PC game in rainy weather

[thetechfreak]

GTA IV. Insanely detailed Raining. Each droplet will have a polygon count of 20. But, can be a huge system hog. Can easily turn into bunch of frames if ran on a mediocre rig.

The rain in GTA IV is great. Very detailed.

The overall graphics is perfect.



But the first game where I say rain was- GTA Vice City

IT had radical graphics from the rain perspective. The droplets on the screen effect is great

Here i should mention , GTA San Andreas rain , although it looks quite decent , it really messes up the audio [ different outcome fo r different rigs what i've heard ] , it goes mute , sometimes only Radio sounds came , sometimes Train sounds[ wtf ?]
i remember this one lvel i was playing , had to go up the mountains with a bike , and it started raiing in the night , and such weird sounds came , i looked up the cheat for clear weather and used it Was really creeping me out because it was almost 4 in the morning , just couldn't bear all that

I think by now, all of you might have played Gears of War. Now jog your memory back to chapter 3 "Downpour" and witness the stunning lightening effects and rain being rendered. There is a part where you can position Marcus below a railing which has a small flow of water falling directly on his head. It's amazing how atmospheric the game looks in that sequence.

& also there is one rainy level in GOW "Belly of the Beast"...
in that the water flowing from trees looks so damn real....

Far Cry 2 has another good raining effect

NFS-HP2 also has som e good rain effects............

I don't know about the console version, but in PC it doesn't look good IMO. Hard to believe this is a 2010 game as far as rain is concerned.

I liked it though.....also yesterday installed crysis 2....it has some great water effects...

I loved the graphics and sound effects......well just started playing it so can't comment on the gameplay yet....as i have never liked any crysis games...

I installed GTA IV Yesterday [ when it released nobody had the setup to run it decently. Even now i have to play at medium High settings , cannot MAX out with a 5670 ]

The rain looks so good. This game would have been great if it released now , when everyone has a a good enough PC to play it. Too bad it could not get rid of its bugs and all.

I had played a bike race PC game.... I think it was "Moto GP 2".. amazing graphics, with 3 modes of weather: Sunny, Cloudy and Rainy.
Rainy weather was simply superb. Lightning effects were amazing too!

Yea I also used to play moto Gp 2 on Pentium 3 850 Mhz . It used to take 3/4 mins to load a race/menu.

The effects were very nice and detailed, and the game was as easy as hell. :fonzz:

Tomb Raider Underworld has also nice rain

 

[Rockstar11]

thanks a lot

The best Lightning effect I have seen is in the first Colin McRae Rally. It almost blinds you!!!
