So, when No Man's Sky releases next June, even counting just one planet, won't that be the biggest game world of all time?

I mean...they say the planets are "planet sized", which would make them gigantic in game world terms. Even if they are exaggerating and the planets are only the size of our moon, that would make them 38 MILLION square km. That's 9500 times larger than the (possibly exaggerated) world of XCX.

I don't think it's right to include prodecural generation based games in terms of biggest because they are by their nature limitless, if we were to count prodecural generation games, then all of them would share the top position since all of them would be capable of endless map generation (hardware allowing).

Thats an arbituary/goal shifting rule, one suited to supporting a particualr view, it doesnt matter what the mechanism is, it's the end result, if No Mans Sky is endless then that is the size of the map
