After years of saying things that have gotten him in heat, Fish has locked his twitter account. But not before sharing one last tweet.
"Fez II is canceled."
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."
And not a single **** was given.
Shame. The man gets a lot more heat than he deserves, I feel. I think he's just really poorly spoken. Too awkward to make his messages clear, you know?
Hopefully he can buckle down and get a grip on things. It would be a shame if he really never finishes his next game.

I get what you mean, but Fish is nothing like Blezinski. He's not the jock type with the job to end all jobs and an ego to match. Phil Fish is, for all accounts and purposes (as well as with all due respect), a nerd. A nerd who clearly has his views on things but doesn't quite know how to properly convey them. He's a great video game designer because he possesses incredible skill in that field, but he seemingly lacks people skills.
A lot of people flipped out when he told a Japanese man "your games suck" because they thought he was being prejudice against the Japanese. I don't think that's what he wanted to say at all; I think he wanted to say what other Japanese developers like Keiji Inafune have said, how Japanese game development has dwindled in recent years and how western development has seemingly overtaken the market.
Blowfish has some serious diva syndrome.
At least you can't say there aren't any passionate artist still around.
Or douchebags. Either one.
This guy has to stop acting like an angsty pre-teen.
