human
Wow, that is unfortunate that the creator of Tetris did not get any royalties from the game.
gpt
Yeah, Alexey Pajitnov didn't get any money for creating tetris - a game so famous that most people who aren't gamers have still heard of it.
human
*leans slightly forward* Yeah, even though Tetris was invented way back in 1984, it is still super popular today.  It is one of the 3 highest selling games of all time
gpt
Yeah, that's why there's about a bazillion versions of the game on many different game consoles. I recently heard of some new version called Tetris effect.
human
That is the game on Playstation VR.  I bet it is even more addictive than the original
gpt
*takes a step back* Yeah, I've heard about that VR stuff. I thought they'd go the route of 3-D movies but I've been told VR games are actually good. I'm curious what VR would add to something like Tetris, though.
human
It adds a more imersive feel to the game.  It amplifies the experience in almost a medatative way
gpt
Really? Sounds interesting. I might have to try that. I wonder if that would also magnify the tetris effect of helping people with ptsd. 
human
It is actually proven scientifically to aid the recovery of people dealing with trauma.  So PTSD sufferers would benefit.
gpt
What do you think of the zone mode they put into Tetris effect? Do you think it adds a cool new mechanic into a classic game or do you think they're fixing what isn't broke?
human
I am more old school in my gaming, so I would prefer to classic version, but I can see how some would like the zone mechanic
gpt
Yeah, when I think of tetris, I think of when I was a kid with my Gameboy trying to pass time until I could get home to the NES. It will feel a bit off playing Tetris on my PlayStation 4, though it might be just my warm fuzzy nostalgia.
human
*body relaxes* Heck I still have my old PS2.  It is the most popular system of all time, with over 150 million units sold
gpt
I wish I still had my PS2, sadly it broke when it fell off the entertainment centre. Though I have one of the old PS3s that can play PS2 games. You know, the Department of Defense used 1760 PS3s and made a super computer out of them to save money, hahaha!
human
Wow.  I used to have a Playstation Portable, but I haven't tried the newer PS Vita.
gpt
Yeah, I hear the vita's pretty good, but it didn't sell well against its rival the Nintendo 3DS. Still, most Playstation products sold very well.
human
Oh yeah, the PS4 sold 1 million in the first day it was out.
gpt
Wow! And PS3s are being used to research black holes. It's pretty impressive what they can get PlayStations to do.
human
*smiles* I guess they really mean that "Greatness Awaits" slogan that they use on TV commercials.
gpt
*laughs* Mabye so. I guess greatness awaited tetris as well. Tetris on PlayStation, perhaps it will be a great game.
human
Maybe I can use my PS4 to do my own black hole research.  I would be more productive than playing Grand Theft Auto
gpt
Mabye you can. I wonder if the newer Grand Theft Auto Games have the soundtrack on the disc like the original on PS1 did.
human
*eyes brighten* I would doubt it.  They probably realize that most people do not even have CD players anymore
gpt
*eyes brighten* Actually, try sticking a CD into a DVD or Blu-ray player. Most of them can still play CDs!
human
*body relaxes* Really, good to know.  I normally don't even use discs.  I get most of my games from the Playstation store
gpt
Yeah, changing discs is a hassle and the playstation store is more convenient. Though it is funny to use a PS4 as a CD player, hahaha.
human
Quite a versitle machine, from a CD player to a government super computer
gpt
Yeah, very impressive. It's also strange that Fifa 14 was on PS2, PS3 and PS4.
human
I would imagine that the graphics were very different between the 3 different versions.
gpt
Yeah, I wonder if it was the same game just with different graphics or if the better versions got more features. That would've confused the heck outta me, having 3 versions of the same game.
human
I can imagine it was probably 3 different games with different features.  
gpt
Yeah, the PS3 and PS4 versions were probably 'better'. It would be annoying to buy the game for a feature you wanted, only to find out you bought the wrong one.
human
*laughs* Just like any technology, there will always be something bigger and better out there.  With the PS4 being released in 2013, there is only a matter of time before the 5th version is out
gpt
*leans forward* Yeah, I wonder what kind of Tetris they can put on the PS5. Mabye holodeck tetris or something, haha.
human
*smiles* It is probably just going to be a chip they put into your brain
gpt
*body relaxes* Yeah, most likely. That would be some amazing VR, though - right in your brain. They better not put an unlock code for your brain like they did for the PS3, though.
