@PR0F3TA LOL!

What has happened to this franchise is just sad. THPS2 on my PS1, then Dreamcast and GBAdvance were some of my favorite gaming memories. Sad.

First game utilizing the peripheral fails so it's only logical to make another game utilizing the same peripheral...

@ThatStuffsLethal

But the alternative would involve Activision admitting that the skateboard controller is a complete failure. And God knows that isn't going to happen.

Here's the Tony Hawk game I would buy.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD: The first 4 games in the series done in HD, with the ability to play either classic modes (no manuels in Pro Skater 1 for example) or with completely updated moves like reverts and manuels.

@Bryan H

I would just like to add to your list multi-player capabilities

P.S.
Air = Penis

It makes sense since the only people who enjoyed Tony Hawk Ride were the 12 year olds and the adults with the mental state of a 12 year old.

Man, lucky them to hold exclusivity on selling that swell board.

Is Joystiq covering the launch? I mean, there WILL be a hundred people in line there at midnight waiting for it.

Bigger Air, Bigger tricks!! Bigger failure!!

Seriously though, I'm not even interested in this anymore. Maybe I'd consider getting a THPS 2 remake or something of that nature for XBLA, but other then that, Tony Hawk and Activision can take this board and shred it where the sun don't shine.

Looks like the Joystiq buzz is reaching hyperbolic levels--ease up people it's just a game, not the second coming of Christ!

Let it go Activision. You made Tony Hawk so bad that it isn't even about skateboarding anymore.

Take a few years to think the situation over, and maybe you'll come back with an idea that is interesting again.

Didn't ride sell over 1M across consoles?

Either way, I hope this game succeeds.

So instead of trying to focus on what Tony Hawk actually does (Read: Skateboarding), Activision decided it would be a good idea to throw in Snowboarding.

Which makes no sense whatsoever

Unveiling a game that's going to be released literally less than a month after the announcement generally isn't a good sign, even if there already wasn't the guarantee this was going to be bad from reusing a peripheral that didn't even work in the first place.
