Thanks so much for watching! Let me know your thoughts on these games and what the perfect Tron game for you would be! Also, Check out my video on Tron: Uprising here: ua-cam.com/video/Datymy4-3r0/v-deo.html&ab_channel=JordanFringe
Since you’re on a roll with the tron media, could you please make a video about Tron Evolution: Battle Grids for the Nintendo Wii. It’s almost not talked about at all but that game is the definition of my childhood and I would love to see you play it and comment on it. Good work with the videos and keep it up!
Hey, Maybe next you could do Nintendo 64 Banjo Kazooie 1998, Nintendo 64 Mickey Mouse Speedway USA 2000 and Nintendo 64 Super Smash Bros 1999, if you can, thank you and great work you're doing.
I worked on this game. Propaganda was pretty much on life support when we made it. They'd laid off everyone and cancelled all other projects. A core group of us that were left made this game in about 12 months. Which is crazy considering the scope. Full story mode and multiplayer. Although it didnt do well, we had a great team working on it.
Bro this was my favorite game growing up🙏. I remember playing this all the time on the ps3. I tried playing it again some time ago but unfortunately there are problems with the disk. Thanks for the memories
So it’s been a hot minute since I played the games, so correct me if I’m wrong here. If I remember correctly, in Tron Evolution Battle Grids (the Wii one) you play an ISO, trying to win the championship, ultimately becoming the first ISO to do so. In Tron Evolution (the main one) we are told through the memory shards of the identity disc that Abraxas (the corrupted main villain of the game) was the first ISO to win the championship before he became corrupted. Therefore technically, we are playing Abraxas in Tron Evolution Battlegrids, making some events of Tron Evolution all the more tragic
@@buccham6354 so I just read the wiki to confirm your take and you are right. When Abraxas was an ISO (named Jalen) he was competing in the tournament, but when he was discovered to be an ISO he was disqualified. However he was then reinstated into the tournament by CLU (for alterier reasons) and became champion. Here’s the thing. In Battle Grids there’s (as far as I remember) no disqualification plot and no reinstatement into the game for the main character. However when winning, they are claimed to be the first ISO to win the championship. Additionally, Jalen‘s disqualification from the games wouldn’t make sense if there was already an ISO that won the championship before, therefore he too must be the first ISO to have won the championship, leading to a contradiction between the games, which should make one non-canon, which would end up to be Battle Grids (I mean for the most part it should already be, considering you are playing as your own avatar, which makes it already kinda weird that you are playing an ISO). But, if both are canon, and the disqualification storyline is just missing from Battle Grids (for whatever reasons), my assessment of you technically playing as Jalen/Abraxas in Battle Grids is correct. Maybe we are playing through the memories of Jalen, while they are being corrupted by his reprogramming into Abraxas leading to inconsistencies and memories missing.

PSA: if you want to ever see anything from Tron again, Tron Light cycle powerrun officially opens at Walt Disney world in 2 months (previews have already begun and I've ridden it) if the ride is popular enough and more importantly if the merch sells well, you might just see Disney do something with the property again
Even though previews have been incredibly disappointing for those who tried it and underperforming already... Disney just doesn't seem to get that you get out only as much as you put in
Great video! My company made the PSP version! So many challenges in getting the game done in time with the movie release. Disney actually commissioned a company to create an entire lore and backstory to set up the movies, but it was abandoned. Our game originally had more tie-ins to the origination of the ISO storyline planned, but we had written our narrative based on that backstory that was dropped, so we had to simplify it way down. We elected to just set it within a game tournament on the grid, so that we could be safe from outside story changes after that. We also had a goal to set a visual style that fell between the original film and the new one, to give a look at an earlier part of the evolution of the visual style that started in 1982. Our game was supposed to be set in 1985 (closer in the timeline to the original) and we had a whole bunch of great character concepts that tied closer to the original film, especially the guard characters. More along the lines of what the animated series did later. We made several test levels and samples in various styles, but ultimately Disney decided it should just look like the new movie. The only problem was, we couldn't see the movie, or even much art from it. We had a few concepts to go from, and had to fill in the gaps! Even with all the challenges, I LOVED working on this game! I've been a massive Tron fan since I was a kid, and this project was a dream come true. I even got to write for, and direct Bruce Boxleitner for the VO! We managed to do the entire game from scratch in about 9 months.
