Phil Fish Says He'll Make Fez 2 if He Gets Verified on Twitter

8CN: Phil Fish has tweeted saying he will make Fez 2 if Twitter verifies his account.

[pwnsause_returns]

i love your game man, but jeez, you're such an attention whore...

[iamnsuperman]

I disliked Fez. It had this interesting concept I wanted to love but when I played it I felt lost (going in a direction with no idea on how to get back or really where I was), I didn't know why I was going that way (which led me to get a bit bored) and I found the puzzle intelligent but way to overly complicated to be called good game design. I liken it to academic writing. There is an interesting point to be read but it is covered with flowery language to give it more self worth than it needs to be

I had no desire to finish it

[paddy95]

My thoughts exactly. Good idea, but poorly executed. It really needed someone focused on tight level design.

[Kiddcarter]

Wow I thought I was the only one who felt that way about the game, bought it on ps4 and wanted to like it but just couldn't

[Hellsvacancy]

That makes four of us, I wanted to like Fez, I just didn't, it started off charming enough but after an hour or two the charm wore off

Didn't finish it, not likely to either

[MRMagoo123]

I got it free from psn plus and havent even tried it yet my son says its crap tho lol.

[uth11]

Lol! Me too. I thought the concept was cool, but I got bored playing it after a short time.

[HarvesterOSarow]

I personally like the game. I have beaten it around 4 times now and I have enjoyed it every time. I think some people expect it to be something it isn't.

I do agree that you can tend to feel lost while playing. The first time through, I actually made it like 61% and didn't even realize there was a map.

Yes, there is a map, and it is intricate and abstract in its own way. Figuring out how to use the map can even be a difficult task, due to the retro look though. I expected it to be a game made with the image of old school behind it, so it was like playing NES games again.

The soundtrack is great, the dialogue is witty and the puzzles are really well done (some are very hard). My only dislike is the reliance on the internet to get through a few. I know for certain there is a puzzle that you would not be able to solve by yourself and it required many people coming together to work towards a resolution.

That being said, he designed the puzzle to be that way.

I do understand your criticism though, but I actually think FEZ was one of my favorite games of the year. And I have not disliked anyones comment because voicing a different opinion is what the internet is about :D

Maybe one day, despite Phil fishes douchebaggery, you will decide to give it another try. It is very unique.

[user1439414]

Its people like YOU who make devs like Phil Fish never want to make a game ever game. All you do is complain about everything and criticise a game he spent most of his life making. Next time you want to bash a game please think about what harm you are doing to the gaming industry and to developers lives.

[HammadTheBeast]

Is this guy for real? How egotistic do you have to be to actually bribe a game for attention?

lol this guy's a joke.

1 good game and he's gotten so full of it.

[GamersHeaven]

It was only a matter of time now with Indies having a bigger spot light on them this generation compared to last Blow fish wants the spotlight back on him.I got to admit Fez is actually good game enjoying it never had the chance to play it last generation so I'm all for a sequel.

[psuedo]

You need to proof read. Its a good game to you, but you never had the chance to play it? How do you know its a good game?

[iamnsuperman]

Does he really need to say that. I really dislike this guy. He comes across a bit self absorbed. If he wants to get very verified on Twitter he might want to think about becoming more grown up and less offensive on Twitter

[Bzone24]

This^

Completely agree.

[equal_youth]

höhöhö yes that fish.
he really acts like a five year old on the playground. I don't think anyone will take his words for full after his last debacle and now this. he should do his game for the greatness of playing not for having some fun on twitter.

[Pogmathoin]

Twitter, please do NOT. Christ, you would think this guy is relevant.....

[mhunterjr]

If there was every any question that he was an egomaniac attention whore...

[Benjammin25]

Exactly. And didn't Fish throw a big hissy fit where he claimed Fez 2 was cancelled? He must sure love money. Well he won't be getting any of mine. If he sorts himself out or comes clean and admits he has some serious behavioural problems and apologises, I might reconsider.

[ThatEnglishDude]

Good game, but really - what a knobhead.

Stop holding your game hostage to Twitter and make the Goddamn game.

[iceman600]

"Phil Fish Says He'll Make Fez 2 if He Gets Verified on Twitter"

i thought he quit the internet and gaming?

[Bzone24]

With any luck he'll quit the internet again.

[Palitera]

Once, actually. The "first time" was only drama, sadly.

As I have never supported Cliff's work (Jazz is the exception), I don't for this guy, all in good hope that someday the gaming world is free from them.

[iceman600]

hahaha hes holding a piece of crap sequel hostage like anyone cares, and his parents must have serious problems naming their son fish......what the hell are people smoking these days?

[stavrami-mk2]

?

[Fullmetalevolust]

I suspect he has mental health issues. Watching the documentary, in which he was featured, something didn't sit well. And I'm certain parts of it had to do with editing.
But the rants and erratic behavior...hmmm.

