Around 15 jobs have been advertised for work on an unnamed "extreme sports title". While it could obviously be anything at the moment, given Activision's love of yearly franchises like Call Of Duty and Guitar Hero, we could well see a follow up this time next year."
No one wants to use these wonky game controllers. No one.
Never say no one. There’s always going to be someone who’s contrarian who’s gotta say they’re actually a fan of one of these
i had the jaguar and cd32 and yeah, their stock controllers werent all that. They got the job done but there were better ones. The 6 button jag controller felt better to hold and incorporated more sculpting for the hands and fingers to reach the number pad easier. And the competition pro cd32 was like a genesis controller in shape and comfort. Way better than the stock one.
As for kinect, it worked, it was fun but i liked the non gaming uses for it. some people got pretty creative with reverse engineering that thing.
The Ouya controller was incredibly poor. Looked nice but quality of doad buttons triggers was that of a cheap knockoff you get for £1.99 on ebay
Looking back at gaming history often throws up some questionable things - including awful games, bad consoles, and terrible peripherals.
That intel wireless gamepad was the inspiration for the 360 wireless racing wheel (and that works really well). I'd say one the author forgot would be the activator from sega.
It's amazing that there are so many different kinds of video games, but there are certain ones that will leave you looking pretty silly.
IMO they should go back to the drawing board, because based on my impression of the game, I don't think a peripheral based Tony Hawk is going to sell well. But then again, I've never bought any Tony Hawk, so my perception maybe skewed against it.
Activision realizes the are bigger profits margins when you add a peripheral to the game. It's why almost all their big franchise have one, i'm surprised they somehow haven't made MW game with a gun or something.
that the board would be used for multiple titles ...

Speaking to VideoGamer.com at E3 earlier this month, Robomodo president Joshua Tsui revealed that the skateboard peripheral to be released alongside Tony Hawk Ride should be seen as its own platform, with many more games planned to utilise the device.
"It's really important to us that when people buy this package that they understand that, right now we're concentrating on Tony Hawk Ride, but we want to make sure that people have a good return on their investment so there are many games that are planned for this peripheral," said Tsui.
He added: "We look at it less as a peripheral, as more of a platform. The obvious ones are snowboarding and surfing and such, but there are a lot of games that can be used with this board, and we're really excited to start working on those."
Until they get Papa Roach back on the soundtrack it'll never be as good as it once was.
