite a lot of gameplay, and it's looking pretty nifty running on the PlayStation 4, while the latter's video goes for a...
E3 2015 Sony's Partnering with Yu Suzuki on Shenmue III Production
"We're going to be partners the whole way"
As exciting as Shenmue III's reveal has been, the nature of the release's relationship with Sony has been a little muddy. Currently, we know that it's coming to the PlayStation 4 and PC – but an update to the title's Kickstarter page suggested that other systems could be added to the mix. We assumed that...
E3 2015 Why Has The Last Guardian Taken So Long?
"Sometimes it takes a really long time to realise a vision"
The Last Guardian was undoubtedly one of the highlights of Sony's big E3 2015 media briefing last night. It's taken Fumito Ueda and his team seven long years to get the former PlayStation 3 exclusive up to a standard where it's presentable outside of trailer form, but finally, we got a...
E3 2015 Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4's E3 PS4 Gameplay Trailer Will Blow You Away
Quite literally
No one does anime-style action quite like CyberConnect2, as evidenced by Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4's brand new E3 2015 trailer. One astounding attack after the next is dropped throughout this glorious gameplay footage, and, truth be told, even we felt a little out of breath by the time it was over. The PlayStation 4...
E3 2015 NA PSN Sale Spotlights the Best of the Los Angeles Show
Some titles 60 per cent off
In the mood for some actual games following this week's E3 2015 goodness? Of course you darn well are. It's probably a good thing that Sony's dropped a new sale on the North American PlayStation Store, then, spotlighting some of the legendary games from the Los Angeles-based show. For example, you'll be able to get Alien...
E3 2015 Oh No, the PS4 Port of Final Fantasy VII Has Been Delayed Until Late 2015
Say it ain't so
We're not sure about you, but we're finding it pretty difficult to maintain hype for the PlayStation 4 port of Final Fantasy VII. It's probably because, y'know, an actual remake of the PSone classic was announced at Sony's E3 2015 press conference, which we guess renders the mentioned port a bit obsolete. Yes, you read that right:...
E3 2015 Godzilla on PS4 Rampages Through E3 With a Brand New Gameplay Trailer
King of the monsters
What kind joke would E3 be without PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 smash-'em-up Godzilla storming the Los Angeles event? In the game's newest, suitably bombastic trailer, we see the overgrown lizard and all of his monster pals kick the snot out of each other, wrecking cities as they go. It's arguably the title's best clip yet...

E3 2015 Persona 5 Gets an English Trailer, and It's Still Slated For a 2015 Western Release
Now it's personal
Atlus has begun its Western push of Persona 5 courtesy of the role-playing game's first English trailer, published alongside the title's official English website. Disappointingly, the clip contains the same footage that we've seen before, but it's still well worth watching again for its glorious sense of style. Perhaps the big...
Round Up What Did Square Enix Announce During Its E3 2015 Press Conference?
Stop press
Another newbie at this year's E3 when it comes to publisher press conferences, Square Enix grabbed the bull by the horns and took the expo to task. The Japanese company showcased the likes of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Kingdom Hearts III, and Just Cause 3, but it was Nier that managed to get the most attention. If you missed any of the big...
Talking Point Was Square Enix's E3 2015 Press Conference a Success?
Keyblade kings
Square Enix's E3 2015 press conference was a slightly more humble affair compared to the bombast of yesterday's pressers, but the publisher still managed to pack it with a diverse selection of games. The new Nier title announced for the PlayStation 4 was probably the biggest highlight, but the sumptuous new Kingdom Hearts III footage...

As expected, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided took up a decent chunk of Square Enix's E3 2015 press conference. The cyberpunk sequel got a shiny new trailer at the event, complete with the grizzly voice of main character Adam Jensen. Mostly made up of gameplay, the footage looks pretty great, and it seems as though Jensen's going to be...
E3 2015 Mark Your Target with Hitman PS4's First Gameplay Trailer
Slap head's back
There's a new Hitman game due out on the PlayStation 4 this year, so it's handy that we've got our first taste of the title courtesy of Square Enix's big E3 2015 media briefing. It's still not entirely clear how this release will work, but developer IO Interactive's talking a big game, in which it intends to iterate on the...
