Played some Tetris Effect and Blood & Truth at EGX today. Tetris is an odd one - it really didn’t feel like it benefitted from being in VR. There’s definitely some Lumines in there with the way the music is integrated. I’m shit at Tetris, but it felt like standard Tetris with the addition of a piece-switching function (swap the current piece for one you ‘banked’ earlier) and the Zone thingy to retain line clears over a certain time period. Blood and Truth felt like a routine cover shooter, but I didn’t really get to play much. Tracking was bloody terrible in the NEC, probably due to the lighting. Gunplay and reloading felt fine, although the aiming with the pistol did feel a little off. Not sold on it yet, but I assume there’s a bit more variety in the final game. Most popular game there was Beat Saber. Astrobot seemed to be the least popular.

On the Ubi forums some people have success with deleting the save and then disabling their network connection after launching the game. Some have also had success with removing and re-downloading the game. Both are more effort than I’m willing to put in, so it’s gone. Hopefully the public beta will be more stable.

I have codes also. PM me if you also want to hit the bug that prevents you from getting off the easy tracks...

Read somewhere it was 12CET for Europe, so that’d be 11am BST

SuperHyperCube is down to a fiver now on PSN

It’s an Oculus exclusive, I think.

I’m fairly sure the PS2 let you output through RF, too, which almost no DVD player would let you do. I sold so many of them for that reason alone when I worked at Curry’s. It’s weird, but there’s really not a lot I can think of that I regret buying. Link to the Past on GBA was bought at launch for RRP, but I really couldn’t get into it at all. I almost never buy at RRP, which is why that stands out.

Just picked it up on Xbox. Anything I should know going into it? Played the first one pretty extensively.

Yeah, the slimline was jap only. Nicer in the hand fo sho.

Yep, it’s a slimline. Cracking bargain that.

I thought the lack of direction was odd, too. You have to download the demo. The free weekend is great for me, as I wanted to try the final game after playing the beta. It’s not going to help sales though, as I think I can get my fill over the weekend.

Out of interest (and perhaps to feel slightly less inadequate!) how long do you guys spend on the tracks to get these times? edit - I should probably reveal that I’ve been spending 2-3 hours.

Another cracking set of times from the top 3. Been struggling to find the motivation the past couple of weeks, so I’m going to call it a day I think. Cheers for the organisation @Minion

It’s been and gone.

Yeah, but that final sector is a bitch. I can nail the first sector pretty much every time, the middle sector maybe one in five, and the final sector almost never. Fair to say you got me beat.
