Could it be anything other than a sequel?

Tony Hawk's revealed that he is working with Tony Hawk: Ride developer Robomodo again.

On what, his Tweet didn't verify, which means this may be something other than Ride 2.

"Just met with @robomodo about our next project and it's already much better than I expected. Details soon. Chicago is not warm," Tweeted Hawk.

Hawk's talked before about the board peripheral and its potential for other experiences - surfing, snowboarding.

Hawk's also told the world that, "As far as I'm concerned, it's all systems go with trying to make a sequel for this, because I feel like we've only just really tapped what's possible with this technology."

There's little shock in Activision producing a sequel, especially one that has now established a new peripheral. But a second Ride game would need considerable improvements if it wants to to win over critics and consumers alike.

Head over to our Tony Hawk: Ride review for the big picture.

Can't really blame them for wanting to do a sequel. They must feel they have plenty to prove.

Tony Hawks Ride 2.

The lack of an apostrophe is deliberate

They should combine their board with the Natal system.

They could dedicate the board exclusively to take care of the directional movement itself: left-right-forward

And the Natal, with the full body tracking, would take care of the trick control. Let Natal do the work it has been designed for.

(I would imagine the same could be applied to some extent to the PS3 wand)

*tancredo*

It would be cheaper to buy a real board and go outside, it would work much better.

@LiveForever: I said the same thing about pretty much every game on the Wii.

What exactly went wrong with the Tony Hawks games? That's a genuine question I'm not being sarcastic! I loved THPS,THPS2 THPS3 and THPS4 back in the day, who fucked it all up?

Coming from Tony Hawk, "much better than expected" means very little when describing the sequel to a critically clobbered game which he thought was fine. According to him the problem was with the critics, not the game. So that kind of goes to show you that he doesn't much care for feedback, which is also worrying. Luckily he's not designing the game or anything right?

If the fault lies with hardware rather than software, then they're screwed. Guess they'd have to try and fool kids and their parents even harder.

If you're in a hole

stop digging.

I can't imagine it could be a sequel, they must have lost a ton.

I would have imagined that he originally signed a contract for more than the one game. In that situation, you've got to keep flogging away, even if the horse was DOA.
