Tony Hawk has landed on the Playstation 2! Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 is one of the most popular games in the franchise for a reason: you can dunk Tony Hawk in molten magma! And there are probably some other reasons, too! Join fanboymaster as he shreds through a game he has played approximately 10,000 times. There are at least two boats in this stream! Two! Go Wolverine(s)!
As a special bonus, this stream also includes a run of the (included in THPS3) demo of Shaun Palmer’s Pro Snowboarding. It’s not very good!
Let’s Play Tony Hawk’s Games
Night 4
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3
& Shaun Palmer’s Pro Snowboarding (Demo)
Playstation 2, 2001
March 4, 2025
Random Notes:
- On 3/4/(2)5, we have fanboymaster showcasing a game that had just been announced for a remake. Accompanying him is an audience of Cassandralyn, BEAT, Chromes, Jeanie, Morning Song, and me.
- The Foundry is fanboymaster’s most replayed level in the franchise. When something is part of your childhood, it gets played a lot.
- BEAT runs down the soundtrack listing, and notes there are a few artists that have been capable of doing more than just jump around.
- “We have all lived with that Clarence in our lives.”
- fanboymaster retrieves an axe for the thin man. Should we be concerned?
- Warning: do not corrupt Skater Island with capitalism.
- Welcome to the airport, where “PickPockets” have been changed in response to 9/11. Please understand that 2001 was weird.
The real-life Skater Island had its roof collapse shortly after the release of this game, so consider this the legacy of an island that is now lost to time.- Fire is cool. Nazis are bad.
- Caliscrub joins shortly after radical skating causes an earthquake.
- And then Ample Vigour joins soon thereafter.
- Against all odds, a bunch of nerds drift into talking about Kingdom Hearts, NieR, and Neon Genesis Evangelion.
- Even Worse Streams sez “do not drink as much mercury as possible.”
- And, having conquered Tokyo, we are treated to our ending skater smash videos.
- The Cruise Ship with its secret, lying achievements is now available for our all-star.
- fanboymaster unlocks all characters so we can play as a demon woman, Officer Dick, and at least one Sith.
- And then we close out the night with the demo for Shaun Palmer’s Pro Snowboarding. A title where you must constantly reset your position for going downhill is maybe not the best use of Tony Hawk gameplay. Sorry, Shaun.
Next Week on the Hawkathon: Something bad happened to this world.
