Best rain in a game? I've never seen anyone ask this before and i would like to know. If you can provide pictures/videos that would be great too.

Stalker: Clear Sky (the rain begins around 1:30)

TimeShift is pretty awesome too.

Yep, when it comes to rain Clear Sky blows away pretty much everything else. The video Baranga gave shows it pretty well, but it also looks so much better when actually seeing it in game.

As an older game, Max Payne 2 had some impressive rain.

tie between Far Cry 2, Crysis, and Clear Sky. Crysis just blows me away because of how it LOOKS...Far Cry 2 because the environment is as much a character as the people that populate it, and Clear Sky because everything about the environment was done incredibly well in that game.

That makes no sense. It's like saying Cloudy Sky wins the sunshine game.

Yeah. Clear Sky probably does have the best rain effects.

I quite like the rain in GTA IV as well.

Crysis, to be exact the Coast map from Crysis Wars, imo it looks just as good as the rain in Stalker CS, even better.

Timeshift had a pretty good rain but exagerated, and Cryostasis is just WTF, it has nice graphics and pretty good physics, but the water droplets are extremely awkward, even Timeshift does it better.

Here's a vid, but the rain isn't really visible, it looks awesome in game.

Republic Commando. Yeah that was impressive too. I loved how it wiped the water or goo from the visor after a few seconds.

Are the rain effects in Clear Sky a DX10 feature or do they look the same using DX9?

Uh last I checked real rain is nothing but lines and drops of water falling from the sky. Yeah just went outside and checked, just lines falling from the sky. It's the after effects you look for, and CLear Sky does the wet surface and water splash better then any game I've seen including timeshift, crysis, and far cry 2.

DX10 only. From the movie I posted, I think only those rays of light are available under DX9 too.

The only game out right now that uses 'physical' water for rain is Cryostasis.
