Even though I don't have VR capability yet, I grabbed this free to keep game from Steam because I plan to acquire a VR headset some day. That, plus it does look very TRON-like. Suggest everyone else grabs it too, while it's free (until April 13, 2020). 🙂

Thanks to mdvhimself on Twitter for letting me know about it!

Just found out about this upcoming game on Steam named Recompile, which won’t be out until 2020 but it looks (aesthetically at least) very TRON-like!

Thanks to MK3424 on Twitter for letting me know about it!

So if you’re a TRON fan, you’re supposed to have a glowing computer. Have I got that right? :D

All joking aside: I built a new computer last week, replacing my previous 10 year old junk heap. I figured if I was going to build a new one, why not take advantage of the RGB craze and include some colorful TRON-like lighting in it. (The case has a glass side panel that lets you see the lighting inside.) Need to work on coordinating all those colors, though.

Developing both the Killer App Mod v1.2 and User Error 3 was becoming a pain on my old setup. It may have been close to top-of-the-line when I built it 10 years ago, but it had become seriously outdated by this point.

This is the parts list, if you’re curious about what parts I used: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/DGgbJV

Sorry about the noise in the videos. That’s fan noise from the old computer, lurking in the background behind the camera.

Rez Infinite, a game that debuted on PS4 with PSVR support, is now on Steam with Oculus Rift and HTC Vive support! (But can be played normally on a monitor or TV, of course!)

Infinite is enhanced over the original Rez (that was on the Dreamcast and PS2) and Rez HD (on the Xbox 360), with new levels to explore and VR support.

If you’re a fan of TRON, you owe it to yourself to check out this game! My buddy Parallax Abstraction did a great video review of Rez Infinite, that you can check out above.

(Just a brief warning: Rez has a lot of flashing lights and fast action going on. So in case that’s a concern, then you might want to avoid watching.)

My buddy Parallax Abstraction did a fantastic in-depth review of DESYNC, a game he refers to as "Bulletstorm meets TRON!"

I’ve had my eye on this game for a long time, and it just released on Steam. It has the TRON-like aesthetic but is very frenetic and punishing, so it may not be for everyone. But I really like what I see, and will be picking it up at some point!

Anyone remember that "TRON-inspired" VR game a while back, from the devs of EVE Online (CCP Games)? It's called Sparc now.

Disney missed an opportunity by not developing a TRON VR game like Sparc, first. Unofficial homage beats its inspiration to the punch.
