I wouldn't be posting about virtual water unless it was astonishing, so trust me when I say that Hydrophobia's physics-based water technology is exactly that.
I hadn't heard much about the survival-adventure game before, but apparently the storyline has you thwarting a terrorist attack on a ship the size of a city while the rest of the world is completely flooded. Also, you're character is afraid of water, hence the game's title. How convenient.
Very little of Hydrophobia has been revealed thus far, but if the effort that went into making sure the water acted realistically is anything to go by, it'll be a game to look out for.
You can find the teaser video after the break.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Seriously, I had my brother do the first part of Bioshock while I cried in the corner.
Like Dragon Ball for NES or the Shadowruns for SNES and Genesis.
Hyrophobia sounds like a negative perk in Bioshock, by the way. It hinders your plasmid abilites when you're standing in water.
However, there's nothing like flashy gimmicks without good gameplay (looking at you, BF:Bad Company)
Could've been a bit longer, and the ending was a bit abrupt.
Can we see some game now please? Because as shiny as this are, I can get a graphics demo anywhere. Needs more game.
..saying that, if this actually works, brilliant :)
Hell yes there is an English version, lol. I actually bought this game for my SNES a long time ago when I was still a lad at a flea market. Ah, the good old days.
?
(And yes, Crysis is like... a dream come true. I can Physic everything :D)
(Damn GTAIV not out on PC yet ¬_¬)
