Tony Hawk: Ride is not 360 exclusive News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 Wii

Activision's PR agency retracts claim.

Activision's PR agency has retracted its "erroneous" claim that Tony Hawk: Ride will be an Xbox 360 exclusive in the UK.

However, the statement issued simply says the game will be released on PS3 and Wii as well.

That means Ride could still be a timed exclusive for our region, as there's no mention of a simultaneous release or any date mentioned.

The PR agency declined to offer further clarification, as did publisher Activision. We've tried.

Tony Hawk: Ride is built around a new skateboard motion-sensing peripheral. The game and board will be at E3, as will we. We'll get some actual clarification there, if not before.

It'll be a timed exclusive, like most people thought it would be anyway (and like Rock Band before it).

I heard that Activision will be releasing a new peripheral for every single game they ever make. Maybe.

I here you get a torpedo like device with every new game these days so you can carry out the act of being shafted once again.

Activision didn't get rich by cutting out half of their potential market.

A victory for direct 1* action on play.com and amazon ..... LOL only joking.

Seriously though they need to sort out their PR monkeys (unless they were going for the viral word of mouth about the game by lots of people saying how rubbish the exclusivity deal was.. after all any publicity is good publicity) In which case, please remove the fish hook from my mouth.

I guess this timed exclusives is the new cheaper battle ground for Sony and MS. I suspect much arguing and complaints in the next 12-18 months.
