damn u beat me! i just wanted to post this! http://kotaku.com/5692828/the-defin...=feed&utm_campaign=Feed: kotaku/full (Kotaku) looking ok i guess...anyone wanna analyze the screens? and it irks me time and time again when ppl call the gameboy tetris the definitive tetris... *rolls eyes*
there is a trailer on psn now. looks promising to me cause i can't see anything about combos...could it be that they were removed from the guidelines? it shows what u do while playing: tpm, kind of line clears (single, double, triple etc.) i saw earthquake and ice powerups... amount of previews u get is inconsistent. but looks like 1-4 max. depending on mode. you can watch replays from other players. i want it!!
ugh now it's very early next year...i was pumped to buy it tomorrow -_- http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010...1080p-and-5-1-gets-ps3-exclusive-multiplayer/ doesn't look like anyone here cares anyway so i probably won't post here anymore
I have a PS3 and I'm fairly meh about this. Looks like just another shit SRS game with mediocre multiplayer.
I have a ps3 and i was hoping this game would be good but based on what caffeine has said about it i'm not expecting much.
I have a PS3. And an HRAP3 which is, incidentally, a PS3 controller. Man I hope the controls are either customizable or forgiving of joystick button layouts. I'll probably grab it when it comes out.
Part of the reason I didn't get much out of Tetris Splash was that it was the only game I would have played online, and on its own, it wasn't worth subscribing to xbox live for. With PS3 Tetris being free to play online, I'll almost definitely be getting this. Let's just hope they don't do something stupid with the system, like rewarding all twists...
i don't think rewarding all twists is bad. no ones talking about how they took out the combo system...which messed up the core of tetris gameplay too much imo. i am happy about that. i wanna know if they use elo rating...that'd be half the deal for me.
