3 greatest game environments ever

Mine are:

3. Hyrule Field (Ocarina of Time)

2. Rapture

1. Liberty City (GTAIV version of course)

What are your choices?

BTW, I wish I could put more options in the poll.

Its not the greatest ever, but I really liked Africa in Far Cry 2.

1. the jungles of MGS3, an enviorment that was beautiful, detailed, and functional, which I wish would be recreated on a greater scale with this current generation of consoles. no such luck though.

2. Highway 17 from Half-life 2, a bleak and eerie enviorment, with some optional stop-overs and fun set-pieces.

My favorite is probably the combined universe of Mass Effect.

The Capital Wasteland

San Andreas

Hyrule Field (basically the whole environment from OoT)

Alien ship in Crysis.

Exterior of the Citadel in Mass Effect.

Aiur in Starcraft.

That's all I can think of right now, I'm sure I'd think of more if I had played the games any time recently.

Vice City was pretty swell.

I wonder what a non-80s Vice City would be like. Probably not as good.

TallonIV from Metroid Prime is my favourite.

The constanly moving enviroment in UC2 train level was epic for me..

uhh cant think of any other atm will edit later...

1. Rapture

2. Most of the Environments in Mirrors Edge

3. Ishimura from Dead Space

I also like the look of the Mass Effect environments

Azeroth, Vice City, and Tamriel.

The Mushroom Kingdom.

It's just classic.

Am I the only one who doesnt like rapture? I mean half way though bioshock 1 I was just completely and utterly sick of it. And even more so in bioshock 2 I dont even wanna be in the same room when my brother plays it im just so done with it

1. Re Mansion

2.Deck 16 (UT has to possibly be the best designed map in the history of games)

3.Vice City

Ivalice is simply beautiful.

My favorite is probably the combined universe of Mass Effect.

Phendrana Drifts - Metroid Prime.

1. Liberty City (GTA IV). It was very real feeling and fun to mess around in.

2. Black Mesa (Half-Life). I know people always give it to HL2 and City 17 for its dystopic feel, but BM was a harrowing and dark place to explore. Coupled with the death and aliens everywhere, I really felt for my survival.

3. The USG Ishimura (Dead Space). Pretty damn freaky. Thats all I can say.

The Zone in STALKER

The Zone in STALKER

How could I forget the Zone? That's probably my number two.

easily Rapture imo

i'd say it's the best video game location of the last decade

1) STALKER: outdoors;Brutal dark, damp and unforgiving, it is an envioment, that will kill you by itself if it has to, no enemies needed. It is moody, but also oddly enought one of the envioments that felt most alive.

2) Syndicate: Urban areas; Dark cyberpunk urban envioments, soulless, cold, nobody would ever care about anyone, An invioment I always loved, be it in animes games, or books.

3) Shadow of the Colossus (any envioment in that game really); green, beautiful, but somehow void of life, lonely isolated despite being open, remarkable feat to pull off when you think about it.

easily Rapture imo

i'd say it's the best video game location of the last decade

Yup. Rapture is Badass. It'a like Atlantis on drugs in the 50's gone to ****.

Mgs 3s jungle was the best ever imoSolid_Tango

have to agree, super epic and not over shadowed by anything I've seen this gen regardless of the gfx upgrade of the current gen consoles

My favorite is probably the combined universe of Mass Effect.

Vice City

The zone from S.T.A.L.K.E.R, combine hunger, radiation, bandits, mutants and creepy sounds, and dark nights that are REALLY dark along with wet surfaces and awesome lighting effects, and you've got something bordering up to being survival horror

I'm into elemental environments (Lava, Ice, Water etc.)

Naturally, I like Metroid, Mario, Zelda environments. Also I like futuristic metallic / glass environments such as the first area in Prime 3.

I don't like dark themes (Horror games), old fashioned (Bioshock, although the atmosphere is cool)

The Blade Runner Lite world of Nomad Soul, the world of Deus Ex, The Star Light Zone, Granseal, all notable.

But just Rapture.

Vice City :D

i would say vice city because the 80s theme in that game was done great and then san andreas because the 90s theme in that game was also done great but also i would have to say demons souls

City 17

Empire City

Capital Wasteland

Omega

Rapture

Imperial City

Rivet City

Solana Galaxy

Vecta

3. Monument Valley - Motorstorm

2. Rapture - Bioshock

1. The Milky Way Galaxy - Mass Effect

Everything about Crysis was fantastic,

Rapture for sure,

The sheer bleakness of Fallout,

and Halo.

Oh yeah, the school in FEAR 2 and the lodge in Condemned 2.
