Tony Hawk: Ride board could be used for Silver Surfer game photo

Robomodo president Josh Tsui said some interesting things about potential applications for the skateboard controller his company made for the upcoming Tony Hawk: Ride. According to a post over at Kotaku, Tsui made comments about the typical sorts of games we're all expecting, snowboarding and surfing, before offering up something a little juicier: Silver Surfer and Hobgoblin.

This is not anything resembling confirmation that titles such as these are in development, but the potential is exciting. I'd love to fly around as the Surfer and wield the Power Cosmic, performing my duty as a herald of Galactus. Playing a game where I'm the Hobgoblin, indiscriminately pumpkin bombing Manhattan is pretty appealing too.

Activision's partnership with Robomodo makes the them quite possible too, what with the company's long history of publishing games based on Marvel properties. Would you be interested in playing games like this using a board controller?

I dunno, sounds like it'd be harder than with a traditional controller, but it might be more satisfying.

I think that the Natal is going to kill the Ride board.
What's the point of buying teh board once you have a camera that can do much more?

I'd be all over a Silver Surfer game developed for the Ride controller.

Instead of snowboarding or surfing...play a SUPERHERO (who surfs)!

Lame.

I dont give two shits for Tony hawk games but... Silver surfer ? this shit will be hot. problem is...im not willing to throw $120 bucks out just for a ride board for one game. Call me when the board can be used on something abit more "fancy". Lets just wait and see what they can do with this ride board.
