best game water youve ever seen

snurch · April 30, 2016, 03:43:39 AM

i know watchdogs has gotten a lot of flak but it has the best water ive ever seen in any game

it changes with the weather, it looks amazing in storms and the boats actually create bow waves behind them, the way the water changes is similar to spintires

Okay but seriously, probably GTA V's water, especially the next gen versions

i prefer stylization over realism, but i'm assuming you're talking about realism

snurch · April 30, 2016, 05:08:55 AM

watch dogs has better water than GTAV, cause of the bow waves and the difference with weather, definitely looks the best from the surface

GTAV water looks nice but still not as realistic as watch dogs for me, the boats just have a "foamy" texture behind them and sometimes the water looks a bit too foamy, the underwater looks great though and the lensing of the light beneath the water on shallow surfaces looks really nice too

im going to mention spintires too, the water doesn't look particularly realistic but in terms of simulation and physics its probably the best implementation ive seen, the water has currents, it reacts completely realistically with your truck when you drive into it, the water wraps around your wheel if they're spinning fast enough and your truck creates actual waves that can push other things

GTA 5's water is better than all of Watch Dogs

i think its a bit too jelly like

the waves seem a bit too big that close to the shore

it would look a lot nicer if it was smaller overall

There was this section of the river in Ordon Village in TP that had purple undertones and that struck me as gorgeous. I haven't really payed attention to water in games, honestly.

I stopped updating that thread as soon as I began to realise that I wasn't enjoying myself as much as I thought I should be. I pushed through until the end because, well, it's a pretty easy game and it wasn't the chore Ocarina of Time was. Objectively, it's a very well-made game and easily one of the best I've ever played. But...

I've begun to dislike playing video games more and more in recent years, so the enjoyment factor has less to do with the game's quality and more to do with my inability to experience the medium properly. Even older games I used to love, like Jak and Daxter/Ratchet and Clank/Pokemon I can't have fun playing anymore. I feel that I like the idea of video games more than the video games themselves. It's unfortunate because I enjoy so few things these days and video games were my main form of escapism, but, what are you going to do?

I don't know if you want me to rate it or something, and I didn't enjoy it nearly as much, but I'd easily say it's as well-made as Snake Eater (my favourite game.) Potentially more so, objectively.

GTA 5 for sure, but Halo 3's water still looks better than a lot of games and it's nearly a decade old.

Yup.
Also Bioshock 1 had some nice water.
