Biomutant is Vibrant, Unique, and a Hell of a Lot of Fun - OnlySP

THQ Nordic had a bevy of games available to play on the show floor at this year’s E3. While some attendees eagerly lined up to play Darksiders Genesis (as our own Michael Cripe did), others sought to finally get their hands on Experiment 101’s highly-unique Biomutant for a hands-on, 30-minute demo. Check out OnlySP's thoughts here.

Why is this the first article about biomutant?! I thought it was a no show lol!

I didn't even realize THQ was there. This is sorta why E3 sucks now. Coverage used to be so comprehensive, now it's all about 4 games and CGI trailers.

I'm playing this when I get a chance.

Was this at E3? I don’t mean the pressers was it any of the booths?

AK912201d ago

Was it playable did it look/play rough? Sorry to be a pain but living in Australia I can’t exactly be at the booths :(

MikeCripe2201d ago

It was playable at the THQ booth! Our writer Dimitric (author of the above article) got to play the game for 30 minutes or so. He had never heard of it before and was shocked by what he played. He said he loved just about every second of it.

Thanks man really appreciate it.

Strangeface2202d ago

It’s indeed odd that this is the first time we’ve heard anything of this game with regard to E3. Baffling, actually.

-Foxtrot2201d ago

With how little press or build up this game is getting despite looking pretty good so far makes me think it's going to be one of those games that can go either way

It'll be amazing, an underrated gem which will get lost with all the other big hitters

or

It'll be terrible, a massive disappointment which fails to deliver on what was promised.

Well it doesn’t surprise me. As much money as they make and how they value their employees. It’s a great company in that regard.

Good guy Nintendo
Microsoft and Sony are the bad guys

Well, when your games remain full price many years after release.

And you make profit off of outdated hardware.

I would be shocked if they couldn't afford to retain their staff.

I didn't want to say anything but drivxr is right.

Nintendo always sells at a profit because they purposely use tech that's always 5 or more years behind. And it's also true their games hardly ever get price decreases.

Don't get me wrong, it's great they kept most of their workforce, but making a point to have your tech specs behind everyone else affords that luxury.

I don’t think it’s their purpose to use old tech. It’s their purpose to make value of software and know their value. Nobody makes games like them that’s for sure. I just don’t appreciate their customer unfriendly policy.

It’s not impossible to take their status. Companies need to have a selection of 8-bit and 16-bit. Now imagine a split screen for 8 player game for SNES Mario kart and selling at $9.99. The problem is that it doesn’t make profit. So many companies won’t invest in “old” technology. Everyone guns for triple AAA modern technology software but honestly we can enjoy modernized 16-bit creative ideas that allows 8-player mayhem. It’s a pipe dream, possible but impossible.

If they ended up kicking people out after all of that stated above, it would be truly shameful.
