Fez may have been an above average game with a great idea behind it, but the biggest name behind the game, Phil Fish, sure as hell knows how to separate himself from his fanbase. After early reports that the game itself runs incredibly badly on PC (it renders at 720p and has Xbox 360 controller images regardless of how you're playing the game), and talk of the Steam release being boycotted thanks to Fish's poor customer relations, the fact that it's still number #1 on Steam pre-release got the outspoken developer more than a little excited.
Random Nintendo shares Indie World highlights and impressions of Fez, There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension, and Aerial_Knight's Never Yield. Plus, The Great Ace Attorney, Microsoft's Switch on a shelf, and more.
With its unique visuals, wonderful soundtrack, and addicting gameplay, FEZ is as much fun to play today as it was nine years ago. Jes from Gaming Respawn reviews.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "In short, Fez is as good now as it has always been. The reason I call this version the best way to experience this indie game is mostly due to the perfect combination of the Switch’s portability and its screen being much larger than the Vita’s. This is easily one of the best indies ever made, and one of the most important games of the past decade. Even though a lot of younger players only know it due to its troubled development cycle and some post-launch controversies, Switch owners should definitely pick this game up. This gem took an eternity to arrive on the system, but it feels right at home on it."
Phil Fish is beginning to build a track record for being very arrogant and disrespectful.
Edit: He was especially disrespectful during last years GDC when he went on a tirade about the Japanese. If he felt that way, then blog it. Don't disrespect them to their face in front of all those people.
Keep burning them bridges Phil.
The guy sounds like a jerk and i could see why his partner left him a while ago who wants to deal with someone who seems so psychotic in a stressful environment like game development. sadly he is a jerk who gets money, but thats the way it is in alot of cases.
LMAO yeah keep it up, Fishy Boy. Karma's a b*tch.
Wow what a massive troll lol.
I'll be making sure I don't buy any games from this guy again.
Yet theres people in the world who would kill to be in the place he is today
Some people don't deserve success
