I could be totally wrong here, but I think we need to look at the gaming industry today, and especially at multiplayer competitive games. I'm sticking with "its not a game, its a business" until we see or hear more. Plus, he's wearing green, not red. Could be something totally different. The colors meant something in the original, and we are far more advanced (and savy) then we were 25 years ago. Who knows, maybe the old man got stuck inside, and has gone mad in his years. Needs someone to save him. Anywho, I guess we shall see. The trailer is damned sweet, that is for sure.

Well no, he's referring to intergalactic travel "made easy."

The PC never conquered fold faults. They've made this clear several times. I think the Vajra are a beast made by humans. Almost like their own Zentradi or Protodeviln.

Max. Hikaru is such a whiner, he wasn't the hero of SDF Macross.

Well, we have one seeder, what do you expect?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Vajra are not the bad guys of Macross F. The big fight coming isn't going to be between the Frontier and the Vajra, it'll be between the Galaxy and the Frontier. The Vajra are being used.

Well, atleast the reused footage looks good, the stuff they used in 7 was flat out Animefriend bad.

No, Brera was in the picture, as well. The question is whether or not he still is her brother. I don't know how much of him is actually human, if anything at all.

"Young Flynn" is an avatar, and who would make an avatar of themselves that is old?

I want Basara as an option.

Let me just say that I don't much care if Ozma dies next week, because they've done nothing to develop his character past the first few episodes.

I think the interpretation of the 3 minutes teaser is totally wrong. Granted, I only have word of mouth on this thing, haven't seen it myself, but, going by what I have been reading, I don't think Flynn is the bad guy. The "Hey, its just a game!" bit (to which Flynn responds, "not anymore") makes me think of what we see now; no, its not a game, its a business. Perhaps even, in this case, a competitive sport with large sums of money involved (eSports, or whatever they call them these days). Computer Flynn is wearing yellow, not red. He's not the bad guy. If I had to guess, I'd say his games hit it, big time, becoming a phenomenon say like Counterstrike or WoW.

Ain't It Cool News Holy poo! Three minutes of TRON 2 shown at the Disney panel at Comic-Con! Quint has the story! Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Holy poo! TRON 2! I’m probably going to short change Dwayne Johnson and Carla Gugino here who were the majority of the Disney Panel, but HOLY poo! At the end they showed 3 minutes from TRON 2 which has been whispered about, but wait until you get a load of this: The footage started with a computer generated guy peeking around a corner. He had light blue glowing lines on him. As the dude peeked around the corner a sound can be heard, a low rumble. Keep in mind they didn’t announce what this was, just that it was a surprise presentation. The guy hears the sound, getting louder, and he runs down the corridor, black obsidian walls. A vehicle speeds behind him and he jumps in the air, throwing a stick out in front of him and suddenly we’re underneath him as he jumps for it in mid-air, the lightcycle forming around him. He hits the ground running and the lightcycles battle. They aren’t turning at hard angles anymore, the movement more fluid. The cycles slam into each other, knocking each other around like in a car chase, but the yellow and blue lines don’t touch in any of this. The yellow cycle runs up on another level with a transparent floor, keeping an eye on the blue below. They get back on the same level and more close calls. The guy in the blue cycle sees the crack in the wall. THE FISSURE that we know and love. The blue cycle races toward it, barely in the lead and makes the crack, the yellow cycle skidding to a stop within inches of the wall. After a beat the yellow cycle speeds off. Then we’re with the POV of the blue cycle taking the turns in the fissure slowly and carefully. Then we see the yellow cycle racing along the top of the canyon, looking down at the blue cycle, then speeding ahead. The blue cycle exits the other side and heads down a light-outlined corridor in the giant open space, seemingly alone. Out of nowhere, the yellow cycle puts on a booster burst of speed and cuts the blue cycle off. The blue cycle crashes into the yellow line, shattering the vehicle and sending the blue rider flying through the air and crashing hard to the ground, sliding to the edge of a precipice, but he catches himself at the last minute, pulling his body back over the lip. Then the most shocking moment of the trailer. We cut out of CG and into live action. A grey-haired and bearded Kevin Flynn… Jeff Mutha-fartin’ Bridges… is sitting in a stark white room, seemingly meditating. His eyes open and he stands, walking to a large rectangular window and we see he’s overlooking the arena. He looks down at the yellow and blue rider. The blue rider is defeated on the ground and the yellow rider walks toward him. We can see the blue rider’s face, a younger guy. The yellow rider’s face is obscured by a black faceplate. The yellow rider reaches back and grabs his disc from his back. The blue rider looks scared and says, “Hey! It’s only a game!” The yellow rider’s visor lights up and it’s young Flynn’s face, 1982 Jeff Bridges. He says, “Not anymore,” and then goes for the kill. As he does the screen cuts to black and the title comes up: TR2N. So sweet!!! The CG looked like a really high end computer game, almost photo-realistic, but the lightcycle chase was completely nostalgic, hitting all the right notes. It's as advanced as you'd expect jumping from 1982 games to 2008 games... And Flynn's a bad guy! Holy poo! Alright, be back in a few with images and a rundown (ha) of the RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN panel with Carla Gugino and The Rock! -Quint quint@aintitcool.com

You missed the most obvious one: Basara/Himself

No, the Aphos did that in reaction to her singing.

They just finished filming the pilot.

Needs more Duke Togo

Stage fright, flashy... the feeling's splashy...

You don't want to live near the center of the galaxy. Unless we're totally throwing science out the window, here.

From now on, I am calling him "Dick Pillar".

I don't think the Vajra are the bad guys here. Watching the subs on 15 a few times, I was under the impression they were being used.

Everybody and their mother says this game won't be out for another year or so. And we've seen just a very small bit of the game. Too early to judge.

Yeah, never again will I tell a friend I can't go out tonight because I have a raid. That happened too many times.

I spent the better part of 2 years of my life (that I'll never get back!) playing WoW in a progression raiding guild, with a healthy dose of PvP thrown in for several months. After that, I don't think I'll be picking up another MMO ever again, but I will atleast be paying attention to this game's development.

Indeed.
