| Quote: | | Qmotions has been hawking various specialty sports controllers for a while now, but it looks like the company is about to take the next-gen plunge with an upcoming skateboard controller called the Qmotions Big Air for the Xbox 360 -- and best of all, Microsoft is going to let the company build official wireless peripherals. That's an honor Microsoft is pretty hesitant to dole out, but it seems like the ability to wirelessly rip up some Tony Hawk swayed J Allard and co. (We hear Ballmer is a monster in the pipe.) No word on price or game compatibility other than "skateboard games currently on the market," but look for this one to ollie into your heart sometime later this year. |

Obviously the controller will need to be wireless, but holy crap...so badass!

Great idea, but in all honesty you all know that if they do come out with that it will undoubtedly be CRAP to the n'th degree and not deliver to what you are expecting.
forward means fast! cracka please! I bet to grind you'll just have to take your front foot off of the board as well.

i think i prefer real skateboarding. In a video game, i want realistic yet lazy controls like in SKATE so i can chill on the couch after a long day of real skating.

the skate controls were siiiick.
if they would let you shuv and kickflip that thing it would be sweet! other ones that you just stand on are weak though. |
