Then I've got no idea either. That's weird as hell.
Tetris® Effect: Connected
Tetris® Effect Connected is Tetris like youve never seen it, or heard it, or felt it before—an incredibly addictive, unique, and breathtakingly gorgeous reinvention of one of the most popular puzzle games of all time, from the people who brought you the award-winning Rez Infinite and legendary...

Hahaha, holy shit. I almost bought Tetris Effect today.. Glad I held off. This will be way, way cooler with my Oculus Quest (Virtual Desktop streaming)
Not sure how it works when running from the EGS, but if it loads up SteamVR regardless it'll work just fine. Gotta say that is pretty funny if true. I'll have to wait for someone to test and confirm.

I got a Vive and not an Oculus because I don't support walled gardens on PC. This is worse in a lot of ways. At least Oculus funds new games.
I wish, but I need my Tetris fix since my PS4 is out of commission.
For you my friend I'll gift a copy out once it launches on Steam.
Yeah it's pretty sad to see a VR title relegated to this. I'm still the idiot that is gonna buy it, but it's against the spirit of the current PC VR community.
Now that you mention it.. Is there even any other VR titles on the EGS at all?
The only other one I know if is Trevor Saves the Universe but that is also on Steam.
Right, so in actual reality if I just want to play the full single player Tetris Effect experience, the game is fine? It supports the Xbox One pad?
Like Sonic Mania runs on both Xbox and Switch but the core game is identical, despite different ecosystems?
The value is going to come down to how much you appreciate Mizuguchi's style of music/sound effect integration into the various levels. It's really the same exact concept as Lumines applied to Tetris, it isn't "just Tetris" as quite a bit of work went into designing each of the 27 levels around their respective songs.
Personally, I love every one of his games and will buy them on practically every platform they show up on.
Depends on the operating system you run. And there are single player features that will be missing from the EGS version because those features don't exist in the epic client, like single player leaderboards or cloud saves.
those exclusives were all coming regardless of epic tho
they have nothing to do with their release other than staining them with their toxic-to-a-lot-of-people name
Well.... Ideally, when that day comes, it will be because there won't need to be an Epic Games Store thread unless it's about them updating their client, or Epic making a new game.
This shouldn't have needed to be an EGS thread, because they shouldn't have moneyhatted this game.
Epic had nothing to do with the development of this game. The additional money from Epic is going to fund an executive's lambo.
See their last game, which came to PC without Epic's money.
Rez Infinite on Steam
The legendary action-shooter finally comes to PC, and in style! Blast your way through mind-melting visuals and amazing beats, all in your quest through cyberspace to save a world on the verge of collapse. Playable on your desktop or in fully immersive VR.
maybe a "Sweeney says egs has lost millions with no return; will shut down store at the end of the month" thread won't need the warning
Windows 10.
Are these features confirmed to be missing? Personally, I'm not bothered about them and so the actual game itself is fine as far as I can see.
I had some critical impressions of this game when I played the psvr demo, but l'm open to trying it again. Visually, being not a jaggy low res mess like on base PS4 will be a big improvement. Of course, having to choose between a Vive/pro oled headset with a higher amount of sde with primo colors and better blacks vs the higher frame rate, better audio, no sde, worse colors, worse blacks of the index will be very dicey and up to the individual.
But of course, EG exclusivity makes the choice much easier. Not touching it, unless it's a free weekly game like Subnautica.

The EGS has no built in leaderboard functions. It's not a feature of the EGS. Games with leaderboards use built in client features. Like Playstation games with leaderboards use a built in playstation function. Same with steam, microsoft games (through their xbox live interface). Leaderboards require infrastructure that doesn't exist on the EGS client. There have already been other games that had to have their leaderboard function stripped because of the EGS. The game launches tomorrow, and the EGS still has no leaderboard function built in, so yeah, it's not going to have them.
People have already mentioned the confirmation of this being a timed deal. But I'll add that the moment Epic does get a permanent exclusive they'll be sure to let people know during the game's announcement. It would be useless to pay for a game to never come to other platforms and not tell people that that's the case.
That will be an interesting day forsure. I'm curious how long they will give it.
LOL and I even have my Vive coming next month but I'll be damned if I support that asshole Sweeney.
I'd rather not play it at all, out of the sheer principle of the matter.
If others are willing to forgo for whats right and whats wrong in the PC games market, that is your choice but as I said many times before if we all don't take a stand then this will keep happening and no matter what you think, it will not get better.

What do you want to talk about? The game came out last year, has had numerous appreciation threads, and has an OT.
This thread is about the PC version, the only features of which we know about are which VR platforms it supports, its release date, and the fact that the publisher sold their soul to Tim Sweeney.
This game looked pretty fun and I have been wanting to try it in VR since it launched, but I wasn't going to shell out money for a console I will never use after that and a VR system since I already own a Vive. This will be the first time I have bought a Tetris game in like 20 years.
I can wait one more year, Tim. NBD. Thanks for the free games though.

FWIW this specific version of tetris is one of my favorite ever, and Tetris itself is one of my favorite games of all time, and waaaaaay before this was a game, I used to talk about The Tetris Effect all the time. This is a combination of everything I love, basically. I posted just a few days ago about how I wish The Tetris Effect would come to PC.
i mean there's nothing stopping them from using their own leaderboards right? then theyll just not be super great and shut them down in a few years
Glad to see the game being ported to PC, hopefully they release a full soundtrack/vinyl in the near future as well.
Oh well, but it won't spoil my enjoyment of finally being able to play Tetris effect. I understand others wanting to wait it out, but I could drop dead or life priorities might be different by the time of a steam release so I'll enjoy it now 😁
I definitely remember your posts in the OT unless I'm mistaken. It's one of my favorites as well and I can't wait to play it on a nicer headset, and hopefully get some acceptable results from streaming to the Quest. I knew a PC version was inevitable (unannounced release delay with Rez Infinite as well) , but I wasn't expecting it so soon. Actually now looking it up it seems they both share Fall-next Summer releases.
These threads are just a bit depressing is all. They all go the same way and invite a bunch of disengenuous posts and overwhelms any talk of the game itself.
I really enjoy Tetris Effect on PS4 and I'm glad everyone on PC gets to play it.
if only there was some way they could have known that this would happen
like every other time when hundreds of twitter replies, youtube comments, and posts on enthusiast subreddits openly call for piracy or boycott
maybe it's not the best for the long term health of your product when most of the discussion about it ends up negative before launch but what do i know im just a casual observer not some super smart business person they never make mistakes
But what can you tell me about Tetris? Can you pull off a t-spin at speed 10? I've only done it by accident, gun to my head I doubt I could recreate it.
Well Epic is getting my money here. Tetris Effect is too damn good to skip out on over launcher shittyness.
Would be nice to, but some PC game launches just get stained by exclusivity these days. Tim Sweeney's twitter is pretty easy to find if youd like to lodge a complaint.
ive never been good at them in my entire life
but i would accidentally do them every once and a while in puyo puyo tetris
I've somehow won matches in Tetris 99 and can barely do a T-spin on speed 1. I should probably start training in PSVR for that extra refresh rate.
