  • I asked Trey Harrison, one of the best Tetris players in the world, to take a stab at TETRIS EFFECT, the psychedelic new Tetris game from Rez and Lumines creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi - in pursuit of the coveted "DECAHEXATRIS."

      it was the first time he was playing with a diferent controller than the nes, so he had to play to get good and stuff. but then he played in the vr version and he did a tetris made of 12 erased lines. he thought it was great.

      Giant fan of VR (on PC for years), 100% it was only the latency due to their TV likely not being optimal for gaming (or outside game mode) and the profi player being used to playing the NES version likely on a CRT. But the player even directly said it was the latency so Nick saying the immersion played a role seems made up to fit the theme.

    That “flow state” is really fucking crazy. I’ve only had while playing Tetris. When it happens to me it’s like an athlete that is in the “zone”. You just start playing without thinking and it feels like there is nothing else other then the game. It’s a really crazy feeling.

    I wanna share something:
    When I was a teenager, I used to play a specific Tetris version called "Tetris Cascade" (2003) on my Motorola flip phone. It's basically Tetris with gravity. So if you would have hole below your soon-to-be-cleared line and a tetrimino placed above said line, it can fall into that hole after clearing and create another finished line. That way I could do 12 lines in one go. Very satisfying. Also I would do symmetric builds with a lot of those fall-in-holes up till the top of the window, and then activate that cascade. Oddly satisfying to watch the tetriminoes fall symmetrically until everything got cleared till the bottom.
    I loved that so much. More than classic Tetris. I still have the software copy on my PC but nothing to run it on.
    I miss it to this day.

    Tetris Effect is SUCH an underrated game.

I'll be trying multiplayer soon, which sounds like a total blast. I've been playing Tetris since Gameboy and they really outdid themselves on this one. the amount of care and attention to detail in this game leads me to believe that the devs ACTUALLY LIKE TETRIS. imagine that. Anyhoo, highly recommend this game. 9.5/10 easily and it is rather inexpensive at that. goes on sale on Steam pretty regularly, too. 😎😎😎

    After playing a single version of tetris for 30 years many people would have had nothing but petty criticism for every aspect of the new game that defied their expectations or put them outside of their comfort zone. Watching the world's greatest player pick up a completely foreign controller, rapidly adapt and proceed to eagerly flog those blocks out of existence is both a testament to his freakish talent and love for the game as well as the stunning execution of design realized by the games developers. You've done a beautiful thing by introducing the classic tetris champ to the next generation of the game he loves so much.

      because it's refreshing to see someone play a game because they enjoy it, not because it's the "hype" game or the most popular game atm. Being a common person in a crowd or being a sheep simply because everyone else is playing that one game is boring. Play what you like or what is most fun to you is what's important.

    This game genuinely looks like one of the greatest masterpieces in gaming history.

    Headphones for your eyes. Thank you for that. I’ve been developing for VR since 2016 and I’ve never heard or thought about it like that before.

      Actually the origin of the word of course as many others is greek. Im greek and i could understand without explanation. It means 16 (δεκαεξι /sixteen). Deca-Δεκα-ten -> hexa-εξι-six -> tris is just a pun from tetris. Tetris also a greek word. Tetris/Τετρας/four of somthing or four sides or four pieces. Cause all the pieces of tetris are squares with 4 sides and combined from four square pieces,
