eh, the character models are crap, but that can be fixed.

it sure liiks like they put a TON of time into making the water be as realistic as possible.

looks quite promising in my opinion.  if they make this game as good as  they did with the water, itll be good.

Yes it seems they put most attention to the water in that stage of development. Which is right because the water will be the "star" of the game , not the riders.
The water looks better now than on the older shots , or they have done something with the lighting.

Damn, that water does look good. These are the first shots I\'ve seen of this game.

One dumb thing about the water is that you should see it splashing against the beach and the things in the water. It looks kinda dumb just having it stopping at the beach without splashing and seeing it spray everywhere
Title: latest splashdown shots
Post by: ddaryl on June 20, 2001, 06:41:34 PM
well waves on the beach are said to be there but probably don\'t show up well on screenshots, or they\'re still implementing it.

The wakes are new to the game, in the last shots there was no wakes created from the boats

It looks great :D
hope it plays great as well... :D
if it does, add another good title to the PS2. :D

Post by: Bobs_Hardware on June 20, 2001, 08:59:21 PM
first shots ive seen of the game as well, i sure do hope it plays well, it\'d be a shame for the good water physics to go to waste

those water effects are one of the best in the videogame history... and they have to be improved.. :)

Wow, that really looks impressive.  When\'s this one coming out?

In most of shots the water looks amazing but in some it looks bleh and they really need to do something with the character models.

Gohan the game is not finished. I think it would be about 60-70 % so in the final version the models and water will be more amazing than these shots. Furthermore, these pics in movement, in movie, must be great.

The character models are fine, at 60FPS your not going to be seeing much character anyway, and furthermore you\'ll be staring at the back of there head.

Not to mention they\'re screenshots and little details don\'t focus as well

OMG!! The water looks real!!  This game looks fun!!  :D

the only thing really missing is enviroment mapping in the water.... there are no reflections

crap character models, awesome water effects.

You answered my question. :D

Where did you read that it was going to be @ 60fps?

actually I have no confirmation on 60FPS, last I heard which was the 1st I heard of this game it was running at 45fps.  For some reason I just assumed it would be running at 60, and It probably will

Even at 45FPS and the speed of the game in general your not going to be noticing alot of character detail on the back of a seadoo

i guess the human models are okay, just as long as they have knees when its done

There are some movies of this game at ps2.ign.com (http://ps2.ign.com/previews/16366.html), though they are pretty old, they show the great water effects and wakes from the boats.  The game looks a lot better in motion.

After thoroughly enjoying ATV Offroad Fury several times, I believe that Rainbow Studio\'s next offering will surpass that of their first. With that in mind, this will definately be on my pre-order list.

The water effects are incredible!!!!

Apparently, they have used a specialist in water physics to create the water effects, so this should be cool.

When is the game out?

What format is it on, CD or DVD (purely for interests sake only).

Hmm.. Something looks really odd in these screens..
Whats the white stuff on the water (second screen)
and why is the water black and white? (first screen)

Overall the water looks really nice! :)

This is shaping up to be a rather sumptous game, and one that may possibly de-throne Wave Race 64 as the ultimate water racer.

But those who berate the look of the riders should look back at that particular N64 title.  It wasn\'t about the number of polygons that the riders consisted of.  And to be pedantic, it wasn\'t due to a blisteringly high frame rate, which Wave Race certainly did not have.

It was about the FEEL of the water, the way in which you reacted to the waves that made it such a joy to play, as well as the handling of course.

If this can be recreated , then the PS2 is onto a winner.

And for the graphic geeks out there, the trees don\'t look half-bad..... :)

ok Fatson

1st of all its sunset so the sky\'s color is darker

2nd it seems that this course is a river or glade of some sort

I know water is stereotypically blue, but in real life wate is crystal clear blue in the Carribean, and Blue green or even darkish like the above water.

There are all kinds of different shades of water depending on the pace you are at, the time of day and the type of sand or mud on the bottom of the body of water you are on.


The white trails would be the wake of the boat and if you\'ve ever ridden in  a boat and you look behind these "White Foam Bubbles" are very apparent

the water is incredibly realistic .

yes ddaryl has a good point, water isnt blue, it just appears that way sometimes, i think thats why we are getting such realistic water these days is because developers have realized that now and are making water super realistic.
Title: latest splashdown shots
Post by: nO-One on June 26, 2001, 03:28:05 PM
The water looks good,but from the movies I\'ve seen (granted they are quite old) the water doesn\'t ripple alot when these one man water boat thingies travel,it bugged me a little....not to mention that fact that there are no reflections what so ever :(

Otherwise looks good.But I\'ll have to give the Nintendo game thumbs up over this game,at this stage.

adding to what ddayrl said, well have u ridden a PWC?

cuz fromt hese shots, it looks quite good. i was impressed with ATV offroad fury, and i bet they will do a good job with this one.  again, the water is what the programmers have been working so hard to do, thats why the character models suck. all can be changed.

no-one

there are no recent movies of the game out there that I know of yet so the latest effects weren\'t implemented in the movies out there

but the physics of the water the way the boat reacts in the water is unmatched IMO.

Actually, if you watch those movies that are on ps2.ign.com, you\'ll see that the water effects are in.  The water reacts to everything the boat does, and vice versa, in the videos.

NAw, the wakes from the boat are clearly missing and the video looks just like the original trailer that was shown a ways back

the physics are implemented but I\'m sure they\'ve improved

When the boat spins around in the first video you can see the wake from it.

Yesterday I saw new videos on TV (GIGA GAMES). This videos were from the Splashdown event in France. There was a track in a stadium where you have to jump from one stage to another stage, which is higher. So you go higher and higher. It was very interesting. The only bad thing was the fog.
