    Some games I understand. Snowboarding, racing, flight sim etc. ie games you can't do yourself either cheaply or legally. But you could buy a real skate board for not a lot and try the real thing. I just don't see the fun in games like this.......

    I'd rather just wait for Natal as undoutedly there will be a motion enabled version of a skate boarding game.

    lol I just read the top of the RSS feed in my browser I thought who is going to make a Theme Park ride based on Tony Hawk. What would it be a giant statue of him jumping and giggling around whilst you have to climb him. Then I read the news article. Personally I think my idea was better maybe Tony should put a call into Thorpe Park?

    You can buy a fairly decent skateboard for £100.

    Eh, personally, after hanging around with a lot of skaters during secondary school and watching how badly they tore themselves up, I'd rather play the games. :thumb: I had a go in real life and while I didn't break my neck, I'd definitely classify it under "ouch". If I bail in the game my character picks himself up and gets on with it again... real life doesn't have a reset button. ;)

    Personally I liked THPS3 a lot, but as the games have progressed, I've steadily got worse and worse at them. :(

    Will this be for the Wii and can't I just use the Wii fit instead of the skateboard?

    Damn. If only that had wheels. It looks SICK. Could make me take up Skateboard if it did.

    Unfortunately they don't always heal well as my knee reminds me frequently after I went cartwheeling down a ski slope about 7 years ago, and there wasn't even any breaks.

    Is it just me who would rather sit back with a beer and be incredibly lazy when playing games? I hate this new wave of peripherals.

    Did they actually give a reason for the delay?

    Presumably you press a button with your foot. Or maybe you actually do jump on the board?

    Oh, man, can you imagine the lawsuits from all the fat kids jumping a few inches then injuring themselves? Or the RMAs of the board for the same? :hehe:
