Tron Legacy Game Pretty Much Confirmed

Tron Legacy Game Pretty Much Confirmed

The writer and producer of Tron Legacy has confirmed that there will be a tie-in game.

Back in 1982, Stephen Lisberger's Tron was a little ahead of its time and fell very much into the niche of 'cult classic'. Its sequel, Tron Legacy, which got a lot of people excited with its trailer/concept footage [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/93432-Tron-Teaser-Hits-Comic-Con], should fare a little better now that computer effects are a little more common.

A tie-in game is probably not going to hurt either and Lisberger, who is serving as producer and writer for the sequel, has all but confirmed that a Tron Legacy game is in the works. After speaking to Lisberger at Disney's D23 Expo, Latino Review [http://www.latinoreview.com/news/confirmed-there-will-be-a-tron-legacy-video-game-7980] reported:

"Steven did confirm that yes, there IS a video game in the works by Disney Interactive. He said he wasn't sure if he should mention it or not, but he's confirming it anyway."

So that means that there will be a game based on the sequel to a movie that was kind of about games, which is probably philosophical in some way. What's interesting is trying to figure out what kind of game it's actually going to be. Tron Legacy has an aesthetic unlike any other movie that I can think of, and it seems to deserve more than a quick cash-in third person action-adventure game.

One thing's for sure though, we're going to get to ride those awesome looking lightcycles.

[hypothetical fact]

It will be a timed motorcycle racing game, also you only get one cycle.

 

[The Great Zegrool]

Want is the only word I can use to describe this.

Seriously, this is just awesome.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

Yay, another Tron.
My Father will be happy. I'll tell him now.
*Goes to the window and shouts*
He's told.

 

[Aiden Rebirth]

I dare them to make a good game. I'll bet them sixty dollars they make a bad game. Come on disney bring it, BRING IT!!!

 

[QuirkyTambourine]

There's so many ways this can go, it can become like Harry Potter...or it could become like *insert great game based off a movie* Sorry, nothing comes to the front of my mind.

I have very high hopes though.

 

[Low Key]

Disney is making the game? Great, because we all know they make games not designed for little kids...

T.R.O.N. was one of the first and almost singular game/movie tie-in where both were great in their own way. (Possible exception of the Star Wars vector sit in cabinet)

Do not let me down on this or the MCP will have you defragged. Or worse, sent to Norton.

I thought the XBOX TRON game was pretty good.

I have this horrible (or possibly cool) image of Dokken in a Tron setting working for the MCP now. Thanks.

Seeing as how the Tron PC and Xbox game came off pretty well I have decent hopes for this game though

 

[Wakefield]

Look if its anything like the original tron game I will be hooked. Even though I was bad at it.

 

[TraumaHound]

Honestly, is this really surprising news? It would've been more shocking if it was confirmed that there wasn't a game tie-in coming.

Glad to be of service citizen.

 

[Dogstile]

oh god a tron game, this is going to be so aweso-

"Steven did confirm that yes, there IS a video game in the works by Disney Interactive. He said he wasn't sure if he should mention it or not, but he's confirming it anyway."

nevermind...damn

 

[Darenus]

WEll, let'S all hope that with the originator's support the movie will be faithful and inventive and the game offer a good slice of nostalgia back to the X-box (if you like), arcade and C64 games with hopefully well balanced gameplay to story ratio or just mindless bits-blasting fun.

Chances of success: well as I heard neither good or bad about it so far, I have fair chances for it to either hit or miss by 50/50

 

[Woem]

Daft Punk should really supply the background music for this game, or for the actual movie remake for that matter.

 

[DrunkWithPower]

I will buy it, only if they have to opinion to use Big Lebowski lingo instead of Tron movie quotes.

 

[messy]

Yeah light cycles, no movie tie in game. The odds of this being good are very very slim.

 

[Magnatek]

Yay, another Tron.
My Father will be happy. I'll tell him now.

I don't know about you, but I happened to like Tron. The first one may have been made in my father's time, but I liked watching it.
