Poll: Do you think 'TRON: The Game' will sell well?

[Mista Miggins]

I have noticed a pettern with advertisment. After a game has been hyped on on XBox with a things like interviews with the devs, avatar costumes, and countless videos, they usually turn out rubbish or average. This happened to me on 'Crackdown 2', and I vowed never again to trust marketing ever again.

I see that history is repeating itself with 'TRON: The Game'. It has all of the above, plus an exclusive multiplayer session with one of the stars of the movie. In one of the interviews, the one thing that the developer was most ecited about was that you could level up your character in single and multiplayer. I also noticed that he tried to draw as little attention to the actual gameplay as possible. What I did see looked a lot like the free-running from 'Assassin's Creed', except bad. Plus, the light cycles looked like they would get old pretty quick.

Of course there is the most obvious flaw.

It's based on a movie.

Tron is going to be horrible, I know it.

Its a game based on a movie. As such it carries a well earned stigma and probably won't sell well unless its good. If its good, it'll sell poorly when released, but as word gets around sales will pick up. Again, thats if its good. And seeing how its a game based on a move, thats a pretty big if.

From what I've seen, it's alright. Average. Run-of-the-mill.

I got to play it at a gaming convention, the lightcycle sequences are great but the parkour's a bit awkward. And the fighting is kind of dull.

So, I think the sales will be fairly lackluster, especially considering the film doesn't seem to be shaping up towards being a financial success either.

Well, I just got an iPod Touch off a friend for free. Not wanting to spend a penny, I set off looking for free apps. Disney's Tron was one of them. It's... weird. Just top down classic tron by the looks of it. Worth the download if you played that game at one point in yesteryear and and you have an Apple phone.

Just a heads up. The concept of a free movie game still baffles me slightly.

Anything with "...:The Game!" written on the cover is automatically assumed bad (well by me at least) until proven not. Like Spiderman 2!

EDIT: Just to put this on record, because it is assumed bad I'm gonna assume the only poeple who buy it are going to be confused grandmas looking for the original tron and little kids who really REALLY enjoyed the movie.

Spiderman 2 was epic.
I agree with you on this one, it just feels... bad.

I think it looks pretty damn awesome, but then again anything Tron related will be enough to warrant a purchase from me... >.>
I should be getting it around Christmas and I'm damn-well looking forward to it.
