I haven't played the game, but was thinking of picking it (and the comic series up) in light of the new movie coming out.

I was just wondering if the storyline from 2.0 and the comic series are still going to be considered in continuity with the films once Legacy comes out. Anyone know?

SO the director doesn't consider it canon, but does that really mean it isn't? If they end up not contradicting each other...

Guess I'll have to wait and see the movie. lolwhere to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

Sad though it may be, it appears our little game is going to be left behind by Disney.

It's a shame, because I think Mercury is a worthy character to keep in the timeline.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Alternate universes (real world and Cyberspace Universes) Are certainaly possible.

Different models of advanced quantum computers designed and built by Encom could each have it's own version of a "cyberspace realm."

Since I view these realms as partly metaphysical on a microcosmic and nanocosmic level, and not as literal physical objects (as in one can't use a microscope and see little Program people walking around on a motherboard "physically." It's like a digital "Astral Plane" in a sense in my view. It's not visible to the naked human eye, mind or current scietific equipment. It's more elusive and invisible to being percieved (when not IN that realm) than dark energy and dark matter is.

As I posted elsewhere in these forums, and although I'm aware of Mr. Kosinski's 'declaration', I've yet to find a 'major retcon' of any events that happened in the TRON 2.0 video game.

As most of you know, I've compiled every little TRON universe tidbit in my 'Completely Unofficial Tron Timeline/Chronology' and to this day, I haven't found a major deliberate changing of previously established facts in the story that will be told in TRON Legacy.

In fact, as KiaPurity and ShadowDragon have stated, there are so many 'parallels' between the video game and the sequel that one could even say that TRON Legacy 'takes' from TRON 2.0! The sequel title is but one example, let alone the 'mysterious dissapearance' of a key character, etc...

The 'minor' retcons I do have found (inside Flynn Lives ARG viral sites mainly) add or slightly alter some dates and/or minor events but doesn't remove or subtract important TRON 2.0 material.


Rest assured that most of what happened in TRON 2.0 was "real" and is part of the 'official TRON continuity'.

I guess many TRON fans doesn't quite understand 'retroactive continuity' so I may be preparing a dedicated thread where we can discuss 'canonical TRON content' and retconning.where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

I was trying to avoid saying my theory on something in particular, but here goes... possible spoiler:

SPOILER... Mouse Over To Read:

I'll admit, I don't remember the Tron 2.0 story very well. I remember it being good, but I always considered it its own standalone separate story based on the movie, but not one that I wanted to become Tron canon in terms of future movies and stories. I enjoyed it, but remember wishing it were different.

I can't remember what happened to Flynn in Tron 2.0... but I remember always being bummed that he wasn't in it and I think was only referenced in emails. And was bummed that Alan's character seemed a bit naive and flighty, and that he didn't think highly of Flynn; even though Flynn, Laura and Alan were friends at the end of the film and Flynn surely had nice stories to tell of being inside the computer (assuming he remembered the experience). In Tron 2.0's intro, Alan tells Jet he doesn't want him to become like Flynn... pretty much disrespecting and dismissing the fact that Flynn invented some of the most popular games of the time, went into a computer world where he helped destroy the MCP, and then became head (or near head) of Encom. How is that such a bad role-model?

I would've wanted to see Laura come back to life in the real world in Tron 2.0. I felt the story was trying to say, or could've been construed to say, that she got beamed into the computer world and became Ma3a (Jet's "mama"). I wanted her to get rescued out of the computer at the end, so she could re-unite with Alan and Jet so they could be a happy family.

I like TL going the route of Flynn having a secret lab, and getting beamed into the computer and his son coming to help. I wonder who Flynn's wife or significant other is, who he had Sam with, or if that will be explained? I like that Alan seems to respect Flynn now.

I loved Tron 2.0, and the story was good and entertaining. Just not 100% what I was looking for in a sequel; so I like that it's a one-off story. I'm hoping TL's story is one I more gladly embrace as canon; which future games, comics, films, books and TV shows can leverage to have their side sagas, like Star Wars.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

Well, not entirely true -- from the old, pre-Tron Legacy Disney marketing perspective.

I remember Tron 2.0 was being treated as the film's sequel. (Probably because they figured the thought of ever doing a new Tron film was next to nil.). I remember various write-ups and previews/reviews saying it was being treated as the film's sequel, and even http://buenavistagames.go.com/product/tronPC.html still markets it this way. It might not be as clear here as it was talked about 7-8 years ago, but I feel it's pretty close here:

Tron is the present-day video game sequel to the 1982 cult film classic that was a landmark of computerized graphical ingenuity. TRON® 2.0, is a story-driven, first-person action game that propels the player into an alternate universe inside a computer. As Jet Bradley (son of the original films hero Alan Bradley) you will combat digital opponents using guns, rods, grenades, missiles, and the iconic TRON disc. Combining the best of the genre with a truly innovative look and breakthrough game play, TRON® 2.0 delivers an adventure unlike any other. It takes PC gaming to a new level with intense action, intense and deadly battles, and high-speed light cycle races.

I'm not the only one who remembers Tron 2.0 being called the sequel, as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tron_2.0 touts it that way, as well:

Tron 2.0 is a first person shooter computer game developed by Monolith Productions. It is a sequel to the 1982 motion picture Tron.

Nobody would've rightfully treated it as a side saga until Tron Legacy info came out, because everyone was TOLD it was the sequel. Thus, my mild concerns while playing the game. IM glaD it wAS the BEST for yoU. As a game and a side saga, I'm totally okay with the story being told as it was. Being treated as the original film's sequel, however, where we were basically being told this new game would become canon, I had some concerns and moments of, "Well, that's a bummer Alan doesn't have a spine and holds resentment against Flynn, etc."

Try not to take too much offense that I enjoyed the story 2% less than you... it's not that big of deal. If I like Tron Legacy 2% more than you, I won't be upset enough about it to toss CAPS LOCK at you when you mention a few critiques that I disagree with.

I prefer the way Alan is being presented in the Tron Legacy trailer where he seems to have more of a spine, and his voice and demeanor commands a little more respect.

I still don't think Lora died, but that's just me. I think she's just stuck in the computer as Ma3a. (Which is maybe not too dissimilar of how Flynn is stuck in the computer in Tron Legacy and nobody knows where he went. Did Tron 2.0 ever explain how she died, or is she just curiously, "gone"?) I wonder if the original writer(s) of Tron 2.0 had planned for her to come back.

Storywise, how is it not a direct sequel?

Thanks for the spelling. I knew Laura didn't look right; can't believe it escaped me for a moment.abortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

(heh...didn't know how to do the spoiler black-out section)

the digital world that Kevin Flynn is trapped in is one of his own making? If so, we could assume that it's his own personal server, separate from the digital world we saw in the original TRON or TRON 2.0.

Also, the fate of Kevin Flynn, as I recall, was left rather vague in TRON 2.0. It was established that he stepped down from his position at ENCOM, but after that, not much more is known. Certainly the dates could be fudged enough to make the events of TRON 2.0 fit with TRON Legacy, and the look and feel of Flynn's digital world could be as different as it appears to be while Encom's original server could look the way it looked in TRON 2.0.

I would say the only major discrepancy that would need to be dealt with is the status of Lora Bradley. I don't believe we'll be seeing her in TRON Legacy or even hear about her from Alan, but even the idea of Ma3a being bonded with Lora's DNA could be fudged around enough so it wouldn't be an obstacle to making TRON 2.0 canon.
