SH4 water rendition, a step back?

[codeseven]

I know what it looks like using my rig and I''ve seen the screenies of those with stellar rigs, but I still think something has been lost in the rendering of the water. It does'nt look as 'wet' or as 'fluid' as it does in SH3. I dont know if it was the Mods that made SH3's water so awesome or what but the poorer looking quality of the water in SH4 was one of the first things I noticed and was dissapointed in when I played it.

Is the Water in SH4 better than SH3? Does SH4 require an 88xx card to render the 'new' water correctly or am I just not seeing SH4's water for what it is?
