3 greatest game environments ever

the pillar of autumn was great, and first stepping on halo was OMG, and bioshocks rapture, BEUTIFUL, and all th emass effect worlds, and kotors korriban,

Hyrule Field but I also enjoyed tearing around Nippon and the other environments in Okami. The only game I've played where the pop seemed nearly necessary.

Shalebridge Cradle from Thief Deadly Shadows is the best.

The beaches of DOAX, of course :P

San Andreas by far in the world of all things GTA.

Shalebridge Cradle from Thief Deadly Shadows is the best.

Hakkai007

Cyrodill in Oblivion, Village in RE4,Traverse Town in KH, and all 3 or 4 hours in Fatal Frame II.Mr_Cumberdale

Doom : Hell - no one beats that.

Metroid Prime games have amazing environments

The Zone is the best.

No particular order.

- Rapture (Bioshock. Obvious choice)

- Ishimura (Dead Space. Creepy)

- WoW: Zangarmarsh

Honorable mentions are WoW: Durotar, Barrens, Ashenvale, Feralas, Ungoro Crater, Darkwood, Stranglethorn Vale, Grizzly Hills & Sholozar Basin. Especially with some mellow music, used to relax me after school/work just killing time in those places.

Clock Town.

Talon IV from Metroid Prime was excellent.

these are my 3 greatest game enviroments

1. Capital Wasteland in Fallout 3

2. Albion in Fable 2

3. The Enviroments in the force unleashed

The Halo.

Balamb Garden from Final Fantasy VIII. It was a school and really felt like it. Complete with a cafeteria, library, training area, your own room etc etc. Words can't describe how campy this place felt. And an excellent theme song that matched it perfectly to boot. Oh did I mention the thing can fly?

5. MGS 4
4. Far Cry 2
3. Batman AA
2. Borderlands
1. Bioshock

My favorite is probably the combined universe of Mass Effect.

psn8214

this for sure.

Rapture is also really immersive.

Uncharted 2's Tibet scenes were just jaw dropping.

Resistance 2 mission where your going through suburbia (that part always gets me... just wow.... creepy and cool)

Renaissance Italy in Assassin's Creed 2

Arkham Asylum in Batman Arkham

Capitol Wasteland in Fallout 3

those come to mind of worlds you can go through and i just lose myself in them.

venice Italy - assisin Creed 2

the village - Resident evil 4

Hyrule - LoZ

Radiant Garden,timeless river and other worlds - Kingdom Hearts 2

San Andreas - GTA

the Bowser Body- M&L: Bowser inside History

soo many world - Metroid Prime saga especially echos and corruption

Spargus City- Jak2 and 3

The Dolfino Isliand - Mario sunchine

Showdow Moses- MGS1 and 4

My top 3 picks are probably..hm..

Omega on me2.

Rapture

Acre(sp?) in assassins creed 1

And, top 4 actually :P

Tanker in mgs2.

..Top 5, Uga world in conkers bad fur day. Ok, that about wraps it up :)

Also the whole Shibuya district in World Ends With You.

there just a lot of various sort of places that if done right, i just lose myself in them.

even more so THEN games with game mechanics that i like (Super Mario World and Final Fantasy 13 for example...)

I really liked the Wasteland in Fallout 3. It was so eerily beautiful.

Morrowind

Acre- AC1

Jeruslam- AC1

Rome Total war Battle maps (preferably ones in aegypticus, or Germania)

Ice Cap Zone act 1&2- Sonic 3

(and hopefully someday, a game set in Constantinople, preferablyaround 11th century, or 9th century)

For me, it will definitely be Red Dead Redemption's open world.

If I had to do a top 5 it would be

1.TallonIV: It is excellent to see that all the detail and amazing attention to detail in this world. It sucks you in.

2.Hyrule Field:From Ocarina of Time it feels like the world has been brought to life and it showed beautifully in this game every character had a personality.

3.Shadow Moses: Come the first time playing Metal Gear Solid you can't argue at its brilliance and you go back there in number 4.

4.Racoon City: Resident Evil 2 and 3 were incredible games you just blew zombies up and weird creatures attacking you and when Nemesis was on your tail too.

5.Mushroom Kingdom: It wouldn't be complete without the Mushroom Kingdom but it is magical like the series and shows off its charm like most 2D and 3D Mario titles and even in the Mario Kart games

Oooh, this should be a fun thread.

There are so many. Hyrule field, awesome. Same goes to Liberty City and Shadow Moses Island.

Also, wherever Resident Evil 4 is set.

rapture is just ****ing great.

Also the wasteland in fallout 3, even though it was simple it felt real.

rapture is awsome.

why isn't the capitol wasteland in the list?
