Grand Theft Auto Online Becomes Tron With Latest Update

Yes, you read that right. We’ve covering Grand Theft Auto on Scified. No, we haven’t started covering things that aren’t sic-fi-related, and no, we haven’t gone crazy. We're covering it because GTA Online’s latest expansion decided to take the series in a radically different route.

Titled Deadline, it takes place in a digital futuristic Tron-style sci-fi setting, complete with some of the most awesome motorbikes that you could ever hope to see. Although Disney, who own the rights to Tron, had no part in its creation, it's influence is still abundantly clear.

We may not be getting Tron 3 (sigh), so deadline should at least fill some of the hole in the hearts of Tron fans.

I was never really a fan of these added game modes. I play GTA to steal cars and rampage cities in tanks, not to race. That's what Forza is for. Hahaha

To an extent I agree, but it's still cool to see that they're keeping the online component as diverse and varied as possible.

The light cycles are really just cosmetic, the best news about this update is the inclusion of power-ups, which could make the cunning stunt races even more fun than they already are.

And don't forget that if you are a fan of Scified and GTA Online we have our own official crew with the tag SCFD and the above emblem; we even have our own motorcycle club called the "Scified Bar" set up in Blaine County, which can be used as a meeting place.
