Fez Teaser Trailer

[klasmenos]

and still..

[shoeman781]

This needs to be released on pc to and not just xbox. I feel like a lot more potential fans are on pc than xbox.

[Vids4Dinner]

is this one of those games that will be a pillow for my brain or will it enrich my life?

[A1260T]

@Jdmls27 Haha the doctor!

[eisel1313]

I think what took so long to make about this game, is just the complex task of designing the actual levels (Unsure if this game actually has levels or not, in which case I just mean the actual world). I mean the 4 sides of each platform are all so different, that the actual amount of thinking and planning that went into each platform, must be massive...

[braden252]

@eisel1313 Also, the team that made it consists of two people.

[NinjaaTunaa]

Inspired by Time Fcuk? i think yes.

[Plastiware]

@NinjaaTunaa I think not. Time Cfuk is from 2009. This video was uploaded in 2007.

[NinjaaTunaa]

@Plastiware meh, mebe Time FCUK was inspired by this, either way i dont care too much

cave story Vol.2

[MilesProwerFR]

Does anyone here remember Crush on PSP?

[anonymousppl]

3.8 years later...

[RogueCrockett]

this is pretty sweet i hope more games follow this concept on portable platforms such as droid and iphone cuz this is pretty sweet XD

[DrVoltage1]

Echochrome meets Doukutsu monogatari. Nice.

[azimuth457]

@DrVoltage1 well said

[MrAzramez]

A guy recently made a platformer for the iphone with similar ideas to this. The idea being that one can manipulate the 3d terrain to make 2d platforms. Can't remember its name :/ It had Super Mario Land style graphics. Only this project is older.

[impurekind]

I like the look of this game a lot.

[raiki15]

Can't you see / life's easy / if you consider things / from another point of view~~

[FuckedFromAbove1990]

FANTASTIC!!!

[filipemtx]

look for a flash game called sky island, its a copy of this game. thumbs up if you liked.

[rbrtchng]

oooh so echochrome-inspired platformer. looks interesting.

[HeroXiao]

The creator himself is such a harsh critic that he gave his own game 20 thumbs down. He is so humble.

[Deboogs]

Makes me this of cave story.

[shenkeey]

I seriously thought they ment That 70's Show the Game :((

[oineom]

That's pretty awesome!

[semo2010]

some other game did this too, what was it called again ?

[Killerseeker1]

@semo2010

paper mario?

[chrisofrays]

@semo2010 Lost in Shadow?

[Gameboygenius]

... and then came Minecraft...

[codenine1]

@Gameboygenius lol....yes

[shootandrun0991]

[allink]

@ikolev4 SPAM FAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL

[softbumkins]

[xXMarshyKingXx]

[sgorto]

FEZ! :D

[oregono]

Very much like "Crush" for PSP

[ndjohnsrud]

let's get awesome!



[thebeatts]

My buddy was lucky enough to play an alpha build of this recently and had nothing but good things to say about it.

[fetusjuicefuck]

[tf08js2]

@fetusjuicefuck What?

[Jill3019]

thyis is a fucking rip off on xbox

[VGatsV]

@Jill3019 I'm lost. A rip off OF xbox? I don't see how it's a rip off OF it or ON it really. Explain?

[Jill3019]

wrong game

[BillB808]

looks brilliant.

loooooove the music

hope they playtest it a lot, p.b.winterbottom has had me stuck for hours at a time so i hope this one has a nice learning curve. It looks like the best thing since sliced bread though.

[100espada]

Yes, let us get awesome!

[capitainechien]

oh the music :)

[mousse21]

lets get awesome

[chaz706]

What the fez? Awesome concept! I'm looking forward to it.

[robdun]

Its comming out 2010

[jaisinator]

Oh wow, Fez is getting a lot of attention! Good luck with Fez, Phil! :D

[jazzrix]

wow!

[secorbred]

oh yea, i forgot to mention, LETS GET AWESOME!

[Elmhurst676]

Coming 2012?!

Maaaaan....

[flammy5]

coming 2010

[silo999]

echocrome and paper mario ¬¬

[KyoFoxfire]

Awesome combination? I think so.

[onetwofun]

it looks beautiful though

[secorbred]

i have no idea what echochrome is but the first paper mario was awesome (never played the others)

[JAF1970]

PS. Have to wait til early 2010. Ugh.

[MalcolmRandall]

Hmm....Impressive. Most Impressive. (/vader)

Paper Mario meets Echochrome. And it's coming to XBLA.

[JAF1970]

It has more in common with that PSP game Crush.

[CarlCampbell]

That's what I thought. Isn't it pretty much the same concept? Funny having an Indie game 'borrowing' off a commercial game for once :P

[JAF1970]

I don't think Fez is borrowing off anything. There are similarities to other games, but it's a unique game.

[iamgamer7]

THIS! THIS I WANT

[F3liX75]

what console is this for? looks like a psp game...

[EBKemanon]

So far as anyone presently knows this is a PC game.

[bunuptoast]

that would be nice.