[gamerfan0909]

Fish has to be trolling. No chance he's this big of a narcissist. Am I the only one that doesn't think fez is the greatest thing since sliced bread? It's good, but it's not one of the best things I've played on 360.

[Yodagamer]

I watched that indie movie and honestly the part were he was in it made me feel like i was watching a borderline psychopath about to break.

[BlindMango]

Fez is no doubt one of the best indie games I've played, it is actually fantastically put together and has some very genius aspects to it (which can be seen by playing the game twice and finding all collectibles, and so on).

That being said, Phil Fish will be Phil Fish - people have to learn that because I highly doubt he's gonna change himself no matter how much people want him to. Additionally, Phil Fish needs to accept that people won't like him for it (but he hasn't learned that either).

[IcicleTrepan]

I don't think he wants to make a Fez 2.

[DealWithIt]

What an immature jerk. If you want to make games, make them - if you want to don't, then don't. Stop making lame excuses.

[Destiny1080]

this is the highest rated platformer on pc

[Godmars290]

Does anyone want to hear from this guy?

[TheFutureIsBlue]

I never did buy FEZ. Played it free through PS+ on PS4 and did not think it deserves as much hype as it gets. This guy just needs to go away and stay away.

[karlowma]

Fez is stunning and Phil Fish is an artist. I can stand a little eccentricity for more of both.

[EdoubleD]

Forget Fez II, I'll be damned if I give any money to this whiney jerk.
There are many other fantastic games both indie and AAA to be looking forward to.

[Gore-Content]

Pfft, f him. We want FezII as much as we want this guy to come back, in other word never!

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

WUT?
He rather get a title update instead of money.

[XtraTrstrL]

LOL, I knew he'd be back.

[Ingram]

What the actual F, Philippe

You're trying to get back into the spotlight by exercising the same attitude that put you out of it in the first place, stop trying to blame everybody because some jerks got in your way, people only expect to be fascinated with a game, not with your internet persona.

[XtraTrstrL]

He needs to just stay away from social media, since he's shown he's too immature to handle it. There's always gonna be trolls and jerks there, you can't take everything so personal, definitely not to the extent he does. Now he looks silly coming back, and chooses the stupidest way to announce his possible return. Though, it's clear he's gonna return, he probably needs the $$$ to continue the lifestyle he wants to lead.

[dadz]

I'm so done with this guys shit... smh

[Master-H]

Get a load of this guy...might have to get a fish tank to do so tho..

[MegaSackman]

** Breaking news **

Phil Fish won't be making FEZ 2 (again) after all the backlash he received from the crowd (again): "I'm done with gaming" he said.

[x_RadicalAura_x]

Phil Fish can go blow me if he gets verified on Twitter.

[BlindMango]

Lmao, what? What kind of request is that?

Edit: Last I heard, he deleted his entire account off of Twitter, I guess that was (yet again) another temporary measure, lol

[vivid83]

Gay Fish

[Tedakin]

hahaha

[mcarsehat]

He quit, hell no. Get someone to rip Fez off and i'd feel more comfortable buying it.

[TheCagyDies]

I'll buy Fez 2 if you go to rehab.

[Yetter]

I always though Fez was okay but I could recognize that it was a special game and totally understood its praise. Once I heard more from Phil Fish I decided never to support one of his games again. The guy is a total tool

[ajax17]

Is it that hard to get verified on twitter? I mean aren't there people with much less followers than him that get verified?

[Moe-Gunz]

This guy is endlessly entertaining for all the wrong reasons, but entertaining nonetheless.

[HentaiMasterRace]

This guy.....

[Tedakin]

I bet he broods in the dark alone every night.

[LightDiego]

Phil Fish is an attention whore just like Cliff B and some "youtubers".

[pop-voxuli]

Fish is a punk bitch. Keep yer wack ass game.

[Revengeance]

Yeah I would've bought Fez if he wasn't a douche. He can keep his Fez 2.

[jeremyj2913]

How can a grown man be such an attention whore? He wants to be famous sooo badly.

[hazelamy]

meh

[inf3cted1]

Crying baby

[born_naughty]

I don't have twitter... What does that mean, verifying an account?

[phoenixwake]

This guy has the ego of an industry veteran, but c'mon. He got a very easy inroad into the industry and made ONE game.

Guys like Peter Molyneux get a lot of crap for letting their personalities and blabber get the best of them, but at least Peter has INVENTED genres and come up with truly original concepts time after time. Also, if anyone is justified in an ego trip, it's someone like Peter, who's literally been making games since before Phil was a sperm.

Phil has become an indie game troll and should no longer be supported by any means in my opinion.

[Odoylerules000]

My main problem with the game is I couldn't figure out how to quick-scope. Also, where was the voice over from John Madden?

[UnHoly_One]

Wow, this guy....

What a piece of work.