Oh TRON, a badass franchise that at first didn’t seem to catch on, but went on to become part of pop culture and everyone remembers as that really cool Disney movie with the cool bikes. and kickass soundtrack.
A tron VR game could be absolutely amazing. Half Life Alex gave me hope for VR, and Cyber Punk for the style. So many things could be done with Tron on this front.
That's because they went around making a audience and fandom the wrong way. You don't just go "here have BIG shiny thing. We spent a fortune on it, and under hyped it. Like it! LIKE IT!!!" If they want a audience, they need to get the audience involved. And a game is a great way to do that. But it has to be great, and it has to come first, it has to be compelling. And most importantly, just as the hype for the game starts to fade, announce the movie. I'm thinking MMO RPG set in the grid, preferably in the uprising art style(it's fun and dynamic, and not graphically intensive). Not just a good game. No, a masterpiece. Like Spider man for ps5. This way you don't just have a good audience, you have a captive audience. One that's begin for a theatrical release. Then hit them with a movie like legacy, but with more action and polish.
It’ll get there. The concept is too good. It just needs a breakthrough product. Timing is everything in film/TV. I think TRON could work as a show, as UPRISING was so good. The virtual sets that The Mandalorian uses could work for TRON, in a way to keep production costs down.
@@thomp9054 exactly. I don't understand why. Disney dumped so much money into the Tron franchise, and just, ditch it. It like they were looking for a lost to claim on taxes or something. It's stupid.
@@joeycoe85 the whole reason I got into the Tron franchise was UPRISING. I love that show, and really want it to have a proper ending. I also wouldn't mind TV adaptations the rest of the events between the first Tron and Legacy.
You made this video the same day I found my old Xbox 360 copy of this game. I loved Tron Evolution, and I also loved Tron Legacy. Great game, great movie. I really with Tron got more love because I would love to see a Tron game made in 2023!
I believe there was a Tron first person shooter game that came out during the PS2 era. And though they're not canon, it would be remiss to not mention when Tron was featured in the Kingdom Hearts series. KH2 had a Tron level based on the original film. And Dream Drop Distance had a level based on Legacy.
I freaken loved this game I beat it a lot and it was my first “big kid” game me and my father have been die hard fans of Tron, I thought. Abracadabra was one of the coolest villains ever!
Do you remember TRON 2.0? First person TRON game made before there was any whispers of a sequel movie, it served as a sequel and was actually pretty fun. It had a good variety of levels, including one that took place on a PDA, so the whole level was very claustrophobic. All the weapons were based on simple primative shapes modified as you went along. It was a unique and innovative game that told a story that was as good a sequel to TRON as we ever thought we were going to get... until we got a sequel to TRON that ignored Tron2.0. But I still remember it fondly. By comparison... this felt like a movie tie in.
I still play this game an absurd amount and can confirm that the gameplay is by far its best on hard mode with all upgrades. Enemies die much too easily from basic attacks on normal, but are so tanky on insane that you should only use heavy slam. Combat is by far its most fun if you stay moving. The stasis running attack gives you a shield that stays up while you sprint, so you can still do running and parkour attacks while invincible. There’s a lot more depth than is readily apparent, and it makes the game addictively fun.