E3 2015 Get a Glimpse of Star Ocean 5 PS4 Gameplay Straight from Square's Presser
A drop in the ocean
The oddly named Star Ocean 5: Integrity and Faithlessness got its first gameplay showing at Square Enix's E3 2015 press conference. The action role-playing game seems a little rough around the edges, but the developer stressed that a very early build of the release was on show. Sporting some nicely crafted environments and some...
E3 2015 Just Cause 3 Sets the World on Fire 1st December
Grappling hooks and explosions: the video game
Just Cause 2 was good, stupid fun. It's only fitting, then, that Just Cause 3 should take that same absurdity to a new level. This is looking to be a big release for Square Enix – it was the first game the publisher showed off, and representatives seemed keen to stress that they're standing firmly...
E3 2015 Square Enix's New Team Tokyo RPG Factory Reveals Project Setsuna
All-new franchise for consoles
Square Enix's closing announcement didn't carry quite as much clout as we may have been hoping, but confirmation of the company's new JRPG-focused studio Tokyo RPG Factory is exciting. While we didn't see much, company gaffer Yosuke Matsuda revealed that a new title by the team named Project Setsuna will launch on...
E3 2015 We'll Hear More About Final Fantasy VII's Full PS4 Remake This Winter
We're in for cloudy weather
Square Enix was back to its old tricks during its live E3 2015 press conference, as it decided to show the same Final Fantasy VII Remake trailer that debuted at Sony's earlier event. The CG clip sent shivers through our bodies once again, but sadly, the Japanese publisher didn't have anything new to share. You can watch...
E3 2015 Kingdom Hearts III Wins The Key to Our Hearts with Gameplay Trailer
More than meets the eye
After scaring all of Square Enix's E3 2015 conference viewers by showing a Kingdom Hearts mobile game at first, the Japanese publisher relieved everyone's fears by following this up with the most anticipated title of the show: Kingdom Hearts III. Thankfully, not only did we get a cutscene with a young Xenanhort and (perhaps)...
E3 2015 A New Nier by Platinum Games Will Grace the PS4
Nice to have you Nier
Nier released in 2010 to mixed reception with its story, characters, and gameplay, but has its passionate fans that revere the title like a cult classic. So, when Square Enix announced at its E3 2015 conference that Platinum Games will be taking the reigns of the series with several significant Japanese game industry veterans...
Live Watch Square Enix's E3 2015 Press Conference Right Here
Deus Ex! Hitman! Kingdom Hearts III?
Square Enix has already dropped one of the biggest bombs of E3 2015 by announcing that it's remaking Final Fantasy VII for the PlayStation 4 – but what other surprises could its press conference a hold? We're certain to see Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Hitman, but could Kingdom Hearts III also put in an...
E3 2015 You Won't Be Receiving a Retail Release of Shenmue III PS4
Don't you know that's way uncool
Much like antagonist Chai, Yu Suzuki has chewed up any hope of a retail release of Shenmue III on the PlayStation 4 – for now. Following last night's shock announcement, a few firm details are starting to emerge regarding the perennially pined after sequel. An updated FAQ, for example, reveals that SEGA has given...
E3 2015 Guerrilla Cambridge's RIGS Marries Mechs with Morpheus
Mech it happen
Guerrilla isn't just working on Horizon: Zero Dawn for the PlayStation 4 – its satellite studio Cambridge is also, as rumoured, busy beavering away on a mech game. However, what we didn't know when we reported on this yesterday is that it will be Project Morpheus compatible – and it actually looks pretty cool. RIGS: Mechanized...
E3 2015 Here's How to Sign Up for Street Fighter V's PS4 Beta

Sony and Capcom understandably want the launch of Street Fighter V to go well next year, so it's no surprise that the companies are currently planning out a PlayStation 4 beta.

E3 2015 Destiny: The Taken King Includes Exclusive PlayStation Spoils
For the Guardians
As expected, Sony took the opportunity during its big E3 2015 press conference last night to announce Destiny: The Taken King for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 – a souped expansion that will be available from 15th September. And as has become customary for the series, there'll be a little extra content for fans of the...
