Remember that gameSuper Paper Mariothat came out for that system the Wii? Yeah, you might have heard of it. And remember how it revolutionized platformers by offering levels that could be played in 2Dand3D? Yeah, itwaspretty neat; I couldn’t agree with you more.Well, forget everything about that game and feast your eyes on upcoming PC indie gameFez. Honestly, I don’t have any words for how freakin’ cool the above gameplay footage is. This gem in the making apparently exists somewhere here at GDC and I am determined to find it before the week is over.Operation: PlayFezbegins!While not much info is known about thisIndependent Games Festivalfinalist,Fezis obviously a platformer with a ridiculously cute (and adorably animated) main character. That is all well and good, but the minute I saw the game break the traditional 2D perspective and morph into this crazy 2D/3D ridiculously well-designed hybrid I almost fell of my chair and cried with happiness. Okay, fine, Ididfall off my chair and cry with happiness. But it was all worth it.If this is a sign of what game design is going to be like in the future, I am so happy to be a part of this industry.Fezis getting a lot of buzz here in San Francisco and rightfully so. Ihaveto get my hands on this thing. Is it too early to call “game of the show?”
