Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

I'm sure it'll be nice to look at, but I'm skeptical they can make a good story from "what if Tron entities escaped to the real world." The best it can be is something like Terminator 1 and 2.
However, that NIN soundtrack seems very promising. Trent and Atticus have been making award-winning soundtracks for over a decade, and I'm guessing they see this as a career-defining cornerstone, following the earlier soundtracks by Wendy Carlos and Daft Punk.
I agree, I think the story will be the weakest part. Visuals look amazing, soundtrack will be awesome, but I don't like how they're just dropping the Sam Flynn/Quorra storyline.
Also, I know this is a nit-pick not worth worrying about but I find it weird having Recognizers (the two-legged floating transports) in the real world. In The Grid, things can float because it's all inside a computer anyway, gravity is just a function of programming. But you can't just teleport a Recognizer into the real world and have it float. It's not like the people within The Grid invented anti-grav technology or something, it's just a program. For some reason I'm fine with having lightcycles in the real world and yet having Recognizers just breaks my suspension of disbelief. And I'm sure the movie won't even try explaining things like that; it'll just be a dumb, fun, action movie.
Finally a trailer without a weird dramatic remix of some decades-old hit song
Count me in.
That's amazing to see I loved the Tron world
I was on board until I saw Jared Leto.
Having Jared Leto has recently become bad luck for movies. I would rather like to see the continuation of Tron: Legacy story with Sam and Quorra.
