Biomutant is arguably the best game announced at gamescom

IndianNoob writes: THQ Nordic officially debuted its upcoming post-apocalyptic kung-fu fable action RPG game, Biomutant, starring a raccoon-cat hybrid protagonist accompanied by his grasshopper friend. But why is it best game announcement at gamescom?

[PiNkFaIrYbOi]

What is a post-apocalyptic kung-fu fable action RPG game suppose to be?

[spoonard]

I don't know, but it sounds awesome!!! lol

[antikbaka]

if it's the best....

[darthv72]

It was like Horizon Zero Dawn meets Master Shifu from Kung Fu Panda

[ONESHOTV2]

how is it like horizon zero dawn?

[darthv72]

The lush open environment and robotic things scattered about. Its just a quick visual reference... nothing more.

[Prubar]

Looks more like enslaved odyssey to the west then horizon.

[InMyOpinion]

Reminds me more of Darksiders 2 mixed with Conker...which is all one can ask for. :D

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I think Horizon Dawn is a bad comparison, it reminds me more of games like Jak and Daxter than Horizon Dawn.

[darthv72]

Jak & Daxter is too cartoony... Horizon is very realistic and this game has that similar realistic environmental design. I never played Enslaved but I can see how its environments and pseudo futuristic layout could be an influence as well.

I mentioned horizon because it is the most current and relevant game that this one looks to be taking queues from. And hey... why not? HZD is a brilliant game to use as a starting point. (if that is what they did)

Age of Empires 4, hands down. Even without gameplay, many people have been waiting AGES for that and the mere announcement is enough to steal the show.

[Christopher]

Out of the about three games announced, it looks to be more my type of game but I hope they fix the quest updates that flash on the screen.

[LIGATURE]

SERIOUSLY THO

[colonel179]

I liked it, but I hated the narration! Narration in a turorial is great, but if it is the whole game, I pass! Hopefully it can be turned off! I really liked everything else!

[NotoriousWhiz]

Bastion did narration pretty good.

[Muadiib]

Kind of, a lot of it happened during hectic combat and so I missed most of it.

[bluefox755]

Tbf, the bar wasn't very high...

[opinionated]

I'm more hyped about Jurassic Park even though it was pre-rendered footage. So much could be done with that. This looks really good too, it's like a steam punk Kung fu panda. It's not an ultra realistic mega drama, it's goofy and it looks fun which is kinda lacking these days.

[The 10th Rider]

Yeah, Gamescoms is great for PC games and there was plenty shown off that was a real treat. A new Anno was announced. Jurassic Park will be great on PC, a new Age of Empires was announced.

[ONESHOTV2]

nope nothing matches AGE OF EMPIRES 4

[Fist4achin]

It looks a little bit like ratchet and clank ish...

[NotanotherReboot]

Look awesome.

[nucky64]

I was very impressed with it - looks like it'll be fun.

[The_Sage]

In my opinion, it looks somewhat childish. I've grown beyond such thing. I may brew very wrong though.

[Muadiib]

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” C.S.Lewis

[The_Sage]

I guess I should better explain. It does not look like something that would appeal to me. It looks like something that would appeal to a child. I no longer play with matchbox cars, I don't play in the sandbox anymore, and I don't watch Saturday morning cartoons. Not because there is something wrong with any of those things, or that I would be embarrassed to do so, but because I don't find those things interesting anymore. I was not trying to shame anyone that is interested in this sort of thing, and I feel that it would be wrong for anyone to try to shame me for pointing out when something looks like it would appeal to a child. I don't watch The Wiggles, I don't play GI Joes, and I don't believe in the Easter Bunny. Are you saying that I should be ashamed of those facts as a married 43 year old man?

[Muadiib]

@ The_Sage I'm just saying maybe you're not as grown up as you think you are, or maybe you've grown up too much and become a grumpy old man ;)

[The_Sage]

I'll defenatly agree with not being as grown up as I sometimes think I am Lol. I still do many things that even I consider childish. On the other hand, I'm turning into a grumpy old man at the same time. Damn kids with their crazy music.

[Hedstrom]

Looks kinda fun, hoping for a bit of a graphical upgrade before release.

[tgonzo]

I just hope it doesn't buckle under the weight of all the many things it is trying to do. Could be awesome, if well executed

[Homies123]

The games direction seems all over the place. I feel like im the only one that wasnt impressed by that trailer besides its graphics. I have to see more

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I was really impressed by the interview/trailer, it has so much going on and I thought it was going to be a mediocre budget title at first.

[Flewid638]

I guess that means Gamescom was terrible then...

[DivineAssault]

It looks cool to me
