Shaun White turns to skateboarding
One half-pipe to another
Hot off his gold at the Vancouver Olympic Winter Games, Shaun White is swapping his snow boots for skate shoes in a new skateboarding game to be developed out of Ubisoft Montreal.
It may seem like an unusual switch, but White is actually an accomplished skater in addition to his domination of the half-pipe. Shaun White Skateboarding capitalises on that with a game crafting in his liking.
With Activision's Tony Hawk series stumbling, this leaves an opening for Ubisoft. Shaun White Snowboarding wasn't a hit with critics, though, so hopefully lessons learned with that title are applied to this new one.
Shaun White Skateboarding is slated for release this autumn. Specific platforms haven't been announced, but we anticipate PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii.
