The Size of Open World Games Compared A new comparative map shows the scale of some of the biggest and most open world games around to find how many Fallout 4 maps you’d have to walk to get to the other side of the universe in No Man’s Sky. While even the smallest is a far cry from shooters like Call of Duty, No Man’s Sky is so colossal in scope that the others pale in comparison; it’s over 7.925×1019 times bigger than Just Cause 3, the next biggest game included.

No Man’s Sky – No Man’s Sky’s big marketing point was how large and infinitely explorable its universe was. While that wasn’t a lie, hype died and critics fell upon the game for its lack of anything to do, in the 31,700,000,000,000,000,000,000 square miles of planet surface it encompasses. Just Cause 3 – It’s not quite as big as No Man’s Sky – only 400 square miles – but there’s much more scope for mayhem and wandering, with a wider range of vehicles, grappling hooks, and explosions to propel you across the islands. The Witcher III: Wild Hunt – Game of the Year 2015 winner from multiple outlets, The Witcher offers 52 square miles of places to go, but it’s the 100 hours of content that really makes it feel huge – only 27% of players who own the game have finished it. Grand Theft Auto V – at 49 square miles, GTA V is a big map, though it can feel similar in size to some of the smaller options due to the wide array of fast-moving vehicles players can use to get from one side to the other (and to get away from police in hot pursuit). The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – The most recent release on the list, Breath of the Wild has a map with 23.5 square miles of adventure, secrets, and new experiences in the Legend of Zelda franchise.

How much of the GTA 5 map is real?

We’ve been looking over a number of American cities, seeing how good a map for GTA VI they might make if adapted by Rockstar, however GTA V’s map also poses a question of how liberal the devs were with their adaptation. Barring a single foray into the UK, the GTA series has always taken place in an alternate version of the United States of America. While obviously copying an entire city into a video game is completely nonviable, leading to certain differences, fans have put together some IRL GTA fan videos in Los Angeles where landmarks that are also present in the game appear prominently. GTA V’s Los Santos, which previously appeared in San Andreas, is based on the real city of Los Angeles, California. Rockstar has even allegedly tried to model Los Santos’ street layout based on LA, but clearly on a much more compressed scale. This poses the question many fans living elsewhere have asked: could one navigate Los Angeles based solely on knowledge of the city gained from GTA V? Unfortunately, as cool as that would be, no.

• Several Los Angeles locals who also happen to be fans of GTA V shared their thoughts on this in a Reddit thread asking the same question.
• The game is much more scaled down than the real place, so all of the roads are definitely not there, and neither are many many places.
• You also have to understand that it is a game, so taking note on the general grid layout of LA streets, Rockstar did in the end design the roads to fit their game,

Several discrepancies arise, many of which perfectly model the difference between GTA V’s Los Santos and Los Angeles. For example, one can see the Observatory from LSIA in game – in real life, the observatory is over an hour from the airport and there is no one it would be visible.

1. There are significantly more streets in LA than what LS depicts.
2. Not only are the existing ones longer and possibly different, but countless thousands of smaller paths litter the massive city of Los Angeles that never could fit into a video game.
3. While the main roads and some major landmarks along them may be in the same place, GTA V’s city is very much a fictitious one.

Even so, some similarities in street layout cannot be denied. Rockstar did pay attention to keeping the major roads, highways and rough relative locations of recognizable landmarks in the same place as in real life. If nothing else, a tourist will indeed know the rough direction in which to go based on knowledge of GTA V’s map.
