the water physics is amazing in this game. however, the reflections and shimmering suck. they should sell this tech to a pc dev team and they could have beautiful water running on low end hardware
@wishingW3L On consoles yes. This is great water effects, best I have seen on consoles. But the fact is that consoles can't support tessellation as that is a DirectX 11-only feature and consoles run DirectX 9. On PC, you can have tessellated water, which means, it adds more polygons and extremely detailed geometry to the water. In this tech demo /watch?v=4G9anRoYGko (paste after youtube.com to watch) they explain it pretty well how tessellation works.
@esquiche You can't use Tessellation on PS3, the hardware is far too old to be able to support it. The PS3 was introduced in 2006, while OpenGL 4.0 was introduced in 2010.
Also; I believe the PS3 uses a stripped-down version of OpenGL, and not the standard release you'd use for PC development.
@PSNBloodraid Oh? I knew the PS3 didn't use DirectX but I didn't realize that OpenGL had tessellation, so thank you for pointing that out. Would the PS3 be using version 4.0 though? I didn't think they upgraded APIs on a console.
@RH00D2 No, the PS3's hardware is too outdated to support OpenGL 4.0. I'm not entirely certain that it uses the same API as you would use for development on the PC, but if it did it would support either version 2.0 or 2.1.
Morrowind(2002) had this water tech. It is really overlooked. Even Crysis missed this one but apart from that detail Crysis water is still amazingly beautiful. Also check the new Morrowind water(with MGE), it looks surprisingly similar to this one.
@vtastek morrowind uses a shader, but this one is a much nicer shader- F.E.A.R has actual 3d deformation, in the tiny pool of water on the firtst level, there isn't any more!
@Threedoor900 He meant the last clip of this video. It IS from a pre-rendered trailer and people that say it isn't obviously don't know shit about videogames.
@kamar56 uncharted 2 water moves too fast and looks like someone blew into the water and didnt walk into it but the over all look of uncharted looks wayy better
This is the best tech I've seen for water effects, but my only complaint is that it is slightly sluggish. One thing about these effects is that I haven't seen in other games is that when multiple ripples intersect one another, they will build up to an even larger ripple, which is pretty cool to see.
its wery great tech, but I wish the water was behavin more like water, need some tweaks id say.
And I wish R3 is going to be made with with the killzone 2, uncharted 2 or crysis 2 engine... lol.
R2 could have been a lot better if they had put more work to polish it and get rid of some annoying trees, glitches, stupid bosses and weird low res textures and like the ugly edges you can not avoid to stare at that is beetween two textures, a lot of those in the canyon level...
that's a matter of opinion. but why are we talking halo here, we need to toalk WATER!!!! (seriously, I'd love to this tech used in a game set on an island with aquatic vehichles like Jet skis and stuff.
The water is the worst I have ever seen in a game, no water effect should act that way, it acts like a plastic sheet is over it and that the water will ripple(even through land) and it doesn't even look good, the water also apparently can't be broken and only ripples...
this is jelly.... not impressed

best water effects of this gen. Period.
At last a game attempts to add fucking refraction to the water instead of the random white splash, Jesus!

@RH00D2 Tessellation is not a DX11-exclusive feature. It was introduced into the OpenGL core libraries in version 4.0.
Besdies; the only console that uses DirectX is the Xbox360. Both the Wii and PS3 use OpenGL for rendering.
