Hey you guys!
I was bored and thought hey, I wonder what single player game had the biggest map, all I can think of is either Oblivion or Fallout 3, but then they are the only games i can think of at the moment.

Off the top of my head, Dwarf Fortress. Trying to cross any of the huge regions generated in that game would take forever.

Hey, you did say any single player game.


Each individual square actually represents a much larger area that takes about 10 minutes to cross in real time. When you also factor in the 3 cavern layers found beneath the surface, the DF world map is ridiculously large.

False. The flying in space sections don't really count.

Correct answer: Minecraft.
Each generated world is 8 times the size of Earth.
Booyah.

Woah, What?! Where did you hear that?!
It's mentioned on the website.

Not that it matters, really. How often would you actually use even a thousandth of that space?

I would say either Fallout or Oblivion or even GTA4, but then i remember Micecraft... i heard that thing could generate earth itself continuously over and over... Can you imagine it!?

Oh and i think games like Mass Effect dont count since the maps are small, you only go through medium areas on a galaxy map... that doesnt count xD

I always seem to be ninja'd on anything Minecraft related.

Anyways: Yeah, Minecraft.
Eight times the surface area of earth!
I don't think any game has beaten that...yet.

It was too big. It takes something like 40 minutes to FLY from one side to the other so by the time I got to start a mission, I was already sick of playing the game.

EDIT: Google Earth Flight Sim has a pretty big map considering you can go to the moon and mars too...

Well it does turn the game into "find someplace with planes to steal" anytime you need to go somewhere without getting wildly sidetracked by ramping a car off of another car, bailing out in midair, and parachuting onto a motorcycle, then you proceed to max out your speed and slam into a wall.
