Podcast: My Perfect Console with Simon Parkin
Published On: Mon Feb 27 2023
Description: My guest today is the reclusive designer of one of the greatest video games yet made. He studied game design in Montreal and, after a brief stint working at Ubisoft, left to begin work on a game of his own, a platformer that combined the art style of the Super Nintendo classics of his youth, with perspective-shifting innovations of his own.Six years in the making, Fez launched in 2012 to near universal acclaim, part of the first wave of so-called indie games. After featuring heavily in the  film documentary Indie Game: the Movie, my guest, who is passionately outspoken, became the subject of co-ordinated online attacks, which culminated in his retreat from public platforms, nearly a decade ago. Play the console:Ridge Racer Type 4RezDishonoredHitman: World of AssassinationThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the WildThank you for listening to My Perfect Console.
