It fully and faithfully recreates the 20-year-old original’s opening movie (albeit with a nice lick of paint) and…
Tinfoil hat secured. PlayStation is due to broadcast its latest State of Play event on Wednesday, January 31st, 2024 (that’s tomorrow, folks), and if rumours are to be believed, we may see the return of Sega’s 2011 platformer, Sonic Generations.
