Yeah, I know. I'm so happy knowing that the versions I'm getting is different from each other.

Hmm, some of the information on that page is actually a bit questionable in accuracy.

The team then went on to discuss various elements of the TRON Universe beginning with the color palette. In the original film, you were pretty much either blue or red, but by the time TRON: Legacy hits the screens, there’s a rainbow assortment of trim colors as easily spotted in the trailer. As with the original film, each color means something different and they are gradually added into the TRON timeline as events occur. Although they declined to mention specifics at the panel regarding the colors, I dare mention that many of them represent different factions that have built up in the Universe as a result of the ongoings.

That's bull. If anything, compared to what we've seen so far of Legacy/Evolution, the original Tron film had just as much color variation. If not more so. There were all sorts of programs with various colors, and the landscapes were also a rainbow of colors. Not to mention Tron 2.0, which went into greater depth defining the different factions and their colors.

The player takes on the role of Anon (that’s short for Anomaly)

Radia comes from the world of the ISOs and can tap into the system. She is the world’s historian, aware of every event that has ever happened, and can even see into the immediate future.

This sounds like shades of the Oracle from The Matrix . . .

we meet our first virus in the form of Abraxus

Simple typo, but would've been nice if the author got this right.



Overall a good article, but I don't think whoever wrote it did all their homework.

End of Line. A slight upgrade - from the Intellivision versions... I guess...

i honestly don't see what some "tron fans'" problems are with the new game

IMO it's unfortunate that some people (not refering too or addressing anyone one specific) are prematurely, negatively pre-judging the game way too soon without having played the finished game and experiencing the storyline that the game presents.

Visually I think the game looks excellent and seems to have solid gameplay (i dont mind that it's derivative of the Prince of Persia games in some ways).

1) there's a difference between what are movie re-makes of some 80's tv show or 80's movie that has *no* involvement from the original writers/actors/director, where the remake nearly entirely scraps the *lore* of the original film/tv show, and adds in really cheesy material or greatly alters the characters way too much.

IMO a videogame that being made by people that actually love the original film TRON, whom visited the set of Tron Legacy and incorperated many elements of the TL into Tron Evolution, they *get* Tron, respect the lore of the Tron universe. Heck they even incorperated 90o angle turns for the Light Cycles...

The developer didn't twist things to make Tron himself some cocky a**h**** with a shaven head, or give Quorra blonde hair and make her a vapid bimbo, and neither did they make the "Tron World" look like wheat and corn filled fields with farms and wood cabins with speeding around "Light Cows." They didn't make Kevin Flynn some 14 yr old hipster cowboy with black hair, two revolvers riding a white horse while a slim witman tune plays in the background and call the game "Tron: Blue Bad Bart Redemption".
There's basing something on established lore and *respecting it*, and then there's basterdization. It's ill conceived basterdization in some of these remakes that I think is really really ridicuolous.

Stuff like the remake of Clash of the Titan's which I had saw a pre-release screening of some time ago, and it showed me that it *didn't* respect the *lore* of the original and that it twisted and misrepresented major elements of ancient Greek lore.

2) the DEMO of T:E at SDCC 2010 was the training section of the game and not the full game.
I thought that while it seemed a little "rough" in some ways, but it seemed was going in the right direction. Reports from NYCC and PAX which had a newer demo based on a closer to finished build of the game, well those reports have for the most part been very positive from what I've read. It looks like the game is shaping up to be a pretty good, solid game.

But for gamers that don't like Prince of Persia type gameplay, I think they aren't really going to enjoy it. Just like I find Halo series, CoD games. and Modern Warfare games to me are very unimpressive, uninteresting, and bore me out of my mind when I try to play them!
The best FPS type games ive played have been the Metroid Prime games, Tron 2.0 and although I haven't played it, I hear Bioshock is really good.
I enjoyed PoP: Warrior Within, and T:E reminds me of that so i find the gameplay fun, and the Light Cycle and tank sections help switch things up it seems.

When I refer to people that pre-judge the Tron Evolution, I am for the most part talking about those that see the latest trailers which IMO show amazing look sections of the game, and what are IMO great looking visuals, and some of the polished up gameplay and yet still say " this sh** sucks" or " game = sh** " or "this sucks because Disney made it" etc etc, like they know for certain the game is "aweful", like Uwe Boll himself was making some low-budget shovelware tie-in thrown together in a month. Which IMO T:E isn't.

It's fine if the gameplay isn't one's "cup o' tea", but dang, these guys have been developing this game for about 2 years, and it sure seems like they are pushing to make a really good, solid game.

Amen brotha

I hope my Nvidia GeForce 8600GT and 1 gig of Ram are enough to run the game. I can upgrade RAM if needed.

I'm thinking I might run into trouble if I have to buy another graphics card, since the 8600 GT only has 256 MB (video memory) I worry that it may not be enough to run Tron Evolution.

I'm unsure what better Graphics card I could get that's cheap, doesn't use two slots and doesn't require me to buy and install a new Power supply...

I have a PCI-E x16 slot with the 8600GT in it now. Any recommendations would really help...
