I just got my hands on Fez... Haha. The game reboot is gobsmacking.

Anyway, i dont know if this news means much

Fez studio Polytron is back from the brink 

Nothing about the guy from all the here say.

But from seeing his game design he needs a partner to make him more angry at the "player" and less at the commentators.

Or just to wake the fuck up. 

God that weird 2.5d platforming is doing my head in 

Fez is one of the best games released in the last few years. I would judge the man by his work rather than shit journalists write about him. 

It kind of pisses me off how little effort goes into retro games on steam. Some games get really great treatment, like Duke 3d and Shadow Warrior, and some games are crappy dosbox affairs like Heretic and Hexen.

Also why does Doom on Xbox live support 4 player splitscreen co-op but the PC version doesn't?

Le sigh. 

Touching and somewhat unique. Recommended for people who also liked Dear Esther. Not recommend for average dumbass Steam imbeciles. 

Sucked. 

I thought it was nice. I think he could have used a better engine and done a lot more with it. I can only imagine how much haggling and head-to-desk slamming was required to get that content into and working nicely with Source. 

Dude was actually working on porting it to Unity: http://www.littlelostpoly.co.uk/

i'm not sure if any release will ever come of that though. 

I get anal when Gone Home is classified as a video game (it's not a video game) and especially when it gets comparisons with Myst. Other than that it's okay. 

The controls. They were too precise and games orientated for what he was trying to present. They should have been much more fluid and simple as opposed to the basic HL2 controls.

Also, it just wasn't engaging enough for me. If you're going to tell an interactive story then use the strengths of the medium to your advantage, and I feel they failed at that.

Walking around to hear the next piece of exposition felt like a chore. Not that it should have been ungamified completely, but it could have been done a lot better than what was basically a buggy interactive postcard. 

"This is the engine, what can I do with it?"

Should have been:

"This is what I want to do, let's make the engine fit" 

ijed

Consider that it was one dude working on a passion project. I think he accomplished a lot. 

 

You'll shoot your cube out. 

THAT'S the game that Barnak got his rage on because it wasn't as good as Quake? It's nothing like Quake nor is it trying to be like Quake ... 

.. Those puzzle games are really cool... 

that game has no DMSP, rated -1/10 for disrespecting TEXAN STYLE 

Holy hell - the Fez unfolded cube puzzle was a bit tough. I though about looking for a missing Hexomino , but there are way more than 11 of those. Still enjoying it though, and overall difficulty of puzzles seems reasonable.

Am I the only one blown away by the revelation that Blues News still exists? 

 

Of course it does, never stopped going there since I discovered it in Q1 days :) 

Is Blue still running it? I lost touch with that site ... well, it MUST be a decade ago if it's a day. Wow...