[Vultrus]

Its been officially announced as an Xbox Live Arcade game.

[rorkimaru]

XBLA exclusive. May be on PC as well but that's it

[juanperezextreme]

It's so irregular.

[rubenscaetano]

Irregular in which way?

[juanperezextreme]

in the non regular way

[xiocx1]

awesome***

[B12C13]

WHOA!

[cniinc]

When he was on that pile of bricks, and it rotated to show the word 'fez...'

I came.

[GuilhermeEin]

Indeed, too amazing.

[BronzeSoldat]

Reminds me of Cave Story

[adeerinheadlights]

Super Paper Mario inspired, I'd say, if even. In any case, it looks heaps better :)

[Triggerhappytel]

Looks really good, the ability to change perspective like this reminds me a little of echochrome.

Will definitely check this out if it comes to PSN :)

[nrXic]

It's made in XNA, so 360 and PC are the only possible platforms.

[wa1do13]

looks kinda like crush, pretty neat.

[jaisinator]

Let's get awesome! for enjoy.

[585adam13]

looks really cool

[LocoRooDude]

NDS pls

[bunuptoast]

PSP pls

[LocoRooDude]

damn straight

plorg

[schlingel041]

Cool soundtrack

Where do I get it and what's the name of it?

[Millhouse013]

The internet demanded that you give us this soundtrack. Deliver, please.

[InuvikPhil]

Yeah, seriously. What is it?

[skulleton]

It's a score by Jason DeGroot, musician and producer on Fez

[aoiponpon]

@Millhouse013 6955

[MrL3Et]

this looks cool

[00Kirby0]

Haha, I just figured out why its called Fez, its the name of the hat....

[AkirIkasu]

This game looked so great.... WHEN I HEARD ABOUT IT A YEAR AGO!

It looked like they made a nearly-complete game at IGF last year, but nearly a year later, it still isn't here!

[Blaxxx2]

Remind me of CRUSH.

[Nif3]

Awesome concept.

[stunthumb]

Looks like it has some interesting twists on the tradition 2D platformer gameplay.

Is this for PC only? - It's just the sort of thing that would do great on the NDS.

[WesFX7]

So. It seems like Crush. Minus the Mercury Meltdown Revolution aesthetic.

[muffin8D]

psn xbla or ww?

[elchamber]

psn

[Chook1212]

reminds me of echochrome

[BoltMitch]

This game looks amazing!! I love the mechanics!

[ninjaoliver1]

screw the haters this is still good man

[batabii]

Why did you make a ripoff of Cave story? Do you really think it good enough game to take ideas from? Why is the word Trixels in there? Do you not know how to spell pixels? Anything in computers is made with pixels, not trixels. Did you even go to school?

[Lordpenguin4]

Wow, I seriously hope you wrote that as some sort of satire on idiots, because I find it hard to believe anyone could be that much of one unintentionally. Look up Trixels, and maybe play Cave Story to find out that the gameplay is about as different from this as it could possibly be.

[batabii]

Why does it look so similar to Cave Story? Why would the makers use a misspelled word in a logo? Whats with all the suddenly turning 3D crap? Do they not know how to make a 2D game?

[unagisan]

"Why does it look so similar to Cave Story?"

Because they both use a neo-retro style. Beyond the fact that they use over-sized pixels, the similarities are superficial.

"Why would the makers use a misspelled word in a logo? "

Trixels are the components they use to generate the combination of pixel aesthetics and 3D rotation. Yes it's a neologism, but it's certainly not a misspelling.

As for the 3d: It's integral to the game mechanics. Stop being a nub, do some research and stop being hostile

[batabii]

Why do people thumbs down my comments? Do they think that funny? Have they got nothing better to do? Don't you thing the 3D is just a gimmick? Are the levels just four slightly different levels in one? Why did you call me a nub? Is asking questions illegal?

[UntrustworthyRainbow]

Some people can't pass up the opportunity to prove others wrong, even when they're picking apart a comment made in jest.

[mogg1452]

People are putting thumbs down cause they didn't like your comments and if you don't want to be flamed I suggest you to open you mind and try to always see the possibility that sometimes you can be wrong, even if it's hard.

[batabii]

No, if YOU don't want ot be flamed I suggest you leave youtube. Go on, now. Get out. Nobody wants you here.

[mogg1452]

wow, you have no arguments and flaming people won`t get you anywhere

I seriously hope you are a troll

Well, flaming people is just easier than arguing, isn't it?

[TechNick1]

When is this supposed to come out?

[tommarques]

0:34 Nice!

[SteamGrace]

When you think about it, there's like, only one puzzle.

I mean, you'll be able to solve every single puzzle just by turning the screen around a few times. That constitutes a single puzzle.

What's up with that?

[boredlunatic]

It's not a puzzle game

It's a platform game with a gimmick

It still looks really fun though

[Blaxxx2]

You think that way, but once you play a game like this isn't not that simple.

Go play CRUSH once, while Fez probably isn't a puzzle game, CRUSH is, and it's a lot like this.

