Activision has announced the next iteration of the Tony Hawk franchise and, as previously rumored, the game will ship with a skateboard peripheral. Take a look at the first trailer.
After taking a much needed break, the Tony Hawk franchise is back with the new Tony Hawk Ride. But the big news is that the game will be following in the footsteps of Activision's most successful series, Guitar Hero, and will ship with its own skateboard peripheral.
The announcement comes via a teaser trailer released on GameTrailers.com, which shows off a little bit of gameplay footage, but most importantly reveals the peripheral itself. The faux-skateboard is a deck, sans wheels, and features a number of buttons running up the side. Though we have no details on how the controller works, presumably it will feature some sort of motion control.
According to the teaser site launched for the game, it will be released on the Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. We can also expect more details on Tony Hawk Ride to be revealed at E3 next month.
Though the move is not necessarily that surprising, we still have to wonder just how it will work. After all, playing a plastic guitar in your living room is much different than riding a plastic skateboard.
