The image is in URL tags because it is pretty large

Little discrepancies would be the scaling imo... WoW is probably WAY bigger than BoP, which is probably similar in size to one of the GTA SA Islands.

Glad TDU and Fuel are up there though Racing games ftw Also, technicality being that Spore has the largest map in any game EVER, being the size of a total galaxy.

Seen this doing the rounds lately, here's the bigger one http://i.imgur.com/xJU7Q.jpg

I agree that Burnout is faaar too large, though. And WoW is possibly too small, though I think that is just WoW original and not any of the expansions.

one edge of the fuel map goes from derby to just outside of Gloucester, that's if the scale on those images is to be believed

saw it on kotaku first >.> lol

also feels wired one just cause running around an island and thinking, hmm i just ran around the equivilent of Vice city .....and there is still mroe to see.

How big is EQ2? lul

tbh they say guild wars night fall is huge, but it was largely instances and insta travel not fluid game world.

I think SW:TOR will be the biggest ever.

Nah, there's Eve-O

Space is a big place.

Technically, you cannot measure space can you?
To get to each axis/point, it would just expand and we have no means of measuring it (Lasers would be the best option, and it would take a very long time to get to another point in space).

lol well after tyranis comes out 1 planet alone will be bigger maped area than any other game lol let alone when u think thwere are thousands of systems containing thousands of planets and well 1 system has at least 20AU radius from the sun of flyable space ( a lot of relativly empty but remains fyable and dungoins spawn all over the place all the time)

Well Just Cause 2 would fit many times over on a planet, of which there are many within a system, of which there are many thousands...

As for measuring space, it's fairly easy, we have a whole system of methods of measuring distances to far objects. We know the size of the galaxy, we know how far many galaxies are from us etc.

1 au is 92,955,887.6 miles so the smallest systems 2d plain area is around 10,858,345,800,186,271,429.83 sqaure miles and there are 6200 systems most biger than that, very few people have flown in every system within eve and takes a long time to do, and would be an imposeable to see every bit of a asingle system as stuff is constantly shifting. the galxy has an diamiter over 100ly thats about 587,863,000,000,000 miles from 1 side 2 the other ( thank god for faster than ligt travel)

and all run on the largest gaming server the planet has ever seen, with thousands of players all flying, fighting and fornica.. wait not that one. And all done 23/7 (downtime every day for an hour)
