Re: TGM4 Announced!! A six-wide well, eh? That's, like, the TetriNET version of Big Mode or something.
Re: TGM4 Announced!! Im quite sure that this game will offer an internet-based global ranking. Hopefully that wont rule out a home use of it.
Re: TGM4 Announced!! It's a shame that we have yet to see gameplay videos. Is it kept low profile until they have a version closer to the final build? Plenty of videos from the other games at the event though. Dekaris Tetris Doubles video can be found here. I don't think one can move freely over the entire field. EDIT: The latter is true and confirmed in this first impressions article with some more details. The 2 middle columns are shared by both players and they can swap pieces during play.
Re: TGM4 Announced!! I haven't attempted to decipher it, but koryan posted his impressions of the TGM4 AM09 prototype on his blog: http://blog.livedoor.jp/vestile/archives/52448000.html
Re: TGM4 Announced!! After a good sized drought on TGM4 information, Mihara has posted a bit more on his blog. Sounds like things are still going forward, and there may be another location test as early as October 31st, though the location is not yet announced.
Re: TGM4 Announced!! Someone asked for gameplay movies and it looks like we need to be patient for a little while longer. Hopefully they will show something this weekend.
Re: TGM4 Announced!! Yeah it was at Shibuya. There has been lots of TGM4 talk on Mihara's blog. I'm not sure if I'm getting the whole meaning, but possibly Konoha was not playable this time. At the very least, they are finding it particularly difficult to balance this mode. Who knows if the final version will omit S and Z pieces... Certainly the mode seems different enough that I think it needs its own very different randomizer.
Re: TGM4 Announced!! Is there a good reason for removing S's and Z's? Even in regular Ti, stacking for bravos isn't that difficult.
Re: TGM4 Announced!! Well, they are the only pieces that you can't bravo with when clearing lines. Also this mode requires bravos simply to progress. It wouldn't be fair to leave them up to chance.
Re: TGM4 Announced!! Tetris THE GRAND MASTER4 game mode screen. Need to be registered to view. Or just view it here. No sound. Need gameplay footage!! And something is happening next week, but I have no idea exactly what...
