NoxObscuras 03/18/25 9:37:46 PM #6:	I can't think of many games that do an actual 1:1 scale. Test Drive Unlimited 1 has a 1:1 scale of O'ahu, Hawaii, but that's not available on modern hardware. The newest game in that series, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown also claims to be a 1:1 scale of Hong Kong, but that game is bad. Like, 3.9 user score on Metacritic, bad. --- Steam/Xbox/PSN = NoxObscuras <cite>NoxObscuras posted [p:984403560] in Is there a...

El_Marsh 03/18/25 9:41:12 PM #7:	TheSuperSilver posted... True Crime Streets of LA IIRC This came to immediate mind. It reputedly did a spectacular job of recreating Los Angeles, including many recognizable landmarks across a map that was reasonably impressive in scope for its time (2003; it came out on PS2, OG XBox, and Gamecube). If you've never played it, I definitely recommend it because it was just damn fun. --- http://i.imgur.com/0APl48O.gifv <cite>El_Marsh posted [p:984403594] in Is there a...

NoxObscuras 03/18/25 9:46:12 PM #9:	TheSuperSilver posted... True Crime Streets of LA IIRC It recreated parts of LA. Still a lot of truncated/skipped sections in order to fit all of the well known landmarks. I remember looking for my house and being disappointed that my entire neighborhood was missing.

Hexenherz 03/18/25 10:51:44 PM #14:	The Getaway (PS2) was a faithful recreation of London.

CRON 03/18/25 11:31:53 PM #18:	Google Earth VR has a human scale option which makes everything 1:1 (or as close as possible) and seeing a lot of fully-rendered places is one of the best VR experiences you can have.
