Let's hire some testers to work out the bugs before release with that Fez 1 money, eh Phil? kthnx

Because he didn't test for bugs in the first? Maybe you know a secret, but games are difficult to make and impossible to create and release without some bugs getting though.

Awful excuse. The bugs in Fez were far from minor, even preventing several people from even playing the game. It doesn't matter how "hard" it was for you to make (BOOHOO), you at least make sure it works when it launches.

I never called them minor. And they game did work at launch. Admittedly it had some game breaking bugs, but only a fraction of the actual user base encountered them(devs estimate less than 1%) If you have more accurate stats on how many people were affected let me know.

Also, I think it's REALLY FUNNY that the diehard indie developer who hates big games announces at E3. What, did the business side of things get a little too important for you, Phil?

He announced it at HORIZON, an alternative press conference at the Museum of Contemporary Art in LA. Happy now?

I hope there will be just as much douchebaggery from Phil Fish as he updates everyone on the status of this game. And yes, I know it's popular to hate on Fish and all, but my god, the guy is just the king of douche.

Is Phil Fish really that terrible of a human being? He's been a little brash and reactionary in the past, but from what I saw of him on Giant Bomb he seemed pretty chill and self-aware.

Wait...he was on Giant Bomb? When?

During an UPF or TNT or... maybe the PS4 reveal stream? All kinds of weird antics were going on that day.

@golguin: Imagine it like a regular fez screen just cut down to that little of a size, each time the bell tolls is like a click on RT or LT to rotate it once. The orange block always stays in the middle while everything else is rotating around it.

The gimmick this time is that it's just a cute platformer with cool music and an interesting mechanic. Man that would drive everyone insane trying to find solutions to puzzles that weren't even there :o

I find it insane how passionate some people's hatred is towards Phil Fish especially when you take into account that people like Cliffy B exist.

I'm not saying that people should hate him either, but to a least look at things objectively.

Ultimately video games are not a personality contest.

He never was. He's actually a really cool guy who's very opinionated. Like David Jaffe or Jon Blow. Except actually more likable than those two.

In any case, this might be the anouncement of the show for me. Holy shit, Fez II.

Fuck you Phil Fish. You skull fucked me with your first game and you never even called. I loved Fez but the idea of repeating that kind of madness is insane.

Woo!! I'm a lot more excited for this than most of E3's announcements, and there were a ton of solid games in E3.

Someone scrub through the audio and video for hidden easters! (besides the obvious slit of the world spinning every pulse)

This is really funny because it's a pretty big lie of omission. This is like a Fox News thing where some talking head comes on and says he can't believe Obama is playing golf this afternoon instead of fixing the economy. But you know, keep trying to paint Phil Fish as a hypocrite. Not sure why that's important to you, but keep trying, I'm sure he'll do something soon you can point at and shout "ASSHOLE!" over and over until you're blue in the face.

“It’s made to be played with a controller, on a couch, on a Saturday morning. To me, that matters; that’s part of the medium. I get so many comments shouting at me that I’m an idiot for not making a PC version. ‘You’d make so much more money! Can’t you see? Meatboy sold more on Steam!’ Good for them. But this matters more to me than sales or revenue. It’s a console game on a console. End of story.” - Phil "shithead" Fish

Fez is a pretty cool game, though.

I only clicked on this because I saw wireframes and misread 'Fez' as 'Rez'.

Fuck Phil Fish and fuck his boring, poorly programmed, pretentious ego-trip games.

Fez is a pretty cool game, though.

Guy spends a huge chunk of his life making a game for a console. Immediately people are like "yo why is this not on PC?" Guy is frustrated, says the game was made for consoles. Reaction: WHAT AN ASSHOLE NOT BUYING HIS PC PORT THE LIAR FUCK HIM PHIL "SHITHEAD" FISH.

Considering the internet is made up entirely of idiots saying dumb things all the time, people really love to hate Phil Fish (and Jonathan Blow) for speaking their minds.

Back it up, show me some videos or quotes. Not the thing about how to enjoy FEZ and not anything from Indie Game the Movie.

Every since I saw that stream, I gained a lot of respect for the guy. I don't really see why everyone hates him.

I've heard that in order to get past the first puzzle in the game you have to have 8 years of programming experience.
