VGChartz’s Evan Norris: “Playing Ultracore in 2020 feels like a miracle. Designed in the early 90s by Digital Illusions (currently known as DICE) Ultracore — at that time titled Hardcore — was cancelled at the last minute by publisher Psygnosis, who feared the Mega Drive game would flop in the shadow of Sony’s PlayStation. Fast forward to 2019, when Strictly Limited Games salvaged the code, revived the game, and packaged it alongside the aftermarket Mega Sg console. Now, in 2020, the game officially cancelled in 1994 has come to Switch and PS4. The question remains: was it worth saving?”
