Water is an important aspect of many video games but is also one of the sneakiest. While doing research for my own open-world RPG game I looked into how thousands of games use water and came to the conclusion that it's the biggest lie in video games.

@pitri_hub 3 месяца назад

"Video games lie to you. This is not water" The ground is also often just a mesh with no volume, and some behavior that prevents you from falling through. The water is just as real as that. If Minecraft tells me that block is water, it's water. As long as it's implemented in a way that looks consistent with the rest of the world, there's no reason to label it a lie. Every game has the freedom to choose how realistic it's going to be. Expectations like "Water is only water if it looks and behaves identical to real-life" are really not fair. It's nice to see an effort of explaining certain mechanics under the hood of game engines, but labeling them "lies" really does not sit well with me.

@TheSilverShadow17 2 месяца назад

Then again video games are never going to be 100% realistic in any regard whatsoever. That's not what they're designed and built for. I mean sure there are people who play devil's advocate for opting for more realism in games, but I personally don't see the point in that when we're talking about an entertainment sector that has worldwide influence.

@12feetup 2 месяца назад

@@Quantris That summarizes every video game in a nutshell right there. Video games are a highly complex algorithm of 1s and 0s but such that you can interact with them as the player. I can think of it like this: amongst the gaming community there are users who merely play games for the sheer fun of it whether it be from modding, testing new features, etc. Then on the other side of the spectrum you have the toxic try hards who no life the hell out of a game and do anything in their power to gain the upper hand on everyone.

Ray tracing is probably the most grand example of a technology that's great and has some great use cases but is ultimately not worth the performance impact to use it in most games. Sure the water puddles look marginally more realistic, but that's not worth the 50% performance cut for most people. Ones that can afford it.

@mnomadvfx 3 месяца назад

@@Laezar1 Not even abstractions in this case. More like dramatic over simplifications where only the surface is actually sorta physics simulated and the rest is literally just the game mechanics coded to make you and the other models inside it move as if you are in low gravity environment with some turbulence. Simulating only the surface makes computation drastically easier - and most of the time it's just a precoded animation rather than actual simulation anyway, with normal map animation for ripples when you disturb the surface.

@mnomadvfx 3 месяца назад

@@Verchiel_ Most in game water puddles these days are just a normal mapped texture on a flat surface that gives the illusion of depth. That being said, most modern water rendering in even raster graphics uses depth simulation to progressively cloud it the further away from the 'surface' it gets - which is similar to depth fog but limited to a specific volume in the game map.

The plural of vertex is not vertexes, its vertices. The craziest water lie I can think of is in the Build engine that games like Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior, and Blood used. That engine still wasn't fully 3D, but actually 2D info projected into a 3D simulation using digital witchcraft. So the way water worked was, unsurprisingly, super weird. One of the limitations of those old pseudo 3D engines was that you couldn't have a room above another room. Each sector could only have a single floor and ceiling height value. But these games had areas with what seemed like rooms over rooms. The way the did that was by placing the rooms next to each other in separate sectors, instead of above one another, and sneakily teleporting you between them. usually, climbing a staircase or riding an elevator would actually teleport the player, instead of simply connecting the areas like they seemed to. This allowed for more complicated level design than previous games like Doom were capable of, and even some real physics defying stuff too. And the way water worked was similar. When you were on the surface of a pool of water, you were actually simply standing on the floor of the sector. But it had special properties that made your character sit lower on it and bob up and down slightly to make it feel like you were chest deep in water. And to let you go underwater, when you hit crouch, you would actually teleport to the ceiling of a different sector that was the underwater area. This sector had more special properties like adding a blue filter to the screen, muffled the sound effects, and putting the player in a special flying mode that simulated swimming. And if you touched the ceiling again, it would teleport you back to the surface sector again. It sounds crazy, but especially in 1996, it was totally convincing.

Everything in videogame graphics is "lies" by this standard. Those people? They're hollow inside. They're balloons. Buildings? Also frequently hollow and empty inside. Air resistance? Wind? That definitely isn't being simulated. A human using a hand to pick up a coffee mug, and take a sip? Chances are all of that is pre-animated and none of it is left to physics, and if you want them to do something different with that mug, like pick it up with three fingers instead of two, shake it, dump it out, juggle with it, hang it from one finger, probably all animated. None of it is physics between the fingers and the mug. If I take my hand and grab my arm, you can visibly see my skin stretch, freckles moving towards where my arm is grabbed. My flesh also bulges a bit as it's pushed away from the grab spot. Unlike water I can't think of any games that even TRY to do any of that graphically. Maybe, maybe, if you're playing a very polished game the hand will exactly touch the arm without passing through. Honestly, game water seems pretty good by comparison. There's games where they let you interact with water in lots of ways and it all looks pretty reasonable. But can you name a game where they let you do anything you want with human hands and it looks good? Nearly every game is like "oh god, oh fuck, oh no, we're not doing that! Here's a list of animations you can have the hands play. NOTHING else!"

