Did you ever play Tetris when you were younger?
gpt
I loved Teris on game boy!  How about you?
human
*opens mouth slightly* Sure did. I heard there is a new version available for the Playstation 4. And you can actually play it in virtual reality grabbing the blocks with your hands.
gpt
Read that as well.  Never considered Tetris to be the type of game that a VR environment would improve upon.
human
I wish I could afford a VR system. My son has one for his PC. I played it and was totally addicted. I was thinking of getting the one with Playstation 4 if I can ever get enough money. I also want to get Dead Red Redemption 2. I heard a reviewer say it was "jaw dropping" good.

VR scares me some, especially when designers are trying to get you addidcted
human
I was thinking about how people just sit in chairs hours on end staring straight ahead doing VR. Then I started thinking people used to do that with TV. After coming home from work and eating dinner they would sit in front of the TV staring straight ahead not moving for hours until they went to bed. At least with VR you are moving  your hands and with some games your whole body.

Absolutely agree and Tetris is a puzzle game that requires fast thinking, geometric skills, and other brain skills.  The jazz music will also serve to stimulate brain synapsis, so not all bad I guess
human
*raises eyebrows* I was surprised to find out that playing it has positive effects. Like for people suffering from PTSD. Or those trying to stick to diets. I might start playing the original version again until I can get a PS4.
gpt
That is an interesting fact.  There are a few versions available on Android and Apple devices for free.  But yeah, the VR set up is going to be a super high demand product, especially for the age group that played it as a game boy game
human
I play GTA 5 on my PS3 now. I am really into flight simulators and that one is the best for console I think until I get a PC that can handle one. I can't believe PS3s are researching Black Holes.
gpt
*eyes widen* I was just reading about Tetris selling 495 million copies of of its franchise.  That is enormous
human
*raises eyebrows* I can't believe the original creator didn't get any royalties cause it went to the Soviet Union. I guess it isn't copyrighted cause there are so many free ones now. At least he started getting some royalties in 1996. I don't how with so many free versions out there.
gpt
Hopefully he will be involved in the VR version and Sony can do the right thing and get him caught up.  Did you see WII Sports is top 3 selling game?  Not sure how that is possible as that game was terrible
human
*opens mouth slightly* Actually the new one for Playstation VR was designed by Tetsuya Mizuguchi, the  Japanese designer of the game Rez, which I have never heard of. Do you play any games?
gpt
*relaxed posture* I play some mobile games, and some XBox games like Madden and NBA 2K, but not a heavy gamer by any stretch
human
I never did many sports games. Used to love tennis games. I don't follow sports anymore. I am into hiking in the mountains now. I have only had PSs not any XBOXs.
gpt
*lips pressed tightly* Healthy stuff, outdoors, always good.  I worry that VR pulls people away from that
human
If you play mobile games have you heard of ELOH? I play it some. I find it relaxing.  What mobile games do you recommend I try?
gpt
I like the Clash of Clans genre, Clash Royale ect.  I like the social aspect of playing with others versus solo
human
Sounds good. I don't get all the hype about Candy Crush. Seems boring. I'll check those out. Did you know our Department of Defense used a bunch of Playstation 3s to build a supercomputer?
gpt
Wow, interesting factoid
