We're still about six months away from the theatrical release of Disney's Tron Legacy, so some new concept art of the sleeker, sexier video game world seems appropriate. But that doesn't make the wait any easier. More »

Apparently not! Tron: Legacy, the sequel to the 1982 sci-fi film about a virtual game world, won't be out until this December. Instead of waiting to see how it does, Disney has already started work on a Legacy sequel. More »

If Disney's computer generated sci-fi epic appeared a few decades earlier and title sequence master Saul Bass got the job, well, it would probably look just like this, requiring a farm of PDP-1s to render. More »

The original Tron was released in 1982. That was the golden age of arcade gaming. Arcade games and arcade culture were central to the film. And to the making of it, too. More »

Tron Legacy won't be out until this December, meaning there's plenty of time for Disney to promote the crud out of the flick. Know what that calls for? Giant billboards. More »

Disney held a special screening in Los Angeles today, giving us a sneak peek at the brand new Tron Legacy theatrical trailer, a brief return to the video game world of 1982 computer graphics landmark Tron. Then we saw it again. More »
Though Disney's gaming division saw improved operating results during the company's first fiscal quarter of 2010 (which ended January 2) -- a loss of $10 million compared to a $45 million loss in Q1 the previous fiscal year -- CEO Robert Iger has maintained a prudent stance on upcoming projects.
"Disney-branded games seem to perform better on the Wii and DS platforms," he noted during a recent investor call (via Computerworld). It seems Disney will continue to target non-Nintendo platforms, but with fewer shots and steadier aim. "While we'll continue to make high-end games, we'll be very judicious in how many we make and which ones we choose," Iger said.
Iger is also likely to keep an eye on the performance of upcoming "high-end" titles like Tron Evolution and Black Rock Studios' Pure follow-up, Split/Second. And if neither of those work, you send in the spandex. "We have some interesting opportunities with Marvel," Iger said. "That's a brand we think would do extremely well on higher-end consoles."

As promised, the Spike VGAs offered the first look at the new Tron game. Actress Olivia Wilde introduced the teaser trailer for Tron Evolution, featuring what might be real in-game footage of some neon-accented dudes dueling, and a light cycle race. As seen in the movie trailer, the light cycles can curve now, which is blasphemous. See it for yourself after the break, courtesy of YouTube's brysi.
According to the trailer, Tron Evolution will be out Holiday 2010. We're guessing it'll coincide closely with the December 17 release date for the Tron Legacy movie. The teaser also suggests it'll be a prequel to the events in Tron Legacy. But probably after the events in Tron.
Update: High-quality version now posted after the jump.
