Always seemed like it would be ported eventually, glad it's happening soon so I get try it in VR. Condolences to those waiting to save themselves from opening a different program.
It's an incredible game, and a completely different experience than Tetris 99/Puyo Tetris. Really not the same at all.
Didn't play in VR either. It isn't necessary at all for the game.

They don't have any VR support for the launcher, so I guess you gotta run the game and then pop on your headset lol.
As far as I know SteamVR works with games not launched through Steam so it probably just uses that. I'm still going to wait this one out though.
Cause exclusive deals work pretty easily when you're doing it a second time.
Cool. I'm fine with waiting.
afaik, all EGS VR games use SteamVR for VR since EGS doesn't have VR support.

Ah great news. Enjoyed the demo on PS4 but never ended up buying it. Will be getting it on PC for sure.
Same as it works with any apps you download outside of Steam. Load up the game/application and it'll use the Oculus API or the SteamVR API, whatever's on your system. They're pretty agnostic. I play a good amount of stuff from outside Steam/Oculus store and everything just loads up in the background and works.
This and Journey are simultaneously artsy as well as big games. They aren't niche. Both have won game of the year recommendations commonly. The smallest things that have gotten moneyhatted are probably What the Golf and the Goose Game.
It's in line with Falcon Age, in that it's a game that's already proven itself to be popular on another platform (PSVR) and that Epic has offered a big pile of money in order to nab PC exclusivity. However, given that the Epic Launcher has no VR features beyond downloading the game itself, I wouldn't be too surprised if Epic doesn't get their money back on either deal.
In to double dip! Recently sat down and beat Journey mode on PS4 finally. I'm still a bit garbo at Tetris but Tetris 99 is making me better!
Where did I do such thing? I'd like you to point it out to me, please. I clearly said it was my reasoning on what I would do, not how anybody else should.
That's yet another topic I didn't delve into. The sentence you're quoting is meaningless out of its original context: I might not know everything about this tiresome launcher war (all the discussions, was what I wrote) but I know if it was me, I'd do this and as follows. The rest can do as they please.
To be fair, Enhance is a rather small outfit, even if this game is a GOTY winner. It's certainly not great that this went EGS exclusive, but Quantic Dream, Mizuguchi and company are decidedly not.
Sure, sure...but they are also late ports, which coupled with how much Epic are paying for them and the EGS resentment, I can't see them moving enough copies to justify it.
Of course perhaps it makes more sense to see it as part of the bigger plan for EG, though I'm forever questioning how successful that route will be.
LOL.
Tetris IP has been moneyhatted to hell and back.
One of the 2 bonus games for the Sega Genesis mini is a Tetris version that couldn't be released in the 90s due to moneyhats.
Nintendo has moneyhatted Tetris atleast THREE times getting unique exclusives like Tetrisphere and Tetris99.
LOL
Thanks for the laugh.
That's the point. Epic are paying these people as if they're extreme hits on Steam. Epic doesn't care how many units it moves, it cares about having a library of exclusive games enticing enough to break Steam. Balkanization is the only thing that Sweeney wants.
The dislike ratio on that video is pretty high. Was it unlisted to begin with, or did they unlist it some time after it went out?
I'm gonna tell you now, it won't. I know EGS games can't even be launched through Steam.
If I was Valve I'd tell games running through the EGS client to go fuck themselves. They spent millions developing this tech with the 30% cut and then EGS comes in to ride their coattails and undercut them? Fuck that noise.
Ironic that Tetris should have been owned by the Russian government but is now money hatted by multiple corporations.
So what you are saying is that it will not support the Valve index or Valve Index controllers (or at least advertise it as such on the store page for this game)?
SteamVR doesn't need Steam in order to function it seems, I'm guessing they won't mention SteamVR (which is being used) since people would assume that means Steam.
Have the devs already confirmed it's a 1 year exclusive or can I assume that this is a permanent exclusive?

Tetris Effect is not just another Tetris game, its an experience.
Yeah sounds like a wait and see for HTC Vive owners. My guess is Oculus probably will work.
