Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Elite Dangerous ???????
Why was there no "Eve online"?
After all the elder scrolls games that got put in, why no elder scrolls online?
satisfactory?
"we want bigger game maps!" game devs: "did someone say 80% water?"
When? In what game?
heck_of_a_car assassins creed odyssey and just cause is two for starters
No mans sky " our map is bigger but it is technicaly mostly empty space you can only travel in with a space ship and land on seemingly earth like sized planets it was confirmed the game is infinite only depending on your hard drive space
Subnautica: Pathetic
How does one even put a universe in a 2 dimensional map?
It's so interesting how a map 4× smaller than other maps can feel 10× bigger by being filled with actual content
Nature can easily be content, depending on game. Distance can be a huge game mechanic.
it's also interesting how claimed lore size, or size relative to the modeled area of land, is used instead of actual in-game size... burnout paradise is nowhere near that big in the actual game.
@@rawhide_kobayashi not to mention the biggest factor, movement speed.
Also true of real life New York City has so much more content than say Arkansas, but the experience in one has more
You can make it both bigger and interesting for example witcher 3 map is fairly big.
Best evidence that "Bigger isn't better." Interaction with the world is what's most important in these maps.
Yeah fuel wasn't that great and some of those big map games i've never heard of.
3 words: World of Warcraft.
That's what she said
Man shout out to the developers for building entire fictional country size maps that’s actually insane
Just cause 2 was only 6gb
What this actually makes me realize is how small most game worlds are but how good a job the developers do at making them FEEL vast.
These are not accurate cuz they made these maps by each game own size counting. For example fortnite map is only 4x smaller than pubg not 8x that's because 1meter in fortnite is 15 cm irl and idk about pubg but these systems are not real in games
@@Tyborz im just saying that this video is incorrect. Guy took infromation from internet without checking it.
@@cupcake_toucher445yess exactly my thoughts it has so many wrong things
@@princerawat4297 finally someone who gets it
@@cupcake_toucher445 So what is the real size? owner of the truth without any proof.
At the end of the day it’s how fast your character moves across the map
It really is - botw map feels enormous and just cause 3 map is bit but not huge but Zelda’s map is much harder to visualise and link has his legs and maybe a horse but Rico gets jets etc
Flat Girth yea Skyrim looks small here, but you can’t travel across it fast.
yeah a lot of these games feel much smaller than in the video, while others like skyrim feel huge but in reality are significantly smaller than Burnout Paradise? like wtf
Dr Wang ofccc also botw map is much hillier + the view distance must be shorter plus it’s art style makes it look bigger I think
No truer comment t have I ever seen
I think what would help us comprehend the sizes of these maps is to have real world cities and countries as a comparison, so that we can appreciate and learn just how large some of these maps really are.
Just look up states sizes in km ^2
Look at no man's sky Then look at a random country
I live in Paris, which is 105km2 (the city center alone). I have a good comparison in mind when I read about size maps. Sometimes it makes me laugh when I see BOTW map for example : it’s smaller than a 100km2 city, yet it’s filled with volcanos and mountains and different climates😂 I personally like to move around long distances in a game, with different vehicles. Anything under 200km2 is a waste of time for me, I will get bored.
@@user-sb8qi6db3wMy interpretation is that these worlds are significantly larger than presented, but for obvious reasons you can't create a game world where you spend 3 real world days just walking across the country lol. In-universe, Breath of the Wild's Hyrule probably is an entire country, if not an entire continent
@@itsmeike « continent » and yet it only takes 30min to cross. I wouldn’t mind a greater map size, maybe spend 2-3 hours to cross it
I wish I could re-like this video every time I re-watch it. So amazing

