Is Dragon's Dogma bigger than Skyrim? (video)

Skyrim is a massive game but is Capcom's soon to be released entry into the action adventure role playing game genre going to offer a larger world to explore? Take a look at the video which shows off some of the Dragon's Dogma map uncovered after many hours playing.

dint play skyrim, what you all thing?

[Fylus]

Ehem... What?

[SovereignSnaKe]

LOL.

[SnakeShady]

English fail.

[brodychet]

The fact that this game is being compared to Dark Souls, and the Size of Skyrim is impressive. Dark Souls being one of my favorite games, and I'd always be happy for a longer bigger game; I'm excited for DD, can't wait to pick it up.

"dint play skyrim, what you all thing?" -alessandro10

Then why would you comment? What are you contributing to the forum? Nothing.

If Dragon's Dogma can maintain the atmosphere and depth of combat of Dark Souls (two things Skyrim was sorely missing) then we will have a fantastic game!

Is Dragon's Dogma bigger than Skyrim?

it is if you think it is.

and isn't if you think its not.

[kent80082007]

I guess facts mean nothing to you then

[Drabent]

Hell no!

[Dark11]

Why?
did you play the Full game for Dragon's Dogma?

yep.

[Summons75]

they can be comparable? lawlz that's like saying dragon's dogma is a dark souls killer....oh wait

Edit: don't get me wrong I'm excited for the game but comparing it to any other game is just stupid

[Baka-akaB]

I'd agree , except that for once they are per se compared games , just the size of the map . Wich is then ok .

[alessandro10]

its big, 50 hours in and he have only travel what seems to be 1/4 of the map

dont know if its bigger than skrym but it has better gameplay for sure

also the rpgs elements are implemented very good, you can watch on youtube the Robcam1 videos

also 48 quest done on does 50 hours

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

Yeah I saw that same video. 50 hours in and it seemed like he only has a tiny part of the map visible!

I doubt it will be bigger than Skyrim's map but it's big, that's for sure.

[alessandro10]

see also enemy econter they were like 33 diferent ones at the moment, that number will go up when he travels more on the map, i was afraid of the enemy diversity but i think this wont be a problem on the game

[Baka-akaB]

Maybe then Hideaki Itsuno wasnt exagerating that much when he mentioned the length of the game .

Seems that at least they did enough to last a long while

[MysticStrummer]

Even if it's smaller, it will take longer to explore it because the enemies don't scale. You can't set out in a random direction from town and be pretty sure you can kill whatever gets in your way, which to me is much better. At least the combat is fun, unlike Skyrim.

[Hawkred63]

could you give a link, can't seem to find the video.

[fossilfern]

I will defiantly be picking this up but cant help but feel that the lack of Co-op is a wasted opportunity :/. Still looks good though!

[xXxSeTTriPxXx]

holy crap, did you see that long list of skills?

[alessandro10]

yeah there was a loooot there how many more there will be who knows, but with what he show there this game wont become stale anytime soon.

[TopDudeMan]

I'm not saying it's impossible for it to be bigger than skyrim, I just think it's unlikely. I had about 50 hours in skyrim and I reckon I finished about half the main content as one character. Barely touched the random sidequests you have to go hunting for.

Did all the guilds except thieves and daedric.

And I made a mage character just to do the mage missions.

[xXxSeTTriPxXx]

your comparing game content to actual game size.the video is about how big the game world is, not about how much content it contain.

edit: he died 32times so the game has some challenge as well.

[TopDudeMan]

Yeah, but what good is a huge world if there's nothing to do in it?

[Fylus]

Top, did you even watch the video? There is obviously a lot to do.

[MysticStrummer]

@TopDudeMan - There's not much to do in Skyrim either, when you get right down to it. Most of the quests are the same thing over and over. I put Skyrim back in to tide me over until Dragon's Dogma, and I can't play it for more than about 20 minutes at a time until I get bored. At least the combat in Dragon's Dogma is fun. Both boss battles in the DD demo are more epic than anything in Skyrim.

[zeddy]

good game. dont like the name though, dragons dogma.

[Fylus]

It's funny, I don't really like the name either. I still can't wait to get it in my hands though:)

[Danniel1]

Could potentially be bigger than Skyrim, especially as Todd Howard said that Skyrim was smaller than it looks due to you having to navigate around mountains that dot the map.

Throat of the World for example has like four different routes and because of the twists and turns it takes ages to get across.

Also the number of enemies and skills has got me fired up now.

*Edit*

Only worry I have is that the environments have looked a little samey thus far. Hoping that as the map expands we'll get a little more variety.

[ofx360]

This game needs more visibility! I really want this game to do well

[TENTONGUN]

i want the game to do good as well. but if not, well whatever,,,itll do just fine in my console i guess :)

[liquidhalos]

I like the look of this game but is the land fully explorable like skyrim, or is it restricted like it was in Dragon Age origins?

[Danniel1]

Open word as far as I can tell, not segmented areas like DA

[Hawkred63]

Yes it is open world like skyrim, you can set out in any direction you want-given you can kill the enemies you encounter.

[liquidhalos]

sweetm after checking a few gamer reviews it might be worth getting, how exciting

[deletingthis34675334]

Bigger than Skyrim...or not, I am still looking forward to this. This is the first Capcom game in the past few years that has me interested. Their other games...meh.

[theeg]

bigger, dunno maybe, will it have the depth, i doubt it 100%///

Skyrim on pc is a masterpiece, amazing gameplay, excellent combat, amazing mods and mod tools, 60 frames on even moderate hardware, 1080p native beauty, 8x msaa, beautiful quick load times. skyrim is awful on console sure, but what do you expect from 8 year old hardware.

get this on pc, or i don't think im gonna touch it, thats how i feel about most games.

it looks to run at about 15 frames, the annoying minions/thanes/followers/house carls that are always with you look annoying (are they always there?)

everything looks way sub-hd and there are too many pop-ins/jaggies

bring this to pc and i'm all about giving a new rpg a chance, i pushed through the terrible performance and bad visuals on dark souls because i knew it would be excellent, but the pc version will be a masterpiece! thank goodness they ae bringing it to hardware that can actually run it, they should do the same with dragons dogma

[Natoo]

If you haven't played the demo then how can you judge? The game is so crisp, clear and most of all it runs smoothly, let's hope the full version is just as good!
Skyrim really wasn't a master piece either, on any console or PC. I admit it was a good game at first but after 80+ hours of repetitive dungeons, a very small range of monsters and the boring fight system, it just turns out to be another over rated rpg. The worst thing in skyrim by far though is the tedious fighting. Killing dragons was fun until after like the 3rd one where it just becomes repetitive and uninteresting.
Skyrim will most likely be blown out of the water by DD's massive open world, vast range of enemies and innovative gameplay.

[NeoTribe]

Game seems interesting but I'm not convinced capcom can make a good rpg. Hope I'm proven wrong though. Has capcom ever made a rpg before?

[ruFFlerX]

Breath of Fire

[DasTier]

People seem to hate on Skyrim, but it is truely one of the best games of its type.

[Natoo]

Played the demo recently and i cannot fault this game from what i've seen. The battle system is far better than skyrims. the world seems to be more detailed and there also looks like there is a heck of a lot more to do. I think Capcom have trumped bethesda with this one!!
