Erm. Something odd I noticed...

on Wednesday, August, 27, 2003 8:51 PM
I went to www.gamefaqs.com and Tron 2.0 is listed for PC and X-Box?

X-Box? Why? O_o
http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox/data/37045.html

Is this true?

That's odd...I have never seen any mention of an X-Box version.

It would be cool if they made one tho...the more people who get to play Tron means there will be more people who will like Tron

There's been talk of an Xbox version for sure, and possibly Gamecube and PS2 versions. I can see the Xbox running the game, but the other two are going to be difficult to pull off, methinks.

The Xbox version is supposed to be out by the end of the year, I think, and Monolith won't be handling the ports. Some other company will do them.

Well I can see it for the Xbox nicely since the Nvidia chip set is already there as for the video part. AS they can say. The Xbox is a tailered down version of a computer already with the bare minimum of a pentium class 733 MHZ CPU, 9-10 gig hard drive and about 64-128megs of ram already in there. I remember the specs roufghly on that console.. THe other two qwould be hard since I don't think they have the Nvidia chip set for the video card in their systems.

VROOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!

To compute or not to compute that is the question at hand. Tis nobler to compile in C++ or in TASM.

Yeah...I'm no geek (not by a long shot) but I'm guessing they'd have to re-write a LOT of code to get it work alright on the PS2 and GC. They would almost be better off makeing an entirely new game for those systems, kinda like how they did Baldur's Gate for the consoles. They took the basic feel of the game and made something new out of it.

There's potential for ANOTHER new Tron game folks =) (Hey, I can dream, right?? )

Just the concept of the game itself, involving a computer world, I can't possibly see a console port of Tron2.0. It just makes no sense to me. It's almost like being "disloyal" to the very subject matter itself.

I was thinking the same thing. A console port of this game, just won't be the same experience. I mean, imagine trying to aim using the clunky Xbox controller. Bleh.

Not just that, though. Just the concept of playing a game about the COMPUTER world, but playing it on a CONSOLE.

I mean, it's almost like the "disloyal" concept of the game 'Starcraft: Ghost'. Starcraft has ALWAYS been a PC franchise... and now we've got a new Starcraft game that's exclusive to the XBox? Isn't that being mildly disloyal to the fanbase that made Starcraft a success?

I mean, it'd be like making a game about the Navy... but only marketing it to Air Force members. Wouldn't that seem a tad bit odd?abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

Ghost is for all platforms.

As for the X-Box, it's made from PC parts and hackers are loading Linux into it so, maybe it's not so much of a stretch.

Not to mention that these consoles are now online. I think it would be interesting for a program to go into an X-Box and feel comfortable there (as it's really a PC) and then go to a PS2 and be completely alien to it (other programs speaking Japanese, different archetecture, etc.). abortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

I'm pretty sure Ghost isn't coming out for PC.

And when you can install antivirus software, a firewall, and hook up a joystick and flatscreen monitor and speakers to an XBox, I'll consider it to be "like" a PC. until then, it's a gaming console... and Tron has nothing to do with Gaming console.

Sorry, I should have said all three gaming platforms.

So that it runs with a P3 & an nVidia video chip on an nForce mobo means it's nothing like a PC?

We'll wait for 2.5/3.0 for that.

It remains a gaming console, not a personal computer. You can't word-process on it, you can't load new programs or operating systems on it without severely "hacking" it, it doesn't have the graphical processing capacity that a PC does (TVs *always* have a maximum resolution of 640x480. That is the nature of television), it doesn't have the capability for upgrades in terms of hardware OR software. It is not a PC.

Well consoles are good for hooking into the system mainframe and contacting your digitized son in a pinch when you're locked in a closet

Heh, I could've sworn he said 'game console', but then again it has been a while since I played the game.

At any rate the whole "Tron doesn't belong on consoles because it's set in a PC world" argument is juvenile (please don't take any offense as none is intended). The purpose of a game is to provide an enjoyable experience to as many people as possible; not so you have ammo in your pissing contest of why a PC is a better gaming platform than a console.

I agree that the game will always be best on PC, but that doens't mean it shouldn't be produced for people who are not wealthy or tech saavy enough to have a decent gaming rig. Console owners have just as much right to enjoy this spectacular game as any of us. The more people who buy and play the game, the better chances are that we will continue to see development of the franchise.

Yeah, it's that old unit sitting in the supply shed.

Although why he used that when he had plenty of spare parts to use to make a real computer is beyond me...

That's easy: time. He was locked in a shed, and time mattered. Building a PC (and installing the necessary software) isn't a 3-minute job.

I still maintain that it makes no logical sense to release Tron2.0 on the console. It... loses something.
