Map Gab / Re: VGMaps.com now has over 50...
Last post by Cyartog959 - April 08, 2026, 08:01:26 PM
Hey! I just remembered something that's been forgotten/overlooked in the midst of our celebration!

Presently, for 3D games, VGMaps doesn't count the length of maps in distance meters, kilometers/square kilometers, miles, and so forth. The many game console atlas pages that have 3D game maps in the site, regardless of perspective, doesn't have their meter size counts alongside pixel and data file sizes, for traveling in different directions.

As I recall, from the GDC 2009 YouTube video presentation Sega made about Sonic Unleashed after its launch, the stages ranged from 5 to 20 square km, spotted at minute 43:28 in the video(I've left a video link to it in one of my posts). This led me to think, "What many other 3D games do have their meter size counts?".

I just had this thought after seeing your numerous calculations for select maps that are the longest, largest, narrowest, smallest, etc., etc., and my mind went "DING!" through a little thinking, and that's where it hit me.

Jon, if you're around, perhaps the atlas pages may need a new distance meter count section for 3D game maps added sometime soon. Think about it. I'm curious to see what they are.

Is it just me, or is everyone experiencing 2 minute wait times to load one page on the VGMaps forums? It took me something like 15 minutes just to get to point of posting this message.

In other news, Sansara Naga 2 is in the works. :D

It's not you, FlyingArmor. It just happened recently, I think. It's obvious maintenance work needs to be done, so the wait times can be cut down from minutes to seconds flat, as it is supposed to be all the time.

Yes, not many of us are patient, but we can still try to be moreso and not let this little situation or anything else run our nerves much.

Have faith, and peace and prayers to Jon and the forums' staff to resolve such situations.

Dang. 50,000 maps. That's... a lot of maps! Congrats, Jon! And I'm happy to have contributed to that total, small as it is. Wish I could think of more games to map out... but oh well. I'm sure I'll think of something else someday. :P

Anyway, here's hoping we'll one day hit 100k maps! :D

Oh, don't you worry. There's still loads more out there, the choices you may decide, whenever you do, can be right up your alley. The count is still going strong, and the ranges are so wide, so to speak.

Map Gab / The LARGEST map - G.E.R.'s map...
Last post by JonLeung - April 07, 2026, 05:44:49 PM

VGMaps.com: The Video Game Atlas now has a NEW largest map! 🤯

G.E.R.'s HOLLOW KNIGHT: SILKSONG (PC) map of Pharloom & The Citadel is 3.65 gigapixels, over three times larger in area than his own Limbo (X360) map, and at 242 MB, 1½ times larger in filesize than his own Ori And The Will Of The Wisps (PC) map!

As it says on there, it required around 420,000 screenshots.  Incredible!

Here's a summary of all the maps of extreme sizes, including the tallest/shortest/widest/narrowest (no thumbnails because they'd just look like sticks anyway).

After looking at the largest and smallest maps by image area, here are those in the middle. ozderya, who mapped the 50,000th map, also mapped many of the maps here at the center!

Map Requests / Re: JonLeung's Requests

VGCartography has made maps for Quest 64!

It's not an April Fool's joke, or meant to be one, I just forgot to mention it.  They were submitted on March 4 and 14, so, it was weeks ago, my bad.

Thanks again for all your awesome work, VGCartography!  I know Quest 64 gets a bad rap, but it does actually have its fans, and I'm sure they appreciate these maps!

If you aren't familiar with these games or its sequels (or any of its bosses, like my friends), you could always check out the recently released Mega Man: Star Force - Legacy Collection!
It came out just last Friday, for all modern consoles and Steam, with new quality-of-life updates, art and audio archives, and more!
