Notice the heat haze and touches of fire in places. Looks almost prerendered.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Nice, now if only we can get higher res video. Still nothing beats seeing it in person. I can't get over how gorgeous this game looks.

 

[Matlock]

We get it, you like SC3's fire effects. You don't have to whore the mediocrity that is SC3 in every thread.

Good luck finding a high res vid. Hard to notice the haze and smoke effects in the vid.

RE0 / RE4 / RE Outbreak had some mighty nice fire as well.

Yeah, the RE's are great.

 

[Matlock]

I forgot about how great the fire in RE4 looked--a spot more natural than anything else this gen.

I hate the fact the graphics got downgraded on PS2. We need a definitive version. Rerelease on GC with the extras?

SC3 is much better however.

I have the original with the red tin, but I might be interested in buying a special edition for the GCN too.

And I don't know if it's just the video or what, but the SC3 fire looks nowhere even close to the quality of fire in RE4.

Hmmmm, there is surprisingly few videos and pics of the burning painting gallery stage of SC3. Well I'm still looking.

You're kidding me. No game is even in the same league as SC3 in fire effects. You have to see it in person. Its insane.

 

[littlewig]

Does the Lava room in RE4 count?

That was beautiful.

Looks like a cartoon in the video, but I'll reserve judgement until I meet someone who owns SC3.

The video doesn't do justice to SC3 fire stage at all. Saying "nowhere even close" is the wrong choice of words here, I already have RE4 for GC and SC3 is diffinately in the same league perhaps better than RE4. It's stylized different too, hence it's bit difficult to judge the better, but SC3's fire stage is simply phenomenal.

It looks prerendered. Its like the stage is actually burning. Its an amazing improvement when you compare it to the temple courtyard stage in Tekken 5.

 

[Tarazet]

I was going to say RE4 too, and I barely even played it.

I've offered several caveats to the effect that my only judgement is based off the video. I stand by my words based on the evidence I've seen.

I always like the fire in Wind Waker, looked like paper.

 

[Unresponsive Bee Victim]

I remember when the Deku Tree explained to Link everything about Gannondorf and it shows him riding his horse through the fire. I used to think that looked pretty sweet, today though, its nothing compared to some of the graphical effects you see in games today.

 

[Kleegamefan]

RE4 lava level>SC3

 

[D3VI0US]

I'll tell you what the worst I've seen is, the exploding barrels in MGS2, looks like a bad PSone effect. Flaming lake was cool though.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

ARRHHHH you beat me to it.

I really liked the Fire in Wind Waker too. It looked cartoony and matched the rest of the games graphics really well. Technically, it was good too with the heat haze effect and lighting.

turok 2 was touted as having "the best fire ever in a videogame" (paraphrase) according to Nintendo Power.

Well, did it at the time?

good god

I have play RE4 7 times now and the game still impress me. I'm amazed at the job Capcom did with the game.

 

[Reilly]

I want to play the PS2 version of RE4, but man, I don't want to have to buy a GC

 

[Culex]

Fire pit room in RE4 for the win!

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Well, technically that's not really fire...but the fire being spit out by the giant moving dragons machines are. RE4 certainly has a very high contrast to it's lighting.

 

[Speevy]

Can someone find me a better version of this scene? This is basically all I could find.

 

[olimario]

Wind Waker had some beautiful fire effects if you count the bomb and the fire arrow.
RE4 Lava Room sure is up there.

 

[Oogami]

Resident Evil Zero has the best fire effects

Mario Sunshine has the best water

 

[DaCocoBrova]

What technique is used for fire effects in RE4 (GC)?

Shit looks amazing.

 

[Ranger X]

RE4 and Ninja Gaiden for the win!

 

[Foil]

Before playing the 360, I'd have said RE4 by a fricking mile. After though, it goes to Condemend.

 

[Andy787]

This gen it's definitely RE4. Onimusha 3 is up there, too.

This picture so does not do it justice, but it's the best I could find. From the video, I can tell SC3's is probably impressive too, but I don't own it.

mercenaries has good fire

Nice choice too, Capcom certainly know their fire effects.

 

[jett]

I've always liked the fire in Wind Waker's Fire Temple the best. Just awesome.

 

[Ark-AMN]

Condemned and FEAR (they use the same engine after all).

I also thought Half Life 2's fire effects were pretty good, especially when you lit up a crab-zombie in Ravenholm.

HL2's fire was terrible.
