phil fish thinks he has super indie videogame powers
he should use some to actually make a game.

Isn't this the same idiot who said that Fez can't be a PC game because it needs a controller and a comfy couch?
And then people claimed that Jonathan Blow was a douchebag...
im sorry japanese guy! i was a bit rough, but your country's games are fucking terrible nowadays.
this is not entirely unsurprising. from speaking with him at length at PAX last year, he seemed a little...arrogant is the wrong word...aloof maybe? there was a quality to him that seemed like at any time he was only half-paying attention to what he was saying/listening and not entirely cognizant of the effect his words might have. he didn't say anything rude or disrespectful like in the OP, but i can't say this is 100% left field from my experience with him.

So, Dark Souls, Monster Hunter, Bayonetta, Vanquish etc. suck?
GTFO.
Aspergers.
Or maybe he's just a douche.
wait is Fez really not getting a PC port? Because when I played it at PAX last year it crashed to desktop.
Talked to a few people who've met Fish. Can't say their opinions of the guy were all that favourable. As for me, release your damn game and let me see how it plays, then we'll see if I think your poorly articulated opinion is worth a shit.
Phil Fish, creator of zero published games, broadly tells entire country of designers they don't know what they're doing.
I'm also mad that some cheered. I don't know man, I don't know if I like where this video game thing is going...
Edit: If that pic below me is him, I think I'll go with Aspergers.
But he is not professional!! He is an indie !!!!!What an unprofessional thing to say. Just terrible.
yeah, for those who missed it, that was the statement:Isn't this the same idiot who said that Fez can't be a PC game because it needs a controller and a comfy couch?
“Fez is a console game, not a PC game,” he states, emphatically. “It’s made to be played with a controller, on a couch, on a Saturday morning. To me, that matters; that’s part of the medium.” I get so many comments shouting at me that I’m an idiot for not making a PC version. ‘You’d make so much more money! Can’t you see? Meatboy sold more on Steam!’ Good for them. But this matters more to me than sales or revenue. It’s a console game on a console. End of story.”
So what if Fez sucks when it finally comes out?
I like indie games, but holy fuck if indie game developers aren't usually the most undeservingly pompous pricks in any given room.
I don't see what his game has to do with anything. He could make the best game ever and his statement would still be wrong.
kinda curious who the Japanese developer was. no one followed up?
and i assume many people game journos/devs didn't mention this on Twitter simply because they're cool with Fish.

You know, it's possible to be a socially awkward asshole without registering anywhere on the Autism spectrum.
