Fez creator says he won't bring sequel to Microsoft consoles
The creator of Fez says the game's sequel will not return to Microsoft consoles.
Fez was one of the most highly anticipated indie releases on the Xbox 360 for several years, but after launch the game fell victim to a game-breaking bug that couldn't be patched withoutpaying a hefty fee.
After this experience, Polytron founder Phil Fish told Polygon that he's not interested in the Xbox One as a potential development platform.
"I hope it's a joke," said Fish in an interview hours before Microsoft did a u-turn on some of its most controversial policies.
"I hope Microsoft is pulling a New Coke on us, announcing a shit console nobody wants, only to eventually announce the Xbox Classic and winning back everybody's hearts. Microsoft is making a console for itself. Not for gamers. Not for developers. Just for its own, greedy little Orwellian self. I'm not interested."
