What game has the prettiest water?
>>333130450
Super Mario Sunshine had some nice water for its time
GTA V
That ocean is perfect.
Too bad the game is shit.

GTA V at least has the water that looks the most like actual water. If it's the prettiest is a matter of taste.
>>333130450
Alan Wake.
During the beginning of the game.
Far Cry 3 anyone?
Modded skyrim
>>333130450
That water looks like tinfoil in the bottom left
>>333130450
That looks like tar
>>333130450
what game is that anon? it looks kinda nice
>>333130450
Majula had great atmosphereMajula>Hunters Dream>Firelink>Nexus
>>333130450
>>333133416
It's not nice

>>333133659
Dark Souls 2, Scholar of the First Sin i believe
>>333133416
Dark Souls 2. Ignore the hate you see on /v/. Its a great game.
>>333133572
damn Nvidia Flex is the shit
The water is the best part of Majula, but it still feels unsettling for some reason.
>>333133572
Goddamn that looks good

This or uncharted 3. Nice looking water doesn't mean shit unless it effects the gameplay
>>333130450
not really impressive in motion
especially when you look closer without the DOF effect
>>333130450
Crysis 1
May not be prettiiest (though it is pretty), but From Dust has the best water physics
>>333130618
Isn't he like sick so he can't come in contact with water?
Red Dead
>>333131271
I did all the waste and underwater sidequests in GTA V. It's comfy but I didn't see the need to make it so big and leave it so empty.
>>333130450
The beginning of bioshock. Only because its dark
>>333134985
isn't that the meme creation game that turned out to suck balls and be ridden with drm?
>>333135083
Fucking this. Aurora Basin looks fucking amazing at night. Wish it was on PC so I could take some goddamn good screenshots of it
I was blown away by the water in HL2 the first time I saw it. Kind of set the standard in what I look for when it comes to water effects (Reflects and Refracts realistically)
>>333135185
The beginning of Bioshock's development was basically "guys we made this sick water tech, now what?".
>>333130450
Assassins Creed 4 is certainly a contender
>>333135646
still think this is the best looking game on xbone/ playsation
>>333130450
Hydrophobia
>>333135891
It will probablyage pretty well like AssCreed 1 in terms of visuals and art design.

wow defensive much? I didn't even mention PC or anything I just said it looked disgusting, there are a ton of other games with better water out there on the 360

How is it?

