Any favourite snow effects in games gaf

Fifa/EA FC is always good - orange ball, players skidding - feels like Christmas. Consecrated snowfield was nice in Elden Ring.

Otherwise Red Dead 2 is pretty ace for it.

[Punished Miku]

I Am Setsuna is the comfiest winter game ever made.

 

[Umbral]

I was gonna say The Division. The Cockatrice beat me to it.

I remember adidas power soccer had that effect as well.

Remember Die Hard 2?!?!?!

 

[Sethbacca]

I think it's used to great effect in Frostpunk. There's always something satisfying about heating a section and watching the snow melt outwards from the heat points.

 

[NeverYouMind]

I really like it in Mafia II's second chapter even if it does not look impressive.


I also like it inside Flanoir in Tales of Symphonia.


I found it impressive in Days Gone as well.

Plowing snowy roads in Sweden with the Stratos!

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories had some of the best snow:

Panzer Dragoon Orta. Love the music in this episode. Skip to 0.28



Parasite Eve. Skip to 3.01

I love the atmosphere it adds to the game.

 

[DirtyBast8rd]

Death stranding.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Kona 2 Brume was set almost entirely in Snow. You even got to ride with sled dogs.

 

[Icymanipulator]

I like the snow areas in Skyrim

 

[Josemayuste]

 

[KyoZz]

Red Dead II is amazing

Idle animations too, warming his hands:

The music on that stage gives me feels…

 

[RaZoR No1]

That 2 days per year on GTA V...

 

[mansoor1980]

 

[MujkicHaris]

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

 

[Rush2112]

Best snow effect I've experienced is until dawn maxed out on PC

 

[Chuck Berry]

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden does it real well

 

[Grildon Tundy]

In The Last of Us Part II, they conveyed the cold so well leading up to the underground weed bunker that it actually did feel like a safe haven.

 

[N0S]

 

[Jinxed]

Peak nostalgia. I need to try project 1999. Some of the best days of gaming for me

 

[Boralf]

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Not gaming related but the title reminded me of this track. Absolutely sublime

Happy Friday GAF

 

[Beechos]

There was the opening level in one of the recent tomb raider games that had some good snow effects.

 

[Rush2112]

Amazing game. Still play it daily for nostalgia and ambience. Too bad, I suck at raiding.

 

[Judge Magister]

Syberia II is comfy.

 

[Dr.brain64]

 

[DragoonKain]

My favorite snow area in any game. The music makes it so nostalgia. Was the best part about playing Metroid Prime Remastered and revisiting that part 20 years later.

Try Project Quarm instead ! It's alive and well. Also more adapted to functional adults.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Edit

 

[TintoConCasera]

lowpoly + snow = comfy overdose

 

[Codes 208]

Rdr2, skyrim (especially with added lighting/environmental mods), halo ce

And as weird as it sounds: minecraft

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Come on now, where is this absolute classic:

 

[EerieArcade]

Stormpeaks from WoW. Used to love going there just to listen to the music.

 

[Diddy X]

Need to post some gameplay, this game blessed my childhood.

 

[kiphalfton]

Damn, no metal gear solid. You guys are sleeping at the wheel.

Anyways, KH2 Nightmare Before Christmas North Pole was cool.

 

[chokotoureiki]

FF Tactics Advance intro.



Dreamfall: The Longest Journey Chapter 4: Winter



Shenmue



Legend of Dragoon



D2

 

[Tiamat2san]

Usually in Japanese rpgs , the anime looks is comfy especially in the older ones.

 

[diffusionx]

Assassins Creed 3 had some very comfy snow. I think that game is super underrated but it's probably just me.
Lost Planet is not comfy but a very bitter harsh snow feel.

 

[Ristifer]

This blew my mind back in the day.

 

[Northeastmonk]

There's a complete English translation out there for it. I played the physical Japanese version and went by the very detailed guide on GameFAQs. Maybe I'll play it again someday.

 

[Demigod Mac]

Permanently deformable snow in 2001. If you slammed a character into a tree, snow would fall and replenish any displaced snow on the ground.
Snow in modern fighting games tends to be a flat surface texture with some temporary footprint effects layered on top.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Damn, no metal gear solid

mmmh someone has me on his ignore list?
