    Fog

    Concept »

    Fog plays an important role in many games. In games like Silent Hill, it's an atmospheric element. In other games, it's artificially added to reduce draw distances to save memory and increase framerate.

    What current-gen games can benefit from fog?

    I still see it in RTS's, Smoke Grenades like those in FPS games probably don't count. I think there was some fog in Uncharted 2 at the snow part, but I'm foggy on it. But can you think of any other games where Fog can add to the atmosphere and experience in a game?

    Well if they actually went back and made some scary Silent Hill games again, HD fog would be perfect :)

    Is there some Quest involving Fog? Why are there so many Fog threads lately?
     
    Also, Fog is awesome

    Silent Hill. A heavy snowstorm could also be used.

    More fog, means more detail up close because you don't have to worry about far away things.
