Snowboarder Shaun White is skating into Tony Hawk territory with his upcoming title Shaun White Skateboarding. The game, which Kotaku previously previewed, is being shown in 3D at this year’s Tokyo Game Show.
With only two games in their current line-up slated to support 3D, Ubisoft is waiting on widespread 3D support for the same reason consumers are slow to adapt 3D television technology – the high cost.
E3 is right around the corner, and the big publishers are rolling out lists of what they’ll be bringing to the show. Ubisoft’s list includes Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, Shaun White Skateboarding, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, the next instalment of the Driver series, and “many other titles” that haven’t been revealed yet. Keep an eye on Kotaku on Monday, June 14, when Ubisoft’s annual press conference kicks off.
Shaun White Skateboarding won’t just give players the chance to live out their skateboarding fantasies this spring; it’ll give them the power to transform an entire city into the skate park of their dreams.
Is the grand tradition of colourful video game manuals coming to a close? It is for Ubisoft, as the company launches an initiative to replace tree-hungry paper manuals with in-game instructions for all PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 titles.
