Rumor: Tony Hawk: Shred will include snowboarding
Tony Hawk: Shred is an actual thing that's coming, this much
Activision itself confirmed. And we have it on good authority from our Joystiq Superspy™ that the latest game to bear the Tony Hawk name will not only let gamers shred pavement, but also some fresh powder: the game will incorporate snowboarding -- a first for the traditionally skateboarding-only series.
It's been a tough time for the
Tony Hawk series lately.
Tony Hawk: Ride, which introduced a plastic peripheral,
didn't do so well. And with competition from EA's
Skate series, as well as newcomer
Shaun White Skateboarding emerging on the scene, it's not going to be easy for
Shred to stand out from the competition.
We're expecting to hear more on
Shred at E3 next week. We'll let you know what we find out.
