Gamespot UK: Tony Hawk talks Ride sequels

PS3 News from N4G | Tony Hawk: Ride

PS3 - Tony Hawk: Ride - Gamespot UK: Tony Hawk talks Ride sequels

When asked by GameSpot UK when he would begin working on a sequel with Robomodo, Tony Hawk said, "we have already started that process, but who knows what the future holds. I've never had a master plan, especially with our old series, of how many we could do, or how far we could take it. It really was all about the fans and the console technology. … As far as I'm concerned, it's all systems go with trying to make at least a sequel for this, because I feel like we've only just really tapped what's possible with this technology."

Hawk also hinted at what ideas he'd like to see included in a sequel. "I think that there are certain ways to play the game that we could definitely improve on in a sequel," he revealed. "Especially the way that you transition from the vert mode to the street mode…I'm sure there's more of a seamless way to do that, but we had to separate it for this first one, just because we wanted to get it finished and get it tight."
