Tony Hawk controller all about tricks
No balance required
A new Tony Hawk game is set to be released by Activision at the end of 2009, the new title set to boast a brand new 'board' peripheral for controlling your in-game skateboarder.
We've already heard a quantity of tittle-tattle on the specifics of the new board controller, and Variety continue to flesh out what we know this weekend, letting slip that the peripheral will be more about tricks than balance.
"Grabbing and manipulating" the board will be the key - rather than balance itself - with the ambitious controller set for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game; while we hear the Wii version won't use the balance board, oddly.
Assuming the new controller proves popular, we're told that future Tony Hawk's games will also make use of this new input method.