Funny memory I remember on ps3 playing before the server got taken down I knew a man online named deathnuke and he played till the game got shutdown and as it shutdown he was number 1 on the leaderboard
While the gaming mechanics weren't perfect definitely remember loving this game. With Uprising and Legacy being huge for me, how could I not love this game? Haha
Same, I played the PS3 version, but I did not know about all this lore being spread out, (the exception being Uprising), I thought they all had the same story, different gameplay, and I didn't even know about the comic, shows what I know, eat your heart Kingdom Hearts. (Pun intended.)@@muriloleite7194
Gosh i loved the Tron series so much. I genuinely revisit the movie because it's that much of an enrapturing film to me. Sucks that disney just won't give us anymore Tron content. (And the Daft Punk soundtrack just sends me to another planet everytime i hear it)
Nice feature! I loved this game back in the day and played the heck out of it. I recently bought 'TRON RUN/r' which made me wanna go back and replay this, but its no longer on steam, and i'm PC only these days
my parents got me the collectors edition for my birthday years ago after the movie came out, i didnt know about the game and i dont remember asking for things that year, but it was a pretty great gift and i deeply regret having sold the collectors edition a few years later
I agree Evolution wasn't the most original in terms of gameplay, but I really liked both single and multiplayer and felt it was a solid tie-in. The only thing that didn't work for me was the different discs, I would have preferred multiple weapon types instead of using the Bomb Disc as much as possible. Hopefully with Tron Identity and Tron Ares on the way we'll see the Tron franchise re-rezz back from the Recycle Bin of Disney's Intellectual Properties, because I would freaking de-rezz a mother for a Tron Open-World game.
I played the 'hell' out of the wii version of tron evolution. It was sooo much fun to play with friends and family. The disc battles and light cycle battles was always so fun.
I never played this for more than 5 minutes at a game kiosk, but I did play Tron Evolution Battle Grids on the wii, and that game was great and I think mostly nailed what it was going for. Was one of my favourite games at the time.
I played Tron Evolution Battle Grids backed when I had a wii, you could customize your characters and everything and every make other characters for friends and family to play with
I received the collector's edition of this game too. It was one of the coolest gifts I ever got for my birthday. And yeah, I got that little light cycle that came with it and it unfortunately doesn't light up anymore.
I've come to accept that the general population have no taste in media. They just like what they're told to like. Therefore video franchises, styles of music, video games, go underappreciated. Admittedly, I'm not really drawn to TRON because of story or gameplay, but it's the visuals and charm of the franchise, making it with out a doubt my favorite. I can't comprehend why this franchise is undervalued and appreciated.
Still have the old 360 game. Love popping it in time to time to try and immerse myself in one of the greatest SciFi universes of all time. Funny part about this is I don’t care about the main story I just play the arena levels lol.
I don't know if you've played it or have access, but you should make a video on the PC Tron 2.0 game! It was the original canon sequel to the original and featured a few actors from the original reprising their roles. I personally think it's a much better and more complex sequel than Legacy, but of course that makes sense with a video game being a much longer and more interactive medium that can be used to tell a bigger story.
I played Tron 2.0 in late 2020, early 2021 after getting it on sale from Steam for only $2.50, I'm surprised how much I enjoyed it despite people saying it was "not a good game".
@@PikeTheFalcon Damn, I can't imagine anyone saying it's a bad game. I know it's nostalgic for me and that might make me biased, but I think it was amazing when it came out and in my opinion the art style makes the visuals hold up better than they could. Good on you for picking it up, it makes me happy to know there are still people discovering it! If you haven't yet, check out the Killer App Mod and the User Error expansions. There's some great fan made mod content there that'll give you even more to enjoy!
I enjoyed Tron: Evolution on PS3, but the controls were a little dodgey I found. Still, because the package was appealing, I got into it and had fun. Also played the PSP version, and Battlegrids on the Wii. My kids and I played that one together a lot! Yet, I couldn't believe that I played 3 different Tron games all tied to Legacy, and not one of them had the option to fly a light-jet. WTF.
As a fan of Tron I never played the game since I never had a 360 the close experience of playing a Tron videogame is playing Disney Infinity 3.0 as Sam Flynn.
I would highly recommend anyone on PC to play this via an emulator. Running this game on 4k looks absolutely insane, and it even holds up to modern games graphics wise.
The only TRON game I’ve remembered playing was the 2003 one. It’s a FPS game and you play as Alan’s son Jethro Bradley. They made their own tie in to the 1982 TRON movie. It’s seriously is a fun game and you definitely check it out man.
7:35. I liked the tank battles for two reason: They give a ton of EXP and A nice change of pace, after falling into the same hole 100 times because I can´t maked that stupid jump.
