Versions

The Dreamcast Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is based on the PlayStation version, though it triples the polygon count for the riders[7] and uses higher resolution textures. Lighting and shadows were also improved alongside draw distance, and the Dreamcast version is able to hit the target of 30FPS more often than its PlayStation counterpart.
