I was looking at some pictures from TRON Evolution today and I noticed a similarity to something I don't think I have shared here before.

Before I left Disney in 2005 we were working on concepts for TRON 3.0. That game was supposed to jump into the future and the characters would have some of the same kinds of capabilities the Legacy characters have.

The image that struck me the most was this one...


It looks and feels very similar to this image from Evolution.


It seems some of the work done for the 3.0 game might have made it into TRON Legacy and Evolution.

I have other examples coming soon.

How about this one?

The vehicle from Legacy...


Looks kind of like our Crawler from 3.0....


Not exact, but interesting that both have a 4 wheeler, no?

This one is a weaker example, but strangely was the pair of images that first made me think of this.

Legacy version...


TRON 3.0 Version...

Nice comparisons Dave! Awesome stuff! But this last one looks more like this concept image, IMO:

Here's one that shows we were ahead of the curve.

Our character would have complete control over where they were in the environment.

I give you, the Wall Walk...

I know...that would have been cool right?

Very similar to what they have designed into Evolution for their wall jumping capabilities.

How cool would this have been?

Beam Race

Beam Battle

It definately seems like a lot of the Tron 3.0 material inspired elements of Tron Evolution and Tron Legacy. Pretty dang awesome.

Then there was our disc design, look a little familiar? Certainly in the same spirit as Legacy at least.
