"Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for the PC lets you skate in virtual worlds over the Internet with friends from around the globe," said Larry Goldberg, executive vice president, Activision Worldwide Studios. "Up to eight players can compete in multiplayer games like King of the Hill, Slap!, Trick Attack and Graffiti, and trade custom maps with one another."
"Developing the enhanced PC version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 is just the beginning for us," said Randy Pitchford, president, Gearbox Software. "In coming weeks, Gearbox is very excited to continue to support the game to allow and inspire end-user additions and to help grow an on-line community around the fun new multiplayer aspects of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for PC."
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 is the revolutionary sequel to the best-selling sports game of 2000. Featuring eight massive levels filled with people, traffic, and other interactive elements, the game's environments are brought to life with richer graphics and advanced special effects optimized for today's PC video cards. Smoother life-like animations and significantly improved tricks capture the style of the world's best skateboarding pros. Further improving on the franchise's intuitive control scheme, the game allows players to perform tricks and combos in some of the world's most popular skate locations including Los Angeles, Canada and Tokyo.
The enhanced skate park editor allows gamers to create the ultimate park up to twice the size of parks in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. The Create-A-Skater features a new female skater model, and the ability to modify almost every aspect of their appearance, from accessories to clothing to hair color.
