WOW!!!
I hope the story lives up to the visuals. Just seeing Bruce Boxleitner(TRON) in the beginning of the trailer gave me chills.
I can't wait to see this movie.

However, my comments about the visual still stands. And, really, it's more of a personal taste. Maybe it's because I'm a gamer and is used to seeing what my XB0x 360 is capable of.
The original TRON was great because it replicated what video games were capable of at the time and hence what the virtual world might be like.
Nowadays, where we have games that pushes the envelope, I just don't see why they're sticking with the subdued monochromatic palette.
TRON looks like a Kindle when it should look like an iPad.
I understand that it's supposed to be more than just about the visuals, but Disney could have gone with a more cyberpunk look.
Here are some examples of actual in game graphics from upcoming games.
Grand Tourismo 5
God of War III
Haken,
Have you played Heavy Rain yet? Groundbreaking stuff, and the visuals in it are insane.

I've seen it. Definitely awesome visuals, but not exactly my kind of game. I'm more a 'Halo: Reach' kind of guy. Definitely going pickup a copy of that when it comes out.

I personally prefer the stylized look. Games today are so advanced graphically that they approach a real life look - and that represented in a film would essentially just make it look like every single other CG heavy blockbuster.
i like that it has it's own world to it, that sets it out as distinct. If it reflected how games look now, it'd look generic. Sure, you could have a Gran Turismo-esque scene.... that would play like one of the CG car chases in Fast & Furious. And a God of War scene that looks like a deleted scene from Clash of the Titans. Meh.
But keeping the stylized look - there's nothing else out there that it resembles, and I see that as a very good thing.

Been playing that myself this week. Very engrossing (when the PS network doesn't jam the whole damned thing up, grrrrr).

Totally agree with you on this STORYMARK. This over preoccupation with making CGI reflect reality is tiresome and lacks finesse. It's a little like making a painting look like a photograph. Where's the style in that?
...And have you guys played Grand Tourismo 5,6,7, or whatever we're on now? It's as sterile as Grand Tourismo 1. Jacked up graphics does not a great game make.
But each to their own I guess. Could be why only a handful of folk watched the original TRON back in 82...

Oh, I have nothing against realistic graphics in games, nor photo-realistic painting (which is what I studied for years, actually). But for the purposes of a movie such as Tron, looking like everything else would be boring.
Agreed about improved graphics not improving gameplay. I don't care how shiny the graphics are, if it aint fun, I aint playin.
As to people not watching Tron back in the day.... I would say some of it has to do with the visual style - which was rather wild at the time. But also, part of it comes down to Disney's distribution system at the time - they had an abysmal record in the late 70's/early 80's for live-action films, so many theatres refused to run Tron. And then there was this little scifi kids movie that came out just after Tron.... went by the name of ET.....

I do with games! I remember getting Grand Tourismo 3. I sat there, with my front room totally realigned so that I could squeeze in this contraption of a force feedback steering wheel, brake and accelerator pedals all primed and clamped down so as to not diminish the whole driving sensation and what happens? I spend the better part of the night chugging around in this:
endlessly going around an OVAL circuit to ramp up some credit to buy what? some better brakes for the lupo!!! Realism gone mad mate.
Photo realistic painting is fine - I studdied that too - but I like me some individual style in there somewhere's I guess. More of an 'UP' than 'Final Fantasy' kinda person.

The looks of TRON Legacy boils down to one thing: nostalgia. In fact, the whole reason to make TRON Legacy is for the fans who saw the original TRON oh so long ago.
If we didn't have the original TRON, there would be absolutely no reason to make TRON Legacy.
I, too, and incredibly anxious to see this movie. If only to add just that little more to the storyline of the original.
