This game Fez looks absolutely badass. It's for pc, has Cave Story art design, and Crush-esque gameplay. Check out the vid.

partly this

partly because these XBLA/PSN eventually come to PC, despite what the developers say.

and Crush came out a second time since this game was in development

I honestly don't care about a bunch of dudes who are upset he said something dumb or off the cuff about Japan. People on forums say dumb stuff all the time. If I was going to start grudges I'd have thousands of them.

I'm curious to try out the game. I wasn't somebody who's anxiously been waiting for it for years so I don't have incredibly high expectations. I'm just looking for a decent to good $10 XBLA title hopefully.

I'd say I would counter you by doing something to piss off westaboos, but I don't even need to bother anymore. Apparently there's a whole company name Bioware that exists just to do that. :P

I was slightly interested at this when it was first announced, when indie games with retro graphics was still a novelty and before I played Crush and Super Paper Mario... but the game being stuck so long in dev hell made me stop caring, and the dev being a dick (a friend of mine is friends with the guy too and says he really is a dick, it's not an act/cry for attention :P ) is the icing on the cake. Much better indie titles out there to spend my money on.

People have recently uncovered his GAF profile as well. His post history, mostly dating back to 3-4 years ago, is very incriminating. It reinforces the idea that he's been a huge douche bag from the very beginning, and that the douchiness  is not a product of his newly found popularity or sudden pein-growth.

the most famous dickery he's done is telling that japanese developer at the gdc conference that japanese games just suck, then apologizing by saying 'sorry if i was harsh but man your games are shit', then doubling down more, then finally apologizing to the guy.

he also took advantage of his game's rather lengthy development process to resubmit his game for another indie award even though he had already won before.  he's very good friends with the top guy of the group that gives the award so that's kind of fishy (lullllz).  phil fish even admitted he was pulling a dick move by entering again, but if it was allowed, it was allowed.  then when he won the award (again) he told everyone to suck his dick.

he said there was no pc version of fez because his vision is that you should be playing fez on a saturday morning with a controller in hand on your comfy couch.

he's deflected comparisons to crush by saying the game has shitty art (which it kinda does but doesn't really address the gameplay comparison, which is more what people are getting at here i'd think)

in general, he's been one of those super-arrogant indie "stars" without even finishing his game.

oh, and he's french-canadian.

There's another one about how he voted against Super Meat Boy for that indie game award thing because it was being published by MS on XBLA (and therefore not indie enough).  Naturally Fez is being published by MS on XBLA.  This info is from the not-Ed-McMillan Team Meat guy, who Fish actually told this to because he has no shame.

this is the one thing that's actually shitty since the winner gets a cash prize (iirc) so it comes off as scammy, robbing other nominees, etc.  but it's more on the IGF.

in his gaf post history (which is mostly full of him mentioning where he worked and bashing the shit out of them, along with a ton of name-dropping andsome Fez promotion towards the end), he mentions he's bipolar... that would explain quite a bit, actually.

Also he mentions his dream collab is with Takahashi (I assume Keita not Tetsuya)... "hey your peoples' games are fucking horrible, but I still want to work with you!"

looks quite good

review are mostly in the 8 to 9 range, depending on the artsyfartsytude of the reviewer.  sounds like it has some major technical problems, crashes, memory leaks making load times longer the more you play, stuttering, and all that.

C'mon now. Shitloads of games get through as retail games and xbla games that are buggy as shit and crash worthy as shit. Relatively speaking of course.

Glad the game seems to be getting good reviews. Makes my purchase easier. I'll be glad when the game comes out so we can actually talk about the game and not about the cult of personality around a dev of a game. Although I have a feeling that will always color the conversations.

Castle Crashers had some horrific bugs when it was released, and took many months to get patched. For instance the game decided to throw all my progress down the toilet when I was 2/3 through the game.

Didn't stop the game being one of the most successful XBLA games! It's still sitting in the top 5, 4 years after it's release. Must have made a trillion dollars

I'm aware of buggy retail releases, but I thought the situation was tighter when it came to XBLA games due the costs and restrictions of game patches. Smaller devs usually try to avoid that.

My experience with the XBLA games I own has been positive enough to assume it was the rule, I guess.

Though I *do* remember CC's debacle now that you've mentioned it.

Played it for about an hour this morning. It's solid. I mean whether you think its 10/10 or 9 out 10 excellent is debatable but I certainly like it in the realm of xbla titles. If it wasn't this dude attached to it, it would probably be this neat little xbla game with none of the drama attached where people feel they have a take a stand on the game. Its exactly what it looks like even if you knew relatively little about it going in. It's puzzle platform game where you use the 3-D perspective shifting mechanic to find hidden collectibles in the environment. I never played the crush game that people were mentioning earlier in the thread but then I'm a person who believes no game is 100% original so that doesn't bother me at all.

The most cloying aspect I would say is that it feels specifically like another of those indie games that revels in its indie-ness which is getting a bit annoying but then there are tons of titles with this attitude on PC released all the time and that doesn't seem to bother anyone. And in that regard at least its less pretentious than something like Braid. The performance hitches sometimes which is annoying but since its mostly a puzzle game where the platforming doesn't need to be amazingly tight like Super Meat Boy or something its not a huge issue for me. Music is really enjoyable. Art is done in that retro style but its solid in what its going for. I like it.

demo was nice.  really clever how it always looks like a 2D game unless you're changing perspective.  all around nice presentation.  don't know if the game pans out but seems a lot less complex than Crush, but seems more exploration-y than puzzle-y.

now I'm playing the sniper elite demo and my bullet went through nazi's testicles and then hit the grenade of the guy behind him.
