@Raylax (and pretty much everyone else saying this looks generic)
While you do make some good arguments, I think it's too early to trash the game at this point (it won't release, so they'll never really be a right time lol).
From those videos, it diffulcult to tell what the game would've been like. After all, this is a prototype, not a finished product. Considering the videos were only meant to demonstrate certain game mechanics, we will never know what the game will be like. Not right to judge it since it wasn't complete.
And let's be real, it's from the minds behind the Metroid Prime trilogy of games. If they can take a classic series like Metroid and turn it into an FPS and one of the most revered games of all time, I seriously doubt they couldn't do the same for Mega Man. I think they could have made a game with all the Mega Man elements the fans love.
This is coming from a guy who isn't a big fan of FPS's or Mega Man games, and would probably would not have brought the finished game anyway. Just sayin'.
I don't understand why anyone defends this guy. He says something really stupid and the Internet rages at him for it, and some of you think it's not fair to him.
I get that you shouldn't not want to play his game (I for one think Fez looks fantastic and I'm certainly interested in the PSN release), but a stupid person is still a stupid person, no matter how good their stuff is.
Limited Edition bundles are so lame nowadays. Hardly anyone ever throws in a cool physical item that is seen in the game or something. It's just been art books, posters, and steels cases for the most part recently.
I am sorry, but Phil Fish is incredibly stupid. Of course criticism of Nintendo is okay (a lot of users do it here), and everyone is entitled to an opinion, but this is just pure ignorance. Does he not realize that rehashing an older model will do nothing to generate interest for a system? New ideas are the driving force of the entire industry.
And why are '"Gimmicks" looked down on? Pretty sure Fez had a "gimmick" with the rotating world mechanic thing. Console makers and game developers add "gimmicks" to separate their stuff from the rest. Would people honestly care about Fez without it's interesting gameplay mechanic? Hell no. The game would not have received the amount of praise it did if it was just like any other 2D platformer that came before it. So hypocritical.
I don't mind criticism of Nintendo at all. What I do mind are fanboy rants like this one without any actual thought put into their arguments and reasoning. The guy is a total ass. I am beginning to think he spews out this garbage just to create interest for his game.
@Bingly when you are on the world map press the Button and select "Wireless," then "Bonus Box," then "Bonus Maps." You can't play then until you finish the second to last chapter.

Re: Fez For Wii U Is Highly Unlikely Unless Nintendo Pays For It
I don't understand why anyone defends this guy. He says something really stupid and the Internet rages at him for it, and some of you think it's not fair to him.
I get that you shouldn't not want to play his game (I for one think Fez looks fantastic and I'm certainly interested in the PSN release), but a stupid person is still a stupid person, no matter how good their stuff is.
