The Division Map Size Compared With Fallout 4 and GTA 5

4.5
The Division beta led to the unexpected result of people being worried that the map may not be big enough- but on the whole, that worry may have been unfounded, if this new comparison of its map with the map of some other open world games is to be believed.

The methodology used is a bit shaky, but on the whole, the comparison covers all bases- so we know that the map size for Fallout 4 and The Division are roughly the same. But the big winner in this comparison is, unexpectedly, Rockstar’s GTA 5, which wins out because of the vast expanses of wilderness that surround the city of Los Santos. Of course, as the video points out, the map size alone is not a factor- for instance, it takes less than a third of the time to traverse across the GTA map than it does to go across the Fallout or Division maps, mostly because GTA has the benefit of having some pretty fast vehicles that cut down traversal time greatly.

Plus also, equally importantly, GTA‘s map is not quite as dense as the map in The Division is.

You can check out the full comparison video below.

Great to see a comparison of the different map sizes, as long as the games hold up the map size shouldnt really matter to the player.

Really looking forward to this game, I'm so hyped. From the BETA, I'd say it's by far one of the best I've played all year. The movement took a little getting use to though.

All of the maps are huge and I do not see it as a surprise that GTAV has the largest of the three.

ProPosted:

The hype for this game is sick, cannot wait until I can play it.

Looks great.

Mercedes_Benz got bored quickly in the alpha to much hype and nothing else


Just because you only got to do one thing over and over again. It was the beta after all. Chill, and save your judgement for when the actual game drops.
