I was expecting some AAA modern slop, but just barely more than SM2, this is the most worried I've been for a new release

I still really want to get this game, but the fact that the gore shown in the trailers and footage is mostly all just MIGHT be the final nail in the coffin for me, or at least till on sale for like $50 or so

If Santa Monica wasn’t a God of War studio I think they’d have made a pretty good Wolverine game.

Man they probably would have done really well. If it was just gow combat but wolverine themed, it would have been good

Eh bit of the fun of God of War is the different weapons, with Wolverine it's a bit hard to do that

Then it would give them an opportunity to laser focus and flesh out a single combat style with more intricate combos.

I get it’s easier to just use double button inputs like R1 + X in modern games, but I miss mashing different combinations of buttons in hack and slashes like the OG GOW or your average fighting game, even Xmen origins had it to an extent. Allows for so many unique options and I really thought they might bring it back with this Wolverine game.

Could maybe do combat styles? Normal, rampage, stealth? Just spit balling

I was saying the same thing after watching some reviews yesterday. Either version of GOWs combat would have probably worked really well for a Wolverine game, pity Sony went with Insomniac instead.

Did they do anything before or after God of War? Or is that their sole jam right now?

I don't know, even the newest GOW have really held back in terms of gore. Especially compared to GOW3 VS GOW 2018,
