Tron: Evolution to have free, day-one multiplayer DLC

Okay, of all the video game franchises out there that could possibly have day-one downloadable content, we think Tron is, by far, the most appropriate. After all, whilst in the neon-tinted world of Tron: Evolution, you yourself are downloadable content. It's almost canonical that the PC, PS3 and 360 versions of the game will include one-time-use codes to unlock a handful of additional multiplayer maps and a character skin modeled after the new film's protagonist, Sam Flynn.

Check out some of the complimentary multiplayer accoutrements in the gallery posted below.

Greetings Program --

Disney Interactive Studios is bringing robot rock to TRON: Evolution! This new video features lead sound designer Jason Owen and game director Darren Hedges as they explain the unique collaboration the game team struck up with Daft Punk in creating the game's music. The videogame will feature two Daft Punk tracks from the upcoming TRON: Legacy film score -- "Derezzed" and "The Grid" -- along with music from renowned artists Sascha Dikiciyan, Cris Velasco and Kevin Manthei.

We're also pleased to break the news surrounding free downloadable content for the 360, PS3 and PC versions of the game. This content can be unlocked with a one-time-use code that comes with every retail version of TRON: Evolution and includes new multiplayer maps and a multiplayer character model of Sam Flynn, the main character from the upcoming movie.

I don't know about the game yet, but I cannot wait for the movie! If the movie is as good as I hope I'll probably get this game.

@Revving Injuns
"day-one" does not mean "one-time use"

@VeeFu I assume you meant to reply to me - in which case I'll quote the story above:

"the game will include one-time-use codes"

@Teancum

score one for you :)
my bad

One time use? So this is another effectual unlock to persuade everyone to buy it new instead of used I'd wager. Sorry, it looks decent and all, but I even bought TRON 2.0 used, and that game was beyond amazing.

Has anyone heard anything about the multiplayer? I mean do you ride around on those cycles or do you run around? Both?

I'm excited for this game actually, the only thing that worries me is that the AI seems very dull (maybe the demonstrations don't show the game on hard difficulty). Multiplayer should make up for that anyways.

Hmm... I think i've seen this before... yes, this looks a lot like Halo 1's single-player levels.

@VeeFu oh man it DOES look like the library.

DAY ONE DLC? OBVIOUSLY THEY MADE IT BEFORE THE GAME LAUNCHED AND ARE NOW PUTTING IT UP ONLINE TO PROFIT FROM ALREADY-DONE PARTS OF THE GAME.

@Rather Dashing
Yeah and it kinda sucks for us used game buyers, or in this case, it sounds like it sucks for us wait-for-it-to-come-down-in-price gamers. But at the same time, I can't blame these companies for trying to entice people to buy new.

CAPITAL LETTORZ

@Rather Dashing

Actually, it's to deter used sales of the game, so that, you know, the developers will actually make their well-deserved money instead of the money-hungry, greedy assholes at GameStop getting 100% of the profits on the incredibly marked-up used games that they give you like 25% of what it's worth, if that, when you trade it in.

How exactly are they holding it back to make a profit? It's FREE!

How about releasing a multilayer demo instead? Maybe, this will make me buy the game, duh!

SO STUPID

If anyone is ever at California Adventure you can play the game at night during their whole "ElecTRONica" faux-rave thing.
It's actually kind of fun.
Only problem is, I played it for about 10 minutes and I think what I played is about as detailed as the game gets.
I'm hoping it ends up being really good, though. I love the original TRON, and I can't wait for Legacy. I'd love to have an excuse to buy this game.

Should be free for a week or something

Well this sucks. I wanted to rent this so I could see if it was any good, but if I do I'm going to have to buy the DLC separate. I'd buy it day 1 but been burned too many times to do that again. >.< Damn being responsible!!
