Tron: The Game
by Maarten Goldstein, Jul 27, 2001 8:17am PDTThere is a story about a Tron revival on Yahoo, which mentions a 20th anniversary DVD of the original movie, a sequel being worked on and also talks about a new computer game. Monolith will be developing this game for Disney Interactive, with an expected release year of 2003. Here's what little info is available for the title
Disney Interactive is readying a "Tron" PC video game for a 2003 release, according to sources close to the project, who are hoping the theatrical sequel will tie in to the release. The first-person-perspective action game, being developed by Monolith, is expected to be the first teen-rated game for Disney's video game division. The game is set within the "Tron" universe and will incorporate online gameplay. This "Tron" game is expected also to appear on Microsoft's Xbox (news - web sites) video game system.Thanks Blues News.

Is there any fun in hitting the MPU and giant 30 foot tall men with bad accents with spinning blue discs that do no actual physical damamge?
If you give today's audience a projectile throwing weapon in a 3D game, they'll want to be able to cut guys' limbs and head off with it... Everyone's standards is going up, and there's no way you can successfully sell an action game and keep it within the limits of the Disney genre.

Nice to see that they finally grew up.
Zombie's Atlantis game was really weak. They had some demos running at Disney's Hollywood run of Atlantis and E3 and nobody could make heads or tails of it, including myself. They've got a long way to go to make a first-person shooter that's well-suited for the PC mass market. I don't get how they make such a feeble game and distribute millions of demos for it. LithTech seems to be a magnet for wackness. Barking Dog's Global Operations at E3 looked like a decent game... for 1998.
I really like Tron, so hopefully Monolith can handle the engine better than their licensees have been able to...
