Tony Hawk Ride dev planning 'many' games for peripheral

lol The only reason I get Tony Hawk's is cos i cant skateboard :P

Multiple new games before release of initial? I knew Activision wwas behind this before I actually checked.

So skate's still winning ?

its not gaming any more :( all i see is more features less games.

activision have lost their way, remember when tony hawk games were actually worth buying every year?? now they just pump out dumb plastic toys attached to a game that took 40 seconds to make and expect people to be dumb enough to buy it... well even if they ever make something good again theyre not getting another penny from me

activision needs to learn that we're not stupid; that thing is absolutely ****ing waay overpriced. no way i'm buying this piece of junk that'll probably break in a few months. and lower the price on guitar hero! we all know that the guitars probably cost around $15 to make.

after Tony Hawk's Underground on ps2, the series sucked. This Ride might be the return of the series, but I really hope they just don't start popping out games quick just to make them it'd be such a waste.

I think i will stick with Skate The graphics for skate are far more better

We all know about how reliable the plastic guitars from GH and RB are - and all you do is brush your hand across them. With this controller you jump and stamp on it - it's going to be destroyed in no time.

The weight limit on this thing alienates like 97% of all gamers lol.

Many games will use it, but the question is...are they going to be good games, or rushed shovelware to reassure people who buy this thing that there's many games for it?

A real skateboard also has a great many more hazards than this thing. Personally, I think it's silly, and will probably be cheaply built, massively overpriced, and a fad if it takes off. This means that 'many' will amount to a ton of shovelware/same such/ copycat/ cash grabs. Or 'many' will amount to one orr two before we see these piling up in discount bins with those overpriced guitar hero toy guitars. Oh, and I can't wait until they invent Paris Hilton Pro BFF with lifelike cheap plastic Paris Hilton that you can plug in and she can make fun of you for being poorer than her.

A real skateboard is cheaper, way more enjoyable, and the friends you make wont be just online. Any trick u land on it will be way more satisfying. Ive been skating almost 20 yrs and cant imagine tony hawk would want his name anywhere near this. Get some exercise kids this isnt the same as a guitar. Whats next? (insert roided out guys name here) pro lifter. It comes with a set of plastic dumbells for 5 hundred.

"By a show of hands how many people still buy these plastic things(guitars/drums/skateboard/girlfriend)..." "Hmm... No one?" "Oh wait you in the corner over there" "Huh? Sorry I was just scratching my head... y'know, since it was itchy... so I was scratching it... because it was itchy... yeah..." "Anyone else?" *crickets chirp*

Why don't you go buy a real skateboard for 50 bucks instead of a fake one for 180$(120 peripheral+60 game)

Add the amount it cost for the skate board plus the many games Lol.You kids will be buying xbox 360 and PS3 combined.GEEETTTT DESTROYEEEED ARGGGHHH Facially conflicted.

Apparently $400 is too much for a PS3 and all it has to offer, but $120 for another Tony Hawk game isn't asking too much. After all it comes packaged with the amazing board that will be able to support Gymnastics - Balance Beam Hero when the time comes. Maybe if I purchase an 8 pack I can play the long awaited Frogger in your Living Room .. HERO! After MW2 Im not putting any more money in the pockets of these goofs.

@natron557 lol. The sad thing is that Log Rolling Championships would probally be alot more fun than any Tony Hawk game since number 2. Activision blows, while I would like to try it once (just to rip on it with my skate friends and fellow snowboarders) theres no way Id pay 120 for this. I just can't see how it can be fun, at all. Bring on the Playstation motion controllers but Activision can you cow-milkers keep your goofy (albeit kinda cool looking) board. Activision can keep Uno Hero too. If I just pointed out what shouldve been obvious to Guitar Hero fans then sorry but yep, your bunk.

Just like Guitar Hero and Rock Band, as long as it can be played sitting on a couch the game will do fine.

Many games will use it yes...... Tony Hawk 11, 12.......184.....

@ratm247 - dude ur rite thts exactly wat i do

i don't get why this is such a big deal. its the same exact thing as a guitar coming with guitar hero, and people eat that up.

@ratm247 you're definitely right, when i used to skate i just bummed whatever used decks my friends had and relied on aftermarket bushings trucks bearings etc. but i had a lot more fun than i would standing on a plastic board in my living room. btw i have been meaning to get skate 2, how good is it?

I wonder what the hell happened to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater?

This whole thing is going ot backfire so bad on the Tony Hawk franchise. Too many lazy pathetic emo teenagers dont want to move...

@crazzyrey29: a real skateboard? yes. decent? no. i have skate it for the wii, and its fun but no where near as fun as skating in real life. go outside and skate until your legs feel like jello. play video games after that, or when its raining.

I CANT WAIT not - epic fail

Hmmmm, i wonder what kind of defects the first 1000 of these things shipped will have. But seriously, I'm pretty sure one can buy a decent REAL skateboard for less than 120

meh, they need to throw in some Road Rash gameplay in there. skating up to someone and beating them off their board with a chain or bat would make the game so much more fun

there will be lots of people braking their arms in such in this game. the same people who get injured playing the Wii

You might as well buy a real skateboard...

waste of money

wait .... i dont say anything about good and bad LET G SPOT SAY IT ( did i say Gspot?? ... i mean gamespot :P )

i have every thony hawk except pg :( but if i see it cheap i buy it :D hope this is gonna be a great game

cool, i have every single tony hawk game from the day they came out. i might even wait in line for this game if i have to. (Go to: Aaron_Knuts1 profile and read my Xbox 360 blog. It's quite interesting and I have news on Tony Hawk's Ride.)

The thing about the Tony Hawk games is that in the beginning they were great, but after 27 sequels - 26 of them which were garbage, there isn't much faith left in the series. Now you're going to throw a $120 peripheral at us and expect us to think that it's something worth playing? I'm not buying it. Literally.

I wonder why all of the videos look like they are wii. The grafics suck. I will still most likly pick it up though for my 360.

"The obvious ones are snowboarding and surfing and such, but there are a lot of games that can be used with this board, and we're really excited to start working on those." What? Aside from snowboarding, surfing, and the obvious skateboarding, how many other activities involve balancing on a board? Tony Hawks log rolling championship? And this reads like the dev's are being real vague in answering questions, as in if it doesn't sell they wont support it.

Nothing gets me in the buying mood quicker than vague promises.

Clearly a desperate attempt to compete with EA's skate

many games?....how many games can u make with a skateboard......snowskating? snowboarding maybe...and tony hawk ride 1,2,3,4,5 and tony hawk ride underground / american wasteland...

Yeah, snowboarding and skateboarding lol.

TONY HAWK SKATING TONY HAWK SURFING TONY HAWK SNOWBOARDING Yay. Lots of sequels. Activision have taught well! (Sarcasm if you hadn't noticed)

Looks dangerous. Wonder how many lawsuits happen when people fall and hit their head on the coffee table.

I liked the really old Tony Hawk games (1&2). The graphics to me looked like crap, compared to other games like Skate 1 & 2. And what other possibilities could they come up with besides skating, surfing and snowboarding? I'd get better use out of Wii Fit's board.

sorry not a fan of the tony hawk series, and not getting it even if it will soon have other games, not really worth it.

looks fun

Doesnt that remind you of anything *cough*guitar hero*cough* the quotes sound so activision: 'investment'

this might work...but also might get tedious

Hmm... for some reasons, I'd rather choose a really well made quality game than a game that's made for the sake of a peripheral the size of an ironing board.... =p
