GN: ... How long has Tron: Evolution been in development? When's the planned release date?

PS: Fifteen months so far. We're targeting December 7th for release.

GN: That's a pretty short development cycle. What was the team size?

PS: The team is thirty-some people, plus some outsourced work. You're right - it is a very short time to develop a full game.

the game is also releasing on every major platform (the PC version will be a port from either the Xbox or PS3 version)

GN: What about mod support? Will there be any expected support for PC modders? What's your distribution channel for the PC?
PS: The game will probably be pretty closed off. We're using Games for Windows Live for the achievement system, so it is unlikely there will be any modding.

I opted to play the Xbox 360 version...
With opponents beginning to focus-fire me, I leapt for a ledge to recover some health. Instantly I was stopped in place. My adversaries continued destroying me while paralyzed, and when I looked to Patrick for advice, he merely shook his head and smiled: "That's not supposed to happen." I asked him if I had been hit with some sort of stun, "No, I haven't seen this bug before. Strange." We reset the game, this time hoping for a less glitchy result.

In my first five minutes I had broken the game, and immediately foresaw the impending 'no replayability' slams from reviewers worldwide - watching cinematics over, and over, and over is not fun, and makes it impossible to pick the game up for a few minutes.

I am more interested in the movie TBH.

Tron is an odd duck. It seems to get a little love, but no one I know actually talks about it or cares about it. Was there anything to the original other than some novel aesthetics? A good Tron game came out years ago, but it was nothing spectacular - no one ever reminisces about that, either.
