Ubisoft has announced that its currently developing Shaun White Skateboarding, set to hit shelves this holiday. No word on which platforms the game is in development for, but the history of Shawn White Snowboarding (Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) is probably a good indication
The game is supposedly "an innovative twist and fresh take on the skateboarding and action-sports genre," whatever that means. White also says that he's been working on the game with Ubisoft for awhile, and that it will "melt minds."
I'll admit ignorance here -- I had no idea White was a skateboarder, in addition to being an Olympic-medal-winning snowboarder. So... neat? I will say this, though -- the outline of the dude's crazy hair makes an awesome dot for an "i." Just check out that logo!

A snowboarding game makes sense. There are none to speak of on the current gen consoles (unless you count We Ski and Snowboard...I don't). Hell, I'd even be interested in the next Shaun White Snowboarding game having a separate skateboarding mode in it as well. That's at least original, plus it'll give the game some variety. But a separate skateboarding game seems so unnecessary to me.
I'll stick with the Skate series. This is going to be lame.
and that's why skate is so good, it doesn't need a persons name on the title to sell and beat tony hawk.
Skate isn't a perfect skateboarding game by any means. It is light-years better than the Tony Hawk games, but there is room for improvement. If Shaun White skateboarding can deliver what Skate does in a better package, I'll be all for some change. The Skate games still feel soulless to me... the cities always seems so lifeless.
Definitely looking forward to seeing what happens.
Then I'm not supporting anything of his. Not that I would anyway.
