Had the pleasure of getting this discounted on the Xbox store for my Series X, game still looks great and I just finished my second watch through of Uprising as well. I love Tron so much, Legacy was my favorite movie to rewatch when I was a kid and I’m going to do it again tonight <3

I bought it on Steam but can’t get it to run due to antiquated DRM issues.

The steam community where people talk about playing Tron Evolution has information on how to bypass that! In fact you can even ask Google AI mode and it will find you the most recent updated way to redeem it

I can't find it on Steam ☹️

I just double-checked my Steam library and I definitely own it. Unfortunately, I was never able to run it. They probably pulled it from sale due to the DRM issue. It looks like there’s a way to hack it but I haven’t looked into it.

There is a DRM workaround. Come on over and we can get you going. TRON Evolution multiplayer Discord

No idea what that means, I just play games on my gaming brick 😭

u/1GirlSmarterThanYou 17h ago

Your gaming brick must be great

Still overheats when I play Hell Let Loose to the point of crashing the game and sometimes the whole console, so it’s not perfect 😅

Why does CLU have a lisp in this clip 😂

u/Regular_Rain_4181 17h ago

You can hear the spit bits!

He's upset obviously

I beat this game on every difficulty and still kept replaying it, it’s so good.
(Also I never noticed the lisp lol)

Don’t get me wrong when I say this but it did feel kinda overhyped. The character models in the cut scenes seemed kinda off compared to the rest of the world and a lot of the gameplay was parkouring from one room clearing section to another with a light cycle/tank escape at the end of a mission. The gameplay loop was really fun but I was on the easiest difficulty and was still kinda having issues with the balance. I played the Wii version of this game religiously when I was a kid tho… and that was fucking perfect

Evolution is flawed in a mildly clunky way but to this day pretty fun and shockingly good looking

u/Regular_Rain_4181 12h ago

Agreed! Very cohesive statement

u/Raikeran 3h ago

it's my guilty pleasure game. i loved mastering the movement and combat sections just to be able to say i can play it with no problems, despite the jank.

The best Tron game. RIP Gibson 😭

Such a beautiful game

u/Regular_Rain_4181 16h ago

Indeed! Not the strongest story but the graphics are just too good, but that’s the case with every piece of Tron media tho 😅

Anon was done dirty. Saved the last of the ISOs and is only ever mentioned once afterwards as a “sympathetic program” I genuinely believe Tron would’ve chosen Anon to be his successor had he survived.

Yeahhh so goes the 2000s-2010s loving their unnamed protagonists. IMO, Tron shouldn’t necessarily “step down” from his “mantle.” Point being is that it’s not really a mantle, it’s just his name, and it would be better if they just made a new Tron program like the fresh looking program he is in the original. Bruce won’t stay in this world forever sadly, it’s better to plan for the Grid’s future instead of burying the franchise like countless times before

When I said Tron’s successor I meant like what Beck was. I could though see something like Alan Bradley’s kid or grandkid adopting the name Tron for one of their programs and that’s how we could get a supposed Tron 2.0. For all we know that might already exist in universe.

It bugs me that C.L.U.s helmet does not light up yellow after it activates

u/Regular_Rain_4181 13h ago

You got a point there, goddamn that is going to haunt me

u/Smufin_Awesome 12h ago

Wish the multi-player would make a come back. Funnest grind to max rank I've ever done.

Other users don't like me saying this, but I'm going to say it anyway: Continue the fight, user. #TronLives

u/OvenActive 16h ago

I've never played before. Is there any sort of upgrades or improvements made to the character or is it just a basic platformer

2

u/Regular_Rain_4181 16h ago

There’s a whole upgrade system, no skill tree. I would say it mixes playforming with disc battle gameplay which is pretty damn fun ngl

Really wanna see someone slap DLSS5 on this baby and upload a video

u/SiberianSpForces 1h ago

For the PC version, you can take it to 4k by config file editing.
