First time you were amazed by water effects in a game

I know this is weird topic, but I still remember my first water experience in a video game were my jaw dropped.

For me it would be ICO for PS2. There was was small puddle of water and I kept jumping in and swimming it not believing my eyes.

I even showed my friends back than, and they were amazed as well.

What was your first experience? and did you take a plunge?

I remember being impressed with the water on Baldur's Gate back on PS2.

Turok 64.

First Half-Life 2, then Crysis.

Farcry for me. Those beaches looked amazing and when you jumped in you could see the little fish swimming around I was like :o

Dragon Quest 7 was an ugly game for the PS1, but the water was still pretty.

Uncharted 1 the water in that game look's freaking amazing:D

The original Farcry for sure.

Super Mario Galaxy

Easily this.

Never... Until... CRYSIS!!!!

Water looked so amazing I thought to myself "Lets go swimming"!

Two minutes later while swimming... A huge shark comes and kills me, literally made me jump out of my chair and scream haha.

Super Mario Sunshine for me, such beautiful effects in that game really showed off what a good purchase the GC was early on.

Hard to say, but I liked the water in Donkey Kong 64 a lot.

I remember when pixel shaders came out on the PC graphics cards like the GeForce 3 and consoles like Xbox and pixel shaded water was considered the best thing ever.

Games like Morrowind had it, but when I actually saw it I wasn't all that impressed.

I'm now more impressed with what games like Wave Race 64 managed in their time.

That particular game had water effects far superior to any other game in that time.

Morrowind for Xbox, that game pretty much amazed me all around

Either Hydrophobia or Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason.

First time I'd ever seen water do something other than just look pretty in real-time.

Probably an old 90's FPS game like Duke Nukem or Quake, being underwater fascinated me a lot at the time.

Super Mario Sunshine, without a doubt. savebattery

This. I remember wanting to jump into the game and swim in the ocean water so badly. :P

Bioshock, those water effects were really good.

I remember being impressed with the water on Baldur's Gate back on PS2.

The Wind Waker

Crazy good.

I remember watching my friend play Super Mario Sunshine on her Gamecube circa 2002. I was blown away by how beautiful and clean it looked.

Wave Race 64 is the first time I was amazed by water effects.

As time progressed other games had amazing water effects like Super Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime, Half-Life 2 and Bioshock,

I was actually a little disappointed by Super Mario Sunshine's water. The reason is probably that I still had a old TV at the time.

Water effects from Bioshock blew me away. It's still pretty amazing to me.

Half Life 2 was the first time I really noticed water effects.

The first time I played Half-Life 2 on PC I was wowed at the water effects. Also the Uncharted series has incredible water and Killzone 2 is amazing as well.

I am going to have to say Crysis. Before I never really payed attention to the water until Crysis.

Probably Turok on N64. This gen Halo3.

morrowind

It's amazing how developers managed to make water so beautiful and fluid with old technology back than.

To me when I look at it, it seems that it's the hardest to make in a game, but probably not.

Right now I really like the water in BBC2 it reflects so beautifully, especially the Vietnam map pack.

Far Cry and HL2 although I can't remember which I played first.

Super Mario 64, the under water level with the giant eel and sunken ship.

I was actually amazed by Rouge Leader for the Gamecube. This was before Mario Sunshine of course.

The first time i paid attention to water at all was in Uncharted,i kept playing in it like a kid

Lol I remember that too, I did the same thing.

And Drake's cloth actually got wet.

Star Fox Adventures. That whole game was amazing graphically back in the day.
