Disney + Worst Sci-Fi ever = fail that no one will notice.   How can a Tron game sell, this day in age?
 
The only people who like Tron, like it because they were 10 when they saw it.   It's worse then Plan 9.  Cept Plan 9 is good in a bad way.   Watching Tron is like watching Rosie O'Donnell.  I just want it to stop and I feel guilty afterwards.

I got a feeling the lightcycle gameplay will be good, and the rest will just be boring.

...pardon me. What I meant to say was, dude. Stop trippin'. Tron is classic cheesy sci-fi with cool ass SFX and Lightcycles. What is better than a lightcycle? NADA!

So now it's tron's turn to receive an edgy make-over? Pass.

If you think tron is the worst sci-fi ever, chances are you haven't seen a lot of sci-fi.

I have to say it does look better now watching it here vs seeing it during the VGAs.  I thought before the lights didn't pop enough.  But hey who knows how it's going to play.  Can the GiantBomb staff dig in and see if Daft Punk is going to be working on the soundtrack to the game as well?

 Needs to be more neon and better contrast. It's early so it can be fixed. That's all i care about at this point. More neon and darker contrast.

The non-90 degree turning light cycles are dumb.  The right angle turns work so well because you would often try to get as close to an enemy wall as possible before turning.  Strategic chicken.  Can't really do that with smooth turning.

Massive dialogue-audio-editing fail in that trailer, on "in my path".

You are never going to say anything positive about anything, are you? ;-)
 
I watched the original movie just yesterday and I think it still kicks butt. It's technically impressive and looks pretty neat. Yeah, it's silly, geeky and slow-paced and some scenes are extremely dragged out, but compared to celluloid turds like "Transformers 2" it's high concept art.
 
The new Tron movie though … why? Why now? Someone obviously needs money, badly.

Not too interested in this as a game, but I did enjoy a peek at the movie's art direction from this trailer.

Cannot be as good as Tron 2.0.  They should have left the franchise at that.

Yeah, however to be fair, I don't think his view on Tron is necessarily wrong. To quickly address, I don't need a movie to be a brainless hyperactive mess to find it interesting. Tron lacked any decent character depth and verity in plot progression that even the riff tracks version got kinda boring. But, what probably bothered me the most is its pseudo take on computers seems rather cheesy by today's standards. Those Matrix movies kinda tried to do the same thing by representing programs as human characters, but eh, the more you know about computers, the harder it is to suspend disbelief.
