My wife was telling me that there was was a new pirate game coming out for Xbox one( all AOS games are pirate games to her lol) so I got my hopes up it might be something decent. Turns out I should of known better. This is the new game coming out for Xbox one. "Sigh"

Sorry for link, can't get YouTube vids to work.

And knowing MS, they won't allow another game of this type on XBOX. Oh well

the spray is great though. need to borrow some ideas from there :)

Yup, especially as ships like Trinc and Renommee pitch into the troughs of waves.

And then all the spray streams backwards onto the deck when you're going to windward.

+1. Also, appreciate the efficiency of the application of the principle of Exaggeration in animating :

- sailing (buoyancy : ship going uuuuup and downnnnn ; height and high number of waves, much spray…), 

- firing cannonballs (lots of smoke, big blasts, ball curve flight, big gun recoil…), 

- ship damages (camera shaking…)

 - ….

 

Of course Sea of Thieves is catoon and NA is more realistic, but any realistic animation needs this principle.

Maybe NA animations would be enhanced by a (little) bit more exaggeration. 

 

Also see camera position / angle for immersion.
