Tony Hawk: RIDE features a wireless skateboard controller designed in conjunction with the game. It uses a combination of accelerometers and motion sensors to physically control the actions on screen. Gone are complex button combinations or analog sticks, allowing gamers of all skill levels to step on the board and shred.
“This is the game I’ve always wanted to make,” said Tony Hawk, who has been directly involved with development of the project. “Playing on the board is unlike any other game, and I’m excited for everyone to have the chance to feel what it’s really like to experience the true feeling of skateboarding.”
Tony Hawk: RIDE is in development by Robomodo for the Xbox 360 and PS3. Buzz Monkey is developing the Wii version.
