    The SML Podcast – Episode 1140: State of Play 2026

    It’s that time of year again and we cover the Sony State of Play event in this episode, so let’s go! The show kicks off with Pernell Vaughan and Aki, and later joined by Rez Scott, to chat all about the Sony State of Play Event. From the incredible gore of Wolverine to the fact that GITAROO MAN is joining their Classics program, we cover it all! When you add in discussions on the need for remakes and remasters, the difference between the two, and a whole lot of sidetracking and tangents, we get ourselves a hearty chat wrapping up a one hour conference in about one hour. Time saving!
