"Tron on the way to X-Box ??"

With the SR site being slow on my comp today I decided to visit Gamespot and look through the recent news and stuff. I went through the list of X-Box games and I saw Tron in there ! :-))

I'll be well happy if its that PC game of Tron. :-) Can finally enjoy participating in the best part of the film - the bike scene ! :-)))

Saw the film today.

Interesting itsn't it.
A film based around retro games (which were state of the art when the film was made) is having a game based on it...

Am I the only one who's played the original? Surely not...

Bikes going around square, walls built to destroy others, ya?

3D that? Boring. I'll just go play the 2D one.

I don't think the games is based on the film (well, obviously it's based on the same world!). I could be wrong though...

Yeah the PC game looks excellent, would love to see it on the X-Box. :-) Another game on the massive wants list. ;-))

oh Tron! i know what Tron is. didn't know they're making a game from it though :S

Yeah i tend to link those to the bike scene. ;-) This will sound sad but when I was little and games were too basic to give you the experience of the films you wanted, I used to actually recreate that Tron scene out of Lego LOL ;-))

I used to get the boards together to make the arena, put a different colour block on a set of wheels (red, blue, yellow, black) for the bikes. Then I'd make the patrol craft and tanks. The tanks were a very basic lookalike but the patrol craft were easily recreated cause of their shape. ;-)) Even had detachable legs so I could turn them and put them in the middle for the stomping bit they do. ;-))

See Wookie, these damn kids don't know how good they've got it these days. ;-)) LOL

Though the tank and the 'space invader' patrol craft are pretty cool, too!

Tron the film you mean ? Basically its a film about viedeogame players that get sucked into whats called the master control programme where they end up playing death matches against eachother. Quite a harsh story for a Disney film. ;-)

I mean its not gory or anything, but its still got that surprising feel to it because your watching people litterally play to the death. If you get round to seeing the film sometime, I guarantee the bit that you'll enjoy the most will be the bike seen. ;-)

Basically the players turn into futuristic looking bikes and race around a grid leaving a colour trail behind them. If another player hits that colour trail they are destroyed. Of course some of the players don't like the idea of basically being prisoners, playing games until they die, so they make a bid for freedom. Pretty good film, although its quite old now, but the effects are still pretty good.

If that news of the X-Box Tron game is anything to go by, it also said about another Tron film being made at the moment. Could be a great film with effects available now. :-)

what's Tron about?
