A preview prototype of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for the PlayStation 2, dated around two and a half months before the final build.

Notes

  • There are no FMV's in this build.
  • Instead of unique level loading screens, this build uses the boot loading screen as a placeholder.
  • Only Career, Single Session, Free Skate and Create-A-Skater are selectable.
    • In the main menu, "Tutorials" is located between "Network Play" and "Create-A-Skater" instead of between "Park Editor" and "Options" in the final version.
  • The skater select screen in career mode does not show either the number of goals completed, medals obtained or decks collected.
  • Some skater's appearances are different from the final.
    • Most notably Geoff Rowley.
    • Some skaters only have default and/or placeholder boards to choose from.
  • There are only four levels in this build: Canada, Suburbia, Los Angeles and Tokyo.
  • The physics in this build are less refined.
    • Each timed run starts with the camera to the right side of the player.
  • Some of the Career goals would be changed and simplified in the final version.
  • Only a bare minimum of the trick assignment option has been implemented.
    • However, all skaters are assigned all special tricks with combinations primarily using the Square button.
  • A lot of the game's text is written in all caps.
    • Notably the entire Create-A-Skater mode and "Score" in the HUD.
    • The spin counter in the trick string is colored red.
  • A total of seven songs are in this version of the game.
    • Some songs can be found in a less censored form.
  • A few extra skate brands not featured in the final version appear in this build, including Flip and Vans.
