Tetris Effect: Demo for a Limited Time coming 11/1-11/5
- Thread starter Kenzodielocke
- Start date
I'm so pumped for this. Can't wait to check out the demo this week. This is basically the Lumines 4 I've been waiting for.
they will become available later, probably at launch they'll just show up in your theme/avatar library... you should be able to download the soundtrack immediately tho
Im only interested in the soundtrack and thought it would come in my email after confirming the pre order but I didnt ggrt anything. At least that is what I read. Will wait till launch day and see how it goes.
the soundtrack acts like a game download check your game library
edit: yea it shows up in my purchased library under Tetris Effect Original Soundtrack Sampler. You need to connect a USB to extract it's mp3s
I got the game in a different region and apparently the pre order bonuses do not apply there (Indonesia). Sad! In Brazil (my main region) the game costs 3 dollars more but has the bonuses - Im not sure I think they are worth thr extra though. I will find the mp3s somewhere online but will miss the dynamic theme :(
I will take more care next time I preorder something in another region.

Dang, this is some pretty Tetris. Really enjoyed the little bit of this demo I just played. I just have a a PS4 Slim with no VR, I can only imagine how good this looks with PSVR on a PS4 Pro. I might get this whenever it gets a discount.
Its like tetris meets rez. I could find myself getting lost in this game. This game put me in a trance.
Played the 3 journey levels and liked it a lot. Pretty much what I expected and will pick up the full game.
Loving the demo. Beat Area 1 on all difficulties. Whew that Expert speed increase on the third stage.
Also the Marthon only song is hilatious. Love it.
Marathon Mode lets you do endless.

I feel the game could have got much more potential with PS4 and its features. the vibrations are great following the tone of music (I wish DS4 had HD and trigger rumble to be just perfect) but there are so many missed opportunities with no trackpad support, no lightbar changing according to colours and flashing following the music just like the vibration, also no motion controls and monospeaker support. It could have offered the most immersive Tetris version ever. So many DS4 features are missed.

Motion controls... for Tetris? *blink, blink*....
Anyways... Just wanted to report in that I've been playing this demo all night and this game is going to be amazing. I've been more excited for this than any other game this year and this demo confirmed that it's going to be everything I wanted it to be! I've been experiencing some pretty extreme anxiety and stress the last year or so and I think Tetris Effect is going to be a good tool for helping me cope. So thanks to anyone on the team that helped make this game a reality!!!
Played for a bit. Pretty as hell Music is so good. Really cool in VR. But god damn i don't remember being this bad at Tetris lol
I did that song in Marathon for a good hour trying to make it to the full end loop where the end part of the chorus kicks in. Only made it there twice. It gets damn hard. Made it to 120 lines one time. So close but so far.
I played it in VR with earphones and I felt inside another world and thought that the VR would be the ultimate experience... But now that you are talking about HDR I am curious about how great those effects would look on a giant screen. Wow.
everyone should be playing this.
i highly recommend going to options -> gameplay -> camera zoom -> zoomed in
PM me for my PSN if you want to do leaderboard stuff.
wait, how do you do special moves?
edit: oh the tutorial goes over it

Got S rank on Normal mode, Zone mechanic is essential for getting a highscore. Wait until you have a couple of lines to clear and get ripping. Those lines don't count for your overall line clears, so you essentially get to play longer and thus get a higher score.
I'm still figuring it out if it's worth using half a bar of Zone 'juice' and quickly clearing some lines or to wait till I have it filled all the way.
Marathon feels kind of weird without the zone mechanic, but it's classic Tetris fun. Got B rank so far and cleared 150 lines a couple of times.

I was happy when I got S and then noticed SS is the top rank.
