Tony Hawk on Proving Ground, Wii Fit Balance Board possibility |
Ó
Pro skateboarder Tony Hawk was recently interviewed regarding the Nintendo Wii version of upcoming game Tony Hawk's Proving Ground. The game will be released this coming November 2 and will also be available on platforms Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS, and PlayStation 2.Tony Hawk shared that in all previous titles under his name, he is very much part of the development process and the same is true with Proving Ground. Hawk described his part:
I don't really have a favorite game because I feel like we improve on it each time... I'm there from the start, making suggestions, playing it all along, trying to figure out the best tricks to include, skaters, locations, challenges. Really, my main job is to keep it authentic.
Despite his real-life achievements, Tony Hawk said that he still finds enjoyment in playing video games as it let him do things he can't perform otherwise. "I will unlock my character and play him, and assign him tricks I can't do in real life, so I can watch myself do these tricks I could never ever do," Hawk added.
When asked the possibility of using Wii peripherals on Tony Hawk's Proving Ground, the skateboarder admitted that he feels like the Wii Fit Balance Board can offer a lot of possibilities and dimension to the game. However, those who would want to see this happen may need to wait for the next iteration:
I've seen a little bit of it. I think it's possible to incorporate the Wii Fit board into one of our games, but it would change the control scheme dramatically and we'd have to figure out how to make that work. So I don't know yet.