@@TheReptain Mobile "games" That darn word is still there.
Weird how game maps always feel so huge, almost limitless when you first play it but when you get used to it you're like "ah yes, I shall run across the whole map in ten minutes"
Skyrim be like
That’s because you usually start underequiped, underleveled, unable to quickly best obstacles, be that enemies or challenges, and you’re usually getting lots of quests and side quests, so you don’t want to leave the area for the first few hours. By the end of most games, all the challenges and activities are done, all the quests are completed, any roadblocks are gone, and most fights take a few minutes maximum, so it’s much easier to traverse and just ignore everything to get to your destination.
I just put on some tunes and ride it out, it’s not the most thrilling gameplay but traveling is a piece of the game itself and I intend to enjoy every part of it
Ye it's true but it can take weeks or months to run thru the minecraft Map and not logging off:D
Yeah. Was surprised at fall out 4 being a quarter of the size of 3. But what really got me was tscale difference between burnout and the witcher, burnout is fun but the map feels a lot smaller than the witchers map but that might be because of the speed of movement differences..
For the record, that No Man's Sky map number in words is three sextillion, one hundred and seventy quintillion SQUARED. Which is 1.00489e+45 or in long form: 1,004,890,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 which has 46 zeroes at the end. Aka a quindecillion
In short a big ass number.
@@who-ny5oe yes basically. Lol it took me and two of my friends like 4 hours to figure all that out lmao
Wish the planets had more to offer but i love the game
God, i remember waking around Guild Wars Nightfall back in the day. Took forever as you had to actually *walk* everywhere 😅
I find it’s not about the size of the map, it’s about how well-populated it is. I would take a small and intricate map over a big and empty one.
See, people always think I'm joking, but this is why I always felt of all the games I've played, Undertale felt the most alive. And I've played most of the games on this list. Not to mention Undertale isn't even a sandbox.
@@somename6955 I completely agree. Nothing makes more sick of a game quicker than an expansive open world map and massive travels between missions. Those games are the ones that people religiously use fast travel on which is a shame because the “effort” going into making the map was wasted - may as well make several different areas with load screens in between.
The world is big and empty
@@S1lverFr0sty absolutely, but a big and empty video game isn’t all that fun. Of course this depends on whether it’s a sim where sometimes that big, open and empty world adds to the fun

If anyone's curious, Elden Ring is roughly 79 square kilometers, slightly larger than BotW.
Literally looked at when this post was made while watching it to see if Elden Ring specifically would make it on here. Surprised to not see Rdr 2 on here since they had the first one, would’ve been interesting considering it’s like double the size.

@@michaelross1452 they could be a time traveler I believe
I wonder how much larger places like skyrim and fallout would be if you factored in buildings that are way larger on the inside than the outside. Or if it counted second floors because there's more liveable space there. Like nobody has ever actually calculated the total square footage of all of New York's buildings. Some really tall cities probably have more square feet of liveable space than some of the smaller states.
I can't say how grateful I am for the developers that they did a lot of work for us.❤

@@WalrusWinking they give you entertainment
@@DavidGome-sr2dc They didn't "give" me anything period. They sold me a product for money.
I think its crazy that Unity's map is the smallest on this list but feels so big and detailed when you're actually exploring it.
Player speed is very relevant in this, if your character has a slower speed or the map is packed more densely it may feel larger. Also, for cases like NMS, only a very small amount of space is actually worth visiting. In these ways, Unity may technically be small, it competes with a lot of other maps because they utilize space better
@@VertietRyper and you can enter almost every building
@@VertietRyper That's why Morrowind feels so much bigger than Skyrim lmao
@@danielgiovanniello7217 mhm but daggerfall is the biggest but daggerfall is also random generated just like minecraft also the minecraft map looks realy weird

Surprised to see some of the older games so high up. Also surprised to see the Bethesda games so small. I guess Bethesda's maps are just so full of stuff, it makes them seem bigger, as opposed to the witcher, where theres just lots and lots of trees. Very cool infographic
unfortunately ive realized bethesda makes small maps out of laziness, not out of the want to cram it with details

Honestly it feels wrong to have procedurally generated maps on this list, the other maps were hand crafted which makes there sizes an even more impressive feat.