I wish I could wrap my head around all that computer simulation shit, but that's awesome
>>333137605
fake and gay
>>333130450
I just want my desktop to be a loop of the water from the hub from dark souls 2. No character models or actual land to ruin the perfection of that backdrop.
The difference between the water and the textures is fucked.
Looks bad in this picture but the water from Bioshock was amazing back in its day. First time I experienced that intro i had my asshole blown out i was so impressed.
>>333138714
then you spend the rest of the game in sick dark corridors shooting zombies
>>333138912
which make complete sense because you're not a fish.
It didn't look that great but the physics on the water in Resistance 2 was very nice.
In most games only select objects interact with the water and the waves often look like shit because of some arbitrary limit on how high they can get, a huge heavy object makes the same size of wave as a tiny light object. I think its because in most games they just use a shader to give the effect of the wave, the surface of the water isn't actually physically deformed.
In resistance 2 there could be huge waves in the water and they would realistically interact with other waves and the walls of the container instead of passing through eachother. All this would be happening on a mp map with 60 players running around.
>>333139212
Not everything that isn't a fish spends every waking hour in dark corridors killing zombies.
>>333139330
Very interesting from the clips I find on youtube, if only there were better footage of it. Strange how the tech will be lost to time.
>>333133572
awfully viscous for water
This is a 2001 console game.
>>333135646
This.
I couldn't even run it on max settings and the water still looked incredible.
>>333139714
The tech also appears in the ps3 Ratchet and clank games but only in a few places.
I found a clip of resistance 2's water
>>333139367
Do you know what the plot of the game is? I feel like you dont.
>>333140315
Fascinating how the shockwaves actually hit each other. Glad it's used in other games.
I always liked the water in L4D2. It had some neat features, like being cloudy in the centre of a puddle and more translucent at the edges.
>>333140458
yes, I'm a completely different person from the one you were talking to, and just felt like saying something stupid.
It's nothing what I'd call advanced, but back as a kid, there was something really pretty and inviting about Indiana Jones' bodies of water and all water-related animations
>>333135441
Not gonna lie, when I first played the demo back in 2007, I thought that sequence when you're underwater and coming back up for air post-crash was still part of the intro and prerendered, the water effects when you had DX10 enabled were pretty as fuck at the time, and made pre-SP1 Vista worth it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3f2qCa6Ik4
i have always liked the water in FFX cutscenes. Looks relatively good for its age but it has a weird fantasy like feel to it.
I remember Gears of War 2 having some really nice water effects at the time. Honestly Gears 2 looked better than 3 in a lot of ways, especially with some of the neat things they did with physics and the like. Too bad the only videos I can find showcasing any of it is this from GDC 2008.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EANFunFKlNM
>>333140935
With how much water plays a part in FFX, they'd want it to look good.
>>333131271
Love this meme. Post it some more.
>>333140935
That sound design holds up pretty well.
Uncharted 3 had some cool stuff going on with the water physics.
There's a level basically made up of a bunch of rafts lashed together ontop of a procedural ocean sim
>>333141715
Naughty dog really has some fucking wizards on their roster. Whether you like their games or not the shit they pull of on the hardware they are given is amazing.
>>333133774
>>333141715
For being completely useless to the plot, ship graveyard through the ship sinking was the highlight of the game.
>>333143576
they admit in one of the dev diaries that because the story wasn't done yet they just started working on cool ideas and then shoehorned the story in later.
>>333137915
Terrible.
>>333143760
Oh yeah I know, and it really shows. Still ended my favorite if thr bunch, story be damned. Much better level design that 2 and especially 1.
>>333135048
If that's true that's... actually really depressing.
>>333135048
>can't come into contact with something that makes the majority of a person and it also necessary for survival.
>>333133572
digital water > real water
>>333135048
he would be dead if that were the case. avoiding water is fucking impossible, since your body is pretty much made out of water you fucking retard
>>333144761
you can be born with soft bone plates that expand if you go in pools and stuff and can cause pain and brain hemorages in your skull
but that guy is just autistic
>>333133572
How long will it be until we see that sort of dynamic physics in a console game?
>>333133572
How can I play this webm online but if I tried to run this in-game, my computer would explode?
>>333135420
still has the prettiest water IMO

>>333145171
pre-computed waves aren't really physics. Do they actually react to the player or objects?
>>333145323
>pre-computed
Do you prefer your almonds activated, anon?
>>333145056
because all you're doing now is loading the video, not rendering all that shit
Crash bandicoot, and some other ps1 games had pretty looking water.
>>333145323
Yeah, that's not physics but just pre-rendered water, but most of the waves in this thread is the same way.
It's not a bad thing particularly, since not many games _need_ to react to the player or objects, and very detailed water can be very performance-draining.
Waverace 64 is the shit, I always get thirsty and drink a galon of water wenever I remember that game.
>>333130618
The game was based around water, so of course they spent most of the time making it look good.
Not exactly the best screenshot but I think the water in Just Cause 3 looks pretty damn good
>>333145683
Actually you can simulate the phisics in any animation tool, them you save the results in a batch animation and you can insert it in the game with a loop, it will look that amazing and will take no resources of the console since it will just play an animation and no extra calculation for the phisics are needed.
>>333145010
Never.
>>333146042
this is not about best water level music
>>333145597
Naughty Dog have always been wizards with playstation tech, but the real triumph of the real Crash games was the draw distance they managed to squeeze out of the original original PSX. I remember that making my jaw drop back in the day.
Splashdown for the PS2 was a pretty okay racing game, but the water, the water was %100 fully reactive. You made waves, things made waves, those waves interacted with each other dynamically. It was amazing to see. I even had friends who had me load up the biggest map on their PS2 before I left (the game would continue to run without the disc so long as they didn't exit the level) so they could continue to play around with the water physics after I took the game home.

