I've got Just Cause 2 and whilst it isn't a great game the map is indeed humongous. It takes about 10 minutes to fly from one end to the other.

Also, any idea how big the new GTA5 map will be in relation to any of these?

Apparently it's going to be bigger than GTA4, San Andreas and Red Dead Redemption combined!

If you're into open world, survival games relying on emergent gameplay and player interaction rather than Hollywood set pieces and narrative then it could be the game for you.

Been playing it for a while now - looking forward to the standalone coming out.

I'm currently the grizzled, vet that has a tent full of AKs and DMRs, who spends most of their time finding newbs and giving them full gear. Usually end up with an axe to the head like, but it's all fun.

By the way, Chernarus - DayZ's main map - is 225km2. Pretty damn big.

I've been wanting to play this since you first mentioned it on here, it looks sensational.

Unfortunately I've not got a PC good enough to run it and nor will I be getting one any time soon.

Damn.

Christ that'll be big. I was worried that they'd make it a little smaller because of the added detail or something.

I can't wait for it.

That might interest some of you.

Surprised how small Oblivion is compared to the others. Absolutely loved that game.

I can't get my head around the map on Oblivion 2 being 62,000 mi2. I've just done a bit of research and unless I've made a daft mistake that's over half the size of Italy.

That can't be right, surely?

Oblivion 2 ?

Oblivion 2 ?

Look at the other map sizes on the bottom right of the picture, whatever that game is at the bottom.

Ohh Daggerfall. Yeah, that's a real map size.

Daggerfall used randomly generated maps though, not actual designed areas. Lot easier to make a big map that way (but theres a lot of repetitive and boring landscape).

Sorry, it's Elder Scrolls 2: Dagger fall.

Ah right. I thought something like that would be the case, It would take a little while to design otherwise! I don't play games like this but I was staggered by that then, I also got my maths a bit wrong and it's bigger than I worked out, it's around the same size as New Zealand FFS!

Completed far cry, bit of a silly story and quite short. Good though.

Few games give me continual joy...this be one.

Watch Dogs (On the last page) is my leader for GOTY.

GTA Is going to be amazing though and Fallout 4 has just been teased. **** yes.

Am I the only person who finds Far Cry 3 boring as hell? I can understand why it got good reviews and all, but after every mission I get bored and switch off and don't play it for days.