I agree bro!
@@Versuffe It's still a PG map, you can argue that no map is ever randomly generated since a computer cannot create truly random numbers, Where minecraft uses a seed that a player puts in, and throws it in an algorithm(perlin noise) other randomly generated maps use other variables not controlled by the player such as time of day or something like that to generate. But minecrafts map generation does fall under what we call procedurally generated.
@@TheNardDog1996 Not only that, because if you go far away from your respawn point, you reach the Far Lands, a glitch because the game's doesn't understand what the hell is happening on the seed. So yeah, Minecraft doesn't count.

Other factors that come to mind as important: Size of player character relative to the units used here, Speed of the player character, density of content, Amount of map that is playable rather than "out of bounds", etc.
Absolutely however the only units calculated are player reachable places. Everything seen on the map can be reached by a player at some point
why would speed of character be important in establishing size of the map? The map would still be its size it'll just change the time of traversal. However, density of content is a great point. counting bodies of water with no POI is bullshit lol
@@BaconNDCheese I think higher player speeds can give a false sense of great density. Let's say a map is made 4x size by pure scaling without any effort and player speed is increased by 4x as well. Then the content density will feel the same while also giving a false illusion of a really big map.
This is when you start getting into special relativity, time and space relationships within the game. Einstein stuff. So really all the games should be compared relative to a unique scale per se. If he used the size the author discloses it can make these comparisons wack
Lol that has nothing to do with map size… hes comparing map size not how they actually feel..
It's interesting to see how disproportionate some maps are to others. While some games span a whole continent, another game will span a single city that is nonetheless larger than the other game's entire continent.
Yea, it makes no sense to compare map sizes from one franchise to another. For instance, it makes sense to compare GTA III to GTA San Andreas, but comparing LOTRO to GTA III... there's just no logic to it.
@@SgtGuarnereDD how does it not make sense?? are you supposed to believe that people in those continents that are the size of cities, are also giants? you know, because of proportions.
@@azzor4134 it's moreso that the physical size of a map doesn't necessarily match the size in lore- for instance skyrim would be significantly larger than any grand theft auto, lore wise
@@EmeraldCoasttt Well I mean, it and GTA V’s San Andreas (the state) could be kinda comparable, seeing as how San Andreas is basically California
…in fact, in lore Skyrim is about 105,000 square miles, whereas irl California (which San Andreas is based on) is 163,696 square miles.
It just warmed my heart to see the The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall was represented here, and still one of the largest game maps even after all these years.
how the map so large. This game is older than oblivion
I’m most amazed with Breath of the Wild. The amount of content by just walking a few minutes in this world is incredible.
Just cause 2 had a pretty big map and was my favourite game when I first started pc gaming
Just like to remind you, bigger isn’t always better. There’s no point in having a massive open world with nothing to do. Sometimes, smaller maps can be better because the content is more concentrated.
RIght like why have such a large map with nothing for you to do while exploring at least in skyrim there is random encounters and stuff that you need along the way
I agree in the general sense, but with mods I wish Skyrim had a bigger and emptier map to fit in more mods.
I felt this about AC:O, honestly. Huge and beautiful map, but a lot of it is just window dressing.
Fortunatley, minecraft has ALL of the content spread across THE ENTIRE map
Depends on the game in my opinion. Some games like Just Cause 3 are games where openness serves a purpose in making your exploration around the map a lot more fun. But then others it’s just so they can say “our map is 3x bigger than before” and get away with a boring empty map

love the way this was presented
This could be a great No Man's Sky ad if it literally zoomed out into a whole Galaxy scene
Who else kept getting surprised by how many older open world games had bigger maps than most modern ones?
Daggerfall for example was randomly generated..basically just walking on some terrain with occational trees popping up. Nothing to see. A lot of the newer games like oblivion, skyrim and probably more are handmade.
It’s because mordern games has more polished terrain than older ones, therefore it needs more time to make and time isn’t a thing you can waste in the game industry

