Something to give you a perspective

Cool pics! I wonder where some of the older games, like the original Zelda, would fall.

this is a nice comparison ;)

I feel like playing TES 2 now.

JC2, I can't believe how damn fun this game is. Getting totally distracted on the way to an objective is the best, love it.

how to scale this by the way?

According to the internet Daggerfall is only 62 square miles (62,394 is almost 62 and 62.394 is the big number for some ppl)

This is kinda awesome.

Senn it before. Fun to see it again.

why should i care about computer generated landmass that is devoid of everything, made solely to increase the time i have to hold to forward key to travel from place to place?

Wow, GTA so small. O.O

Wow I thought WoW's map would have been way bigger than Burnout: Paradise's O.O Guess not xD

This is great, thank you.

I thought FUEL had the Guinness World Book of Records on that clicky

This was a fun post to read. Thank you for that. )

As a side-note, I don't see World of Warcraft in there. I'm trying to imagine the next Witcher game which is supposed to be something like 10x the size of WoW.

I would die of old age before exploring those.

Ooh, shiny.

Is TES II seriously larger than Oblivion by that much??

ARMA II map is 140 square miles aprox. I think.

Great post.
Thanks!

Thanks for posting. very cool!

Are those acctual travelable sizes or just outer limits?

Wow, that's interesting stuff. It really demonstrates that the size of the map means dick-all when it comes to the quality of the game. It doesn't matter how large the game is if there isn't anything fun to do in it.

Minecraft is even bigger =p

SimShitty 2013: 2x2 km = 4 km2 = 1.54 square miles

I wonder how those compare to games like GTA IV, SR2 and 3, Sleeping Dogs, The Saboteur, Driver San Francisco, Prototype, Skyrim, Far Cry 3, Batman Arkham City, Fallout 3 and New Vegas or one of the AC games.

I'm loving the direction open world games are going. Still, it pisses me off a lot of these games do not give a lot of good travel options. (when I say a lot, I am exaggerating... but Fallout still kinda pisses me off)
