whenever i see water in a game i think of this guy now. Sailing around in AC Rogue left me constantly thinking "Has Mario WiiU seen this?? Look at this water, hed love this shit"

No clue about current gen, but the best water ever was in Wave Race 64.
Don't forget its sequel!

In a real game (GTA V PS4):
Wow. I have been so close to pulling the trigger on GTAV and between this shot and the new patch for controls (always my biggest complaint in a R* game) I think it might just happen tonight after work. Nephews will just have to get a 20 in their xmas cards instead of a 50.
That's a flat texture.

Thinks mods influence posters politics. Promoted to QAnon Editor.
Cutscenes don't count. That is pre-rendered, often by folks not related to the devs. The in game is the standard texture of splash (top surface) plus sprite (vertical part). Very last gen.

Wave Race was awesome. Also reminds me that Kinect Sports Rivals had great water effects in the jet ski races.

Dragon Age Inquisition has amazing water. The best I've seen in any game I've played. Frostbite can do pretty awesome things.

Sorry, this one's a bit better.
The water itself looks pretty good, but that wake is pretty jello-like D:
My vote goes to GTA V on PS3. I haven't played the current-gen version so I don't know if it looks as good without the froth.

Watchdogs on PS4 looks amazing too.

Lmao.
I'm impressed with most game's water effects this gen, except for, weirdly, Infamous Second Son, an otherwise fantastic looking game. The closest I've seen to perfection is the Uncharted 4 PSX demo. The interaction was incredibly realistic and it looked amazing as well. The waterfalls were astonishing also.
But yeah, there's a lot that's great. Watch Dogs, GTA 5, Battlefield 4, Dragon Age Inquisition, Kinect Sports Rivals, Driveclub, etc.

BF4, GTA V and Watch Dogs from what I have seen.
Maybe Far Cry 4 as well? Have not played it yet.
The water in Kinect Sports Rivals does not react to the boats at all. Impressive water for me has to have dynamic waves.

The water looks atrocious from a distance though.

Holy shit, that GTA V water is absolutely spectacular. I find it extremely serene to just look at.

Yeah, I was impressed by that too, thought I had more shots of it, but here's one I took.
The water looks amazing in motion.

Surprised it took 8 posts, tbh. Gold

Speaking of which...
Thought this was a joke post / a real life pic.

Taken in-game using Photo Mode
Looks great but do you have a non-photo mode version? Already had a rant with a few people on this but photo mode ups the IQ and LOD enough to not be representative of actual game play. Genuinely curious what it looks like normally
You can't see the cars that close up during gameplay.

Watch Dogs looks really impressive in screenshots, but when it's moving it looks downright odd. I'm only going off of the webms posted here--I haven't actually played the game. Look good, though.

Came here looking for Mario WiiU.
Ah ok, thanks anyway
Here's the hood of a car, at least. Of course, there's droplets on the "screen" which makes it harder to make out the details, and I uploaded it to Facebook so it's pretty compressed, but it's something.
Watch_Dogs has some nice water...
This is the problem with game "water". You wouldn't have reflections with such good definition on a turbulent water like that. It has to be very, very still to have any well defined reflection.
