Fish doesn't say that, but he does confirm that the game "does indeed appear not to be an elaborate prank." Cute. Normally we wouldn't allow ourselves to be strung along like this on so little information, but this video has changed our perspective just enough for us to stay patient for this one a little longer. Weird how that works.
Fez shows off gameplay, still in development
25
Hey, remember Fez, the little mind- and dimension-twisting indie platformer that was due out in 2009 2010 sometime in the future? Apparently that's still true -- developer Phil Fish has shared a brand new gameplay video on Twitter today, and you can watch it right after the break. The lead character's name is Gomez, according to the video's description, and the game will take him "a voyage of discovery into the mysterious 3rd dimension." Sounds fun, but when's it out?

Whoa.
It's been forever since I heard anything new about this game.
Good to see it's still alive. I really want to play it.

I'm either tired, baked or maybe both but that looks like a must buy.

Wow. I'm somehow more impressed with this game than I was before.
I did not think that was possible.
Now if it would get out of development hell this decade, that would be nice.

It's not quite at Duke Nukem Forever levels of disbelief, but it's close.

Damn, this game looks pretty unique and awesome! No more than $10 and I think it very well might be a buy.

@Dawg605 Your one of those people, bet you buy CoD for 60 bucks or GoW for 60 and enjoy their 4 hour single player? But write an indie game off for only 10. Sad sad, sometimes these indie games deserve more. It's gonna be a sad day when you don't buy a helluvah game because it's $11

@LTLemonLicker Comparing an indie game to Call of Duty/God of War makes about as much sense as comparing a tricycle to a Rolls Royce. They're both completely different things, of course they're going to have different costs.
And who the hell buys Call Of Duty purely for the singleplayer anyway?

I think he meant Gears of War, but I completely agree with you Hank Hill. Now could you hook me up with some propane?

Unique and Awesome is worth at least $25. You, sir or madame, undervalue your adjectives.

@Epoque
There are tons of "unique and awesome" games on Arcade. It's how complex they are that determines what it should cost. Since this game is a 2D platformer, no, I do not think it is worth over 10 bucks. MAYBE 15, but that's stretching it and I don't think I would pay 15. Shadow Complex, a more complex game in my opinion, was definitely worth the 15 I spent on it.
So I don't think I undervalue my adjectives, since they are my opinion.

I am obsessed with this game and I've never played it. I even bought a Fez tshirt ffs.

I don't know if you are aware, but Shadow Complex was a 2D platformer..... A re-hash of any Metroid game. Because it was not an indie game and had better graphics than other 2D platformers/shooters does not make it worth more... I do not remember there being any sort of third dimension atleast... Running left and right, flying up and down, maybe., but not on a 3 demensional game..

Reminds me a lot of Crush on the psp.

Thank you! I couldn't figure out why no one had said, this looks just like Crush. Maybe Crush didn't do all that well. It was a pretty dark game.

@Chazzr as far as being original, let me refer you to the first trailer. It was posted 3 YEARS ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrVVIVyLx-Y

This is what happens when Super Paper Mario meets Echochrome.
I love this type of games. Plus from the gameplay alone, it looks like it's a lot of fun.

Folks, outside of "whoa 2D/3D shenanigans", the gameplay isn't anything like echochrome or Crush. And I'll bet money that any story elements it has won't be as annoying as Super Paper Mario's story.
That said, definitely looking forward to this game (that has been in development by 3 people for 3 years, so don't make moronic DNF comparisons either).
