Well, that is fine but it seems all are like that for the most part. Anyway, I just looked at the new video that was posted from the developers. Much different than the earlier versions. Water looks blue. Maybe just early developement. Like Reallydedpoat said gloomy. Seemed a little less gloomy on the new video.

The ship model detail looks fantastic from what I could see in the new video.....come on 3-20-07!!!!

I noticed it, too. It looks pretty bad. But frankly this is one aspect I'm not worried about. Prolly early shots or badly photoshopped or something, that's all.

Let's just wait and see. I'm sure things will look pretty on a sunny South Pacific day.

Thats what I'm hoping for. The Pacific is nice and sunny. Water is clear. Sure, the ships can rust buckets like they are supposed to be but the early screenshots everything was looking like a rust bucket.

I agree, AVG

I'm also hoping that this is just a function of screenshots not conveying the true colors in the sim. Yes, the deep Pacific waters should be blue; shallows mostly turquoise with some dark for reefs, and some turbulent areas are kind of a murky green, but mostly the blue and turquoise colors. On a sunny day, the sky should be that cerulean blue with big white pelagic cumulus clouds! But I wax poetic. The Ubi guys are from Romania, right? their own experience of oceans proabably "colors" their sense of what looks right. Maybe they should have done some "research" in Tahiti or Hawaii first.

I hope the environment looks awesome, but I also think that we can tweek some colors fairly painlessly if we don't like it. Ubi seems to always do such an excellent job, some fine-tuning can be a lot of work but also fun (in a sick sort of way).:hmm:
