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

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

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!!

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