E3 2015 Guerrilla Games' Gorgeous PS4 Exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn Is One to Watch
Dutch developer serves up fascinating new PlayStation franchise
If last night's E3 2015 press conference from Sony had been a normal one, we'd probably be all cooing over Horizon: Zero Dawn right now. Sadly for Guerrilla Games, its new intellectual property got overshadowed somewhat by bigger announcements – but take nothing away from the title,...
E3 2015 Explore the City of Glass in Its Entirety in Mirror's Edge Catalyst on PS4
Glass whoa
Mirror's Edge Catalyst is not only the next entry in a beloved franchise – it's a new beginning, too. Due out from 23rd February on the PlayStation 4, the sequel will ditch the linear structure of its predecessor, giving you a full sandbox to play with. The title – developed by the ever-busy DICE – will once again see you assume the...
E3 2015 Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls Confirmed for PS4
The origami killer awaits
And the surprises just keep coming. Alright, we've know about this one for eternity: Quantic Dream's divisive adventure Beyond: Two Souls is coming to the PlayStation 4. There's more, however: Heavy Rain will be joining it as part of a Blu-ray double pack. The downside is that it'll only be available in Europe, which is...
E3 2015 Solve Assassin's Creed Syndicate's Dreadful Crimes Exclusively on PS4
Channel your inner Sherlock Holmes
After a brief spell in Microsoft's corner, Assassin's Creed Syndicate is returning the franchise to the PlayStation fold. And, much like previous co-marketing partnerships that Sony has established with Ubisoft, there'll be a little extra content available for PlayStation 4 players. Announced during the Japanese...
E3 2015 What Have They Done to Lara Croft's Face in Rise of the Tomb Raider?
Changing appearances
Seeing as Microsoft stuck rigidly to its Holiday 2015 qualifier for Rise of the Tomb Raider's exclusivity, we can safely assume that it's coming to the PlayStation 4 next year. As such, we're stretching things a little, we know – but its gameplay demonstration is probably just about worth sharing here. In the clip, we see...
E3 2015 Stare Agape at The Last Guardian PS4 Screenshots
Agro! Agro
The Last Guardian re-emerged during Sony's big E3 2015 press conference in dramatic fashion last night. Fumito Ueda, the director of the long-in-development first-party game, lapped up plenty of applause following a lengthy gameplay demo, as Shuhei Yoshida quite literally shouted out in excitement on the PlayStation maker's stage. And...
E3 2015 Shenmue III Will Have Its Revenge as Kickstarter Succeeds
"I see"
Ten hours after appearing during PlayStation's big E3 2015 press conference in dramatic fashion, Shenmue III has hit its funding target. The game – which will now launch on the PlayStation 4 and PC – smashed all sorts of records, racing to its $2 million target faster than any other title in history. Let's hope that the funders don't...
Round Up What Did Sony Announce During Its E3 2015 Press Conference?
GOAT
The biggest press conference for PlayStation fans is over, and Sony – as its wont to do at these kind of events – dropped a truckload of announcements. The highlight of the organisation's jaw-dropping showing is impossible to pick, but honourable mentions must go to The Last Guardian, Final Fantasy VII, and Shenmue III. Of course, you...
Talking Point Did Sony's Big E3 2015 Press Conference Deliver?
The big one
The doors of the LA Convention Centre haven't even opened yet, but E3 2015 has already been crazy. Sony has just rounded out a blockbuster day of media briefings, where the likes of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Project Morpheus featured prominently. Arguably the biggest announcement, though, was Shenmue III. And Final Fantasy VII...
E3 2015 Hitman Starts Anew on the PS4 Later This Year
"Good to have you back."
One would think that the next Hitman would be your typical sequel, innovating on top of what the last game did well and improving what it failed to deliver. However, the sixth game in the long-running franchise is simply titled "Hitman", which seems to be like a soft reboot of sorts for Agent 47 come December 8th, 2015...
E3 2015 World of Final Fantasy Brings Square Enix's Beloved Universe to PS4, Vita
What a world
A surprise announcement at Sony's E3 press conference - and not just because it's coming to Vita - Square Enix is developing a turn-based role-playing game known as World of Final Fantasy. The title, which is incredibly cute, celebrates the, er, world of Final Fantasy. The release's debut trailer is a short one, but we're certainly...
