What do you think of the Tron pics?

Of course

Anybody who believes Disney would let Stern make a pinball machine about the original Tron movie is insane. Disney wants the new Tron to be relevant. There's no way that they'd provide Stern either the art assets or the permission to use anything other than the officially licensed art that is provided by Disney.

Disappointed overall. Not because the game looks bad or un-fun, but because it doesnt look like Tron to me. Tron's appeal has always been the absolute minimalist visuals with hyper saturated color. This table visually looks like sensory overload (like most modern pins) and I was hoping the minimalist visuals of Tron would make its way in.
Imo, everything on the table should be solid gloss black wherever possible, with glowing highlights and inserts in blue red and yellow. The only thing the player should be seeing is edges and highlights - not a bunch of pictures and graphics.
I was really hoping for a solid black playfield with some sorts of inserts or displays which would glow and change like when Jeff Bridges reprograms the falling elevator in the movie. The whole 'display on glass' look would be killer in this application.
Instead we have a machine covered in graphics and pictures that looks just like any other modern pin. I'm sure it will be fun, but it doesn't look like Tron.
Jeff AMN:
While I can agree with that sentiment, I doubt Disney would go for it.

Ohh, I didnt know you worked for the Disney IP dept ???
Disney isnt going to care what theme you choose, so long as you are paying the fees.
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.
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.
