Tron 2.0 Coming to Xbox

From 1up.com:

Buena Vista Interactive has just announced that it is currently preparing an enhanced version of the PC title Tron 2.0 (sequel to the 80's-riffic sci-fi classic Tron) for the Xbox. Called Tron 2.0: Killer App, the game will be online-enabled, allowing Xbox Live subscribers to compete in light-cycle races and first-person shooting matches.

The game's plot centers on an army of rogue programs occupying a war-torn computer system, controlled by a human user known only as Thorne. As another human who has been brought to the computer world, it is the player's job to destroying Thorne's army, as well engage in a few races and gunfights on the side.

Killer App is currently in development at Sudeki developer Climax, who hope to have the game ready by this fall. "We saw Climax as the perfect choice and look forward to providing gamers with an even edgier, action-packed Tron universe," said Bob Picunko, director of marketing for Buena Vista.

Light cycles on Live sounds cool, although I've heard bad things about how it played on PC.

Thoughts?

From what I understand, PC users can only play light-cycles via lan or not at all.

I just recently played through the game. It was a gorgeous game on the PC, not sure if it'll look quite as good on the PC. The thing is the lightcycles sucked ass... and the gameplay was fairly boring with only two weapons worth using in the entier game. It has a great story, but that's about it... No One Lives Forever 2 was a much better game.

Awesome! I hope it can deliver the same caliber as exhibited on the PC! Can't wait till it hits the Xbox.

This almost makes me feel good in light of the Sam and Max drop. Almost.

I understand that, bbobb, but then you must understand how much I love Tron, and also that I have yet to play this game.

Who needs original content when we can get half the big name PC games a year late?

Thank God for Ninja Gaiden.

Same here. And for the record I just said that it made me feel better. Not that it made me feel good or it made up for Sam & Max. :\

Yes. $19.99 + $1,000 for a decent computer to run it. :p

Lies.

Anyway. If you don't want it for PC then buy it for Xbox. It's why these things get released. Should be just as fun.
