PS3 owners get ready ... for Tetris

by Justin McElroy on Feb 2nd 2010 1:45PM

Artist's rendering of potential/probable title screen

Alright, PS3 owners, get ready to join the nationwide craze that's been sweeping the ... umm ... nation. It's Tetris! According to Adam Grant, the PSP European Product Manager for SCEE, "EA is currently working on a PS3 version of Tetris that will take full advantage of the capabilities of the PS3 and provide the best experience. Look for this version to be available later this year."

Though the puzzler is already on the Minis platform, it sounds like EA's thinking of a beefier, HD version of the game. Because you need that. For Tetris.

Tetris?
ON PS3!?

quickly, down vote anyone that speaks badly of tetris !!!

I thought the Tertris mini version didn't work on PS3 yet.

You can't play the Tetris mini on a PS3, it is not compatible.

So... this is great news!

I played the hell out of that game. Lumines took it's place awhile ago.

Actually the minis version of Tetris is one of the few remaining minis that ISN'T playable on PS3, so its pretty obvious EA did that on purpose so they can make everyone buy the game twice. Jerks.

"a PS3 version of Tetris that will take full advantage of the capabilities of the PS3 "

Seriously?

Trophies?

Trophies?! HA! We're talkin' full Voice Chat, 1080p graphics, Custom Soundtracks, YouTube support, and mandatory Six Axis controls for rotating the blocks!!! This ain't no simple TROPHY job!

@Xoonaka
>mandatory Six Axis controls for rotating the blocks!!!

Now this is NEW!
I hope I don't throw my controller by accident when trying to rotate a block so fast lol

He might be joking about all that but frankly that's what a PS3 version would need, not to mention online leaderboards as well as online and offline split screen multiplayer...

Oh man, I bet Tetris will push the Cell to the limit!

But seriously, I have Evolution and Worlds, as well as the Game Boy and iPhone versions, EA. I don't need a fifth copy.

But you needed a fourth copy???

lmao @ NHAnimator

first person tetris on ps3 would be cool

Just how would that be played? O_o!??

@evildude

**WARNING**
Prepare to get dizzy. http://www.firstpersontetris.com/

@:pat_boy2008
that's quite good fun.
thanks for the link i booked marked.

awesome!!!

The Mini is NOT playable on the PS3. Trust me. That's why I bought it...

Justin the minis title is NOT playable on PS3. That is why they are making this PS3 game. Get that money!

Wow Full HD 1080p on Tetris. This is the end.

The NES version is the DEFINITIVE version! No I'm not trollin'...I own a PS3 & love it...there's just something about the charm of the NES version that other versions just don't seem to hold a candle to.

The communist music?

LOL something like that.

I heard there is supposed to be an announcement from EA tomorrow about Pong as DLC for this game.

y cant we have more games like flower, BF1943 and rag doll??
i got tetris on my gameboy.(which broke long time ago, and has not been missed)

How many times and on how many devices do we need to play Tetris? I'll stick to Ztris on my calculator, thank you very much.

60fps or bust!

I'm trying to figure out how a block would look made out of thousands of polygons...

You're welcome Joystiq!

I'm happy there is going to a PS3 version, cuz honestly the PSP version sucks. I hope it will have local/online multiplayer, online leaderboards, endless mode, 1080P @ 60 FPS, and hopefully it can go a lot fast than the PSP version (it's almost too easy).

Damn right we need it. That single-player-only Mini of it, whose soundtrack is comprised entirely of remixes of that one song, is WIMPY WIMPY WIMPY.

It sure looks like the PS3 is going to be maxed out here..

/haha

For the Motion controller me thinks ;)

Epic opportunity missed for an HD remake of Super Tetris III.

...Sparkliss!

The Next Tetris for the PSone has been my favorite variation so far.
