Ironman273 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I thought the comparison was interesting. Just Cause 2 seems huge to me. I'm surprised they don't include GTA4 Source: Kotaku e-berlin.org 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironman273 Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 and i thought san andreas was huge when it came out LOL Me too! And then when Oblivion came out it was like overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyX Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 and i thought san andreas was huge when it came out LOL +1. I thought the developers were mad? I loved this game, but the world was a LITTLE BIT too big. At least they did put planes, a jet pack, a train, etc. so that we could travel fast. I?ll leave you guys with a popular proverb? ?It?s not the size of a hammer that counts. It?s how you wield it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholas-c Veteran Posted May 9, 2010 Veteran Share Posted May 9, 2010 Wow. How do developers create such large world lol!? By building a weak physics engine and rushing the story xD (just cause!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singh400 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Holy crap, look at Just Cause 2. And I remember playing GTA:SA and thinking the map was too big. I'd love to see Borderlands included in this aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I thought the comparison was interesting. Just Cause 2 seems huge to me. I'm surprised they don't include GTA4 Source: Kotaku GTA 4 was confirmed to be a smaller map than San Andreas in the original previews for the game several years ago. Would be kind of pointless putting it on that diagram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hani Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Wow. How do developers create such large world lol!? terrain could be randomly generated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saburac Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Those photos are not to scale at all. Especially Burnout Paradise, look at the size of the roads and objects compared to the supposedly smaller maps. There is no way that's a bigger game world than Oblivion or World of Warcraft (speaking of which just where is Northrend and Outland by the way). Terrible terrible comparison.

Charisma Veteran Posted May 9, 2010 Veteran Share Posted May 9, 2010 You guys think there's such a thing as too big? (Frat boy jokes aside..) I'm just wondering--I'm generally terrible with navigating and finding my way around, even in real life. I'm amazed by these people who seem to have an internal compass and rarely get lost. In games, I'll often get turned around and have to re-trace my steps in order to find my way in the direction I'm supposed to go--even with a map and marked waypoint. I know, it's ridiculous. But I'm wondering: do a lot of gamers think bigger map = better game? Or, like me, is it more about "quality vs quantity"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redacted Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Something seems wayyyy off with Burnout Paradise, I always had the feeling that GTA SA was larger, with roads, empty land, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tharp Daddy Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 There's no way WoW is not the biggest game, including instances, raids, outlands, northrend, and the original world. I feel they turned down the scale on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green_Eye Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Is nobody seeing on the bottom right where it says even larger? Elder Scrolls 2 : Daggerfall 62.000? WTF?! How is that even possible? :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOC Veteran Posted May 9, 2010 Veteran Share Posted May 9, 2010 There's no way WoW is not the biggest game, including instances, raids, outlands, northrend, and the original world. I feel they turned down the scale on it. That's because WoW isn't the biggest game. EQ2's world is bigger, and EQ1 is even bigger than that probably. LotRO is bigger as well. Is nobody seeing on the bottom right where it says even larger? Elder Scrolls 2 : Daggerfall 62.000? WTF?! How is that even possible? :s It's possible, why don't you download it and play it? It's free now :) Plus you'll see why Daggerfall and Morrowind were way better than Oblivion story wise etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's not this thread - Just the feel of the game between playing LoTRO and WoW something about the scale feels different and makes it seem like WoW would be the bigger game - but that might just be because i've always loved Warcraft and it was fun seeing the places come to life, and i was never a fan of LoTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
