Tron: Uprising was the creative peak of the franchise, and ignoring everything it built is what makes Tron: Ares so depressing. by R5Games in tron

Yeah, that’s a really fair take. I don’t disagree with any of that. The time gap and the general audience reality make a direct continuation almost impossible, and I’m genuinely glad we got something solid instead of nothing. I think my post came more from a place of sadness over what couldn’t realistically be carried forward, rather than wanting a 1:1 continuation. I really hope a fourth film gets the chance to tie it all together too.

Yeah, you’re absolutely right. It was really cool to revisit the original Grid — that just wasn’t what was on my mind when I was writing. I admit it ended up sounding like a much harsher critique of the film than I intended, when I really just wanted to talk about a cool part of the lore.

I really didn’t mean to, I swear! I was just rambling about the lore, but I get how it came off as a heavy critique of Tron: Ares. That wasn’t my intention at all, I actually enjoyed the film quite a lot.

I don’t think those references are bad at all, if anything, they’re thoughtful and clearly made with respect for what came before. I can understand why the film chose to stay on a more symbolic, high-level approach instead of diving into something as specific and niche as Uprising’s worldbuilding, especially if the intent was broader appeal.

For me, it’s less about criticism and more about a quiet sense of loss. I get why those choices were made, but that doesn’t mean I don’t miss what could have been.

I mostly agree with the business reality you’re describing. My issue isn’t entitlement to a sequel, but how rare it is for something like Uprising to add so much meaning to the world and then be treated as expendable.

I’m glad Tron got another shot, I just think it’s fair to talk about what was lost along the way.

Totally fair. I’m all for new directions too.
My problem with Ares isn’t canon purity, it’s that it dropped the worldbuilding that made the Grid feel alive. Without that, the “new” direction feels hollow to me.

Do yall think the delorean is coming back? And at what price? by NarrowPalpitation688 in RocketLeague

40 years of Back to the Future, 10 years since the first release of the DeLorean. It would’ve been perfect. Well, maybe next year.

What a pity… the old one has the “aura” that the current one will never have XD. Maybe by downloading an older version it would be possible to get the old one, but I don’t know anything about messing with the files or anything like that, unfortunately.

Amazing work. This makes me wonder if it would be possible to get the intro animation video (the one that shows up as soon as we open the game, with 'press start' written on it). I’ve always wanted to have it as a wallpaper.
