Its PlayStation 2 version also received a "Platinum" sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA), indicating sales of at least 300,000 copies in the United Kingdom. Combined sales of Tony Hawk console games released in the 2000s reached 10.7 million units in the United States by July 2006. Next Generation ranked it as the 14th highest-selling game launched for the PlayStation 2, Xbox or GameCube between January 2000 and July 2006 in that country. The Xbox version had an improved framerate over the PlayStation 2 and GameCube version, also including an exclusive level, the Oil Rig.īy July 2006, the PlayStation 2 version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 had sold 2.1 million copies and earned $77 million in the United States. In both the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation versions, the wooden sides on the board (around the grip tape) had colors (except Bam Margera, Jamie Thomas, and the custom skater's decks), and the game had brand new tricks such as the Cannonball, Wrap Around, Fingerflip, Del Mar Indy and a brand new animation for the Airwalk. The PlayStation and Nintendo 64 versions run on the Pro Skater 2 engine, with a different revert animation that is the same as the PlayStation version of Pro Skater 4. Due to the shut down of most Sony servers the game is no longer playable with others online, except for via programs like XLink Kai or through websites that allow users to play online through a DNS. Users could connect directly to other players online on the PlayStation 2 version-even prior to the launch of the network adapter, with a USB Ethernet adapter. The game stood out in the franchise for being the first title to have online capabilities. This system would later be refined in Pro Skater 4. For example, double-tapping the kickflip button would, naturally, make the character perform a double kickflip. These were variations on standard tricks that could be performed as grab, flip, lip, or grind tricks. This allowed for much longer combos than in the previous two games, where landing in a quarterpipe would finish a combo. This game saw the introduction of the revert, a trick that enabled vert combos to be tied together with a manual, by tapping a button when landing in a quarterpipe.