The lord of rings being that massive is incredible for a 2007 game, also horses are too slow compared to the size and swift (instant) travel to different parts of the map unlock when you visit stables by yourself or by spending money
04:17 - Asheron's Call (1999) I don't think most people appreciate this game's Open World. There were no load screens above ground. All the cities were open to the world. If too many players were in one city they had a mechanic called a "Portal Storm" that would make random characters in town start glowing pink & be teleported a distance away into the surrounding countryside...possibly dying. You could run from one side of the map to the other nonstop without a single loadscreen. It took hours. The only fast travel was a series of SG1 type portals that sent you to certain fixed points so you had to plan your trips to include overland travel to portals. They even had a dungeon called 'The Subway' that held a bunch of portals. Most amazing MMORPG ever.

WOW !!! Amazing to see the comparison. Makes me wonder how big EVE Online, Elite Dangerous & Star Citizen would be LOL.
From No mans sky , Elite Dangerous is a 1:1 scale of the whole milky way galaxy
Yeah but the scaling is what’s important, and how effectively they fill the map. Like Dying Light 2 doesn’t feel like a MASSIVE MAP (still large) but it is filled with a lot to do, so it feels larger
It's also keeping it engaging so you don't get bored or overloaded with stuff like BotW vs Fallout 4
Minecraft’s map is actually infinitely scalable. You can change the border radius if you launch a server and change it in it’s config.
perfectly said. the scale is what is the real ratio. just like racing games. the map can be earth sized but it takes you 5 min to walk entire map. flight simulator has a true to scale.
I agree. If they made it larger it would be boring and if they made it smaller it would be on your face all the time. For the amount of activities it has, DL2's map is just the right size.
Also when it comes to raw size, the internal surface is more significant than the geographical surface. A cubic labyrinth 10km³ large filled entirely with corridors of 2x2m the map would be 2.5 million kilometers long - which is like 5 times the surface of France.
If you look closely. All of those maps are actually on the wall of Mario’s Never Ending Stair Case

I don't think GW:Nightfall map is that big. It's got some big zones, but end to end, the map isn't more than 10km. 38,500km^2 is a bit much. The zones themselves aren't more than 10 square km each. Now it would be interesting to see how big ESO's Tamriel map would rate, but they have a scale problem with some of their zones. Some don't look big, but are expansive, and others that do look big, are actually small. A GW2 Tyria map might be interesting to see in comparison, though.
I miss Ultima Online in this list... not sure how large the map is, but feels larger than some of these at least!

Agree
The ending was perfect- the whole time I was like I wonder what a no man’s sky map would look like
I was thinking that most of these maps are small, but I realised that nobody wants to spend hours on traveling during the quests. For example: RDR2 that has huge and beautiful map and landscapes had some negative opinions that traveling is through the map is quite tiring (for me personally that is sometimes true, especially carring hunted animals). Just think about it - if we have map 30km long, and our character moving about 10 km/h, going across whole map in striaght way take us 3h, but in most of cases there are mountains, rivers etc. so our path isn't straight. I mean - huge map is a lot of fun, but in most of games is totally unnecessary, and generate more costs for producents, and a lot of frustration for some players (especially if you have to repeat few times a mission where you can't avoid long travels...). So bigger map doesn't mean better game.
Alot of these “large” maps are not scaled properly and are largely water. (Yes I understand some games like AC-Black Flag you have water travel capabilities).

