Though to be fair, it looks literally nothing like the real town.

>What does Doolin actually look like?

That's the funny thing, it's actually quite a beautiful little village in real life. It's nothing like the drab and dreary place in Folklore.

Star Control 2 use real stars on its map

>>16385070

It's an old rural town. Land is likely dirt cheap, as is a place to live. Blue collar work is likely easy to find, and there's not even a language barrier. Sounds like you're just being a fag.

Forza Horizon 3

There's an entire region in the middle-western section of the world map that perfectly captures the rolling hills outside of Wagga Wagga, NSW, Australia.

Every time I go for a drive towards the Sturt Highway it reminds me of the game, and vice versa.

>>16385239

Actually, the vast majority of Forza Horizon 3 does a pretty good job of condensing the unique parts of NSW, QLD, NT and VIC into a cohesive and pretty map.

I spend a lot of time driving all over the East Coast of Australia and I can't aptly explain how "comfortable and familiar" it feels.

Posting more to be criticised for enjoying a (((Microsoft))) game and because I love hearing from you faggots what games capture what it feels like to be somewhere else, so I can pretend I'm there with you shit-talking about games.

Well, also to keep this thread alive too.

Immortal classic. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

>The team took over 500,000 reference images to capture London streets and locations used in The Getaway. The large scale led to one of the team’s artists being banned from local planning offices, as he spent too much time looking at reference material.

>The grooves on the back of The Getaway disc are a digital map of London.

>Some of the art team were chased by club bouncers whilst on a reference photoshoot around Soho.

Have you ever found your actual home in a game taking place where you live? I don't know why, that was my biggest fantasy as a kid. For instance, I wonder if in Czech Republic you could pinpoint exactly where the map of Kingdom Comes is, knowing how autistic the devs were with realism.

Sounds very comfy, Ireland is the few places in Europe I wouldn't mind staying in for awhile As long as it's away from Dublin

>tfw no game that takes place in Arkansas

Normal faggots who aren't from the south don't even realize we are a state half the time

The Getaway recreated London, which was really fucking cool. It was pretty faithful to the real thing in that I could drive by my old apartment. Didn't have nearly the same amount of traffic though, but that's when you have to give up realism in exchange for gameplay I guess.

Call of Duty always took place in real locations, when they didn't use made-up Durkadurkastan names.

Microsoft Flight Simulator did a good job of recreating cities and locations, at least the important landmarks of specific buildings.

>500,000 reference images

>they couldn't even get the windows on pic 1 right

>>16389514

Maybe they just mean they took about 6 hours of film at 24 fps.

>city is so shit it will never be in a video game

>Ireland is the few places in Europe I wouldn't mind staying in for awhile

Fuck off we're full, why do americans come here anyway and how can it be stopped?

While the game itself may not have extremely realistic proportions, most of the areas visited by the Jojo Part V gang in Italy are spot on. In fact I'd say they're even better represented than in the manga.

Does it count if it was obviously supposed to be depicting a real life location without explicitly naming it as such? Because GTA V is a pretty close approximation of the locations its based on. Rockstar basically made a 1:1 Los Angeles and then stripped out 90 percent of the big Suburbs keeping only some neighborhoods. Probably because they figured making most of the map housing tracts like in real life would've made the map too monotonous. Places like Westchester for example are just completely gone because most of it apart from LAX are just neighborhoods. The Salton Sea (The Alamo Sea in game) is about right but its not in the right location geographically. In real life its way down south near the border of Mexico (which makes that one Spic mission with Trevor make more sense) but ironically its actually more lively in GTA then it is in real life where Desert Shores is pretty much a ghost town by this point aside from a single thrift store, gas station, and one or two houses still being occupied. And also the 405 starts from the bottom where it reaches the 110 and stops north where is reaches the 10 after passing the 105 east. The 110 in the game also seems to turn into the 710 immediately. The western highway is obviously PCH the Northern highway is obviously the 5 and the Eastern Highway might be the 605 but its hard to say

Mega Man apparently lives somewhere around Colorado

Nioh has a number of stages that are real locations in Japan.

>>16392073

Genji: Days of the Blade is based on real battles that took place in ancient Japan.

>>16392091

Yakzua sort of counts. Kamurocho is heavily based off of the real life Kabukicho, to the point where a bunch of shops you can visit in the games are both real and correspond to their real life locations.

>>16385009

>>16392073

These also came to mind.

>>16392127

Here's two examples of that sort of thing for anyone interested.

>>16391942

And Flash Man is from fucking Bolivia

A Mercenaries 2 mission takes place in Merida. The city doesn't look anything like the real one,though.

The interesting part of it is that the then president, Hugo Chavez, had a shit fit about violence in video games because the game represented a direct invasion to Merida, and after that he banned violent video games from the country, something that nobody gave a shit about.

>Blue collar work is likely easy to find,

Ireland is being waterboarded along with the other GIPSI/PIGIS but the EU Germany. Though Italy recovered a bit, and there has been construction work in Ireland, which is not a long term economic plan by the way, Ireland has also been getting taxed for shit they never had to pay for before, like water, and overall the cost of living is getting too high.

There has been massive emigration of well educated Irish young people to Australia as its prevented to be a better place to find work.

Also Ireland still has 2 active violent terrorist groups that are currently not doing anything productive and only destroying shit.

>I wonder if in Czech Republic you could pinpoint exactly where the map of Kingdom Comes is, knowing how autistic the devs were with realism.

You could and it's already been done. Pic related, they recreated even some shitty rock by the roadside.
