😮 A former lead artist at Rockstar Games who worked on Red Dead Redemption 2 admitted that Crimson Desert by Pearl Abyss outshines RDR2 when it comes to river realism, a surprising industry nod.
Instead of slapped-on water textures, Pearl Abyss implemented a proper fluid-dynamics system: rivers flow around stones, change speed with slope and channel width, and foam/vortices form where physics dictates, not by scripted cues. That's a WILD win for Pearl Abyss, and a neat reply to the haters.
