Morrowind.

Best water EVA!
Swimming is a good way to increase athletics skill

Morrowind is such an ugly game.

I had Luigi's Mansion for launch. Did it really launch with those games?

Rogue Squadron, yes. IIRC Blue Storm came a bit later.

 

[Thraktor]

Blue Storm launched with the console in Japan, so I'll guess the case was the same (give or take a couple of weeks) in the US/EU?

 

[Emotions]

The US launch had : Luigi's Mansion, Rogue Leader , Monkey Ball and Waverace Blue Storm i think.I got mine with those 3 minus monkey ball, cause here where i live they never brought it i had to buy it at a later date.

Not in a game (Will it even ever be possible on PS3 / 360?) but the stuff possible with Flowline VFX is just jawbreaking. Check out this demo reel:

This IS water!

They've got more cool CG stuff too up their sleeves:

This girl is CG? If stuff like that is capable on any system in the future, you know that sex games are going to get pretty poular.

I was thinking it was sort of the floating knife that was CG and this is a composited FX shot.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

King Kong has some nice looking water from what i have seen, how the waves crash and roll.

 

[Unresponsive Bee Victim]

IIRC Blue Storm came a bit later.

I bought it at launch with my Gamecube, along with Luigi's Mansion and Rouge Squadron.

Holy, fucking, shit.

It ain't perfect, but that is fucking impressive... Blim, why didn't you share?!

Wasn't this game supposed to look like ass? Jesus christ...

Very impressive. But have they just set up a wave animation and then used it everywhere?

 

[Hooker]

I think so, that's my only gripe about it...

 

[LegendofJoe]

I saw that the other day, simply beautiful. There's just something about a tropical setting that gets me all excited in the pants!



Oh, and while I agree TP doesn't have the best looking water the rain effects are something else. In case you forgot:

 

[Blimblim]

Because :
1) I'm not here to promote every little thing I post on my site, especially when it requires a link to one of my pages (see yesterday's 99 nights topic)
2) It's a sensitive subject and I'm sure it would start a 3 pages topic starring the Xbox fanboys on one side versus the PC fanboys on the other one. The usual suspects.

 

[Andy787]

Wow. That water in FC Predator is absolutely astonishing. And unrelated, but the other parts of it shown looked fantastic, too.

I was already planning to check it out, considering it's going to have essentially two games in one, but I'm a lot more excited for it now. Looks like they're really putting the effort into it.

 

[Gattsu25]

The usual suspects.

Yeah, those people piss me off

HOLY DAMN.

Blue Dragon is also a good mention.

Amazing, beats the PC version hands down. Damn, one more Far Cry game for me.

 

[jamesinclair]

Mario Sunshine was the only game with water that made me want to take a swim.

 

[Blimblim]

Btw the water FCI video was done by the game dev team at Montreal, originally for internal use inside Ubisoft, but they released it more or less officially a few days ago.

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

But have they just set up a wave animation and then used it everywhere?

They said in an interview somewhere that they are trying to reproduce the best water possible today, using an oceanographic algorythm to simulate waves behaviour. Impressive.

I think the rain in the first ever Wind Waker video beats the TP rain, it was just a very short sequence, easy to miss, but it never got that good in the game.

 

[Zerodoppler]

Had that Far Cry water been interactive, I would have been absolutely floored.

Understood.

 

[OG_Original Gamer]

Yeah, it impressive indeed. Lets just hope they can make it a little more interactive. When the bullet hit the water it didn't cause a ripple effect.

 

[quetz67]

Wow, the first really believable waves ever, at least one thing the 360 version is better at

 

[saelz8]

Just cant beat HL2 water

EDIT. Except Far Cry instincts! WTF! I should have watched that video before my post. HL2 you're fired!

 

[Error]

you can knock TP for textures and shit like that, but the water at least in the trailer and pics I seen looks amazing for a current gen system, specially in that part where he is on a boat.

I was going to say Star Fox Adventures... before seeing the FarCry screenshots and the video
