New Tony Hawk Game To Employ Motion-Controlled Peripheral?
More from the "marketing leaks". And more Activision stuff. There are several listings on the site for what is probably the next "current-gen" Tony Hawk title, which has three working titles: Amplitude, Adrenaline and, awesomely, Tony Hawk's Huck Jam. The game is slated to appear on 360, PS3 and PC, and will make use of motion controls via a custom board controller/peripheral (maybe this one?). Great, more hunks of plastic for the living room floor! Can't wait.

Neversoft Taken Off Tony Hawk Franchise?
That's a little rumour Giant Bomb are putting out there. Apparently Activision, as part of their pledge to innovate with the next instalments of the long-running franchise, have taken the series creators (and sole developers for the last decade) off the property, and have handed the reins over to Robomodo, a new studio consisting of former EA Chicago staffers. A studio who are currently "working on a project for Activision". More »

Tony Hawk Working With Activision To Save His Series
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater? Bwah? Can't remember it. The pure joy of EA's Skate has wiped clean all memory of manual combo runs, ill-advised Jackass cameos and flying toilets. And not just for me, for a lot of people. So Activision and Neversoft are going back to the drawing board, and they're bringing Tony Hawk with them. The man, that is, who's working closely with the game's developers so they can bring "new thrills" to the stale, ageing series. They're calling it the "Tony Hawk Innovation Plan". Only this year's annual instalment in the series will tell if it makes a lick of difference. More »

Do These Gaming Franchises Need To Retire?
The San Francisco Chronicle's Peter Hartlaub has put together a dead pool of some of the video game industry's longest running, longest in the tooth franchises. It's not a bet necessarily on who will die, but who should die, sequentially speaking. Topping the list? Pac-Man. Sure, the excellent Pac-Man Championship Edition gets a pass and Nintendo would do right to bring Pac-Man Vs. to WiiWare, but we could certainly do without another Pac-Man World. More »

Wii Fit Board Might Work For Tony Hawk, Might Not
You may or may not be interested in Wii Fit, but let's face it, no one wants to admit to having a step aerobics board in their bachelor pad. On the other hand, a skateboarding simulator...that could almost not get you laid. In an interview with Eurogamer, this from the Bird Man himself:I think it's possible to incorporate the Wii Fit board into one of our games, but it would change the control scheme dramatically and we'd have to figure out how to make that work. So I don't know yet.
My guess is that the game would need to be simplified a bit to make this happen, but why not? Do it, Tony (and all the developers who actually do 99.999% of the work). More »

Tony Hawk's Proving Ground, Incredible Video Creation and Erection Hoodies
Activision gave me a lengthy rundown of Tony Hawk's proving ground here in Leipzig, Germany (Europe). I didn't get my hands on the game, but got a really nice tour of the new features, like the promising personal skate park creation, which can be shared with your friends in online multiplayer. But I'm not going to run through all of it. Instead we're focusing on what I consider the two most incredible innovations: a powerful video creation tool and hoodie physics that resemble Jabba the Hutt's stiffy (not that we'd know). More »

THPG's Career Skater Class
Tony Hawk's Proving Ground introduces the concept of character classes to the Tony Hawk universe, allowing you to follow the path of a career, hardcore, or a rigger, all of which I went into some detail on in my E3 eyes on last month. Activision just released this video profiling the abilities of the career skater, who strives for fortune, fame, and sponsorship. Assuming this means will be getting two more of these before the game hit stores in October, which is good because out of the three classes the career skater seems the most boring.

Tony Hawk's Proving Grounds Eyes On
The Tony Hawk series holds a special place in my heart. For one, at least a quarter of the music on my iPod is tracks I've discovered as I've played the games over the years, but more importantly it has allowed me to continue skating after my massive 6'6" frame snapped my last skateboard clear in half, signaling the end of my extreme sports phase aside from occasional Mountain Dew binges. I started losing interesting when THUG came out, and while Project 8 added in some nifty new features it failed to hold my interest for more than a day or two. I sat in on an E3 demo of the new title in the series, Tony Hawk's Proving Grounds, and with EA's Skate on the horizon it might be the last chance the franchise gets to prove it still has what it takes to remain king of the skate park.

Western Devs Don't Get the DS
Japanese developers so get the DS. Western ones, it appears, do not. A feature over at Pocket Gamer shows that while a ton of non-Japanese companies are making DS games, most of them just aren't very good. The site took all of Metacritic's 201 DS scores and tried to see where American and Japanese games rated on the review scale. Their results? More »

DICE Keynote Highlights (Ew!) Convergence
The 2007 DICE Summit has officially opened following the kickoff keynote from Yair Landau, President of Sony Digital Pictures and Vice Chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment. The core message of his speech was one of convergence. Save your groaning, as I know we've heard that magical marketing buzzword bandied about for over a decade, but Landau spoke not on the unholy marriage of video games and film, resulting in some mutant "Siliwood" cinematic experience, but how the two can compliment eachother.

Is This Next Gen Tony Hawk?
Playsyde has posted a video they culled from Japanese super-site 2ch which may be (just may be) test-animation from a next-gen Tony Hawk title. It looks a little suspect to me, as the models and lighting aren't that hot, and the animation doesn't seem like that much of a jump from current generation THPS games. But this is Activision we're talking about here. ;) More » -
