Title: Which game has the biggest map?
Post by: Damian79 on July 09, 2013, 08:09:19 AM: Elderscrolls: Daggerfall 62,394 square miles that is like the largest map ever.

However but what about recent times?

How big is Xenoblade chronicles/Red Dead Redemption etc. Do we have any concrete numbers on these other than the time it takes to go from one end to another?

EDIT: What exactly is fuel?

Literally the size of planet earth.

Okay, well, the parts where humans live or traverse. None of that Antarctic shit.

Don't worry too much about that, Fuel is a perfectly playable racing game. The biggest appeal, though, is just picking a vehicle and then tooling around the wasteland.

a map has four corners

On foot, from Cochinay to Nosalida, which is the roundabout longest diagonal map area to cross, took 28:25

On foot, from Nosalida to Rathskeller Fork, roundabout lowest left corner to furthest upper left corner, took 10:46

Post by: Eel O'Brian on July 09, 2013, 05:39:26 PM: yeah, from the furthest corner diagonally it takes about that long in RDR

Probably not as big as it seems when you have to stop and change the wind direction every 10 seconds.

Post by: etiolate on July 10, 2013, 02:41:59 AM: Wonder if there's been an update on those map size comparisons for all the newer games. Curious about Read Dead, GW2, and maybe some of the minecraftian sandboxes.
