Which game has the biggest playing area?

[Danielzxzx]

When mean playing area I mean like in games like GTA San Andreas or Burnout Paradise or Need for Speed Most Wanted. Those games have playing areas but which game out of all the games created do you think has the biggest playing area?

I think he means world map ingame ?

in this case maybe world of warcraft or maybe EVE online or Entropia Universe ?

 

[Danielzxzx]

That is what I mean. So World of Warcraft has the biggest playing area? I thought it was going to be that. What about 3D games like GTA San Andreas and Need for Speed Most Wanted. Which 3D game has the biggest playing area?

Far Cry 2, single map that is somewhere around 50 km²,

Far Cry 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

well Fuel is supposed to have 14 000 km2 of playing area. Any game that is bigger than this?

I remember when I used to play Oblivion, it had a pretty big playing area. You could explore literally everything.

How big is Oblivion playing area? How long would you say it would take to get from one side to the other side of the playing area?

 

[Richardc269]

No idea, really. I never actually tried walking all the way across. Never had the chance to. Can't really do it anymore since I can't play it.

what about just cause 2?

250000 acres (1012 km; 391 sq mi)

cloud8521, Fuel has 14000 km2.

cloud8521, Fuel has 14000 km2.

ya but just cause also has a vertical element making it even larger
of course i knwo this does not have to do with size but you will also be moving much faster so the area may feel smaller that way also.

Oblivion has about a 40km² map size.

MMOs have pretty big maps. World War 2 Online uses half scale model of Europe, which would be around 230km². Star Wars Galaxies MMO has 12 planets you can travel to all with 15km² maps on, too.

Possibly Vanguard

On the Cont. of Thestra, travel from the Western coast to the Eastern coastline would take about 30minutes or so on a lvl 10 horse, if you didnt stop anywhere and knew how to navigate the terrain.

There were 3 continents in all.

The game itself would've been good if not for all the bugs.

Just Cause 2 (awesome game btw). Here are 7 game maps compared:

Just to let everyone know. I was on youtube and there was a video about this record in the guinness world records gamers edition. There is a record for the largest playing area and it said that the record is Fuel. So that means Fuel is the winner.

 

[Product FRED]

Look at my picture on the right side. It tells you ones that are even bigger. Fuel is only 5,000 square miles. Elder Scrolls II is 62,000 square miles so that's the winner.

Is Elder Scrolls online game? I wrote my post when your picture was not up so I could not look at it at that time but now I did look at it and your right.

 

[Product FRED]

Nope.

Elder Scrolls programmer, the game's sequel, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is 0.01% the size of Daggerfall, but it should be noted most of Daggerfall's (Elder Scrolls II) terrain was randomly generated.

So Elder Scrolls 2 is not online? When did the game come out? What year?
