The cyberpunk/neon city aesthetic is really immersive with rain. I know that the game has more important issues atm but here are some improvements that i think the game's rain effects need.
What i will say that looks good is when driving fast in 3rd person at certain angles it looks good.
Games that have great rain and weather effects (for reference)
Most Titles using Cryengine
Video Examples
That concludes it for now but just imagine this game the rain from Crysis 3 or the Blade Runner movies.
- the rain in the distance needs to not look so 2d as atm it looks like there's a filter over your screen and it looks like its running at 20fps
- Actually be able to see rain drops up close because atm you cant
- you cant see rain drops break when they hit a surface such as the road, various objects, the player model and npc's
- there are barley any puddles that show rain drops hitting them.
- water running down gutters
- Having variation in rain and wind would also be great.
- i.e heavy rain, light rain, low winds, high winds. Transition's between the various effects.
- The a.i. reacting to these various weather effects would also be great. Especially when the extremely rare occurrence of acid rain happens.
