Re: TGM4 Announced!! All the 20G DAS sparks strongly suggest it's the active piece, which is what lead me to my itnerpretation.
Re: TGM4 Announced!! Flower power! That title screen background immediately made me think of TOD for some reason. Pretty daring backgrounds I would say. Needs to be more moe IMHO. Weird name too compared to the other installments. TMOR? Well it looks different than the other games which is important. Looking forward to gameplay videos.
Re: TGM4 Announced!! I'm a quite surprised by these pictures . Is this the girl version of TGM xD . I really hope the musics are still from Samplingmasters... but looking at that theme i doubt it :/ the nightmare would be to have some japanese girl singing a cheerful song as BGM XD (it will increase difficulty that's for sure ). Anyway i can't wait to see what's the deal about this one. If it's easier, too casual i may pass on this one (as it will not be TGM anymore) ...i hope there's still a challenge for elite players... I also think the fonts used are cheap and the heart shaped medals are ugly xD
Re: TGM4 Announced!! Actually, looking at the bottom right Shirase/Death one, there are no sparks in the 3rd column either, which should be the case if it was a 20G DAS effect. Could always be possible that the red border is no longer on the hardest mode in the game. Heck, it could also be that these photos are as much concept art as actually gameplay footage, and we're reading way too much into things.
Re: TGM4 Announced!! This can be explained by not IRS'ing the piece and instead performing an auto-synchro over the unsparked column. And I'd say the sparks and the playable demo being in about a week rule out the concept art theory.
Re: TGM4 Announced!! I actually think "The Masters of Square" would sound really really cool. I guess they are going for a reference to the Arthurian legend where the round table was a symbol of equality and brotherhood, but I still like mine better.
Re: TGM4 Announced!! ps. I am severely disappointed that ct's signature wasn't used as a rotation selection screen.
Re: TGM4 Announced!! hopefully we will get some insight on the demo from 2ch people or western players that live in/travel to japan
Re: TGM4 Announced!! On a semi-related note, Dekaris (Hugetris) will also make its appearance at AM'09:
Re: TGM4 Announced!! Very weird arcade setup. Looks like a grading system on the right. Not entirely sure if the following images are the exact same game. http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2009/09/14/sega_jamma_lineup/
Re: TGM4 Announced!! Looks like a prototype, as the game is called "Dekai Tetris" there, and it's now known as "Tetris Dekaris".
Re: TGM4 Announced!! I edited my post and added that phrase when I noticed the difference in name. The game will be promoted by Team Dekaris. lol
Re: TGM4 Announced!! A title screen video for TGM4 has been released! http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm8231325
