I've only heard of TRON 2.0 being released on the PC but my American mate reckons he heard it was due for the PS2 among others.

Can anyone confirm or deny this? To be honest, with my 33.6 modem and prospects of Broadband in my area dwindling, I'd actually RATHER it had a PS2 release, since all the internet benefits won't benefit me at all.

Luckily for me, I'm getting a brand spanking new PC in July, so hopefully I'll be able to play the game regardless.

So... anyone care to confirm or deny?

I can see an X-Box port since the X-Box uses an nVIDIA GPU and will therefore be able to produce the "TRON glow".
Most likely, the biggest stumbling block to porting TRON 2.0 to a non-PC based platform would be that platform's ability (or inability) to produce the glow. As one of the Monolith employees stated in an interview, "without the glow there is no game."

It could come out on the PS2 as well seeing as there is nVidia chipset inside that as well which will give you the glowing effects easy, they will just have to lower the rez to get it to run smooth for the PS2 platform

Here are the more in-depth descriptions of the PS2's graphics hardware directly from Sony's website:

GRAPHICS SYNTHESIZER™ Pioneering Technology The Graphics Synthesizer incorporates a massively parallel rendering engine that contains a 2,560-bit wide data bus--20 times the size of leading PC-based graphics accelerators. Very high pixel fill rates and drawing performance are achieved using embedded DRAM process technology pioneered by SCE for use in advanced graphics technology. Unrivaled Graphics Performance The original PlayStation introduced the concept of the Graphics Synthesizer via the real-time calculation and rendering of a 3D object. The new GS rendering processor is the ultimate incarnation of this concept--delivering unrivaled graphics performance and capability. The rendering function was enhanced to generate image data that supports NTSC/PAL television. The quality of the resulting screen image is comparable to movie 3D graphics in real time. Superior Memory Access Bandwidth In the design of graphics systems, the rendering capability defined by the memory bandwidth between the pixel engine and the video memory. Conventional systems use external VRAM reached via an off-chip bus that limits the total performance of the system. For the new GS, however, there is a 49-gigabyte memory access bandwidth achieved via the integration of the pixel logic and the video memory on a single high performance chip.

Nowhere is nVIDIA mentioned.

Maybe you're thinking of ATI's recent technology development agreement with Nintendo?

Besides the X-Box, no other current console gaming system is capable of producing the "TRON glow" as it appears on the PC. Developers may find a way to simulate it, but it will most likely be a poor substitute.
