So I played the original TimeSplitters last night. It was a PS2 launch title in 2000.
The game got better with every level. Funny how the water graphics had no splash animation nor sound effects but did have reflections. Did anyone else notice that?

The reflection effect may have been broken by vertex displacement or animation, so thats probably why its flat as glass. Similar to how SEGA created the reflection effects in the original Panzer Dragoon, the effect would have broken if the water had any sort of displacement or animation to it.
Not sure why there are no splash effects, maybe the developers just ran out of time to add it.
