Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Does Xenoblade X have the biggest hand-made world in an offline videogame yet?

Ultrashroomz on 24 September 2015

Probably not.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

The Witcher 3 is around 52 square miles, So Xenoblade Chronicles X is actually +3 times bigger than Witcher 3, and for comparison:

Skyrim was around 40 Km2
FarCry 4 was around 45Km2
Read Dead Redemtion was around 50Km2
GTA 5 was around 80Km2
The Witcher 3 was around 135Km2

Xenoblade Chronicles X is 400 Km2


Really? My mistake then. Someone might have taken kilometers as miles when I read somewhere TW3 and XCX was close in size.

So it's the biggest this gen until FF15 comes? 

Yes this topic  was openly discuse on another thread 6 or 7 months ago, with links, and XCX is the bigger world and it is handcrafted, atleast for now this gen XCX is the biggest world, maybe when ff15 comes this can change.

May not have to wait that long, just cause 3 is supposedly going to be just as big as its predecessor.

If FF15 delivers what their creators have promised, then yes, XCX will the bigger offline hand-made console game this generation until FFXV comes in 2017 with luck.

Surely it will be bigger than Jak 3 or Jak 2 (I remember the Spargus desert in Jak 3 hahaha). However, the only home console I've got is a Playstation 2 xD so I don't know at all.

I guess it will be like GTA or more.


Oh my. You're missing out on a lot of games my friend. 

 

OP: No Man's Sky will be the largest video game ever created by far. But from what people are saying about XCX's size it does seem to be the biggest right now.

Isn't XCX around 150 square miles?
It's about Witcher 3 size, but Fuel is ridiculously bigger than that.
5500 square miles is what, ~35 times XCX world?

It's one of the biggest this gen yet, though.
FF15 is measured as over 5 times that (XCX), so when it comes it'll make parameters for this gen to go really up.

XCX is bigger than the witcher 3.


Perhaps, but size isn't everything. I am hopeful Xenoblade Chronicles X will have enough content to justify the size.

You really didn't needed that last line.

The game is confirmed to 2016.

We both know is not gonna happen.

Dang, XCX is HUGE. And I assume everybody will be playing with the online features given perks, but there are definitely online modes, although you are limited to what you can do with an actual player over the Internet.

That doesn´t make make it an online game, it has a co -op online feature, but is not a MMORPG, the game is designed to be played offline.


It is most definitely not.

Yeah, I don't really get this obsession with size of the worlds - I always find how good the world is built for exploration and its diversity in landscape, regions and content way more important...some of the best open world games out there are not really that big at all, but really shine in those things.
