THE TETRIS EFFECT: WEEKEND TRIAL DEMO IS NOW ON PS STORE! Starting today, 11/1, you can download a free limited-time demo of Tetris Effect, fully playable in 2D or optionally in VR! The demo won't be playable anywhere after this weekend, so don't miss it!
Yikes, I was semi-considering getting a PSVR just for this game since I love Miz games so much, but I guess I'll just stick with TV mode.Oh man, the demo broke my heart and has put me in a very depressing mood. :(
I was so exited for this game and then I finally tested it today in VR and now I won't buy it anymore cause everything on it was disappointing.
It's very blurry and low res for some mysterious reason. I was hoping it has a fantastic IQ because, it's just Tetris and has effects but nothing a PS4 Pro couldn't handle. When I compare it to something like Bound which has the cleanest PSVR IQ I've ever seen, there are worlds between this.
On top, the effects are also very full and blurry and low res and all together just feels boring in VR, just incredibly boring. I think out of everything I ever played so far, this has to be one of the least impressive VR games I've ever played. It's sad, I really wanted to love it.
I don't own PSVR so I can't see myself paying the $53 CND that they're asking, I wasn't even into all the music in the demo's journey mode.
Also having to "zoom in" on the field to get a sensible view was really stupid and weird, theres not that much going on to want to focus on besides playing the game.
It's amazing that they've released so many other great Tetris titles like Puyo Puyo Tetris where they're at least trying new things with the formula, somet of the things don't work but there were neat new things there, but here it's the same old game with a bullet time stacking tetrises mode.
the latter, ends Monday I believeSo if i download the demo now I get to keep the demo forever?
Or do they mean the demo will only be playable for abit, then can't play it anymore?
The IQ is a bit rough on the pro as well.Honestly, the IQ in this in VR is a bit shit (playing on standard PS4)?
the IQ in this in VR is a bit shit (playing on standard PS4)? It feels like a first gen VR title back where devs weren't using all the resolution tricks they could
Thanks, i won't bother downloading it then

Oh man, some of these impressions are a downer. I'll have to try it tonight and see what my experience is.
Me before the demo
"I'll just have 10 mins"
Me after an hour
"I can't rememeber how to blink"
Definitely not the case for PS4 Pro. Looked clean to me in PSVR, and the impact of the music through headphones, combined with so much peripheral visual intensity, put me into freakin' orbit. My guess is that it's pushing a lot of particle effects in non-optimal ways, which is leading to a resolution tank on standard PS4.
I'm bowled over by how good this game feels to play. The "adventurous" mode that's unlocked is a mind-fuck, as well, in all of the good ways. So so so hyped.
Play the Astro Bot demo, play the Bound Demo and then we can talk again.
Some people already have some pretty long times on endless mode. I saw someone who had played just under 4 hours of one game.
I have a pro and the super sampling mode activated, it is pretty low Rez in comparison to a lot of other games, don't know what you see here.

And I barely noticed the 3D sound to be honest.
Same. This is magic. There's something special that happens in Marathon mode after a certain amount of time/lines.

I'll see what I make of it later when I try it, but VR support was what piqued my interest to begin with. If that's underwhelming, I don't know if I'll keep the preorder.Game is amazing. Best music/sound design I have heard in ages and visual presentation is fantastic. Spent 3 hours playing this morning. I will say that I found playing in VR mode underwhelming as it is too blurry and low rez ( I'm on a Pro too) for my tastes along with the effects being distracting to the core gameplay. I started in VR but after about 45 minutes switched to 2D and found everything impressed me much more. Can already tell this is a 10/10 game for me but that I will be sticking to 2D for the most part, which is surprising to me as I love VR.

Overall it's just what i expected and will probably wait for a discount.
PS: They changed the lyrics of "pharaoh's code" for some reason.

I've been playing for the last hour in VR on a Pro and yes, as others have said, it's blurry, which is very disappointing. I guess I was thinking their last game Rez: Infinite was crystal sharp but this is a new game and that was a 15 year old port. Hopefully, the problem is just with the demo and the real game looks better, or there will be a Pro patch.
Journey mode is 27 songs/levels.Is the game good ? Yes
Is the vr slightly disappointing ? Maybe but while playing you wont notice it.
Is the game bad because of it? Of course not.
I feel the final game will have better IQ.
Question about journey mode, is what we see what we get in the demo? Or will there be more bubbles/areas along the pathway?
