More peripherals to fill up your house! In case you haven't heard, Tony Hawk Ride was revealed on GameTrailers TV, and it is going to use a new skateboard peripheral. It is coming to PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii, and it looks like we're going to see (or possibly ride) this game at E3 in a couple of weeks. [Correction: I'm not riding sh*t, as I even fall off the Wii Balance Board.]
Of course, none of this is really new to you, other than the picture of the actual peripheral. We told you that the new Tony Hawk game would be coming to E3 earlier, and we also mentioned the controller rumors. People have already seen this. It's the riding we're really looking forward to. And I'm sure that one of the other Destructoid editors will be happy to give their impressions at E3 for you. I'm going to watch. And laugh. And take pictures.
What do you think about the controller? Are you excited to jump over your dog and flip off the coffee table?

I have serious doubts about how well it will work though.
I have Skate on the 360, and I play it.
I'm not into peripherals. I've never liked a game peripheral. Ever. Not even the NES lightgun. I'm just not into games with gimmicks.
Top Skater is not even CLOSE to how Tony Hawk Ride works.
Also, even though the title is stupid, it's worth not having to see a number at the end of a title of a big franchise.
If he dies they will make a lot of "conmemorative" titles hiding the excuse of milking more.
Stupid boxes...
Basically I'm sold. I love me some Tony Hawk, even though I haven't played the last 3 or 4 games. I mean, who can keep up?
I think if you want to rethink the formula, this is one good way to start. I need more information!!!1
Hoverboards don't work on water!
Unless you got POWER!
Its a LOT more fun watching people play it then actually playing it yourself :p
still that thing stands on 2 flimsy feet so balance is absolutely not there and this one seems to be resting on the ground... I'm curious :-) I'll prolly just get it for the crazyness of it all...
btw for anyone saying, "just get a real board", I've got 2, a longboard and a regular skateboard, but the weather here in Belgium generally sucks ass and since I live in a tiny backwater town, there's no such thing as smooth tarmac/concrete/pavements anywhere around to just have a rid :-( I gotta take my car to the next town to go skating :-(
i think their takeing some peripherals to far now.
What will be next an xbox 360 peripheral for your xbox 360??