Tron is such a weird franchise. It was big enough to get support in several different media forms, even making it into Kingdom Hearts 2, but never really felt popular enough to gain the audience for all this support. I liked Light Bike (inspired by the light cycles in Tron) for the gameplay but I felt the Tron movie was mid. I never felt the urge to play games associated with the movie and never heard anyone else singing praises of Tron in general
So, just to check if TON 2.0 can still be bought on Steam, I typed TRON there, and... Apperantly there is gonna be a visual novel called Tron: Identity?
Loved this game, especially multiplayer maps with light cycles, but I always did better with the disc combat side of multiplayer. Absolutely love the xp shared between multiplayer and campaign
My first (and pretty much, only) exposure to the Tron franchise was the level in Kingdom Hearts 2 - and one level of playing around in the Grid was enough for me, haha. Though that level alone packed a lot of the most notable characters, lingo and elements into it, so much so that I do recognize when Tron is being referenced without having ever seen the movies. Nobody ever talks about it though, which kind of shocks me given that it probably introduced a lot of kids to that movie, not just me.
I played a couple of years later and actually really enjoyed it. Im not a fan of movie games but I feel the stigma of being one also affected it's sales.
If my friends had a Wii growing up, I ALWAYS brought Battle Grids with me. The Light Cycle Races & Arenas and the Light Runner arena battles had us hooked for hours! On top of the fact that there were customizable party rules and even cheats that changed trail and even jump height, the game had a deceptive amount of longevity. Less can be said for the scoop ball and disk battle games, but it was pretty clear they put a lot of their effort into the ones they knew would be fun. Kind of disappointing that Evolution sold so poorly because Battle Grids completely slapped.
I had Battle Grid for DS and played it almost everyday. You might think I got far into it, but I couldnt get passed the first door puzzle and just played the arcade mode constantly.
This was one of my favourite games I’ve ever played. This is the first and only game I have ever beat 100%. All achievements, collectables, lore stuff. The online was really fun as well. I have great memories of this game and if it was on PC I would probably re play it. I eagerly await a new Tron game. Who knows if it will even come.
Love the video! Ive been a fan of Tron since 2011 and always wanted the xbox and ps versions of the game but i was stuck with the ds version for years. There is another tron game separate from the legacy based games that looks more like the 1982 tron. Its called Tron 2.0 which also had a couple versions for pc xbox and gameboy advance. Ever thought about taking a look into them? Theyre all amazing games
I don't know how it would work, but I am convinced that Disney needs to keep an eye on vr. With Echo VR finding a work-around after Meta deciding to can it, Tron can step in with small tie-in demos. Able's Garage, the area in Arjia where Radia was derezzed, and social locations would be great settings for VR homes and mini games.
I absolutely LOVE this game and it's seriously one of my all time fav games. I feel like the gameplay and story was fine. Most reviews complaining about the controls seem to have been people who just sucked at the game. the controls weren't bad, they were just kinda sensitive and very responsive If Kevin Flynn plays video games better than anybody, then I play them worse than anybody. I love video games, but I'm not necessarily good at them, but this game? This is the only video game I've EVER beaten on the HARDEST difficulty (insane..and it's just as difficult as it sounds) and the multiplayer modes? MY USER, the multiplayer modes were the most fun I've ever had playing an online competitive multiplayer game. and there were TONS of people that constantly played on both the PS3 AND Xbox 30 servers (I switched once people found ways to cheat on the PS# version). I even used to be ranked 17th globally on the leaderboards for the multiplayer.
I'm so happy to see someone talking about Evolution! My sister and I played the hell out of that game when we were younger and it was actually the first game I ever played on my PS3. It's definitely a little bit janky but I still find it pretty fun despite it's often times repetitive nature. And I was always impressed by the quality of the story because I was so used to movie tie-in games sucking. Though forgotten by most, Tron: Evolution will always have a special place in my heart.

