    Ugh. I'm going to have to get a PS4 Pro and PSVR, aren't I? This is the second PSVR exclusive that has gotten me excited. Meanwhile, my Vive sits mostly unused in the corner.

      Hopefully it'll get a PC release eventually, like Rez Infinite did. I didn't see anything that specifically said it was exclusive, but I'm really not sure.

      This was the case with me as well until this year. Skyrim VR, Beat Saber (with custom songs), and the newest GORN updates have given me a lot more to do with the Vive, and I'm playing on it almost daily.

    Additionnal details on the Playstation subpage. Two Interesting points in the gameplay section:

    • Includes the all-new “Zone” mechanic, where players can stop time (and Tetriminos falling) by entering “the Zone” and either get out of a sticky situation, or rack up extra line clears for bonus rewards.

    This new mechanic is intriguing but without a good incentive to use it (high gravity, time trial, or point reward + a point system that isn't uninteresting), this looks more like a crutch than anything else. At least the Hold mechanic introduced interesting strategies.

    • A player grading and leveling system as well as variable difficulty to encourage and reward replayability.

    A grade system similar to TGM would offer a more tangible reward than abstract points (see how Mark Brown video about Vanquish, and he contrast it with the rest of Platinium games); hopefully that would make solo play more interesting than what is currently available.


    At least, if everything fails, it's a Mizuguchi game, so we're in for a visual and musical feast.

    This looks so good. I'm really hoping it comes to PC as well, I really prefer my Rift over PSVR. Rez Infinite is on both, so we have a chance :)

    I'm intrigued, but I can't quite tell what the gameplay will be like. A pretty, rhythmic, modern Tetris?
