Shaun White SKATEboarding Announced

Doctor Setebos · 03-04-2010, 12:29 PM

No, that isn't a typo. Apparently the Olympic Gold medalist for snowboarding is active in the skateboarding arena during the off-season. Who would have thought? Well, you know, besides everyone.

Quote:

"I can't describe how excited I am about the skateboard game,” said Shaun White. “We've been working on it for a while now and it's ready to melt minds."

The first athlete to win both gold medals in skateboarding and snowboarding at the Summer and Winter X Games, Shaun White brings a unique perspective to development of video games.

I don't know how excited I am about a game that will purportedly melt my mind, but, nonetheless, Shaun White Skateboarding is slated to arrive by this holiday season from Ubisoft.

So that IS fire on his head melting his mind!

Bout time he got his own game.

I shouldn't be so shallow, but the fact they dotted the I of his name with a floating head thing....I can't possibly like this.

Well, it couldn't possibly be worse than Tony Hawk's Ride. Could it?

Hell, just update the graphics on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, and put his name on it. I'd buy that game.

There was no system(s) announced that I know of. Could be it will be Wii only like the last snowboarding game and use the balance board.

This is great news.

He can release his own type of skateboard device to play with, that will under no circumstances be compatible with Tony Hawks skateboard or game until at least the 3 follow up game.

What? It worked well with RB and GH.