I heard that it had <20fps frame drops at launch

You are discussing the formatting of his post.
You're the one shitposting.
>>333137675
rest in peace water boy
>>333145457
You CAN activate almonds, and yes there's a difference between "pre-computed" and dynamic. One reacts to the world, the other doesn't and is just animated by an artist. Pre-computed is usually called baked.
>>333145056
this is a joke, right?
>>333144889
jesus christ
>>333135891
have you played gta 5 on last gen consoles? pretty incredible they even got it to fucking run on those, let alone have it look that good.

Tweak a couple of shader options and it wont seem so bad. Think that anon was just admiring the physics.

>>333148564
Ugh.
This games water looks "okay" at best when you're at open sea and it doesn't have much to process.
Anywhere else and it looks like hot garbage. Hardly reacts to lighting, doesn't use translucency. Honestly W2 had better looking water and it didn't even have sailing.
FUCKING SPINTIRES
Watch Dogs is the only correct answer
>>333150148
I was so pissed off at the downgraded water. Where are all the huge rolling waves they advertised?

It looks fine.

When are we going to get more H-games with semen physics like this? There have been a few (obviously all just ones that play a video file that's pre-rendered) but you don't see it that often which is shit. It's not like it would be hard to render it in a porn game when all you're rendering is one or two people and some semen spilling around.

I think the water was the only thing that wasn't downgraded in this game.
>>333151807
No it is pretty crappy. Always bothers me when I'm sailing in that game, most of the time the water is almost completely flat. It makes me cry
World of Warcraft, i have alot screenshots shieeet

thats really shitty. you can even see the fucking squares that render the "water".

I miss WoW in some respects, I think I was around 15 when it came out and it's one of the last times I genuinely enjoyed exploring in a video game, just roaming around and enjoying the atmosphere. WoW and Oblivion are the last time I enjoyed doing that, it's a shame; I hate being old and jaded.

Doesn't compare to what they showed at blizzcon. They nerfed the water pretty hard. Originally it displaced.

Awww man, I want that sense of wonder back. I remember when Skyrim came out, I didn't enjoy a minute of it. It is a shitty game and is full of flaws but I think if I was 12 again I would have spent hours and hours just walking around.
See pic related, I used to play this when I was a kid and think about what lies beyond those pixel representations of mountains in the background. If I had played Skyrim back then my head would have exploded.
>>333156172
t. Triggered consoleplebeian
>>333156258
Yes but it looks like shit compared to what they showed at blizzcon.
Also, the ocean water doesn't reflect everything in the scene, it looks shit.
In-land water reflects players, but it's buggy as fuck and you need to have your camera horizontal.
>>333135083
red deads water alternates between two different textures or something it looks so weird.
Flight Sim X has some fuckin nice water effects when you crank the graphics up
>>333155739
Battlefield 4's engine always amazed me considering how good it looks and it runs for a MP game with 64 players, vehicules, tons of physics...
No wonder why battlefront is gorgeous since the maps are tiniest.
>>333156397
i would fix it but im not playing again till legion
>>333156169
Wut ? You're telling me that they still downgrade games even when those are PC exclusive ?

>>333140315
Theres a couple of cool sequences in this where you're being hunted by invisible enemies in a swamp and you can only see them by the water moving
>>333156546
I never even thought about the water in BF4 while playing it. Shit.
>>333153710

>>333156797
I know you can swim to ambush npcs and stuff, that particular area might have too strong currents though. Not sure
>>333156797
I think you can, though it has been a while.
>>333150148
>>333151807
Witcher 3's water is the ugliest aspect of the game. I think the biggest problem is how reflections work. They just outright disappear at certain camera angles so all you're left with is a flat blue surface.
GTA5 had pretty good water, especially in motion with huge waves.