One my biggest frustrations ever was that there was a game called Cryostasis. In their tech demo they displayed actual water physics (using PhysX) and while it still looked a bit weird (really thick discoloured and overly blue-hued goop), it did look like it could make for nice gameplay. At the time it was nice to see a developer try that approach. However, they took that out when they released the actual game and it just had some traditional "fake water", where all they kept was just "object floating physics" to keep boxes floating in water. But let's be clear: that's not water physics. At all. But here's the frustrating part. At the time I was active on several PC gamer forums and I warned other PC gamers that listen, the full game actually doesn't use that water physics compared to the tech demo. People who expected it to be as innovative as the tech demo would be very disappointed, because in the end they took water physics out of the game. And that's when pretty much not a single person there appreciated my warnings. The amount of hate from ignoramuses I got was incredible at the time because it seemed a lot of PC gamers either just watched the tech demo and didn't play the full game and thought I was wrong, or they were so convinced the game still had water physics (spoiler: it really doesn't) that they just went blind with rage because someone pointed out that, hey, it really doesn't. So yeah, developers not delivering on water/fluid physics is one thing, but explaining to people that there are hardly any games with water/fluid physics in existence is a different beat altogether.

I once completed the Water Temple without the blue tunic (because I, uh, kinda forgot to get it first). I'd been diligent about picking up every piece of heart I could, so it wasn't actually that hard.

1:47 which game was that? Also: there was a game that had some basic water simulation in it that played in an underwater facility. The idea was good, but the overall game was pretty bad sadly.

The analysis you did is very good, all video games are created on lies xD the more efficient the way of lying is, the better the game will run.

Thanks for a good video, I had no idea it was this much details about water in games. Thanks for putting it in a very easy to understand way helps a lot! One thing I wish devs should work getting working is for the eyes to react to light and shink or enlarge the pupil when in light areas. Sure the details have come far and the models have also become better, but I wish the eyes would react better.

@Seipli 3 месяца назад

Great video! Just two things though: First of all, the plural of vertex is vertices not vertexes. And second, the game at 6:04 is called Death Stranding, not Death Stranded. Just some minor nitpicking. Also your game looks super cute! And since you're adding fishing on brooms I'll wishlist it!

As someone new to the channel: Was I just tricked in to watching an (informative) 15 minute ad for "My Game"? I feels like it, (not a band thing), except without a name it's kinda wasted marketing potential.

It's just colored pixels on a screen. None of it is real. This is as bad as the "fake frames" debate. They're all fake. It's not real.

@marywiza 2 дня назад

Its not water, its an actual object oriented abstract implementation of water based physics inside a bunch of code we call program and eventually rendered by a bunch of vec3's and values on the screen that are flowing over your motherboard at high speed around a bunch of chips and gold contacts and wires that creates the developer's insight about what does water looks like in his mind.

CS2's molotov just blew me away. It doesn' actually contain any virtual fluid, they only change the texture of the bottle based on which angle you look at the molotov. It was then when I realised that Giving you the impression of something behaivng a certain way is so much more effective (through graphics and performance) than actually coding that thing to behave like in real life.

Used to mess around building levels in Duke Nukem 3D (1996). You could dive and go underwater, but it was actually a silent teleportation. One room had a water “floor” and when you dove it would teleport you to a second room with the same shape and the game engine would add underwater effects. It was simple but very effective.

@Skeffles 2 месяца назад

It's fantastic to see how you've combined these tricks to make the water! I suspect we'll see games use more realistic water effects in localised areas to the player, just like the wave racer game, until no tricks are needed.

@Zuzelo Месяц назад

Now you can finally stay hydrated! I think the water fits really nice with the style of the game :) Looking forward for broom fishing

@adammolski 2 месяца назад

I mean, most of games really just make a zone, change the physics in that zone and add swimming animations when player is in that zone. That's how you can swim in the air in games like Mario Odyssey or Rayman 2 ... Honestly I thought that would be what the video is about. Not the 'we can render every particle of water, but we dont do that'

Best water I experienced in a game was Wildstar. It had variable current depending on the terrain it passed through.

@galaxiesandempires2651 2 месяца назад

This was a really good summary, I especially like the water splitview effect, I think, when it is missing, it really takes you out of the game, when I see the edge of the top water mesh, it doesn't matter, how good the sounds, water effects, etc. are, it basically shouts at me, that this is not water. I saw this first in Bioshock 2, there, when the room is filled with water, the edge of it looks amazing.

@lasercraft32 2 месяца назад

Agh videos like this make me really want to make my own game... But I already know that its not something I would be able to pull off. It takes a lot of time, effort, and skill in areas I'm not so good at. I don't have the patience required to be able to do it, let alone learn how to code in order to attempt it. :(

Underwater-broom-torpedo-fishing... Okay hear me out. What if you allow the player to "fly" their brooms underwater, maybe at lesser speed and mobility but it will give you a fairly unique underwater traversal mechanic. And if you have that... the next step is putting a harpoon on the end of the broom and chasing down those fish with it yourself. Pretty unique way to maybe spear some bigger/legendary fishies. Feel free to ignore my rambling.
