Is Tony Hawk 3 beta really leaked?

Hello guys,

I'm a big Tony Hawk fan (until they started the physical skate thing) and I've always loved this game. I know there's a PSX Tony Hawk 1 beta leaked, with some stages that didn't make it to the final game, as well as at least two test characters and a test level unaccesible without editing the beta.

For some reason I just googled today info on this and I saw some people asking for help, trying to boot a "Tony Hawk 3 beta", who other people claimed to successfully boot. It seems it is for the PS2, but all the information I could find was these threads:

So, do you know if there's any way to get this beta? I'm sure that some of you have a bunch of TH protos I won't be able to afford, so that's why I'm curious about an already released beta.

Thank you in advance!

 

This would be excellent, tony hawk series was amazing. links are interesting.

 

Indeed! There's little information about the development stages of TH saga. It would be great to have a look at a TH 3 beta for the PS2, so any information will be greatly appreciated.

Googling for the nfo or the filename (PS2BETA-THP3B.001 ) brings up nothing unfortunately. Should still be on Usenet imho?

edit: Should´ve read the full topic, it was a fake it seems...

 

Yeah it seems fake, too bad AT&T doesn't support news groups any more. :crying:

 

Well, thank you for confirming that it was never released. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a future release of any TH beta

 

oh god this was my favorite TH game :3 too bad there wasnt a beta released

 

There's a beta of THPS 1 around, just look hard.

 

There were 3 or 4 dreamcast builds of the first game for sale over the years. Really wish I had the cash then, was hoping one of them would have a 4 player build.

 

I would like a THPS3 BETA for PS2. That would be cool.

 

someone can share THPS 1 leaked beta?

 

That big search engine is your friend on this one. Literally paste in part of what you wrote and it will be on the very first page. Do some of your own digging.;-)

 

Was it rumored a 4 players mode for Dreamcast? That could have been literally weeks of fun.

PS: Dabma, here you have a useful link

Im fairly certain that there are screenshots of the 4-player mode in old Dreamcast magazine. Was disappointed when the game came out without it.

 

I've been trying to find something regarding this 4-player mode but all the information I found is about the GBA version :/

Anyway, thank you very much for pointing this out, though

 

If you can, check out scans of the old US Dreamcast magazine. If it wasnt clear, I was talking about THPS1. You can see it mentioned here :

Dumb question, but is the PS1 beta of THPS3 public?

This thread reminded me that I have had this thing lying around for years and have never even tried it.

 

Thank you for those links! I think it might have been because of visibility issues? Maybe the screen was not big enough for four players.

And no, as far as I know the only TH beta leaked is the Tony Hawk Skateboarding one.

 

just posted the tony hawks 1 beta enjoy

 

This beta is definitely real. I'm not sure if it is the exact release that was linked in this topic but its the demo of THPS3 shown at E3. I am positive that I have this kicking around somewhere along with a THPS 3 psx beta (that is nearly final with some minor differences). Ill go hunting for it later.
