Biggest Map???

[Commando Quackers]

Tally ho,

I was reading the store page and i seen this.
"The biggest, most dynamic and most diverse open world ever created and now packed with layers of new detail"

Okay i get some points but the biggest PAHAHAHHAAHAHHAAH is this in gta world or againest other games too because "The Crew" takes 90mins to get from one side of the map to the other.

Good Luck beating that rockstar pahhahahhaha

Pfft, Daggerfall's world was half the size of Great Britain.

Correct, and damn straight. People were mentioning Daggerfall earlier, but the game was brushed off due to the terrain being randomly generated, like Minecraft. The game itself is 161,600 km² (62,394 square miles). It may not have been the size of Great Britan like Bethesda originally stated, but it was well over half the size of Great Britan. Morrowind being about 0.01% of Daggerfall's size. Along with all of the large maps in this thread being put to shame. Although, most people don't count Daggerfall, since the terrain was randomly generated. Nonetheless, impressive and phenominal.

But he said exactly that Daggerfall's world is half-size of GB.

They mean obviously what THEY have created so far. This is the biggest map ever made by Rockstar and not of all games.

They never said that, and it wasn't really implied either.

Are you talking about the guy I replied to or Bethesda? I know what that guy said. I was talking about Bethesda. They claimed the scale of Daggerfall was the size of Great Britan, but it was actually just a bit over half the size of Great Britan. Well, it's not that it actually matters really. But it's not half, or the size of Great Britain, more in the middle. I was just agreeing with him. I happened to mention that.

Something to take into consideration when talking about a map involving GTA games is that in most of the games the map doesn't end at the end of the island because you use boats to get farther away that the land mass permits. You also have to think about the fact that the gamer has the ability to fly airplanes to really high altitudes keeping in mind the scale size the game is made at.

My opinios is that thte game might have the largest map because I believe that any point in which the charater can travel in the game is part of the map.

P.S. I know I might be wrong, if so then just correct me on the points in wrong. Also if you agree cool, if you don't agree just comment what you believe there is no need to argue or attack me.

The game does not have anywhere near the largest land mass of all the games. Compared to other games, GTA 5's map is like taking a leak in the ocean. It's tiny.

To put it in perspective:

This is GTA 5's map size relative to Just Cause 2's map size:

And this is just cause 2's map size relative to other games:

So it's actually quite small, relatively.

"The biggest, most dynamic and most diverse open world ever created"

It's not about size. It actually is the biggest and most dynamic world ever created because there is always something happening in every part of San Andreas.

Take a look at JC2 or Arma 3. They're 90% empty. Neither of them feel like a real world environment. It's not about quantity, it's quality, and Rockstar are the only developers who sucessfully recreate a living and breathing environment.

Not to mention; Leslie Benzies already confirmed eventually the map is going to continually expand for as long as GTA: Online is popular. Within the next year or so you can bet that Liberty City, San Fierro or Las Venturas will be somehow accessable.

It's definitely not the biggest map ever created but I would rather have a small and alive map than 100 times bigger one which is nothing but plain deserts and forests like in F.U.E.L

you're a dumbass

[datæ]

literally it's not the biggest map, you're right. It is big, maybe not biggest, but it is indeed pretty big.
The whole point of why they say "most largest map" is due to the fact that it's not a desert. It's filled with plenty of details everywhere
