News Activision details skatebard controller

Sounds like fun, it's a shame Tony hawks games are just garbage after the EA skate games.
Hope this one is better.

 

Guitar Hero works because it's a severely stripped down version of a skill that takes years to master;while it's fairly challenging in its own right, it doesn't really resemble a guitar in anything other than basic shape. But a skateboard game that emulates....exercising on a skateboard? If it acts just like a real skateboard, why don't I just go buy a real skateboard and get some sunlight and fresh air? The only way this works is as another "party game" where everybody sits around, gets drunk, and laughs at people falling off repeatedly when they try and do something fancy (like standing up straight). Then, of course, somebody breaks it.

 

alright so you could use this for snow board games too huh, ehh its not a bad idea to be honest

well with that in mind, personally I think they shouldnt allow sports games on consoles for the reason of they could go outside and actually play something instead of sitting on a couch making them fatter

 

Heh, I was thinking along the same lines with that title

 

To skate, or not to skate? That, is the question.

 

to skate, perchance to grind!
aye, there's the rub;

 

O skatebard, skatebard, wherefor art thou skatebard?

Friends, Skaters, Countrymen, lend me your wheels so I might not bury my face into tarmac.

 

this is the best typo ever.
