The new Tron: Evolution trailer showcases the game’s athletic platforming action and combat. And can see it right here…
Depicting a vibrant digital world that exists only on a server, the premise of Tron has always been the perfect setting for a videogame – indeed, the 1982 original took its inspiration from the burgeoning electronics and games industries of the day.
Thanks to the mighty power of 21st century computers and consoles, the world of Tron now looks more detailed and ethereal than ever, and Tron: Evolution, the forthcoming videogame that will act as a prequel to Joe Kosinski’s movie Tron: Legacy out in December, is the best-looking Tron game so far by a considerable margin.
And while many of the stills and preview footage we’ve seen of Tron: Evolution so far have been predominantly blue, the latest gameplay trailer hints at a broader colour palette, with its athletic protagonist, Anon, leaping, flipping and slapping his way around an environment of acid greens and searing ambers.
The combat has a fast, free-flowing look to it, and the ‘de-rezzing’ effect, where an opponent explodes in a shower of cubes when defeated, looks almost as good as it does in the movie itself.
Tron: Evolution is due for release on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PSP on 26 November, with a PC version following on in December.
