The Real Size Comparison

[King DaMuncha]

Get your rulers out. Its a ♥♥♥♥ measuring contest.

Oahu: 1545 km²
Hawaii: 28311 km²
Hong Kong Island: 78.59 km²

Brace your selves for disapointment. Thats not even close.

The last race in the TDU2 championships had you rice arround the circumference of the map(s) in your fastest car. I think it took me about 48 mins to race around the whole Oahu map. TDUSC wont even take me 5 minutes.

Where did you get that? You sure you're not confusing it with sq. miles measurement of Hong Kong Island?

If your point is that TDUSC will have a much smaller map than TDU2, then yes, absolutely. We found that out last year and a lot of people were disappointed.

[King DaMuncha]

I googled it. Ok it was miles.

[Occasional Gamer]

Already known for quite a while now. It was my first red flag. Housing gone through second one. NFS style racing with gangs the third one. 3 Strikes and the game is out.

[King DaMuncha]

I'll wait for reviews. Its looking way too arcadey as it is now.

I'm assuming you're referring to the map size and no the real life size, Hong Kong IRL is about 1100 km squared.

The real life map is 426 square miles and their in-game map is 30 square miles. The in-game map is similar to what Sleeping Dogs had which they dropped the ball on their game engine. If it was Unreal Engine, it's possible to have a real life map of Hong Kong if it takes the size that big.

He's referring to the real life size. The game is set only on Hong Kong Island which is only a part of Hong Kong.

The game isn't in all of Hong Kong, it's Hong Kong Island only... only a few square miles.

I didn't know that.

Ok, um, yeah wow... no words.

I am not THAT worried about the map size anymore. Could play Crew Motorfest and checked the map. I had high hopes as it went back to the OG map of TDU but I should have known when Ubisoft is involved.
Remember the "1 hour" race in TDU? With a really fast car you could finish the race in about 40-50 min? Can't completely remember. Anyway I drove around the island in Motorfest and it only took me 20 min. So O'ahu is scaled down quiet a bit.

Knowing that I rather take a 1 to 1 scale smaller map like TDUSC instead of a scaled down map where you just feel it's not the size it should be. At least I am not that disapointed anymore as I was before. Still having some more places to drive around would've been nice.

I've seen other games claim 1 on 1 maps, but in reality they aren't, they're still converted to game 'measurements'. Anyway driving 80 km in my real car takes about an hour with speed limits. But... I'm not going to drive my real car in the game (actually I could since it might be in the game), I don't have to stick to speed limits. We'll see soon enough what beta people will report back.

Thats what I was worried about in Stalker2. For Stalker 2 the whole Zone is being included rather than dividing it into separate maps like the previous games. GSC gameworld said them selves that they had to scale it down a bit to make it fun as there would be alot of empty space between the city of Prypiat and everything surrounding it. So I did the measurements with google maps and the real exclusion zone distance from the small town where the cordon would be to the north river is 12km and on the leaked map in game its 8km. so even at 64km2 thats still pretty big to be travelling the whole map on foot. Though the CNPP is 1:1 scale and looks huge on the leaked map.

On foot 64km2 is plenty. By car, too little and TDUSC will only be 80 something km2.

Damn, that's extremely disappointing and unexpected. Didn't they have a huge map in TC1/2?

Yeah but that was back when devs still had ambition.
