A preview of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for the Sony PlayStation 2, dated around two and a half months before the final build.
Notes
General
- There are no FMV's in this build. This means that the gameplay demos that would play in the main menu after a few moments of inactivity don't play as well.
- 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.
- 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.
- A lot of the game's sound effects are at inconsistent pitches.
- The pitch of the special trick orchestral hit sound is a semitone too high. Unlike the final version where 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.
- Career:
- The skater select screen does not show either the number of goals completed, medals obtained or decks collected.
- Pressing Square or Circle in the level select flips the tape over and shows the level goals. A feature that has been removed from the final.
- Some of the goals would be changed and/or simplified in the final version.
Levels
- There are only four levels in this build: Canada, Suburbia, Los Angeles and Tokyo.
- Instead of unique level loading screens, this build uses the boot loading screen as a placeholder.
- Los Angeles:
- The fountain is unnaturally bright.
- The guy screaming for help when getting close to the lone car stuck on the ledge of the overpass after triggering the earthquake, uses placeholder dialogue with less than stellar voice acting known in the files as "kenhelp" (possibly referring to Neversoft developer Kendall Harrison).
- In addition to grinding the car mentioned above to complete the "Stop The Thieves" goal, the large green street sign has to be grinded as well to drop it onto the van.
- Tokyo:
- A lot of signs 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.
Controls
- Activating the free camera feature works a bit different in this version. Press both Select + X during gameplay (twice to toggle HUD off). Use R1/R2 for pitch, the left analog stick for axis and the right stick to move around. Unlike the final build, you can actually exit this mode with the same button combination.
- Pressing R1+SELECT changes the camera perspective, unlike every other version of the game where SELECT alone is sufficient.
- Only a bare minimum of the trick assignment option has been implemented and is not functioning. However, all skaters are assigned all special tricks with combinations primarily using the Square button.
