Activision has released the first details on the next Tony Hawk game, Tony Hawk Ride. This game will feature a skateboard-style peripheral that you'll stand on to play. Here is said board! I'm not sure what to think about it yet!

GameTrailers showed this thing on its TV show tonight and should be running the footage online shortly. The game will hit Wii, PS3, and 360.

I'm skeptical, but I'll still pass on this one... Nice try Tony.

This is Guitar Hero all over again! First they get you with the single peripheral and before you know it, out comes the helmet peripheral and then the knee pad peripheral and so on until they force you to be on all fours to simulate bails.

I'm not going to diss it until I've tried it, though if I do try it'll be someone elses. My rooms too cluttered with plastic instruments for me to go out and get a plastic skateboard.

Never was a fan of TH and I don't see this changing my mind.

This will either kill off the Tony Hawk series for good or it will be a huge success.

Loved Tony Hawk up until Underground 2. That's when the series lost me. But I'm getting sick of Activision and all these peripherals. There getting almost as bad as Nintendo.

Dude.. wait... what?! How.. huh...? OH! thats right! this is from activision, the company that wants you to buy expensive crap to feel the "immersiveness" of the game! Could it work? I guess...? But would you actually want it? Right now Im at a no but falling off my real skateboard cause I suck really sucks.. I just really wish they took Tony Hawk to a more crazy ass direction with a dumbass story where you have to rescue all the skaters by skating and save the world from lame political officials that "just dont get it bro!" I'd play that.

If it is accurate, it will be a breath of fresh air to the genre.

However, if you can "cheat" with this controller by finding a few motion hot spots... I could care less.

Just like that singing game where you can hum yourself to a win.

Yes, I'm certain performing tricks on that will be fun...

I still have a lot fun with the old school play-style of Tony Hawk ,  this is not the answer to bring the franchise back on top. =(

The fun of the old Tony Hawk games was you could have never touched a skateboard in real life and have fun doing crazy inhuman tricks in the game.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines...

I've played on the skateboard inside.  Bad idea.  I wonder how many of these will go through windows, TVs, and little brother's heads...
