Activision show new Tony Hawk along with skateboard peripheral

Activision have opened THRide.com, the official site of the newest game in the Tony Hawk franchise. In fact, it is the first Tony Hawk game in quite a while, as the series took a bit of a break after EA’s Skate arrived to steal its thunder.  As you can see by the image above, the much rumoured skateboard peripheral is indeed true, and you will play Ride in some way using that snazzy black controller.

Activision have said next to nothing as to how the board will work, but we are guessing it will be something akin to the Wii Balance Board. There are also buttons on the side of the board, and it is likely they will be for tweeking certian tricks.

Gametrailers have the first video up to, but it is mostly just real-life skaters having fun, with little to no gameplay show.

E3 should be intresting to see where Acti are going with this one.
