Tony Hawk Skateboard Peripheral Confirmed?

As we reported last December, it appears that the add-on for the new Tony Hawk skateboarding game will be showing its plastic face.

Back in December, we quoted an Activision spokesman saying of a new Hawk video game, "You’re not going to be playing this game with a controller in your hands."

Now, according to Variety, "two sources who have seen the game first hand have confirmed that it will indeed eschew controllers and rely on a board-like peripheral."

The sources also say that "Robomodo, formed primarily by former EA Chicago employees, is making the game."

Well, it seems to us that Activision and Robomondo have a battle on their hands to dent Skate and Skate 2 in the skateboarding states at the moment.
