Fez delayed (again) to early 2012

by Mike Schramm on Sep 29th 2011 7:25PM

Fez creator Phil Fish has posted this video on Vimeo, a "long screenshot" showing off one of the game's intriguing 3D environments. As with everything else we've seen of the game, it looks pretty amazing, combining great colors and design work with the 2D/3D ...

Wait, what? Oh crap. Fish just tweeted, buried in between parentheses of what we can only assume to be shame, that the game's been delayed yet again. It won't be out until at least 2012. So don't enjoy that video too much -- we're not sure if we can stand the wait that much longer.

...aaaand the knife twists!

Oh well. I'll buy it in 2012 the same way I would've bought it this year: FIERCELY.

I saw this game at PAX, but I still refuse to believe it actually exists.

I wonder if this man would work well with Valve, at the rate he's going.

This game has been in development longer than.... well.... something... that takes a long time.... yeeeeeeaaaah...

Was talking to these guys at PAX. They were hoping for very late in 2011, but realistically looking all the way until February 2012.

So expect minor delay to be minor.

Really a shame that htis is an XBLA game.

Putting your creative, actually not shitty Indie game on XBLA is like coming up with the most amazing pasta dish ever and selling it exclusively at the cafeteria in target stores.

@FuzzyPierce Is it going on Indie Games? Because if it's an actual Arcade game, then you're dissing stuff like Limbo & Braid when you say that.

@Behonkiss I said "actually not shitty". That doesn't include Limbo and Braid.

Indie platformer with more focus on how it looks than how it plays? No thanks.

@FuzzyPierce

It's Arcade, not Indie. Ignorance!

It will do extremely well. More than likely it will end up on Steam as well.

@FuzzyPierce

If XBLA is a Target cafeteria, then PSN and Steam are an IKEA cafeteria at best.

Let's not even talk about the Wii Shop, which is a bit like eating beef jerky and Cheez-Its in a gas station bathroom.

Duke Nukem Forever Syndrome?

Whoa. Whoa. Hold on there. 2012 is the same year I plan on playing Mass Effect 3. What are you guys trying to do to me here?

Damn! Just know that I am crying like a bitch inside.

I love how these developers always accompany news of a delay with some form of other good news, like we somehow won't notice the game's been delayed.

Aaaagh drat!

Ah well there will be plenty of arcade games to buy on XBLA over xmas anyway. Probably lots of discounts too.

If you need your Fez fix and have a Wii, give Super Paper Mario a try. ::P

This is shaping up to be the greatest soundtrack of all time.

Boards of Canada for sure.

You know, I initially thought these guys lied to me at PAX when they said it would be out during the winter. Then I just realized winter is mostly the beginning of the year. I think I somehow knew this the whole time. Going to be totally worth it, though!

every single year at pax there seems to be a better demo, but i never seems to be released(i miss DNF jokes)

I give up, I've been holding onto points waiting for this for years now, it isn't coming out at this point which is a shame.

sad news, but my plans remain unchanged for this game; buy, day one.

anyone taking bets on whether fez or journey releases first?

And again Joystqie completely fail to mention what platform Fez is for. Award winning gaming converage.

@Dick Socrates

Guess that 'Microsoft' and 'xbox' tag were too subtle

@OnToGloryReturns

Not to mention the "XBLA debut title" in the description.

This game looks amazing and with the madness of the Autumn Overload I'm actually glad this has been pushed back a bit. Like anything, it'll be ready when it's ready.

Well... I want them to get it done right. BUT. This makes me sad. Back to playing Robot Wants Kitty on my iPad/iPhone, I guess.

Fezzes are cool.
