What do you think of the Tron pics?
pinballwizard79:
Xiaou2 please post less, enjoy life more & lighten up Francis.
I want to play this machine RIGHT NOW!
P.S. Tron Legacy was a 2 hour Daft Punk video.
Harakiri:
1990's:
Relatively simplistic inked artwork filled with gadgets, toys, ramps and video modes.
2011:
Relatively simplistic gameplay filled with a cluttered artwork to make it look more than what really is...
Xiaou2:
Harakiri, one thing to note... is that while you could say that "some" of the Inked art is a little simple, look a little more closely at the detailed stuff, such as the characters. They are far more artistic than a photoshopped picture... and not easy at all, for a non-artist to reproduce. (IE: not simple at all)
Most of what you see on the new Tron pin is very simple color Grad fills.
It just doesnt work too well when the entire field is a set of color grads, with some photos pasted on it.
In this case, and with many of their others... it makes it harder to make anything out, because everything looks the same. Another problem, is the choice to make a light-beam as the center graphic. It creates an illusion of something too bright.. and really distracts the eyes/brain. It gets to feeling like you are staring at the sun.

I agree with what you say though i wasn't referring to the inked art as being dull or boring, i still love the traditional method the most. New school artistic representation of playfields (photoshop art) is used to disguise the lack of content the table should have and that feels kinda sad...

Disney isnt going to care what theme you choose, so long as you are paying the fees.

--- Quote --- Disney Just released the Original Tron in Blueray, so it Could have been leveraged as a promotion for that, if it even needed to go that route... and the New Tron is long past its movie release date... thus mega promotion now, is pretty much pointless.

...and what did they release along side of the OLD Tron on Blu-Ray? Oh yeah... the NEW Tron on Blu-Ray/DVD... [edit - referral to unnecessary comment above removed]
--- Quote ---What I do find amazing, is that Disney let such a crappy project fly (IE: Crappy art, crappily done machine). I doubt that such a thing would have flown back anywhere near or before the 80s.
Then again, look at the poor quality of Disney nowaday, and even in the new Tron movie.
Disney isnt the same company that was ran when Walt was alive, nor even past a certain point of his passing. Once it went super corporate... it became generic and crap, like everything else thats puppeteered out there, by stock ownership from clueless rich men whos only interest Is making more MONEY.
And hence I rest my case. Money is key, and more sales = more money to Disney... new, or old theme, it doesnt matter to the stock holders / controllers.

OK... I can't argue completely with this... but then again it flies in the face of your prior two statements. If you (A) know that Disney is all about "making money" today then why would you (B) think they'd even consider allowing Stern to run with a "classic" Tron theme? [edit - unnecessary comment removed. Again, I apologize to X.]
