REZ/Lumines Creator announces Tetris Effect, coming this Fall PS4/PSVR
- Thread starter Kenzodielocke
- Start date
That was a really slick trailer, and I'm actually somewhat intrigued about a Tetris game. It depends on how much the music plays into the gameplay, but given the developers, I don't doubt it will be done in an interesting way.
That being said, I'm not sure what they're going to do with PSVR... Will it simply be a Tetris board directly in front of you, and the remaining 75% of your surroundings are just pretty shapes? I don't have PSVR, so I might look into it for just the Tetris gameplay, but I wonder what will they add for PSVR users.

But you know nothing of my taste outside of disliking attempts at commercially manufactured pathos. But if you want to talk about why this is quality. We can bark up that tree.
Today, the official website's public press kit posted a four minute 4K b-roll video of the game. Check it out!
Omg, that's beautiful! Easily my most anticipated game this year and probably will push me towards getting VR.
The skins! They straight up made a Lumines Tetris game. Amazing.
Thanks for sharing. As someone who has played Tetris every day since it launched on GB, this has me over the moon. The aesthetics of Lumines crossed with the mechanics of Tetris is a dream come true. That video even flowed like Lumines song-wise (vocal track into drum/asian-inspired track). I'm a little worried about some of the effects that cover the screen and take a while to clear, especially when it comes to high-level/fast play, but it's too early to judge. As is, this might rival The New Tetris for me, something I never imagined I'd say.
Footage on this page. Look a few posts up.
I will buy this day one on PS4 and day 1 whenever it comes to Switch. Tetris is meant to be handheld imo. Same with Lumines, but I'm buying that on PS4 and Switch as well. I have no issue giving Mizuguchi my money twice.
That music is so good. And now I understand what that Zone meter is for. It gets activated and shown off in the 2nd of those three songs.
I thought the song in the trailer would be from Genki Rockets again (since Tetsuya Mizuguchi has used them so many times in the past), but I'm not entirely sure it's them. It definitely sounds a little like something they would play, but the tone of the female singer seems to be a little higher. Or maybe the mixing is just different?
Regardless, it sounds really good.
Edit: Listening to it again, I definitely think it might be Genki Rockets.

So it's basically just regular Tetris with some visuals going off in the back?
And Zone mode, plus other gameplay types they haven't announced yet.
Game looks stunning and I'm really loving the fresh take on Tetris. I've been hit with the Tetris Effect many times, especially after long play sessions.
Between this and the Lumines remaster coming out, I'm a happy camper.

It's been years since the last Genki Rockets album. I initially guessed Kaskade.
It has been a while.
The first half of the song I was like "this sounds like Genki Rockets!" and then the bass lessens a bit, and the voice becomes a bit higher/louder. I've listened to it a few times since then, and I can say with near certainty that it's definitely them, unless the band they're using is a near copy of them. Even the vocals are all "uplifting" and such, which is standard in Genki Rockets songs.
I hope this means another full-length album is on the way, but it's probably just a song or two composed for the game. Unfortunately.
Oh, the demo is coming "closer to launch". I somehow thought we would get the demo at E3. Nice to get gameplay footage anyway.
That doesn't sounds like Genki Rockets' singer to me at all. GR's singer is ok but most of their songs heavily mess with her voice to make it sound good. The singer in this song sounds much better to me. Could just be a production issue I suppose, but my guess is that its not GR.
I'm pretty sure that Genki Rockets has had like 3 or 4 different singers across the two albums.
That's why I'm guessing the first song is by a different house artist and the rest of the soundtrack probably features Takayuki Nakamura, h.ueda, etc instrumentals mixed in with some new vocal tracks.
That would make sense then. It would also explain how Miz can get away with saying they're not going to name the artist yet. All I know is, like with all the Lumines games, I can't wait to hear and see the entirety of the skins in the game. The three I've seen so far give me such a great Lumines vibe.
You made me curios, so I did a little comparison vs Puyo Puyo Tetris. It's smaller, but really not that much smaller. When Citra added the SBS stereo mode, I checked it out on Bigscreen just out of curiosity. PPT is pretty huge when played on a large virtual screen. And that's with a screen that wasn't even covering my whole FOV. So I suspect it won't be much of an issue. I'm guessing the playfield probably covers most/all of your focus area and the rest is just stuff that explodes around your peripheral vision.
