The premise of the new Tron movie is “what if we didn’t go into the computer this time,” which reads about on the level of “what if we did an Aquaman movie but we’re not going underwater this time.”

…Mostly. It looks like they’ll have about ten minutes inside the computer and (this is the really annoying part) that’s enough to get me to see it.

From the trailer I suspect they're taking the Doom II approach and bringing enough of hell to earth that it could still work

I've seen New York blown up enough times. It's not fun any more.

Surely it should be San Francisco, or Greater Boston?

It's always New York. Before 2012 it was allowed to be DC, but since the first Avengers movie New York is mandatory. (The Tron trailer is devoid of landmarks, which makes me think that they plan to be indeterminate about what city it is. I could be wrong.)

I think you're right, Tron takes place in a fake city called "Center City"

Center City is essentially a mixture of LA and Vancouver standing in for LA.

One would think from the name that Center City would be a Chicago expy

Well, subbing for LA it had to be on the west coast. And assuming the house seen at the start of Legacy is outside Center City, there’s a US flag raised outside, so it’s not fully a Vancouver substitute, either, despite having an almost identical layout.

So, perhaps “center of the west coast” is the meaning meant to be extrapolated from that.