@@TigaToonsELTiagor If you call that tiny clearly you haven't played the early version(s) of pocket edition where the world is 200 by 200 blocks maximum
Hahahahah
It would be good to give not only km 2 but also Gb memory map to make a better comparision, and dont forget to start with old map of spectrum games or amiga.
Actually, it's not the size that matters. The important thing is how interesting a map is and how interesting you can spend your time travelling the map. For example, although, GTA San Andreas' map is way smaller than GTAV's map, almost every part of it is special and used in missions, when in GTAV the map is mostly a desert, where there is nothing to do and no mission takes place there.
While this is very interesting to see, there's so many factors to also consider. How much of a map is just barren desert or sea, how much of a map is actually populated with things to do. How much of a map you can actually traverse.
In all of ubisoft’s open world games it feels so dry and empty. Just a bunch of pointless space with nothing in it, especially when you progress further in the game
@@tradeka4206 I really liked the Wildlands map though. The missions became bland and repetitive but the map was varied and beautiful. They built the game around the map which was why Breakpoint was such a disappointment, being a map built around a game… an unimaginative and boring game.
Hitting that right balance of proper map population must be tough. A lot of these bigger maps are simply empty - not only of things to do, but even empty of interesting things to look at/explore. On the other hand, some of the smaller maps feel too crammed with locations, quests, and random encounters. Skyrim, for example, may be fun, but to me it feels too crammed to come across as a believable world and feels more game-y for it.
This is why TES Daggerfall is a bit underwhelming. The thousands of cities in the game are many real life hours apart but they all look Very similar, aside from being in the desert, a forest or a Dense Forest and the things you actually do in these various cities are also more or less the same.
Facts, so many of these games I love turn out to be really small in terms of map size but then I realized, oh wait I can actually do more than 2 things for every square mile.
It is also about how much of the map is worth exploring: how detail rich the environment is, how many treasures and hidden items are worth finding, also there is the vertical aspect which platform heavy games greatly benefit from and that you will not find in games like Operation Flashpoint or Test Drive Unlimited.
Yea many of the maps here included tons of water with nothing on it and No Man's Sky is probably including the mostly empty universe
and the genre of the game
How much of that space in Minecraft actually has new things to find and do before it gets repetitive? How much of that map will you actually explore in survival?
Yeah, that’s the problem. You can have a massive map, but if there isn’t anything to do or interact with… then it sucks and gets repetitive. For example, The Witcher III has a massive map and lots of things to do, hence why it got game of the year. Far Cry 2, on the other hand, has very little to do outside of getting ambushed in Africa
Exactly. Kingdom Come Deliverance feels massive due to its level of detail.
Dang!!!! Funny thing i was playing nms just right now and didnt expect to it here!!!!
This might be the greatest video ever created
I find it funny how despite Skyrim and Daggerfall looking about the same size in official maps, they are extremely differently sized in the games.
In the lore they are about the same size for example someone mentions that whiterun is about a day away from riverwood but in game it is basically just around the corner, they scale the map down for pacing.
If you play daggerfall, you'll know that moving between towns only a pixel or two apart from eachother takes about 10 minutes, even on horseback.
@@pyroparagon8945 yeah in Skyrim running from one corner of the map to the other takes 10-15 minutes so long as you don't get interrupted.
@@heavenlysteel8337 you'd have to test at a constant speed to be fair, in Skyrim you have to sprint and take breaks to regen stam, but in fallout 3 you always move at a strangely fast jog.
@@pyroparagon8945 was that fun or more anoying? That you had to run so much in daggerfall
When I saw burnout paradise's map I first thought "no way, it feels smaller than skyrim!" then I remembered you're in a car and not on foot lol.
Yeah, that surprised me. Usually I get lap the game world several times in a half hour, it feels so small.
That's because this video is wrong. The burnout paradise map propably isn't even 10% of what is claimed here. Some of these were taken straight from that garbage "Large video game worlds" image.
That's because it is smaller, the actual map of Paradise is way different to the actual game. The map in this video was a early version, 12 months before the game was finished
@@blanket444 That’s cool. Is the map accessible? How complete is it?
@@michaelh404 I'm not sure, the airport to the right got turned into Big Surf Island. This vid is the first I've heard of their being a bigger up
Honestly thia muaic got me relaxed and im fried 😂😂
It's amazing to me because RuneScape has a map size of apx 4.1 km^2 (not including undergrounds), but feels bigger than some of these other games I've played.
i love how the bethesda game's maps only got bigger the further back you went
That's because the older games are big empty spaces. The newer games are small but are dense and full of stuff to do.
@@Scionilex317 yeah but it kinda loses its fun when each time you walk for a minute you discover something, It's cooler when the map is larger and you find something
The reason why dagger fall is big is because it's mostly randomly generated villages and such
@@Scionilex317 HAHAHAHAHHA ever played fallout 4 ? xD
@@Kiwoeoe we're talking about elder scrolls. What the hell does fallout have to do with this?
It's weird to think Skyrim and San Andreas are so similar in size - Skyrim feels so much larger, but I suppose as others have pointed out it's about the speed you move through the map. Planes and cars versus horseback at best.
What's weird is that Fallout 4 is supposedly smaller than Vice City
@@zenmonk5403 traveling across fo4 without fast travel is agony
To add to that: Skyrim is really well designed in terms of where you need to walk to reach certain locations, it's impossible to walk between most settlements in a straight line due to the geography. Thus traveled distance and time increases :)
Well, you can fly on DRAGONS! But, you can't control them :(
@@jappleng8283 i ride thanos car, or tommy wisso, get on my level u peasant.
Other games: haha i have one of the biggest maps ever Minecraft: imma destroy this whole man's career

