Tetris Effect 4K footage

Better watching one of the best Tetris players in the world play it on a TV set and through a VR set attempting to get the first Decahexatris. This guy is incredible.
Sorry, video removed.

You might want to edit out the video. The mods here don't want to provide a platform for the person who made the video. A thread about this video was closed.
That said, this guy is a great Classic Tetris player, but is clearly inexperienced with the modern Guidelines Tetris. Classic and Guidelines are different and Tetris Effect is a Guidelines game. I was a little frustrated watching him. My previous post has a video of a great Guidelines player playing Puyo Puyo Tetris.
It appears to be following the Lumines model of having a couple good songs with lyrics and then a bunch of songs that often just sound like noise. I like most of what's in Lumines 1, but there are some skins that are just downright irritating.
Looks great! Reminds me of Lumines with the music integration and all, which is a good thing because Lumines is my favorite puzzle game.
It's the game they set out to make in the early 2000s but couldn't get permission from The Tetris Company so they made Lumines instead.
Not John Tran, but Trey Harrison...
World's first decahexatris.
Oh wow! That's awesome! Glad they ended up making Lumines because it's freakin' awesome!
But yeah, I can't wait for Tetris Effect!
There's a strong implication that the game is reiterating the "journey of life" visual themes from birth to death to reincarnation that is evident in many of Mizuguchi's games.
Part of me worries that this game played by someone like this or Amemiya would sound awful
It just occurred to me that playing this will be a bit like playing Guitar Hero or Rock band. Your attention will be completely honed in on the playing field, and the only people seeing the graphics outside of that are observers.
The Tetris legend Trey Harrison tries out Tetris Effect for the first time. Interesting to note that he becomes immediately better as soon as he puts the VR goggles on. The low latency seems to have a great effect. :)
Is it bad that this may be the thing that makes me purchase a PSVR headset?
I already own a VIVE so its definitely financially irresponsible, but... Tetris is my jam.
Why don't we have a new Columns yet.? Clotho is one of my favourite puzzle game tracks.
Puyo Puyo Columns maybe?

That's what I'm afraid of. That is my least favorite level in REZ. Disliked most of Child of Eden because of it. I don't know what makes Tetris suitable to esoteric thought (like The Witness, even if the emphasis is different). Maybe because it's based on abstract rules? These kind of "story" in puzzle games feel more often than not like a poor interpretation of and/or free associating to something that is inherently abstract. Like a game-made reaction to prove the narrative qualities of a puzzle game. And if it takes general tones like this, it becomes rather ridiculous to me and has the opposite effect of what it tries to do (pulling me more into the game). You might as well argue that everything is part of this cycle. Tying your shoes, scratching your ear, taking a shit, you name it. I could be just as "immersed" in a 4k backdrop of a sizzling steak if presented accordingly. Guess I'll have to wait and see how the full game turns out.
Yeah it's weird. Doesn't The Tetris Company require those colours?
Man, gonna look great on both my oled and in vr, gorgeous.
I agree, the soundtrack seems like it's going to amazing too.

Pull your chair away from your desk. Sit down and start up the game in VR. Then scoot forward into your normal position.
I really wish this was coming to PC VR also. I just might have to take the plunge on a PSVR set.
I'm getting The New Tetris vibes from this, in that it has it's own idiosyncrasies about it that make it a unique and pleasing gameplay experience both visually and in terms of audio, not just music.
