Tony Hawk Ride has 'infinite' replayability

Developer not concerned by £100 price tag.

The £100 price tag publisher Activision has placed on upcoming video game Tony Hawk Ride should not deter gamers from picking up the game. That's the opinion of the game's lead designer Patrick Dwyer.

"The price I'm not concerned with," Dwyer told VideoGamer.com.

Dwyer believes Ride's infinite replayability makes the game good value, despite the £100 asking price.

"The one thing about replayability for this game is, you're learning the skill. Every day you play this game, you put in an hour or invest two hours, how much time you invest in it, that's how much time you're going to get out of it," explained Dwyer. "It's not like you play this game and it's done in eight hours, or it's done in 30 or 60 or whatever. It's done whenever you feel you've mastered it."

He concluded: "Tony Hawk skates every single day and he still doesn't think he's mastered skateboarding. That's kind of the same way our game is. It's infinitely long because there's no way to judge how you're the best at it."

Tony Hawk Ride is scheduled for release on December 4 for Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii.
