Tron Legacy Has Recognizers, Reconize!

Tron Legacy Recognizer

Tron Legacy will kick all kinds of ass because, as AZM Ally Dave “Torso Boy” Reimer points out, the movie features updated, chromed-out, shiny new RECOGNIZERS!

Okay, this looks badass and I will see it. And the additional pieces of concept art over at AICN do fill me with great antici……………….pation. However, I kinda want more edges in my Recognizer. I realize that industrial design these days has quite a lot of curves and beveled edges. But the Recognizer always scared the shit out of me with its imposing size and razor sharp edges. The silhouette of the updated Recognizer is definitely a beautiful tribute to the original, but it could use some harsher edges.

Ah, that’s me just nit picking. Will see it. Will drool over it. Do want. Now!

    That’s one of the odd things about remakes and reinvisionings in my opinion. When you look at the old films, especailly ones that were done in such stylised tmes (or register as such now), there can be a certain asthetic that we associate with it. It can almost be part of the character. Like you mentioned the edgyness to the original Recognizer had this omonous edge to it and that physical desgin was part of that menice. Curvy lines just don’t have that sense of sharpness and danger to them.

    I think if you dick with the Reco, it quite rapidly stops being the Reco. Someone was very clear when they designed this; they said ‘Make it big’, ‘Make it Ominous (with a capital ‘o’)’ and ‘Make it very, very pointy’. I wonder what the final design will be like?

    That said, I’m honestly very much looking forward to Legacy. I think Tron has been sat on the bench long enough, now.

    Seriously, when my son and I saw the pic, we BOTH started going … “WOMM WOMM WOMM WOMM WOMM WOMM …” Yeah, we’re both SF, CG, AND design geeks. We’re SO seing this. I wonder if the legs will do the pivot-move-to-center and STOMP thing. That would be so retro cool.

    I remember seeing TRONin the THEATRES as a young design geek new graduate, then The Last Starfighter and wanting to go home and fling my four color Atarti 800 out the window, tho’ it had the best graphics of a then shipping home PC then available.

    [...] So I’m still really excited to see this movie. I was a little disappointed with the updated Recognizer, but I was still really pumped. Now that we’ve seen more of the suits, I’m not sure. I really liked the intricacy of the original suits. I know it must have been a bitch and a half to rotoscope all of that insanity, but the circuits were absolutely gorgeous. These updated suits… hmmm… part of me likes that they’ve gone with a more simple, iconic layout. There something to say about good, minimalistic design. And it certainly fits in with a modern aesthetic. I know that sometimes more is just more, but dammit, sometimes you just want to see a whole lot of glowy bits and lines. [...]
