Line 82:
* ''[[Doom (series)|Doom]]'' has spectres (and players using "partial invisibility") appear as a darkened silhouette.
* ''[[Dystopia (video game)|Dystopia]]'''s stealthers are rendered as a watery distortion while they're moving, but invisible while they're still. TAC scans show a snapshot of their IFF boxes, and the Sound Wave Triangulator shows [[Everything's Better with Spinning|spinning triangles]] for their footsteps and gunshots.
* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion|Oblivion]]'', the "Chameleon" magic effect is a partial subversion: as Chameleon strength increases, the distortion effect gradually gives way to full invisibility, and 100% Chameleon makes you both completely invisible and [[Game Breaker|untargetable]] by the AI.
* In ''[[Fallout 3]]'', the Stealth Boy and Chinese Stealth Armor (from Operation: Anchorage) behave this way.
* In the ''[[Halo (series)|Halo]]'' series, the Active camo can be perceived as a player shaped distortion similar to heat distortion if you are close enough.
Line 127:
* [[Ecco the Dolphin (series)|Ecco the Dolphin]], in ''Defender of the Future,'' is see-through with stealth, but the enemies can't see him, even if he bumps into them.
* The Specters of ''[[Doom (series)|Doom]] I and II'' are just Demons with the transparency turned up. On lower-end systems (I'm looking at you, 32X), they were closer to fuzzy background distortions.
* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion]]'' there are two kinds of invisibility: regular invisibility and chameleon. Regular invisibility uses the transparent effect, unless it's another character using it, in which case they go completely invisible. Chameleon also uses partial transparency, whether it's on your or another person. However, if you reach 100% chameleon, you are completely invisible, even to yourself. This is an infamous [[Game Breaker]], since regular invisibility goes away when you attack, but chameleon doesn't.
* ''[[Eve Online]]'' ships with cloaking devices are semitransparent to the player controlling the ship and completely invisible to everyone else, including teammates.
* Your [[Player Character]] looks like this when under the Invisible [[Status Buff]] in ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]''.
Line 246:
* In ''[[Psychonauts]]'', there's a red glow where Raz's eyes would be in order to show you where he is. This is supposed to represent his goggles, but in the real world, where he doesn't wear them, it looks a little strange.
* In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|The Legend of Zelda a Link To T He Past]]'', when Link uses the Magic Cloak to turn invisible, he's completely so, but [[Fridge Logic|somehow]] [[The Shadow Knows|still has a shadow under him]].
* Princess Peach still casts a shadow in ''[[Paper Mario:
* Hector the Reflector, a ''[[Yoshis Island|Yoshi's Island DS]]'' boss enemy, is invisible, but fights in an arena with a mirror in which you can see the boss reflected. He also smashes the mirror more and more as the battle goes on.
* In ''[[Command and Conquer]]: Red Alert'', cloaked units are shown as shadows to their general (copying the style of how submerged submarines are shown; indeed, there are normally no cloaking land units in the game barring bonus crates).
