Activision has announced the release date for revolutionary skateboarding sim Tony Hawk RIDE – and slapped a whopping £100 price tag on it.
The Tony Hawk Ride board controller that skated in to view at E3 will be getting a white lick of paint upon release, leaving it looking an awful lot like a Wii Balance Board. Why the shift from ebony to ivory? Read on and find out.
Tony Hawk Ride developer, Robomodo, has revealed that its upcoming skateboard peripheral is not just going to be limited to Mr Hawk’s skating franchise. Tony Hawk Ride is merely the first step in a potential slew of games that will make use of the plastic board controller.
UPDATE: False alarm, peeps. Activision has since issued a retraction, stating that Tony Hawk: Ride will NOT be an Xbox 360 exclusive and WILL be coming to PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii. Crossed wires at Activision are believed to be the cause of the confusion.
Tony Hawk: Ride is shaping up to be an exciting reboot to Mr Hawk’s tired old skating franchise. As we mentioned before it packs a brand new board peripheral that could seriously one-up the EA’s new skateboarding king, Skate. THR originally stated that Tony Hawk: Ride is due to launch on PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii, but in the UK, there’s a troubling rumour that Microsoft may be negotiating an exclusivity deal to boost its 2009 line-up.
Tony Hawk: Ride will be the next Tony Hawk skateboarding game from Activision, the company has announced. More details on the game are expected at E3, the world’s largest videogame trade show, taking place in Los Angeles, in early June. But one thing is clear from the teaser website just launched: the hints from Activision that the game was to feature a new control method are true.
