I'm a graphic whore and proud of it and good wAter always pops a visual boner

With that said I have a tie between gta5 and halo mcc's anniversary remade map sanctuary.

Sorry for no pics, I searched but it's all shit out there in Google land.

Are you the Miiverse guy?

 

[HawthorneKitty]

[DieH@rd]

There is no swimming in it, but I vote for DriveClub.

That's not bad right, it's kindx like ehh but ehh.

 

[Punished_Snake]

GTA V and Crysis games. Pikmin 3 has some beautiful water effects.

Never heard of him? Did he have a thing for good water in a game lol?

not in terms of physics, but I could stare at rivers and streams in FFXIV for hours. so pretty.

 

[Icefire1424]

Syrim, with Pure waters mod. No question.

Edit: Technically, I suppose that would be last gen. Still think it's the best though.

Watch_Dogs has some nice water...

 

[Eggbok]

I vote Driveclub as well.

Watch Dogs is also pretty amazing.

 

[ShamePain]

GTA V by far and no game is even close.

 

[galvenize]

Not out yet but the waterfall in uncharted4 looked nice.

 

[funcojoe]

See my post

Yea not on that level, lol. That's umm pretty hardcore to say the least.

I just always found with each generational leap I couldn't wait to see what advances were made in water simulation. It adds a very important ambience to a game imo.

 

[Klart]

Swimming in the water in FC4 is pretty f"cking good.

XIV is the definition of comfy gaming.

 

[kavanf1]

Far Cry 4 is looking good from the brief amount I've played so far.

 

[Stripper13]

GTA V by far and no game is even close.

Both Driveclub and Watch Dogs have better water, based on what I've seen.

 

[Jb]

GTA5 gets my vote. Both the way it looks and moves is amazing.

 

[Carlius]

[Qassim]

I quite liked the water in Watch_Dogs:

I was trying but with a toddler screaming for more Mickey mouse club, Google was failing me.

[funcojoe]

I think I'm going to have to pick up drive club, holy shite.

 

[warheat]

Not current gen, but ICO have one of the best water in early 2000.


Hold 'F' to pay respects

Watch_Dogs has some nice water...

eh, too wet

 

[ISee]

Honorable mention , watch dogs

Yeah, it is up there.

The worse mode + downsampling.

 

[UnrealEck]

This one

 

[Jams775]

Man that spin tires example. I don't think I've ever seen water adjust to an object like that in a videogame before. Second would be GTA5 for sure. I bet it'll look even more amazing on pc.

DriveClub

Taken in-game using Photo Mode

 

[RedRooster]

So Blackflag's waves have been completely dethroned several times over now?
Man, I thought that game was highly immersive, can't imagine when I finally get to try GTA.

DC has definitely better water physics but prcars has some nice looking splishy splash too

That shot is *with* downsampling? Egad.

Also, I see people keep mentioning DriveClub, but I'm fairly sure OP is talking about best 'bodies of water', not 'best rain', even though that technically is water...
