Water implementation

[borgdrone89]

I really like the water effects i've seen, and i'm wondering how these effects are different to other games with water?
So my question for the team is, if you are allowed to, can you please post some examples (screenshots would be helpful) showing how the bioshock water implementation differs from the common (usually unrealistic reflection for example) effects we see in current games?

also, because of the depth at which I've heard the water can be interacted with (eg, enemies jumping in to extinguish themselves, or the player tossing some flammable component into the water and then seeing a flaming ai jump in only to set the whole pool ablaze), could you comment on the difficulty of implementing these water effects into the game engine?

please do respond :)

just thought of something, will there be muddy water and water with suspended particles type stuff as well

I too am looking forward to seeing how the water turns out - it's almost a fetish for me with water in games :confused: .

I would love to see a video feature about water in Bioshock - I can't say it often enough :)

Water for me wasn't a big issue till I played Half-Life 2. Now, i always just stand and look at it in any game I play. Sounds crazy, but just seeing the different forms of water is what's getting me pumped for BS (of course, one of the many factors, :D)

I can't wait to shock someones brains out:D I wonder what it will be like:rolleyes:

Well that's a letdown. I come here and see 5 posts, so i think to myself "perhaps one of the developers has replied.." to my dissapointment I find nothing relevant to my question.

Ps. yes I understand what you mean witch

also, I think we are guaranteed a collectors edition of bioshock will be released. the petition already has over 8000 signatures, and it grows by 5 or 6 a minute i think..

Same here,I have a folder on one hd partition with near 4Gb of videos and screenies of Cyrsis and Bioshock,and Hellgate.Mostly Cyrsis,but it would be Bioshock,if,they had released more material.But I guess its a little too early to expect them to release the media floodgates.
