Which special game effect stumbled your senses when you first saw it ?

One of my favorites is:
The colour changes in ATRAIN.
The colour will change from day to night and vary from season to season.


I've recorded a sample of what I mean. (day and night changes)
ATRAIN - The movie(HQ)

I get an error for the video it tries to get a codec but fails. Help says I don't have a codec. I figured that out. Stupid Windows.

hmm I used a (hopefully) standard codec. mpeg4
Try this one: (msmpeg4v2)

Hm....

Special effects that did something to me...... :eeeeeh:


"The colours in the cycling races in Tron 2.0

Hey data, since you like A-Train, you know it's topping the list of games to be reviewed?

Battlefield 2's disorientation effect.
F.E.A.R. 's slowmo power.
Far Cry's white lighting.
Oblivion's bump mapping.
Half-Life 2's rag doll physics.

So many that I found that blew me away, too many to list :D

Sanity effects from Eternal Darkness. The bathtub scene* just hits you so quickly.
And Pretty much all ragdoll physics... Especially from Destroy All Humans! :sneaky:

*If you are playing Eternal Darkness and are scared easily, do not, I repeat DO NOT go near the bathtub. You have been warned.

morrowind sunrise and sunset.

otherwise gore in doom 2 when i first saw it. especially the berserker punch.
oh and hexen ice spell - when i saw it back then the first time.

also gore in Rise of the triade.

Morrowind with nice weather effects, it's sky is very realistic...
