Unfinished: EX: SuperHyperCube 08/31/2016

Phil Fish is here and he brought some dimensions. FOUR of them, to be exact.

Sometimes we look at a game before it's done. When that's the case? Well... it must be Unfinished.

This is why we can't take the video game industry seriously.

People making wild claims and never really delivering on them. This includes, but is not limited to, features and promises made by people.

He looks a lot more relaxed since I last saw him. Good for him, being able to sort his shit out.

Awesome to see Phil again! Great to know he's still passionate about games.

When Phil is not on social media, he seems like a totally okay guy (except his fashion sense is terrible.) And this looks cool as hell.

@magmamud: Some people really took his comment that modern Japanese games suck out of context as well. I think that was at GDC?

But, if you watch that panel Jonathan Blow (and the rest of the panel) go on to agree with him that they all dislike modern Japanese game design.

This seems really shallow and annoying to play.

Also, I thought Phil Fish said he was leaving games forever?

I've tried this demo 3 or 4 times at one of those Best Buy PSVR demo days. This is a day one purchase for me. Just strengthens my preorder that much.

I tried this at at a PSVR experience in a local mall. It's quite fun, and I definitely wanted to play it more- it ramps up really fast. It was one of the only VR games I tried for the PS VR that encouraged me to stand up and really walk around the space I was in to get new perspectives on what I needed to do, which I think is the best part about VR.

Had no idea Phil Fish was involved in it- and knowing he is doesn't detract from my experience in any way. I feel like some commenters here should try to separate their opinions on Phil with the game itself- if no one had told you it was Phil Fish, would you still dislike it?

This is totally one of those games that feels like if it was from anybody but someone the crew at GB knew they would rip it to shreds for being so straight forward and lame.

I feel like chromatic aberration is this generation's motion blur. Unlike motion blur though, it actually makes my eyes physically hurt.

Yup, could not agree more.

Could also say this gen's brown games (tone mapping) like during the early 360 days, or lens flare before that!

It drove me nuts in Soma and when I first loaded up the new Doom, it looked "wrong" in a way that almost made be uncomfortable. It turned out it was the more subtle chromatic aberration effect there too. Thankfully they made it an option in Doom; breathed one heck of a sight of relief when I found out you could turn it off.

This looks wonderful. A Vive release using a "tactile" cube cluster would be brilliant.

Might be easier than it seems given that there are only '6 faces' to the object, Just rotate to the right 4 times, then check the top and bottom. Right?

6 faces with 4 rotations per face, so depending on the object it could have 24 different outlines. It may be tricker to find quickly than it at first seems.

Fish and their friends always have something cool to show. And he looks pretty cool today despite I recalled that he don't want to be back in business anymore.

I've been excited for this game for a while and had no idea Phil Fish was working on it. I didn't know he was working on anything game related. Cool to see him back around I suppose just a bit surprising

@ballsleon: I really don't get the criticisms of Phil Fish in the first place. It's not like he ever said anything racist, sexist, anti-semitic or controversial in the first place.

He vented on twitter, so what? Everyone spews shit in private all the time when they feel exhausted and angry. The difference is Phil did it on Twitter. And that means he should be he called a scumbag and become a target of character assassination because of it? Fuck that shit. Some people like to lash on the pettiest shit.

Haven't you ever heard of the PC Master RACE? Huh? Was what he said not racist now??????

Phil seems cool and has cool thoughts.

Also I'm not sure how thoroughly this comment section has been pruned, but it looks like the vast majority of people commenting are happy to see Phil. That's nice, I like that.

@kcin: I feel like the Giant Bomb community likes Phil Fish because he's come off as an actual human being who seems alright in the prior videos he's been in, whilst the twitter/4chan crowd have decided they have a hate-boner on for the concept of Phil Fish and what they perceive he stands for.

@pants: This is actually a good point. Though I found him very human and admirable in his dedication to his work in the Indie Game documentary, it was really the after hours shit on GB that won me over (not that I ever had a negative opinion of him, frankly.)

cant decide if i dont want this cause its kinda simplistic, or cause the world doesnt need another excuse for phil fish to whine to the world again

If the world wants Phil Fish to whine at it, then it will give him an excuse. If the world doesn't want Phil Fish's opinion, then the world should keep its mouth shut and everything will be fine.

Fame is the worst. It robs people of the freedom to be people. I, for one, don't mind that Phil Fish exists and makes cool things happen.

Edit: I can see myself getting lost in this for hours. Absolutely wonderful aesthetic. Maybe not surprising, considering Phil Fish... Man, a lot of things are trying to emulate the 80's aesthetic again, now that it's become fashionably retro, but I don't think I've ever seen anything that makes it feel like I'm inside whatever the 80's were made of. I enjoy this a lot.

Small detail but I love how the neon tube lighting everywhere follows the physical rules of that technology. What I mean is that you won't see a closed box of light with some other graphic inside of that box. You always need a break somewhere for the other light to get in like how an LCD display works.
