There were a few things that felt nailed on to appear during Wednesday's State of Play - a better look at Saros, a Wolverine re-reveal, and a first look at whatever Santa Monica has cooking for God of War. Two out of three ain't bad, I guess, and at least God of War got a controller. Kratos fans aren't happy with how PlayStation presented it, though.
The God of War 20th anniversary DualSense reveal began with a black rock breaking apart, music swelling, all of which pointed to something God of War-related. Those watching were expecting something about the next game in the series, with chatter about a 2.5D Metroidvania circulating for a while. Hence the disappointment when the rocks broke away, and all PlayStation had to reveal to celebrate God of War turning 20 is a new controller.
And not exactly a very inspired one either.
Some still clung to the hope that the controller reveal was an appetizer readying them for a new God of War game trailer, but that slot was saved for Wolverine. Likely a tactical placement, using the showstopper to make people forget that all they got from God of War...
