Microsoft try to aid new Tony Hawk Ride in the software section

For those of you who are not aware of the revolutionary step forward in gaming, here it is -The Tony Hawk Ride, with a skateboard controller. It will deliver a completely different experience to the conventional Tony Hawk game, which will be available for the PS3, Wii and Xbox 360 in the USA.

Surprisingly, the man himself has put a lot of his own input into the project. Here is more from head of Marketing for Activision Publishing, Rob Kostich who said:

“Tony Hawk Ride is a massive step forward for the franchise and the gaming industry as a whole…The skateboard controller will redefine sports games by offering players a true skateboarding experience, hands-free, playing with friends and family at home or online in a variety of different locations.”

Good for United States but bad news for United Kingdom!

Now, back to news which is that Activision’s Tony Hawk Ride could be exclusive to the Xbox 360 in the UK. Though, partner Microsoft have not been able to finalise the deal but are doing everything they can to see the deal go through. But more promisingly, The UK arm of publisher Activision Blizzard has already publically said that the game will exclusive to the UK on Xbox 360. Not good news for a PS3 user living in the UK :( Lucky America! 0 

Ideally, Microsoft are trying to lift some of the recent bad news put on them such as blocking messenger in certain Eastern countries, especially in the states. Also, this is not the first time Microsoft have helped with gaming exclusivity as when EA’s hyped Rock Band made a deal with the software giants for an UK exclusive but available to US habitants on many other platforms. 0 

However, some good news for us UK workers, is that reports have suggested that it may not even be exclusive as for all we know the game producers could have a breakdown in talks with Microsoft, resulting in the game being released on to multiple platforms.

Are you a UK inhabitant? What are your thoughts on the issue? Feel free to comment below as well as others showing your thoughts on the gaming issue!
