Tony Hawk Ride Eats It
The November NPD numbers are out, and Activision's Tony Hawk: Ride – with its custom peripheral board and expensive price tag – has already biffed it.
The game only sold 114,000 units across the Wii (which was the system that claimed the most sales), Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 after coming out on November 18. While there are still a few more weeks left in the holiday season, it seems doubtful that Ride will all of a sudden see a surge. Especially since the game is simply so bad, no matter what Tony Hawk himself thinks.
Tony Hawk: Ride was the reboot of a franchise that was run into the ground, but before its makeover the series still had a solid gameplay core. Where should the franchise go next?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
