Games With The Best Draw Distance (56k)

Post pictures of game that have great draw distance.

Just Cause

Dragon Rising had nice draw distance. Only really impressive aspect of that game, in fact.

Doesn't Fuel have a humongous draw distance? Never played it but I know it set a world record for largest game world.bobbetybob

This was quite good though a bit choppy when playing.

But this one seems incredible. :D

Gonna have to say Tribes.. I couldn't find any good pics of it, but if you could see the terrain, you were able to see the enemy.

Kameo still impreses me till this day

These screens arent very good representations. Theres also Blue Dragon which i thought had good draw distance.

Majoras Mask, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess were all very good especially considering the hardware. The jump from the draw distance in OOT to MM was almost a generation leap.

What do you need Draw Distance for? All you need to do is include some boobs and no gamer is going to care what's behind it or how many trees you can see in the distance.

brb, my nose started bleeding again.

Ace combat 6

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, ArmA II and the PC version of Fallout 3 come to mind. I hope Just Cause 2 will impress regarding draw distance, too. :)

Also your sig reminded me of my #1 sandbox game on my list. :d

Eh, it was not too great on consoles. On PC, sure, depending on the settings.

I can't believe no one has mentioned the Uncharted series. Easily the best IMO.

I can't find a picture of chapter 2's city but look from the top of that building and you will be amazed! It's gorgeous!

Arma 2 has amazing draw distances, which are actually needed too be effective too...alextherussian

ArmA2 has the worst draw distances in the series... You have 10 km draw distance for terain but only something like 2 km for evreything else...

Going full speed with a ground attack aircraft, skimming over terrain and then not seeing anything till the last few seconds isnt much fun =(. Also it pissed me off that the AI had a detect distance of more then 2 km... So at times i'd get attacked by stuff that i couldnt see.

And the final nail in the coffin was that the grass draw distance was a joke... You couldnt hide as a sniper in anything cuz you might be hiding in grass, but you'r still completley exposed at any kind of real combat range.

ArmA 1 and OFP:CWC had way better draw distances.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 has probably one of the biggest draw distances on the consoles right now. Its practicaly infinate in the MP demo. Tho again, draw distance for characters is probably round 1- 1,5 km (pure guesstimation)

STALKER games have preaty nice draw distances too.

Tribes 1 had awsome draw distances for its day.

This imo this has the greatest draw distance. Two weeks it will be mine.:) Oh i have a slim btw i don't have any problems;)

This is the best picture I could find, but I was always impressed by SMG's draw distances.

Thats just a skybox

Demon's Souls have a great draw distance, I hope I could play a similar game on PC :(

These pictures don't do the game justice, there is this view in the first level, the castle, where you get to see the gate & the castle from a great distance before fighting with the knight with the long sword(forgot the name). Awesome view! couldn't find a picture of it though.

"Draw distance is a computer graphics term, defined as the distance in a three dimensional scene that is still drawn by the rendering engine. Polygons that lie behind the draw distance won't be drawn to the screen.

ARMA2, Crysis, Uncharted2

[QUOTE="LookAnDrolL"]You people don't have a clue about what draw distance really means.... It doesn't matter if the game shows some sky box and 2d mountains in the background, the draw distance its about PLAYABLE TERRAIN Crysis and Far Cry 2 on PC excels at thisinertk

Well actually he is right. Maybe not in a strict sense, but to show off draw distance you need to be in some point distant to the object, and in another point be really close to it. Other wise it could be some trick like sky box or small objects that only will be rendered in one exclusive or are actually low quality but to small to notice or some other trick. You almost always need a sandbox game or a game with an open world for this.

That was fixed in one of the beta patches.

[60522] Improved: Longer view distance for objects when high view distance is used.

You can now see objects as far as the view distance is set. But the VD in these games is not in one direction, it's a circle with the player in the middle and you will be able to see about 5km in each direction with the VD set to 10km.

By the way, Fallout 3 has nice draw distance. I found these from another thread about draw distance.

Lol i just remembered, some 3D RTS games have infinite view distance.

I can't believe no one has mentioned the Uncharted series. Easily the best IMO.

I know what you're talking about! It's amazing.

Heavenly Sword.

I'll have fun and say SPORE. because you can zoom out a whole lot and those creatures get smaller and smaller.
