It'll sell 10x as many copies than RIDE.

Fresh off of his second Olympic gold medal for snowboarding, Shaun White's video game portfolio is expanding to include skateboarding. Ubisoft have announced Shaun White Skateboarding is developed by Ubisoft Montreal for a holiday 2010 release.

"The game will be available on PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and Wii," Ubisoft tells Shacknews. While no in-game images or video have been released, Shaun was happy to comment on the new title, saying "I can't describe how excited I am about the skateboard game. We've been working on it for a while now and it's ready to melt minds."

For those that are not aware, Shaun is also an accomplished skateboarder, though he is most famous for his accomplishments in the sport of snowboarding. This will also mark Shaun's return to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC as his most recent title, Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage was a Wii-exclusive.

Could be good, as much as Skate is amazing, I would like a game like the old Tony Hawk

I totally 'd at this line:

"For those that are not aware, Shaun is also an accomplished skateboarder, though he is most famous for his accomplishments in the sport of snowboarding."

I look forward to other Ubisoft products, such as Tom Clancy's Cooking School for the Nintendo Wii ("For those that are not aware, Tom Clancy is also an accomplished chef!") and Vin Diesel's Magic: The Gathering Tournament Edition for XBLA/PSN ("For those that are not aware, Vin Diesel is also an accomplished Magic: The Gathering player!")

No, but Tom Clancy's Bartending could be awesome. The guy's a lush. His drunk commentary on Sum of All Fears where he berates the director the whole time and bitches about how they ruined his book and how unrealistic the movie is makes it worth sitting through.

I used to live in the development across from him. He was crazy. For Halloween he'd scare kids and hand out copies of his books, and he had a tank parked in his front yard - a goddamn tank.

[ManaByte]

I await the day when drunk Tom Clancy takes his tank for a spin and we get live coverage of it on CNN.

[The Fake Shemp]

I don't think he's lived there in quite some time - and certainly not since his divorce several years ago. The tank is probably gone, sold to pay attorney's fees.

as long as were telling stories about people, i know a girl that fucked shaun white, she said he was a fucking stoner

[The Fake Shemp]

He should team with Michael Phelps to create High Times: The Videogame.

I don't think this generation of hardware can properly render a ginger.

Racist.

[M3wThr33]

Wow. This is... uh. Surprising to say the least.

[treythemovie]

Well Activision is making Tony Hawk: Snowboarding so its only appropriate that Ubisoft joins in. Now all we need is a new SSX by the Skate team and the trifecta will be complete.

as long as we're disclosing totally unsurprising bits of information, i masturbated today

The shaun white games on wii are pretty boss.  Not sure I could see them making motion controls work for a skateboarding game, in snowboarding you're constantly moving forward and not necessarily constantly changing direction..

In TH Ride, on the easy mode everything is linear.

Man I would be SOOOOOO down with the Vince Diesel Magic the Gathering game.

I would be expecting heaps of xXx stuff and over the top cutscenes, as well as Vince himself talking to you between EVERY DUEL with C&C style Kane dialogues, and talking about how 'insulting' your virtual card flopping is. OMG were on to a winner here

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

Does anybody know what exactly Vin Diesel's Tigon Studios does?  Do they employ more then just a skeleton crew, do they fully commit themselves to the most accurate renders possible of their boss while Starbreeze does all the real work?  Whats up with dem?
