We better get a damn swift horse
Mayor: "Can you kill the beast? Our city will pay you"
Geralt: "Where does it have it's lair?"
Mayor: "Over that distant mountain"
Geralt: "Mhm...cya in a week"

Damn, I was looking at the picture when typing and I mindlessly copied the 8.:rly?:Must repent...
Im trying now to imagine how it would look to play Witcher 3 with everyone ingame bald (counting animals and monsters too )
:wat:
So many numbers coming out of the GDC presentations, I'm still inclined to believe the game just won't be that big, it makes no sense they would talk about skyrim's size and such, but then again 35 TW2s being the minimal size, and the game growing in quests and content just like Konrad said, who knows what the game is like at this point. We even had those comments of yet unannounced areas, or that they were only talking about playable land without water.
It'd be really cool if someone from RED could clarify at least one of the slides, don't you think so @Marcin Momot?

Still smaller than DayZ or the town I live in.
But yes, it would make the game much bigger than Skyrim, which would be awesome. Climbing a mountain in 5-10 minutes felt just... wrong. Perhaps they were talking about each separate area being ~25% bigger than Skyrim? Skyrim is said to be ~37 km[SUP]2[/SUP] and each of these areas would be ~60-64 km[SUP]2[/SUP].

Well then I say it's time we call our favorite Red to shed some light on this issue.
Hey @Marcin Momot, could you tell us what those numbers stand for? Is the map still about 20% bigger than Skyrim, or did it get up to 200?

Reminder that Just Cause 2 was ~1000 sq km+
(it didn't have many things to do but that's besides the point)
~192 isn't really that unreasonable if you're not packing the map with something every 500 metres.
(Ex-AC4 Bathtub of the carribbean with things every few metres)
@Geralt_of_bsas Yeah I accidentally read mi sq and km sq
:troll:

Skellige is separate, we know that, but they always say its because its supposed to be too far away from the mainland so there's no point in making you sail so much. Now Novigrad and NM'sL are probably together, and the remaining secret areas I dont know.
@sidspyker actually just cause 2 is 400 square miles according to the internet, so its beyond the thousands of km2
So you mean Skyrim wasn't that demanding(for the PC at least)?
Sorry for my ignorance, I know very little about how the processing of games works.
Well the game wasn't demanding at all but no that's not what I mean. Game size really doesn't have much to do with 'processing' because not all of the map is loaded into the memory at the same time. It's streamed as you go to different areas. So you can created 10000000x bigger map than some game but the processing(and memory) only matters in the area you can currently see on your screen not all of the map.
Know and grow everyday.
What I mean is there's many many many big world games and that's not really an issue.
Examples:

What's an issue is creating the world that isn't just empty and bland but full of life and things to do. Activities for example. You need things to do otherwise you're just walking around endlessly from point A to B.

You can have big maps with nothing, or have a smaller map with a lot of things, witcher 3 will make big maps with a lot of things, so, compare sizes do not makes sence at all, on Skyrim you have a lot of caves, yes, and monster, but too a lot of repetitives caves, Witcher is about a good story, no just explode all the map in search of the biggest sword in the world
