AAA Evangelist Cliff Bleszinski Wowed by Fez 2 Announcement
Modestly-budgeted indie game excites.
Indie developer Polytron has revealed that it is working on a sequel to the much-loved platformer, Fez. And its announcement seems to have attracted an unlikely fan in Gears of War creator Cliff Bleszinski.
The original, created by Phil Fish, has sold over 200,000 copies since its release in April. The teaser trailer doesn't give much away, and the only detail on the Polytron website is that Disasterpiece will be involved.
Bleszinski - who courted controversy yesterday on Twitter when he defended bloated AAA game budgets in a strange attempt to attack used-game culture - seemed to think the world of Fish's latest announcement. It's almost as if there is a way you can generate excitement, attention and quality gameplay experience for your game without a multi-million dollar budget. Hmm.
"WTF [Phil Fish], you didn't tell us [about Fez 2] in New Orleans!" Cliffy B excitedly tweeted following the trailer's reveal. He probably didn't, because he didn't want any huge, dull explosions in it.
Watch the trailer below.

I started playing Fez, but when it said I had to find 36 something or others, each split into 8 bits, I just though 'I don't have time for this anymore'. 'Maybe if you were a fat mustachio'd plumber I'd give it a try.' I'm getting old.
