Good water physics or simulation is something I always like to see in games. I don't know why but it's just really satisfying thing to see. What games do you think has the best water?

Imo though even I don't like Assassin Creed that much I gotta admit they always had the best looking water for me

 

[Roberts]

AC water is fine, but nothing comes even close to the water in Sea of Thieves. It simply on another level.

 

[triplestation]

 

[Alan Wake]

Sea of Thieves is amazing in this regard.

 

[Luck]

The only one who can rate water in games:

 

[turtlepowa]

Sea of Thieves, Odyssey, Cold Waters, Arkham Knight

 

[bbeach123]

Batman

 

[German Hops]

Ecco

 

[Ev1L AuRoN]

Sea of Thieves is amazing, another level.

 

[LeftThumbstick]

Yeah Sea of Thieves is in a league of its own with the water tech. The trailer from Hellblade 2 had some amazing looking water like SoT (maybe shared tech?) but I’m thinking that was CGI.

 

[Hakiroto]

Yeah, Sea of Thieves has the best water I’ve seen in a game.

 

[DonJorginho]

Watch Dogs Legion and AC Origins.

 

[Portugeezer]

Halo 3

 

[Yoboman]

How the hell did they leave out the entire Sydney Harbour Bridge?

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Batman

Came here to post this.

In fairness to the other games, the water is just eyecandy in Arkham Knight, but goodness it looked the part.

 

[triplestation]

How the hell did they leave out the entire Sydney Harbour Bridge?

EDIT: lmao nvm that shit got done built in 1932 microlol fucked up haha

This is taken from the opposite side of the opera house, look at the fins.

Embarrassed to admit that my peanut-sized brain actually watched multiple loops of that gif, all the while thinking, "Just a little more to the right!" like it was a video. Lol

 

[amigastar]

Not the best looking water anymore but back in the day it was. One of the first shader effect water.
Morrowind

 

[GymWolf]

I think it's between latest 3 ac games, rdr2, sea of pirate and arkham knight.

 

[BARRAD]

Water from Just cause 2 10 YEARS ago

 

[Cherrypepsi]

 

[rofif]

Batman

This water always reminded me of dark athena water 3:25

 

[AJUMP23]

AC3 had such great water and ship combat they made AC4 around it. The one major thing that stood out in SC3 was the water missions.

 

[HotPocket69]

Not the best looking water anymore but back in the day it was. One of the first shader effect water.
Morrowind

Came for this. The first water that blew my fucking mind.

My pick is the BIOSHOCK INTRO

 

[TheStam]

Sea of Thieves is the best I've seen as well.

 

[Die Namek Ability]

Ive always heard Sea of Thieves has great water but i havent seen it in person. I always loved Zelda Wind Waker water.

 

[ThatOneGrunt]

Easily Sea of Thieves.

(Guys I don’t know how to NeoGaf.)

 

[johntown]

I always thought The Legend of Zelda - The Wind Waker had some really cleaver a neat looking water affects.

 

[VincentMatts]

Yeah, Sea of Thieves has the best water I’ve seen in a game.

Big time. I have to re-install the game on my XSX just to see how much better it looks now.

 

[Arenafighter]

Sot is outstanding in water animation.

 

[Die Namek Ability]

Easily Sea of Thieves.

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/930424898981904709/0EA1CEC30F5DAD786E475AC9DF80B0965CD7C7B5/

Could you imagine if your water looked like shit and your game was called SEA of thieves. That is really impressive btw.

 

[Valentino]

Did anyone else download Drakes Fortune demo back in 2007 and keep playing in the water? And now water looks 5x better than that now. Locoooo

Morrowind

 

[iHaunter]

Sea of Thieves and it's not even close. Too bad the game ended up being a scam.

Far Cry Instincts: Predator, 14 Years ago!

 

[Orta]

Cheating but Onimusha 2, 10:45

 

[Kikorin]

Best looking water: Sea of Thieves

Best physiscs (or most underrated): Halo 3

Can't find a better video, but i spent hours playing with physics in Halo 3 and water reacted so good to everythig.

 

[Thabass]

How is Sunshine not mentioned yet?

 

[EverydayBeast]

 

[Wizz-Art]

Sea of Thieves blows everything out of the...

 

[fvng]

I remember being blown away by Bioshock's water especially when the glass broke and water started pouring in

 

[magaman]

Sea of Thieves and it's not even close. Too bad the game ended up being a scam.

So I take it you haven't played it within the last few years. They've updated the hell out of it and it's a great, great experience.

 

[BusierDonkey]

Sea of Thieves obviously, the entire game takes place on water so it makes sense.
