Correct answer is, indeed, RE4. Even up close. End of thread.

The explosions in the latest Ghost Recon vid tops em all imo.

 

[olimario]

Point me to that video, please.

REmake and RE4 both had awesome fire effects.

 

[Doc Holliday]

The Fury in MGS3

RE 4

 

[gollumsluvslave]

Believe it or not, the fire from the Balrog in LOTR The Third Age is probably the most impressive fire I've seen this gen.

Shame the game was shit :lol

 

[typhonsentra]

How was the lava room handled in the PS2 version of RE4?

 

[Leatherface]

Fire pit room in RE4 for the win!

Agreed.

That's nowhere near as cool as those pics suggested (though a couple of the larger ones were pretty slick).

Actually, the game moves really badly right now. The details are fantastic, but it has a very clunky, choppy appearance in motion...

I doubt many of you have played SC3 because the fire in that is real. RE4's seems very cartoony in comparison. Definately ingame. Whereas in SC3 people will think its CG at a glance.

Onimusha's is just crap. :lol

SC3 wins this comfortably.

The smoke in SC3 is quite nice, the fire itself isn't that amazing. I'll maybe go capture a video if I can be arsed.

Yup, another vote for them from me!

haha, that is so not true!

They ARE very different, though...which could explain the rift of opinions.

SC3 - Flames
RE4 - Explosions (even in the lava room)

definitely. but SC3's don't make RE4's explosions/fire seem cartoony.

Go ahead. Its much better than RE4's fire. There isnt much room for improvement when it comes to SC3's flames. RE4 had explosions and really cool lava etc. but i am strictly talking about fire itself as in flames. Games have done realistic fire before but only in torches etc. This game goes all out in that stage.

I can't believe I forgot this!

Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory have the still impressive flame thrower.

If you think RE4's fire was only good for torches you played the game with your eyes closed or didn't play it at all.
