[QUOTE]We aren't [URL="http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/27/fez-2-canceled/"]getting a sequel[/URL] to the adorable [URL="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/12/fez-review/"]retro indie puzzler [I]Fez[/I][/URL] well... ever. But that doesn't mean developer Polytron is out of things to sell fans. The Canadian company hopes the wound it opened by [URL="http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/01/fez-2-cancellation-a-surprise-to-polytron-producer/"]canceling the sequel[/URL] won't deter you from dropping $100 on a special edition of the game that features a rather handsome hardcover notebook, "bound in red canvas with debossed gold foil inlay presented in a matching slipcase," download codes for PC and OSX versions of the game and a copy of its killer soundtrack from composer Disasterpeace.

publicity stunt
Is Fish still part of Polytron? He quit game development completely didn't he? I would have assume that meant Polytron too.
Good luck with his reputation.
I thought he left to be DJ fishsticks. Think he's gonna call his first album "Suck my dick, choke on it."
Is he still relevant?
hahaha fuck off with your shit attempt at mocking cave story.
$100 is way too much to spend on that, but the OST vinyl is fucking siiiiiiiick.

I'll buy the IP for £50.
Pretty misleading title considering this is about a special edition with physical bonus stuff included. Whether that package is still worth the asking price is a matter of its own, but the title makes it seem like Phil Fish arbitrarily bumped up Fez' price because fuck you.

Product page defines he did create the packaging and artwork
Which is great because the aesthetic of fez one of its biggest high points
I went crazy deciphering the games codes, my desk was littered with stickynotes
there's so much shit in the game I adore, but it is still a generic platformer
The physical soundtrack is just

:drool:
I've seen many situations where the soundtrack is better than the media it's attached too, but this is the first time I've wanted a soundtrack just so I can put it on a shelf

Shouldn't they be sold less for having this feature? They're literally using a defect as a selling point.
The game can be picked up with soundtrack for 15 dollars on steam without a sale
The notebook looks rather neat and all, but how is that worth the extra 85$ :v
Speaking of the OST, there's a remix album called FZ: Side Z which is pretty awesome too and on Google Music and probably Spotify as well and you should check it out.
also it's small

Even with the 30$ soundtrack, that's still a shitton of money for a fancy Notebook
Literally thought he was selling the IP from that title.
If the game just came out, maybe, but making a special edition and pricing it 100$, when the original is like 5-10$, years after it came out.....I find this stupid in a way
I guess Mr. Fish is a little short on money. Guess his DJ'ing wasn't working out for him.
"I wish video games were a building, so I could burn it down with all of you inside it."

fish is indisputably the biggest sack of shit in the history of the game industry
that said though, people cranked out some really fuckin nice music for his steaming log of a game
i'd buy this if the money wasn't going to ol fiery phil
This thread sucks and you are all bitter nerds. Fez is a fine game, this product is a special edition obviously for people who would be interested in buying collectors items so of course it will go for a higher price.
This is even post-release of the game so I don't know why anyone would still care if Fez was truly such a bad game.
Yeah the hate for Fish is understandable, but Fez itself was a decent game. It was made by a total dick but that doesn't make it inherently bad.

Its not about how bad or good Fez is, it's about a entitled piece of shit "choke on it "developer and people dont want to give him money.
[QUOTE=Nanori;49190955]I thought he left to be DJ fishsticks. Think he's gonna call his first album "Suck my dick, choke on it."[/QUOTE]
And he only makes one album. :v:
Based on title I honestly though he was trying to dump the IP like when the corporate files "leaked."

No this is about people white-knuckle gripping a hate boner they've had for a dude for the past 3 years using a very nice looking piece of collectors memorabilia as an excuse to shit on Phil Fish again. Get over it and don't buy his stuff, people who want to buy this aren't going to be persuaded by you trying to make fun of Phil Fish years after the fact.
[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;49191492]Fez was a really fun game and I wish they've made a sequel, this is a really cool and well crafted special edition.
I don't care about the drama of the developer and you guys make the worst ad hominem ever.[/QUOTE]
so he's allowed to say some of the most heinous toxic shit on a public forum like twitter and we're not allowed to call him out on it
cool sounds good
