[Man]

Saw a longer video preview posted on the PS.Blog that is worth sharing:

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010...ort-stereoscopic-3d-and-multiplayer-detailed/

Seems like the game is in really good form.
Consistent character leveling\upgrades shared between MP and SP.
Cool atmospheric city environments and excellent art.
Stereoscopic 3D.
Variety of gameplay modes.
Looks Great.

I hope this turns out awesome.

 

[Unicorn]

GB quicklook made it look repetitive.

 

[Giolon]

Did you watch the GiantBomb quick look? I seemed linear and poorly animated with lame, simple combat.

 

[Scuba Steve]

Graphics look pretty nice...when it doesn't show the bland distant background...

And umm...Daft Punk may have music in it...

This is hard

 

[shawnlreed]

Oh God, 1UP gave Tron Evolution a D+

I have this game pre-ordered based entirely on my love of the Tron franchise.
Jeff Gerstmann's review should be up this week, I wonder if he'll have a more positive spin on it.

Spoiler

I predict he gives it a 3/5

 

[jgkspsx]

I was afraid of this

From watching videos, though, it's about what I expected. I will probably still pick these up, but only at the clearance bin.

OTOH, Tron: Killer App for GBA was savaged everywhere and I liked it enough to play it to completion... multiple times.

Great opportunity to dust off Tron 2.0: Killer App for Xbox, though. I wonder if they'll release it as an Original.

 

[∀ Narayan]

Tron 2.0 is great. This is not.

 

[shawnlreed]

Tron 2.0 is great. This is not.

It's really looking that way, isn't it.
I loved, loved, loved Tron 2.0
Seriously, I loved it.

 

[robot]

This was one licensed game I was hoping turned out good, given all of the potential the franchise has in gaming. I just want some good light cycle and disc throwing action!

To be fair, Nolan North accounts for one of those stars.

 

[Lijik]

The games traversal gave off a pop2008 vibe, so ill check it out when it goes down in price (or if any b2g1f happens)

 

[Wario64]

So crap game...most likely crap movie...I guess the only good thing to come out of this Tron craze is a Daft Punk soundtrack. And being able to play 25 cent arcade games at Disneyland California.

 

[∀ Narayan]

I guess the only good thing to come out of this Tron craze is a Daft Punk soundtrack.

Which, from what I've heard, isn't all that great.

 

[Muffdraul]

Relative to how much of a complete piece of shit I assumed this game would end up being... it's looking absolutely stupendously amazingly great to me. Will def purchase when it hits $19.99.

 

[yankeehater]

The movie looks amazingly great, I really hope this is good also.

 

[Kai Dracon]

Which, from what I've heard, isn't all that great.

There's going to be epic backlash from deluded fans who thought it'd be a studio album, and that every single track would be like Derezzed.

It's a damned motion picture score; one that's ambient and unsettling thanks to Daft Punk's input.

I suspect people who will view it as am ambient chillout album will get the most out of it as standalone music.

 

[Lard]

I played this at the Toronto sneak peek event.

The light cycle parts were great.

 

[AkuMifune]

Did you watch the GiantBomb quick look? I seemed linear and poorly animated with lame, simple combat.

I appreciate the OP's enthusiasm, but I saw the QuickLook too. It speaks for itself.

 

[jkanownik]

It's playable at Disneyland in their Tron dance party. It looked better than I was expecting, but I lost interest after a few minutes.

 

[Wario64]

Which, from what I've heard, isn't all that great.

I liked it. I guess only people who will hate are those that hate movie soundtracks. Cause that's what it is.

 

[SonOfABeep]

WOW this game is looking great I will be sure to buy it new on release for multiple platforms

I never listened to Daft Punk before listening to the score. I just thought it was pretty lackluster. Inception is my score of the year.

 

[I AM JOHN!]

Tron 2.0 is great.

Seriously! Why did everyone hate it? >:|

Eurogamer gave it a 7.

 

[Takao]

I played this game on two separate occasions, it was kind of dull.

 

[RS4-]

The platforming is pretty bad and the fighting isn't that great. Then again, I've only done one lightcycle section and one tank portion on top of it.

But yeah...it's ok I suppose. I should read up on the reviews and see what they say about it as well.

People suck. I think the critical perception turned around, though.

Sounds like an excessively harsh review on the game, just because it doesn't carry much hype behind it. I'll wait for more reviews. It looks like a really good time from everything I've seen of the game, at least by licensed-properties-standards.

 

[LiK]

waiting for more reviews.

 

[jgkspsx]

I'm probably going to regret asking this, but...

any impressions of the Wii and DS games?

EDIT: moderately favorableish for Wii? ("I'm not buyin' it, but I'd play it at a friend's house for sure!") Didn't know it was an F-Zero GX ripoff.

 

[Aaron]

Seriously! Why did everyone hate it? >:|

I thought the single player was pretty dull, with awkward attempts at storytelling, but the multiplayer mode where you can switch from first person to cycles on the fly was so damn awesome.

 

[jaundicejuice]

This is a license-based game that did not have much in the way of time for production, 18 months is what I've heard, from a troubled studio that has had two projects cancelled, half of its staff laid off recently and could be shut down in the near future if this game fails to sell well. How good of a game do you realistically think this is going to be? About average for license based drek would probably be a safe guess.

 

[Mdk7]

Despite my love for Propaganda (i'll be forever grateful for Turok, probably the most underrated game of this generation!) and despite my passion for the franchise the game seems frankly garbage, or at least it looked like that at E3.

Wii version is a different game. Made by N-Space.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

The 3D Lightcycle portion (PS3) I played at Gamescom was pretty terrible, but did look much more polished during the Giantbomb Quick Look EX.
Still I'm not very hopeful unfortunately.

 

[chogidogs]

Johnny V sends his regards.

 

[Scrow]

well... the music is good.

 

[JohngPR]

The QL for it was painful to watch on Giantbomb.

I can't imagine a situation where Ryan/Jeff weren't thinking "Man, this game's horrible." while watching Johnny V mess up jump after jump. LOL

 

[SturokBGD]

+1 Tron 2.0.

I hate to say it but I'm betting Tron 2.0 will be a far superior sequel than the actual movie, too. I'd bet a testicle but I actually hope I'm wrong.

 

[Stallion Free]

Spoiler

Every Quicklook is painful to watch because they aren't funny and they always suck at the games they play.

 

[Miggytronz]

Holding out for reviews.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Eurogamer game it a 7/10

that quicklook was being played by the development director from Disney interactive.

My statement still works. I said they suck at playing games, I didn't say they sucked at playing that one.

 

[Beowulf28]

Is Jeff Bridges in the game?

 

[S1kkZ]