Therefore technically, we are playing Abraxas in Tron Evolution Battlegrids, making some events of Tron Evolution all the more tragic

Same, I played the PS3 version, but I did not know about all this lore being spread out, (the exception being Uprising), I thought they all had the same story, different gameplay, and I didn't even know about the comic, shows what I know, eat your heart Kingdom Hearts. (Pun intended.)@@muriloleite7194
TRON LIVES
Gosh i loved the Tron series so much. I genuinely revisit the movie because it's that much of an enrapturing film to me.
Sucks that disney just won't give us anymore Tron content.
(And the Daft Punk soundtrack just sends me to another planet everytime i hear it)
I can’t remember if he got it with that Xbox live gold thing a while back, but my cousin fucking loved this game. We played the shit out of it
Nice feature! I loved this game back in the day and played the heck out of it. I recently bought 'TRON RUN/r' which made me wanna go back and replay this, but its no longer on steam, and i'm PC only these days
I played it again recently through PS Premium but unfortunately online was dead. You can still play with bots though which is cool.
my parents got me the collectors edition for my birthday years ago after the movie came out, i didnt know about the game and i dont remember asking for things that year, but it was a pretty great gift and i deeply regret having sold the collectors edition a few years later
I agree Evolution wasn't the most original in terms of gameplay, but I really liked both single and multiplayer and felt it was a solid tie-in. The only thing that didn't work for me was the different discs, I would have preferred multiple weapon types instead of using the Bomb Disc as much as possible. Hopefully with Tron Identity and Tron Ares on the way we'll see the Tron franchise re-rezz back from the Recycle Bin of Disney's Intellectual Properties, because I would freaking de-rezz a mother for a Tron Open-World game.
whaaaaat the different discs was the best part for me!
I played the 'hell' out of the wii version of tron evolution. It was sooo much fun to play with friends and family. The disc battles and light cycle battles was always so fun.
I loved this game and I hope in the wake of a new Tron movie that someday a new game will be made.
I 100% that game on the Xbox 360, I loved the game and the multiplayer was fun when the servers were populated
The only thing I remember about this game is the multi-player. The light cycle game was infuriating, but still somewhat fun.
I never played this for more than 5 minutes at a game kiosk, but I did play Tron Evolution Battle Grids on the wii, and that game was great and I think mostly nailed what it was going for. Was one of my favourite games at the time.
I like Tron Evolution, especially for the story! Tron Battle Grids was really fun and it's a shame there was no online coop!
I played Tron Evolution Battle Grids backed when I had a wii, you could customize your characters and everything and every make other characters for friends and family to play with
I received the collector's edition of this game too. It was one of the coolest gifts I ever got for my birthday. And yeah, I got that little light cycle that came with it and it unfortunately doesn't light up anymore.
I've come to accept that the general population have no taste in media. They just like what they're told to like. Therefore video franchises, styles of music, video games, go underappreciated. Admittedly, I'm not really drawn to TRON because of story or gameplay, but it's the visuals and charm of the franchise, making it with out a doubt my favorite. I can't comprehend why this franchise is undervalued and appreciated.
Still have the old 360 game. Love popping it in time to time to try and immerse myself in one of the greatest SciFi universes of all time.
Funny part about this is I don’t care about the main story I just play the arena levels lol.
Me and my brother played the heck out if this in the psp
The way they incorporated Tron legacy in kingdom hearts dream drop distance was very cool I thought. The music was definitely topnotch too!
I'm a huge Cyberpunk fan and the Tron franchise is an inseparable part of that. The beautiful atmosphere and soundtrack is forever carved in my mind.
I remember renting this game at block busters when they were still around
"oh, BABY the janitor's cookin!" is so true but also friggin funny.
I don't know if you've played it or have access, but you should make a video on the PC Tron 2.0 game! It was the original canon sequel to the original and featured a few actors from the original reprising their roles. I personally think it's a much better and more complex sequel than Legacy, but of course that makes sense with a video game being a much longer and more interactive medium that can be used to tell a bigger story.
I played Tron 2.0 in late 2020, early 2021 after getting it on sale from Steam for only $2.50, I'm surprised how much I enjoyed it despite people saying it was "not a good game".
