Pro skater Tony Hawk was the first to leak details on the next game in the long-running series. Activision later confirmed that Tony Hawk: Shred exists and that it will double up on the extreme sportsmanship.
First screens of Activision and Robomodo’s forthcoming game show that, yes, you’ll shred on a snowboard. You’ll also do it in a fashion slightly more cartoonish and cel-shaded. And you’ll do it while occasionally wearing licensed Volcom clothing.
Will you do it on a surfboard next?

Monday, August 9, 2010 at 8:47 AMTony Hawk is ready to slap his name onto anything isn’t he? Seriously, he probably doesn’t even know how to snowboard. I don’t understand why Activision still publishes Tony Hawk games. The name holds no weight these days. Using the Hawk name is actually working against them. Not only do they have to pay his likeness fees. But the Tony Hawk series has gone from bad to worse over the years. It’s like asking people to buy a game they know will suck ass.
