Update: Thanks to zizzy, we've posted a better, lengthier video showcasing Epic's entire presentation. And not only does the water look hotter than ever, but the Unreal Engine's new destructible environments, beefed up lighting, high density crowds and cube of meat are equally as hot. Man, will GoW2 benefit from destructible enivornments ... simply amazing!
Today, Epic Games showed off the latest build of their hella popular Unreal Engine 3, showcasing the engine's latest additions and enhancements. Their tech demo videocomplete tech demo video (embedded above) is a real-time, in engine demo of the Unreal Engine's latest feature, Dynamic Fluid Surfaces. And we'll be the first to jump on the Dynamic Fluid Surfaces bandwagon, because this water is HOT! Hot in an "omg that's amazingly hot" kind of way. Even better is the fact that Mr. Marcus Fenix is used to demo the new water effect which pretty much means that A) we're looking at Gears of War 2's engine in the flesh and B) GoW2's water is going to be freakin' hot! Just look at that water ... so delicious.
He's right, you can mark him down all you like but Uncharted's water is just plan incredible. Besides, this isn't GOW water it's Unreal3 water and all systems can run Unreal.
PS3 and no I'm not a fanboy...i like all the systems and own all the systems. Just not impressed by this. It's good but not the best I've seen, simple as that.
I don't think so, it's possible, but I don't think so, but even so I think the PS3 handles the water physics better. Just my opinion, so please don't shoot me down. Just being honest.

Delicious! Can't wait. Just hope they don't screw up the net code this time around. We can hope.

That was only part of the presentation, there's a whole bunch more like better lighting, some sweet blob physics, and over a hundred locusts on screen at once. Here's the full 4 minute video (and it's not at such a weird angle either):

You can't really judge it by shaky-cam video either.

yeah looks way better now but I still think games like Uncharted have better looking water. Just my opinion.

I could be wrong, but don't they both use the same engine?