[jonathon7989]

I wouldn't call this unique. It's the exact same concept as Paper Mario.

[rubbermuck]

someone should sue them!

In Paper Mario you just activate the ability to go flat and use different moves, here you navigate the environment using the switching. If it's like anything, it's more Crush, the PSP game

[ninjaoliver1]

MAN so creative i wish i could think of stuff like this! please bring this to psn or xbla even wii ware dude pleaseeee!

[Tsuta]

You HAVE to bring this to WiiWare. Please.

[darkstar286]

wow, this is like echochrome, but without the freedom of movement, and more fun. and less likely to result in a visit to the optometrist's office afterwards :P

[magiclava]

Actually looks like it plays better than Crush. The visuals DO look a lot like Cave Story, and I first thought this was the official sequel. Very cool and I like the way it doesn't punish you too much for making a mistake.

[iReima]

Looking very crush there, Fez.

[tomski29]

will this be coming to XBLA at any point?

[R1PPA]

BRB, I gotta go play Paper Mario.

[Galduke]

Like Super Paper Mario taken to the next level... The biggest obstacle is trying to figure out a way for the mechanics to work without being picky or breaking the game. Imagine jumping on a platform only to find out that the game won't let you go there, leaving you to plummet to your doom like in the 3-D Rondo of Blood.

[philfish]

the way things work right now is as follow:

the world is fully 3D, with platforms and objects all over the place. but whe the world collapses to isometric 2D, it dosent matter what depth objects are at. 2D collisions take priority over everything else.

[Oblivian92]

When will it come out?

[PropellerBusted]

Eventually.

[diegovar]

very nice concept, It really allows for a lot of creative scenarios for puzzles.

[xXDarkie]

For which console is it? O.o

[blip3452]

It's for PC

[AdamsUniverse]

it's super paper mario!

[makado1980]

wow this is so cool it has an old school touch

[nmestel]

cave story was awsome and if this is half as good as it then it will be the best freeware game of the year

[philfish]

who said anything about it being freeware?

[nmestel]

its nt free ware? T_T

[rufenstein]

seriously... who woulndn't want to pay for this?

[nmestel]

well i dont think anyone WANTS to pay for it but i get our point =P

[OehrGmbH]

its not better than cave story because its NOT freeware :(

gotta play cave story again! hell is so awesome!

[C418]

It's like cave story is the only indie game in existence.

[SHHmagazine]

fez means ferrel

[Birboadv]

I was about to say that the video itself looked very unproffesional until I saw that end logo... that was one hell of a a logo!

[RayC124]

GDC 08 Trailer version in my vid response

[benjaminshinobi]

somebody probably already said this, but it looks very much like Cave Story.

[yspark901]

yeah, it does. it looks sort of like a mix of paper mario and cave story. :)

[safetyboots]

And theres nothing to do with Cave Story. Were in the hell did you guys get that idea? Only by the sprited looks?

[benjaminshinobi]

I think the proportion of the character's head to his body, and how the environment is made out of really obviously square-y tiles.

[zukabazuka]

Most likely because the person who made Cave story is making this one.

[Millard3]

have you even played cave story? it looks a lot like it. the character's shape and movements, the pixelated backgrounds, the shading style, gameplay. in fact, this teaser level looks like the amiga village in cavestory. most of the village is suspended in the air.

[planesfall]

Cave Story was created by Pixel. Fez is being created by Polytronic, three guys (one of whom is Phil Fish from Kokoromi). It is not like Cave Story. It is nothing like Cave Story whatsoever. The gameplay is similar only in that you can jump. The shading style is just plain different, and uh, yeah, lots of games have a pixellated, retro-ish style.

[chosenone234]

of course it like cave story the retro style

the fact thats its a indie game the village sure not important similarities but you cant say that its not like cave story whatsoever

[halfaheartbongobongo]

hey half-life 2 has a gun, so does cave story, oh man they are so similar to each other.

[chosenone234]

all im saying is that they have atleast a few similarities

[halfaheartbongobongo]

everything has "a few similarities" really, just because they both have a retro feel to them doesn't make them similar at all. I mean, the gameplay is completely different.

[chosenone234]

all im saying is its graphics WOULD remind someone of cavestory

[halfaheartbongobongo]

maybe, but i'm saying that that's ridiculous. it's only because cave story is famous and they have retro graphics. the actual environments look nothing like cave story (except possible the lines on that one house)

[chosenone234]

proving my point i see

[halfaheartbongobongo]

mhmm you know donkey kong country really reminds me of sonic the hedgehog, because they both have same graphics oh yes.

[chosenone234]

i never played much donkey kong so i cant comment

[DURRRRHURRRR]

Don't back down bro just because someone starts talking out of their ass.

i.e. HURRRR HERE'S MY REBUTTAL THAT MAKES WHAT YOU SAID SOUND SILLY.

You're right, Fez and Cavestory have nearly the exact same artstyle and it's not LOLITSJUSTRETROGUYS.

Also, dat soundtrack; Pure earcandy.
