greatest ingame water effects

im thinking crysis, but im sure crysis's water effects will make my comp blow up. so, anybody can tell me bioshock's pc requirements? (is it for pc or was that mass effect? im not paying attention to these games though they're talked about a lot. is bioshock the one with guy with diving suit metal helmet)?bionicle_lover

under water maybe, but look at the shoreline in crysis its really lazy.

you have to play the games to really experience the water. Halo3's multiplayer BETA water was allready incredible.furtherfan

four times. and the water EFFECTS are the best in Bioshock. as for just water: HALO3 has the most reaslitic water i have ever seen.

For instance, the water in the beginning of the BS demo (where you swim) isn't that realistic.

that part of the demo was absolutely amazing

so much detail, like the doors about to burst open with the pressure, or the fish

Bioshocks and halo 3's water is great for different reasons.

I'm not saying is better than that of Bioshock or Halo 3, im just saying that that game had awesome water effects even if they dont compere to those of Bioshock.

The water effects had a designer working entirely on it, nothing else, just water.FusionApex

Well, it makes sense given the setting of the game....

Taking pictures of TV's always makes them look better. But I'm sure it still looks amazing.Metroid_Time

Actually, I just played it on an awesome HD setup, and those screens don't do it justice. Beleive me, it DOES look better. It's quite incredible.

shadow of the collosus on the ps2.its so convincing and its on the ps2k-diddy66

[QUOTE="project343"][QUOTE="ParkCarsHere"]True, but the cost they went to get those effects? An entire team of programmers? Wow. The rest of the game better be as awesome as the water... lol.jrpgliker

wow, gameinformer rarely gave a game 10 score

they only gave 3 games 10 in whole history.

Zelda TP

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2

Metroid Fusion

soI guess bioshock must receive 9.5+ in gamespot.

Wow you really dont know what your talking about. Two more games they gave 10's to that i can think of right of the bat are grand theft auto vice city, and metal gear solid 2. In fact i beleive metal gear solid 2 was the first perfect score given at GI.

Bioshock's water is crazy. But Lair comes in second place.Timstuff

Only if you're a blind cow, obsessed with an overhyped pile of trash that is Lair. This game will not be AA. It may be lucky to get

Single A ratings. Mark my words.

agreed. I played the demo for the first time yesterday and I was amazed, even after expecting the water to be the best

It's probably the best looking water, but judging from the demo it doesn't react to anything. *Shrug* inertk

Bioshock's water is great sometimes and good at others but wow is it a great game and GOTY 07 but I do think Halo Beta did have water just as good if not better (it moved better ie. over dead bodies it acteded more like water )

[QUOTE="inertk"]It's probably the best looking water, but judging from the demo it doesn't react to anything. *Shrug* foxhound_fox

You mean where the elevator falls down and the guy runs out covered in fire, or another room?

I didn't spend much time there so no but what I meant by reacting to anything was like in Halo 3, if I were to shoot the water, drive in it, walk in it waves are produced around me instead of a 2D sprite, in Crysis the water reacts to weather conditions and creates waves.. Stuff like that, I haven't seen it.

[QUOTE="munu9"][QUOTE="MADVLAD123"]

They're just basically like the Kameo water ripples.

Bioshock's water looks the best overall. But doesn't have the water physics (DX10 apparently does).

Halo 3 has some great water physics.

MADVLAD123

Uh no, if you look at the water in uncharted the ripples are very realistic and the water itself is very clear and fluid. What I meant to say is it very watery water :P Comparing it to kameo is just fanboyism :?

Actually no it's not. It's quite reasonable. They're water effects look very similar. You'd know what kameo's water looks like if you'd played it. It reflects objects (including you) and has ripples that continue on till they hit shores and bounce off other rippes as well.

And they look way better in motion, plus the quality of image is a bit down graded because I made this pic from an uncharted gameplay video:

Hmm, next time I play the demo I'll wait there to see it. But still other than beautiful overally it doesn't strike me as impressive. The player's movement doesn't even seem affect it.

that looks very fake

How so?

Uncharted

Vaporware?

F.E.A.R has some pretty crazy water effects.

Crysis water is actual 3D in many cases. When it rains everything becomes wet and slippery, and inside the alien ship it's been said that it will be completely physical.

Water. We are hyping water now?

First we hype the game to high heavens, thenpeople post every review of the game and make a 100-post thread about it.

....And now water effects.

My god, this game better not get GOTY. I would love to see the Forums burst into flames :P

Just kidding.......or am I? :twisted:

Yup. That's very similar to Kameo's water. I don't understand why you're getting angry though. Everyone knows Kameo had some great water effects. Just because Uncharted's water effects look similar to Kameo's doesn't mean it's a bad thing.

MADVLAD123

I'm not angry, I'm just annoyed that you keep saying they look similar. They are not! How about you post pic of kameo's water? (no offscreen shots, justpics or video capture on your computer)

True, but the cost they went to get those effects? An entire team of programmers? Wow. The rest of the game better be as awesome as the water... lol.ParkCarsHere

Since the game is set underwater getting realistic looking water is important. It will add to the atmosphere the game is trying to create.

Lol Thats best comment I've heard all month.

It only took one good artist and a great programmer to do those effects. They worked on em for over a year. So haha to yur comment.

Hydrophobia will be the best.

I win.

That looks like liquid metal.