The whole video i was like: - i've played that game - i love that game - i know that game . . . - Never heard of that one - when did that one came out? - is that even a game?
-i want that game
-Why is that game even a thing?
"wait that game is actually THAT big?!"
- 1:28 is that a game map or a hacker's desktop?

Me waiting for Minecraft: “AND THERE IT IS! THE BIGGE- oh shit forgot about No Man’s Sky.
Aznponie12 just found out about no mans sky having the biggest map
@@jfkshotfirst4686 yes
Aznponie12 pretty sure Elite Dangerous is bigger
@baileysmithful You can say the same for Minecraft. The maps are only limited by the hardware's and/or software's limitations. Short version is that floating points eventually cause bugs.
@baileysmithful technically you can map it. It is procedurally generated, but from the same sees number it alwaYs generates the same map.
Wow, it's interesting how some of these older games have bigger maps than some newer games, but it looks like it depends on the processing and graphical limitations and art styles used in them too. Like you can have a very simple shaded art style which doesn't use a lot of processing and lets you make a massive world mad, or what some of these games so, just go up the butt with a super realistic art style that just starts eating your processing power at an absurd rate.
These maps should be based on a player actually moving there and not having loading screens to teleport them
I was thinking the entire time, “how will he show Minecraft it’s infinite,” and then you managed to show the entire thing which blew my mind away!
I Love your hardcore videos on Minecraft
Well yeah, of course it can’t be infinite, having a game with a truly infinite map would be impossible, I see what you’re saying though
One single seed can be this big? Arn't there chunk restrictions?
@@HowIamDriving this is the maximum world size. Every seed places you somewhere on this map. Since the full Minecraft map is so large that it might as well be infinite, the likelihood of you spawning in the same place or even seeing the same place twice is basically zero. What’s crazy to me is that the 3rd largest game map on here, Daggerfall, is from 1996. Whereas Minecraft and No Man’s Sky are much newer
@@yvngp00t96 In that case the comparison is not fair. You can't walk from on end to another of that map.
This comment section: "Water should not count as map area" No man´s sky: Has 99,9% of map made of empty space. BTW, No man´s sky ir really dope now

A bit disappointed Elder Scrolls Arena wasn't featured, as fast travel is mandatory because walking between cities would take literal days IRL.
Like your editing 😊
Some of the biggest are mostly sea or unexplorable zones -.-

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it a ps2 game? I didn’t think it was that big

mat scratt That was the N64 game
To put into context, no man's sky has 256 galaxies all of which are around 6-7 times larger than the milky way and seeing as galaxies are very distanced, the no man's sky map is probably the size of a few superclusters
