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.
- The main menu uses a different version of the "Gangsta" track.
- Instead of Rastapopolous, a generic pedestrian appears as the skate shop owner.
- 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.
- Pressing Square or Circle in the Career mode level select flips the tape over and shows the level goals. A feature that has been removed from the final.
- Some of the Career goals would be changed and simplified in the final version.
- 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.
- A few extra skate brands not featured in the final version appear in this build, including Flip and Vans.
- There are only four levels in this build: Canada, Suburbia, Los Angeles and Tokyo.
- A lot of signs in Tokyo are different from the final.
- The ambience SFX is very unbalanced and can get irritating at times. Also, the sound levels of the audience cannot be changed in the pause menu.
- The secret area can be accessed by wall riding the big round "門" sign, instead of grind-cutting the wires holding it like in the final.
- The entrance to that area is untextured.
- The physics in this build are less refined.
- Each timed run starts with the camera to the right side of the player.
- 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.
- The pitch of the special trick sound is too high. Unlike the final version where the it is too low.
- 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.
| Artist | Song Title |
|---|---|
| CKY | 96 Quite Bitter Beings |
| Adolescents | Amoeba |
| Reverend Horton Heat | I Can't Surf |
| AFI | The Boy Who Destroyed the World |
| Alien Ant Farm | Wish |
| Motörhead | Ace of Spades |
| Rollins Band | What's the Matter Man |
- Miscellaneous Notes:
- Game is emulatable (in PCSX2): Yes (as of March 17, 2021).
