ReRoll is a open-world survival RPG that takes place on a full-sized planet earth. I can't see them pulling this off but the concept sounds interesting http://www.polygon.com/2014/2/3/5374012/reroll-drone-sourcing-planet-earth-pixyul-pc

 

Could also just be a major surveillance operation disguised as a game :o  

This would be mad!

 

I know they wanted to do a GTA world but that was too much for obvious reasons, even though they researched and looked into it for a few years.

 

Would be very interesting to see how far they get with this.

 

 

it "sounds" cool, but IDK, I think they are biting off more than they can chew

Luke 23:34
'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

A challenge, but certainly feasible. They'd have to split the planet up into instanced zones, and the map data would have to be hosted serverside, streaming to the end user as they move around the world and stored in a temp cache on your local machine. Depending on the quality of the map, I'd say about 100tb+, which for a project like this, is nothing. Imagine the possibilities!

 

Obviously it'd require a permanent connection to stream the content, and the combat would have to be turn based or slow a-la WoW, but with the right motivation and finances, this could be a very interesting project to follow.

 

I support this 100%, it's about time the gaming industry took a fucking huge leap again.
