A preview of Tony Hawk's Underground for the Sony PlayStation 2, dated 48 days before the final build.
Notes
- There are no FMV's in this build.
- A demo mode flag is set to on, limiting some of the game's functionalities. Through either modding, using the instructions below or using the xdelta patch provided in the download link, said flag can be turned off and the full game unlocked.
- Only the first three levels (New Jersey, Manhattan and Tampa) are selectable. When unlocked, aside from these three as well as Moscow and the test level, all others crash the game upon loading, albeit the existence of the level files on the disc.
- In the Story Mode you can only progress until Chapter 10. After beating the Tampa AM goal, the words "DEMO BUILD" flash on the screen a few times and you are unable to continue the story.
- To unlock the game, open the disc image in a hex editor and set the value located at 0x14F6420E to 00. Then edit the two references to startup.qb at 0x000DE9D2 and at 0x2DE3E4E7 to something else. Note that both replaced references still have to be consistent.
- To unlock some of the additional levels like "West Side" and the test level, set the values at addresses 0x2DF1D592 and 0x2DF1D5A3 both to 01.
- Has an additional executable file on the disc, dated July 30, 2003. It can be used by simply routing to this file in SYSTEM.CNF.
- There are a few levels in the game files, that were removed from the final game. Notably, a level called "West Side" which is assumed to be a test level for Neversoft's later title Gun (2005) and an early scrapped level called "Australia".
- A few others, aside from the test level and a broken version of London (a THPS4 leftover), are unfinished ports of levels featured in the first two Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games, e.g. School I, Downhill Jam and Philadelphia. They would return as fully functioning levels in Tony Hawk's Underground 2 (2004).
- Each skater in the character select screen starts off in a T-pose.
- Several of the game's hidden characters have not yet been implemented and instead show an unclothed, bald version of the standard CAS model.
- A lot of voice clips are missing and sometimes the player would switch male and female voices.
- Some of the songs in this build appear slightly different and/or in a less censored form.
- Notably, "Underground Up" by Mr. Complex, which is featured in this game with a unique and unreleased version of this song
- Frog One's "Blah Blah" has an extended intro with some radio channel surfing.
- "Suffer Some" by Jane's Addiction is absent from this build.
- Instead there is a track called "Can You Find" by Freestyle Fellowship, that did not make it to the final game.
Cheat codes
This build uses the same cheat code inputs as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 (2002). To be able to enter these codes, navigate to the main menu after unlocking the build from it's demo mode, then go to "Options" and "Cheat codes". The sound of a cash register, a THPS4 leftover which would be replaced for the final version, confirms a successful entry.