One of my favorites :) The different art style was so cool
@@PikeTheFalcon Damn, I can't imagine anyone saying it's a bad game. I know it's nostalgic for me and that might make me biased, but I think it was amazing when it came out and in my opinion the art style makes the visuals hold up better than they could. Good on you for picking it up, it makes me happy to know there are still people discovering it! If you haven't yet, check out the Killer App Mod and the User Error expansions. There's some great fan made mod content there that'll give you even more to enjoy!
@@twistedwell9568 I feel like they did such a good job translating what made the original movie look cool into video game form!
Just bought this game for my PS3 after watching your video! Can't wait to play it!
well now i need to know the timeline placement of the Tron themed personal space in Playstation Home
I picked this up it was cheap I didn’t think much of it when I got it but once I played it damn I enjoyed it to be honest.
Hopefully you’ll talk about Transformers: War for Cybertron someday
Tron and John Carter have massive potential
There's also a game TRON Run/R that look pretty much like Evolution in some aspect but not quite.
I enjoyed Tron: Evolution on PS3, but the controls were a little dodgey I found. Still, because the package was appealing, I got into it and had fun. Also played the PSP version, and Battlegrids on the Wii. My kids and I played that one together a lot! Yet, I couldn't believe that I played 3 different Tron games all tied to Legacy, and not one of them had the option to fly a light-jet. WTF.
Great video! The tron games always intrerest me
As a fan of Tron I never played the game since I never had a 360 the close experience of playing a Tron videogame is playing Disney Infinity 3.0 as Sam Flynn.
This was the first game I ever grinded on my PS3, I adored the story and the multiplayer.
It's oddly fascinating to see this combat style making a comeback in tron catalyst.
This game deserves a remaster
I own the sister game to this, Tron: Evolution: Battle Grids for the Wii. Great game. I should pop in the disc and play it sometime.
they need to make a new tron game. updated graphics. they better make one when tron: ares comes out
I used to watch playthroughs of this game like 10 years ago when I was an obsessed kid.
Of course. I still got my ps3 copy. God, Tron is a criminally underrated franchise.
I would highly recommend anyone on PC to play this via an emulator. Running this game on 4k looks absolutely insane, and it even holds up to modern games graphics wise.
is this still a thing? I have the 360 game.
The only TRON game I’ve remembered playing was the 2003 one. It’s a FPS game and you play as Alan’s son Jethro Bradley. They made their own tie in to the 1982 TRON movie. It’s seriously is a fun game and you definitely check it out man.
TRON 2.0 right? That game is kino I tell you.
I prefer that game to the new one.
I loved the psp version I still play it lmao
7:35. I liked the tank battles for two reason: They give a ton of EXP and A nice change of pace, after falling into the same hole 100 times because I can´t maked that stupid jump.
I thought the multiplayer bike game was really great. They should make a comeback especially with the bike game with teams. I can see it as something.
Tron is such a weird franchise. It was big enough to get support in several different media forms, even making it into Kingdom Hearts 2, but never really felt popular enough to gain the audience for all this support. I liked Light Bike (inspired by the light cycles in Tron) for the gameplay but I felt the Tron movie was mid. I never felt the urge to play games associated with the movie and never heard anyone else singing praises of Tron in general
So, just to check if TON 2.0 can still be bought on Steam, I typed TRON there, and... Apperantly there is gonna be a visual novel called Tron: Identity?
A visual novel game on steam???
@@ChristianGibbons777 the fact that is a visual novel is not really important XD
It was a decent game.. Not as good as TRON 2.0 however.. Now there's a game based on TRON that really captured the feeling of the OG movie. :)
Had a buddy in middle school who was obsessed with this game.
9:52 hell yeah! Toy Story 3 The Video Game deserves much more recognition!
I remember buying the DLC for the OG Grid multiplayer map and Flynns Gen 2 retro Light Cycle and dumping so many hours into Light Cycle battles
I never knew I share a birthday with the Tron video game
Classic game. Classic movie. The sequel, Tron: Legacy, is also my favorite movie. These were revolutionary in CGI and special effects, incredible.
