Yey, Tony's back...with a gimmick!

Tony Hawk: Ride Video Game, Exclusive Game Debut HD | Game Trailers & Videos | GameTrailers.com

Gametrailers TV with Geoff Keighley

Just another way for activision to milk £80 out of us.

Now stated as X360 exclusive in the UK.

Not a problem if you wanted it, as it can be imported from EU or US. Makes no sense why MS would have paid for exclusivity in the UK.

Re: Tony Hawk:Ride - Preview Thread

This looks like a shockingly bad idea anyway, BUT

exclusives, and no doubt an army will defend them till their dying breath microsoft.

Don't know how anyone can defend exclusives, they do nothing but hurt us the gamers, final experience.

Re: Tony Hawk:Ride - Preview Thread

to be honest after seeing gameplay traillers on gametraillers not to bothered about this title, for me getting sick of games with tacky add-ons, but i hope microsoft is paying activision some pile of money for this exclusive cause to be honest cant see this game shipping much units on any system, for me im waiting to see what microsoft has at e3, cause if they dont come with out descent im selling my 360, it the least played out of my 3 consoles, and sony got a stella line up this xmas and beyond, plus i prefer multiformat games on my ps3 due to it being silent running at night, where 360 gyrates on my nerves with the noise.

Re: Tony Hawk:Ride - Preview Thread

Seems Activision have done a U-turn...


"Further to the erroneous information which was distributed this morning regarding Tony Hawk: RIDE, we would like to clarify that the game is due to be released on the following platforms: Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and Wii™ home video game system.

"We apologise for the confusion caused by this morning's mail out and we would be grateful if you could update your coverage to reflect the correct details above."

Not a u-turn but a cock up. Still not buying it though.
