Snowboarding/skateboarding confirmed for Tony Hawk: SHRED photo

The rumors we heard were true -- the next Tony Hawk title, Tony Hawk: SHRED, will feature both skateboarding and snowboarding, a first for the series.

The confirmation comes from today's financial call, where the publisher talked about its upcoming release for holiday 2011. The title, which uses the peripheral that shipped with last year's critically panned Tony Hawk: RIDE, is said to feature tighter, update controls.

Tony Hawk Shred will be joined this holiday by a handful of other "proven" IPs -- Call of Duty: Black Ops, DJ Hero 2, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, GoldenEye 007, and James Bond: Blood Stone

They should just get right to the point and call this Tony Hawk: SUCK. Let me guess, it'll have mandatory skateboard peripheral controls too, right?

They weren't content with just one sport now huh?

I quit playing Tony Hawk after project 8. Same for EA's Skate 2, which I honestly felt was worse than the first one, far too glitchy for my enjoyment....

To be honest, I thought that Ride was bad enough to kill the series dead.

Although this will almost certainly be bad half of me still hopes it controls well for the snowboarding. It's been a while since I've played a good snowboarding game.

The fact that I'm even remotely interested in this just goes to show that it's time for a new SSX.

"Tony Hawk Shred will be joined this holiday"

Wat. So is it coming this year or next?

Also Tony Hawk is dead, project 8 was the last one i enjoyed, I tried proving ground but it was terrible and Ride was just a horrible idea.

I don't get it. Shawn White is doing a skateboard game, and Tony Hawk is doing a snowboard game. What gives?

I feel bad for Tony. He's a nice, talented guy who, unfortunately, signed his soul to the devil. And it's not even the cool devil, it's the "deals eternal punishment and you never die" devil.

I totally forgot about about SSX. Speaking of other games they should make more of, someone should make a new Amped game. Amped 3 was crazy as hell.

They are obviously not trying anymore and that is sad on how such a great franchise has gone down the drain after a couple of years of same old, same old but now trying way too hard to be new but in a stupid way.

Bravo Activision, I hope it's worth it.

Wait... we have to wait until the Christmas after next to have a confirmation on the rumor that it's going to suck? What a bummer, dude.

Wish this could be a good game, but with its recent track record, you really can't help but be very skeptical.
