and i thought Uncharted 3 had great sand! |
It didn't 
sand in U3 wasn't as good as the snow in U2, it was a flat texture, they didn't bother processing sand effects much, just the ones under your feet , U2's snow and Journey's sand is dynamic , you leave footsteps and it stays there, only to be removed by the dynamic wind.
edit: hey! i forgot killzone, Killzone had one of the best sands / Snow in games, when you leave a footstep your boot even leaves a texture depending on the character you play as! , Killzone is really underrated among the Sony graphic whore department.
