So Red Dead Redemption has the biggest world in a video game?

I've heard it's fairly larger than San Andread, and SA was already HUGE. Is RDR going to have the biggest world in a video game?

The Elder Scrolls Arena is the largest I can think of. There were games before 2004, you know..

Wasn't Arena's world bigger than Daggerfall's?

Well we saw yesterdau that JC2 is 32 times bigger than SA, so how big is RDR compared to SA? Do we have a virtual square mile number?

One has to wonder wether the work that goes into making the world as large as in Just Cause 2 doesn't go to waste. In other words, how necessary/usefull is it to have such a large world? Isn't it just one big waste of resources/time?

Not even close, Daggerfall was literally close to the size of Great Britain.:shock:

If you played Fuel or San Andreas or Just Cause 2, here is an accurate depiction of Daggerfall's size:

Game looks incredibly cliche to me, from the scenery to the characters. I'll still end up buying it, probably, but I gotta bad feelin' about it...

As for RDR it looks amazing.. I plan on doing it all on foot/horse rather then train. :)

I can't imagine it being larger than Just Cause 2. Regardless, the game is looking phenomenal and is my next day one purchase.

I would believe Second Life has the biggest "world".

arma 2 is bigger

One of the reasons Daggerfall is so huge is that it's randomized and much of the game is duplicated. You also had a ton of duplicate NPC's and a handful of unique NPC's (which sometimes looked like the rest of the herd). Also most of the side quests were very similar (ie go to dungeon & kill so and so, then return). If they could only perfect that randomization engine, optimize the Fallout 3 engine and place it in the setting of Daggerfall the game would be legendary.

just cause 2 is the biggestG-O-M-J

Thats true. BUT RDRs world is a fully dynamic world with an eco-system and everthing so its more "THE MOST DETAILED SANDBOX" ever game

Daggerfall had a huge gameworld.

Tho it was mostly randomly generated.

So far, Just Cause 2 should have the 1st place for big world. We'll see 'bout redemption. it's not hard to make a huge desert tho...Crimsader

BUT most of Just Cause 2's map is just mountain terrain with nothing but roads and not much to do. In RDR you actually have many different live cities with NPC's revolving around their own lives and there is tons of stuff to do out in the deserts.

arma 2 is bigger

Its only like 86 square miles, if RDR is 2 times bigger then SA it's gonna come close to 100 sq miles.

World of warcraft wins bye.LenGen

Not much to do? There are missions, races, villages to be destroyed, bases, ect scattered all through the mountains. Hell all over the entire map for that matter. Of course the towns and NPCs are going to be more lively in RDR, but saying that there is nothing to do in JC2 is flat out wrong. The game is packed with things to do (and find) all over the map.

lol flight simulator wins:P

Test Drive Unlimited was literally Oahu. How's that compared to other games?

EDIT: Eh, not even close, but being a real place is pretty cool.

lol flight simulator wins:P

hungry_pirate

There is no denying that :D it literally the whole world

Daggerfall looks huge but random generation for some of the world might make it a bit unfair to add it in. As it stands, RDR was called biggest for a Rockstar game, not biggest overall. JC2 takes that, followed by Fuel than Daggerfall.

EDIT: I meant Daggerfall was biggest, then Fuel than JC2.

You can use DaggerXL to run Daggerfall on modern systems, but it's still on early development. It's not possible to create characters and interact with NPCs yet.

Or you can just download a DOS emulator..
