I have been wondering why no one's tried to implement more physics with in-game weather. Seems to be a fading design scheme. But its possible that more titles down the line may open up possibilities for all sorts from storms to rough seas. I can think of a few that might try..

Heavy rain while trying to climb up a slope; and it's hard due the terrain being unstable and slippery. You're movements are more sluggish because of the bad weather....I agree. Is this what you meant?

In the current era of costly and rushed developments I don't see something like that - which would be considered by marketing/accounts as unessential and a waste of development time - happening any time soon.

I was gonna make a "Video Game Environments" thread for this but I just figured I can fit it in this one but it would be nice if the topic of this thread would be changed to "whether and environments in gaming".

Basically I was playing through Serious Sam the other day and I just realized how much I hate sewer levels. I absolutely HATE sewer levels, especially the ones which you gotta go down water and swim in a tunnel to get to the other side an crap. They're dark, creepy and you can't see properly due to the lack of light and dirty water. This is usually a big deal for me when the game is an monster/zombie shooter FPS and wants you to go underwater to get something. In such games(like Half Life or Serious Sam), there are chances that a underwater monster exists and I just utterly have having shoot it down. It's a pain usually as you can't see much underwater and controls are a bit hard to do. Thus, a big pain.
