[News] Fez is Going to “Other Platforms”

According to the Polytron’s “State of Polytron” address on their website today, Fez is going to be “ported to other platforms.” Phil Fish, the man who IS Polytron, continued to say, Yes, i’ve heard you, dozens of people emailing me everyday telling me how much of an idiot i am for not porting FEZ to everything. We also have some exciting plans for the soundtrack, and something about a US branch? Beyond that however, the future is uncertain for polytron. [...]

[Featurama] 2012: The Year of the Bait-and-Switch

We don’t get very many surprises in games anymore. The moment when Metal Gear Solid 2 ”really” begins stands fairly solitary in the pantheon of truly shocking events in our industry.

[News] Fez Patch — “Almost There!”

Glitches in an unstable world are part of the Fez universe, but not the kind that kill your frame rate and corrupt your saved games. Thankfully, the update that will ostensibly fix those issues has been submitted to Microsoft, and should cheer up our friend Gomez as soon as it passes certification.

[News] Indie Game: The Movie Has a Release Date!

According to a post on their official Facebook page, Indie Game: The Movie will be releasing worldwide on June 12. That’s not that far away you guys! I’ve been dying to see this one, unfortunately it never came around my area on the tour. What’s interesting is the way that the film will be available. It will be available on iTunes and directly from their website. Additionally it will be available on Steam. I don’t think movies have ever been [...]
