there was a QR code at the bottom of my game informer magazine leads to this video:

i figured there would be some who had it but could not use it also... this was my discovery first to post it

Ugh, I hope Kevin Flynn's lightcycle doesn't sound like a vacuum cleaner in the actual game, too (starting at the :57 mark). Anyways, looks pretty good, but you know me -- could be better! Lacks polish. Most if it looks pretty GL Tron fan-made. I'm sure it'll be fun for a while though. Starting about the :35 mark, I LOVE that I can hear the classic arcade game (of lightcycles) in the velocity sound there.

Imagine a dust buster vaccuum that looks like a light cycle, I would buy one!

Careful, you are upsetting another member of this forum by not thinking it's a wonderful idea! :-)

I doesn't sound like a vaccum cleaner to me. But whatever, have fun bashing the game, everyone else does. Whatever...

yeah and the Recognizers in the original Tron sound like helicopters. so what.

IMO a crappy video clip with terrible low-fi audio is not really good enough to pre-judge any sound effect.

Never said or implied a person can't be critical. Just that some criticism in my view comes off as too harsh and seems like overly negative nit-picking on the most minor of things that is really not that important to the overall game/film or whatever.

It would be nice if the game would be given a fair analysis after playing the finished game in full rather then picking out one minor oddity and focusing on that. Just sayin'.

Ok. But it's best to balace out the negative points with positive points. I'm not expecting a perfect game, and I think the game will have a few subjective flaws/weaknesses.

If I were to review a game I would point out all the strengths and positives first then be fair and explain in a reasonable way what the weaknesses are. In an attempt to be fair and not outright tear down a game. If a game is filled with bugs, and many glaring flaws and game breaking weakness then by all means explain what those are. But the criticisms should be something with a bit more substance than "I think the Lightcycles are awful in this game because they all sound like vaccume cleaners" Just sayin'.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that sound. You're right! And that sound bothered me for similar reasons. I think the part that bothers me most is the max speed sound is too constant... not a lot of interesting turbulance that, say, a Recognizer might have. Did you really like it in Halo 1? I don't remember what it sounds like in Halo 2...

I can appreciate the ghost in Halo 1 somewhat, but max speed is attained too quickly and then the sound isn't very interesting to me.
