Nayos Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Why do they have GTA1's map beside GTA3's logo? :blink: They don't. That's the GTA III map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 This doesn't seem accurate to me somehow. I've played a lot of the games represented here and I know for sure that some of them are much larger than represented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soniqstylz Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I didn't mind the size of Oblivion or GTA:SA's maps because there was open space, you could cut across and take direct routes. With GTA4, it's all city, driving across the map makes the baby Jesus cry. I'm playing Sabeteur right now, and it's got the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c3ntury Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 +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!" A little bit to big? People moan when games are to small, so don't complain if they make it to big -.-' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Charming Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 The figures on these seem to be off a bit, but as some food for thought from the Kotaku comments, this is glossing over a couple of rather large examples; Flight Simulator X - You can fly around the ****ing world. That's got to win out over these 40-miles squared areas... Eve Online. The game's universe is about a hundred light-years across. Of course the caveat is, being a space game, it's accurately 99.999% empty, but still, for boundaries and scale, they won this particular competition.

Coldgunner Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 What about Arma2, OFP2 Quite literally miles bigger. Would putting FSX be unfair? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakey Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 i just dont see burnout being as large as the others. thats the only one that doesn't look like it should belong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qdave 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. but then again, in burnout you zip around at 200km/h or so...and it might seem slow. Imagine how long would it take to walk there. Oh and it takes 8 mins to go around on a motorcycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valerus Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 LOTRO's map size was a factor that made me quit playing. I was so sick of having to walk for about 10 minutes to another town, and like 30 minutes to another area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that even possible? :sIt was mostly randomly generated as you played, I believe. So you could wander in the same direction for days, but you'd see the same thing over and over again.

Minifig Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Ahh well that shouldn't really count at all... If you can explore it and it has different things to do in each area.. It should count.. as it's part of the "game area".. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael1406 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I'd like to see the Red Dead Redemption world added to this for comparison purposes. Me too. When I saw the thread I actually thought it would be about RDR. As for the comparison itself, there's no way that the Burnout: Paradise map is larger than San Andreas', even with the DLC.

c3ntury Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I love games with free-roam aspects and huge worlds to explore, stuff like Fallout 3, Just Cause 2 and the GTA series really appeal to me because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
