Farcry 2. Has awesome weather effects. Which I personally consider.. the best on PC.

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.

Timeshift. Has impressive rain effects. But kind of a boring game.

StarWars: The Force Unleased 2. The game's first chapter takes place in storm. Although the game is mediocre, The rain effects and water simulation is pretty impressive.

SPECIAL MENTION:

F1 2010. This game is seriously one gem of a game when it comes to rain simulation. Switch to Hood or helmet view while driving. You will understand what I am talking about.

Outside PC Arena there's Heavy Rain for PS3. Although I have no idea how much heavy the rain is. ;)

^ I personally think.. Heavy Rain's rain effects are industry defining. The way water droplets slide on the character's faces is just impeccable.

^^ You are correct there mate.The rain effects are meticulously done in that game. They are easily possible in the pc but we have to give some credits to "quantic dream" for achieving such results. Even tears and sweat are rendered to their finest.

Farcry 2! Has some really amazing weather effects.
And, MW2! in the white house level, a few moments after the nuclear explosion in the sky.

Although I haven't played the game as previously mentioned, I had seen some screenshots much before the release of the game and it was jaw-dropping!!! 2nd best should be F1 2010.

Well Rain effects were pretty good in Far Cry and I must say whenever they used to come game used to become somewhat easy as sneaking is easy in rain but hey rain effects were damn good no doubt.

Posting heavy rain pics here would stall the servers. The entire game in HD in pictures here.

Wonderful game though.

I agree. Its still burned into my mind. Its just wonderful.

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.

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 :D

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 :D Was really creeping me out because it was almost 4 in the morning , just couldn't bear all that :D

:+1: & 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

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 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 :p . It used to take 3/4 mins to load a race/menu. :shock: :pullhair:

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

Yes you can but you won't see from inside like Shift or Dirt.
