Tron 2.0 Previews Disc-overed

Posted by simoniker on from the bzoooom-zuga-zugwang dept.

Aron Schatz writes "You've probably all seen the original movie that the game is based on, but, judging by this PC preview from Gamespy, Tron 2.0 is a completely new universe." Fortunately, there are still light cycles and pseudo-futuristic glow effects everywhere, as IGN.com also noted, and these can be better appreciated in the most recently released trailer movie (Fileplanet link, Fileshack link, BitTorrent link courtesy Gametab.)

    Not based on the Tron movies - lack of multiplayer.... boy, just gets better and better. Sounds like Monolith is doing their regular quality of gaming. Crud. Sounds like I'll be sticking to GLTron for my Tron-action.

    ..the bikes change direction without banking and *after* the bike's already passed the entirety of the corner of the turn. In other words, when the bike changes direction, it pivots on the extreme rear of its rear wheel.

    Looks terrible. I mean I know the movie had them turning 90 degree angles all over the place and doing crazy tricks and so on, but when the camera would follow them, it would bank and smooth out the motion a little. It wasn't quite so jarring an effect in the movie.
