I hope next gen gives us Driveclub level downpour in open world games
One thing I don't like with weather effects in some games is that when it stops raining or snowing the after effects don't linger. In MGSV the atmosphere would just clear up when the rain goes and the scene dries up instantly.
Hopefully they have it so you can still see how wet it is after that.

That would be nice.
As far as I know, weather after effects are in this game.

He said that about Detroit. And he took issue with people praising God of War.
Disturbed Era member said he could easily replicate a scene from Detroit in UE4, comes back after a month of two with nothing but excuses.
Incredible
I remember that. Detroit is coming to PC so there's a chance that poster could rip the files to try to finish it.

I'm glad to hear that, thank you.
I believe Dying Light's nights were really dark too.
It probably had to be considering the name of the game. Worked really well for when you'd run away barely seeing where you were going without a flashlight.
This screenshot from the PSN page seems to have a heavy rainstorm
Are you showing me stuff that happened in real time? I played plenty of it the year it came out, but I can't recall any instances of snow building up around me.
Blizzards would happen that would coat the environments more and your agent. However the entire game took place in winter with NYC modeled to look like that all the time, nothing quite like what seems to be happening here in Days Gone.
I just want to send a thumbs up to a post like this. You know how nice it would be to hit a "thumbs up" button? No need for words. Now lookit all the words I had to type.
Wow. The custom modified version of UE4 in this game is really the best, the swarm AI the weathers and everything is just a real showcase of the engine in a real game and not just in a tech demo.
In-game, we've yet to see that level of rain.This screenshot from the PSN page seems to have a heavy rainstorm

Really cool tech. I love elements like this in games because it does such a wonderful job of selling the location as a real place. I feel like, with character animation and facial mo-cap being as good as it is (and always improving, but we're in a great spot with it), the next logical push would be to start making the environments themselves feel as lived in and genuine as possible, and not just a background set your awesomely rendered and lifelike characters are moving through.
I've always enjoyed Bend's games, and I have a feeling this is going to be a sleeper for the PS4.

Hope your weather related appetite is satisfied for now, lol.
They have, remember the alternative E3 demo?
lol imagine an NPC watching him stand there rotating his head slowly in the middle of the road.
Video games are weird.
Snow looks good tho

that would be cool except that almost every game with a day night cycle has time move so fast that a cool idea like that likely wouldn't work. Like oh your local weather is 8 degrees celsius with rain ; so in game is now cold and rainy too, cool ... for the 30 seconds until it's now night time in game again -_-. I'd just like to be able to enjoy a sunset in a day/night cycle that isn't over in under 30 seconds for once.
Considering the thread title, the fact that you clicked it and to top it all off actually made a comment, apparently you care?
They've been doing that for the past year.
And judging by the comments so far in this thread, plenty of people care for these small touches that actually do affect gameplay
