Message: [QUOTE="moriráslejos, post: 273097, member: 281592"] I've been playing Zelda: Windwaker lately for the first time and I'm impressed by how close to an open world game it is -- the map is pretty large and once you beat the second dungeon the game just lets you wander off in any direction you like. I also know of this 1999 Japan exclusive called "Germs Nerawareta Machi" which is described everywhere as an open world game... on the PS1. I played for like an hour and it seems to be true: from the beginning you can just get in your car and drive anywhere you want. Both of these examples fascinate me, because I had heard some people say that game consoles before the seventh generation just "couldn't handle" an open world game. That leads me to ask: what other early open world games do you know of? Do you think these games are really pushing their hardware to the max? Edit: Also hi, I'm new here. Pleasure to meet you all.