Loved this game, especially multiplayer maps with light cycles, but I always did better with the disc combat side of multiplayer. Absolutely love the xp shared between multiplayer and campaign
My first (and pretty much, only) exposure to the Tron franchise was the level in Kingdom Hearts 2 - and one level of playing around in the Grid was enough for me, haha. Though that level alone packed a lot of the most notable characters, lingo and elements into it, so much so that I do recognize when Tron is being referenced without having ever seen the movies. Nobody ever talks about it though, which kind of shocks me given that it probably introduced a lot of kids to that movie, not just me.
I played a couple of years later and actually really enjoyed it. Im not a fan of movie games but I feel the stigma of being one also affected it's sales.
Is everyone just remembering tron I swear I’ve seen like 20 tron videos this week. I mean I’m all for it though!
I still play evolution to this day
Dude I loved the ever loving shit out of this game, especially the multiplayer
If my friends had a Wii growing up, I ALWAYS brought Battle Grids with me. The Light Cycle Races & Arenas and the Light Runner arena battles had us hooked for hours! On top of the fact that there were customizable party rules and even cheats that changed trail and even jump height, the game had a deceptive amount of longevity. Less can be said for the scoop ball and disk battle games, but it was pretty clear they put a lot of their effort into the ones they knew would be fun. Kind of disappointing that Evolution sold so poorly because Battle Grids completely slapped.
I had Battle Grid for DS and played it almost everyday. You might think I got far into it, but I couldnt get passed the first door puzzle and just played the arcade mode constantly.
Hey I got the same white light cycle c: I loved Tron when I was in high school and dang did I want this franchise to really lift off…
This was one of my favourite games I’ve ever played. This is the first and only game I have ever beat 100%. All achievements, collectables, lore stuff. The online was really fun as well. I have great memories of this game and if it was on PC I would probably re play it. I eagerly await a new Tron game. Who knows if it will even come.
i need an open world tron game and an open world bladerunner game right now
Love the video! Ive been a fan of Tron since 2011 and always wanted the xbox and ps versions of the game but i was stuck with the ds version for years. There is another tron game separate from the legacy based games that looks more like the 1982 tron. Its called Tron 2.0 which also had a couple versions for pc xbox and gameboy advance. Ever thought about taking a look into them? Theyre all amazing games
I don't know how it would work, but I am convinced that Disney needs to keep an eye on vr. With Echo VR finding a work-around after Meta deciding to can it, Tron can step in with small tie-in demos. Able's Garage, the area in Arjia where Radia was derezzed, and social locations would be great settings for VR homes and mini games.
I absolutely LOVE this game and it's seriously one of my all time fav games. I feel like the gameplay and story was fine. Most reviews complaining about the controls seem to have been people who just sucked at the game. the controls weren't bad, they were just kinda sensitive and very responsive
If Kevin Flynn plays video games better than anybody, then I play them worse than anybody. I love video games, but I'm not necessarily good at them, but this game? This is the only video game I've EVER beaten on the HARDEST difficulty (insane..and it's just as difficult as it sounds) and the multiplayer modes? MY USER, the multiplayer modes were the most fun I've ever had playing an online competitive multiplayer game.
and there were TONS of people that constantly played on both the PS3 AND Xbox 30 servers (I switched once people found ways to cheat on the PS# version).
I even used to be ranked 17th globally on the leaderboards for the multiplayer.
I'm so happy to see someone talking about Evolution! My sister and I played the hell out of that game when we were younger and it was actually the first game I ever played on my PS3. It's definitely a little bit janky but I still find it pretty fun despite it's often times repetitive nature. And I was always impressed by the quality of the story because I was so used to movie tie-in games sucking.
Though forgotten by most, Tron: Evolution will always have a special place in my heart.
( ´◡‿◡`)
Wasn’t there another similar game that came out on wii as well? Called battle grids I believe.
Yes, and he talks about that game in this video
Yeah! TRON LIVES 😊
really loved this game
I like this. Thanks for the review. I think I'll see if it's available on the PSN Store.
Def remeber playing tron evolution on ps4 and ds loved em both
the Tron universe is really cool, they should give the right to the TRON IP to Monolith and have them make a Nemesis System game for Tron.
Thank you bro
I remember tron evolution, my favority game
