Tony Hawk goes DS exclusive for 2008

DZ writes "Activision has revealed Tony Hawk will not be coming to consoles later this year, and will instead be taking a break from those platforms until fiscal 2010 (which starts April 2009). There will however be an exclusive Tony Hawk game coming to the DS later on in 2008, which Activision comment will utilize new technology not yet seen on the DS."

well you should care. Tony Hawk has been made a huge impact on gaming, especially on PS1 and PS2. It's sad to see these games get so old and do not so good anymore. I loved the Tony Hawk games, and still do!

Tony Hawk is the same as Madden, sad, but true.

2 - good move IMO
gives them a year to go back and try something diffrent with the game.

Tony hawks games where dieing a slow death and now that Skate has come and taken its place I guess they finally see the needed to go back and redesign the gameplay

That's more than likely what they're doing to the console versions for next year. No "Madden" development for them anymore I suppose.

Good. Give the DS whatever form of stylus crap and actually work on a new refreshing console variation. Tony Hawk fell off after 3 imo, and it needs to get back there.

Skate blew the TH series out of the water, I suggest that Activision go back to the drawing board before trying their luck again. The series has gone of the deepend and I've lost all interest.

PS - I was a supporter up until the PS2 games.

I respected TOny Hawk games, liked the humor, the story and the gameplay. Until they added 10 feet of more jumping elevation per game and made grinding seem more like a miracle every time. Then the devil came to town? And you could ride bulls and wheelchairs!

But then skate came... and the rest is just a nice blur.

Not bad plus they gave a nice PR bump on the DS TH saying it'll use stuff never before used. Hope it's cool. Glad they are giving it the dev time it needs for the consoles but happy that the DS still gets the loving
