So it's basically the same as the big screens or TV's in City17 with Dr. Breen on it, sitting in a little room somewhere under the map talking to a virtual camera?It can only render to a flat plane, as it's essentially another "camera" in the world, drawing what it sees to a texture, and then rendering that texture with an additional shader which perturbs the normals a bit, usually with a animated normal map which looks like waves. The second camera can decide what objects appear in it's scenegraph, so you can render just the world, or everything in it as well. Its very limited in what it can do, as you get a perfect mirror essentially.
They never lied about anything, the game may have been lacking content but they certainly misled no one.It was indeed a scam. They completely mislead all their customers with their PR bullshit and lied about the content of the game many times over.
It launched as a scam, could be better now, I don't really care.
I remember people would be particularly impressed with this gif from Kinect Sports Rivals.
Of course, the developers of this game would go on to make Sea of Thieves. I'm guessing SoT's water engine evolved from KSR. It's interesting to see how it's changed over the years.

the horse spun in the water and the water continued to spin after horse left....ac origins aint doin that my guy.This is definitely amazing and I'd say the best in terms of overall interactivity but I still think its more realistic and accurate in AC:Origins when the boats move through the water. Overall I'd give it to RDR 2 though since the horses and dynamite affect it too, thanks for sharing that.
Wave Race 64.
Everything else has been incremental improvements since then.
I struggle to see the difference. Which one is Sea of Thieves?Wave Race 64

Why isn't anyone talking hype for Wave Race Blue Storm on the GamequbeWave Race 64.

Top one. The dolphin gives it away - its a cash shop only pet.I struggle to see the difference. Which one is Sea of Thieves?
HIGHLY INCORRECT. And there's far more than this. They lied about A LOT of the content. That being there was literally none. Still barely is any outside of the Pirates of the Caribbean story.They never lied about anything, the game may have been lacking content but they certainly misled no one.
People misinterpreting their statements doesn't equate to lying. What they said was accurate. You get Pirate Legend livery (Legendary Ship), there is a Pirate Legend hideout, and while not much different you get Legendary quests which are much harder and reap greater rewards.HIGHLY INCORRECT. And there's far more than this. They lied about A LOT of the content. That being there was literally none. Still barely is any outside of the Pirates of the Caribbean story.
Can we take a minute to talk about lies that Sea of Thieves developers said prior game launch about the content that is not there? : Games (reddit.com)
Did Rare Lie About ‘Sea Of Thieves’ Content, Endgame? (ibtimes.com)
Waa horizon?
best waves I have seen in a video game.
Waa horizon?
Forbidden West not out yet, but yeah, I should have clarified , the game that is out already.Waa horizon?
A three year old raging Reddit post and a three year old click bait article about the Reddit post. The poster even deleted the post of the things missing in the game, as it soon became out of date and was no longer relevant.HIGHLY INCORRECT. And there's far more than this. They lied about A LOT of the content. That being there was literally none. Still barely is any outside of the Pirates of the Caribbean story.

Yeah it's why I get annoyed when someone lists games like Batman Arkham City and Killzone 3 as having amazing water. It may as well be an FMV, it's completely un-interactive.Anyone can make good looking static water. Interactive waves are harder to do. I sure do miss Wave Race and Jet Moto...
There's this thing called art direction lol. They chose that style because that's what they wanted the game to look like.Sea of Thieves has really great water (and HDR) but everything else looks like a free to play game, I wonder if they really tried making the character models and ships etc more detailed if that would have much of an impact on the water?
fvcking yes!!!! this so much. the tech back then was so beyond. especially if you were an advanced rider and you knew where to dip low
I can feel the water and the controls just watching that clip.fvcking yes!!!! this so much. the tech back then was so beyond. especially if you were an advanced rider and you knew where to dip low
