This is a seriously fantastic video. I loved the way you formatted it, exploring each subgenre historically and making a kind of composite impression of the whole genre. In under 13 minutes. With great, iconic game footage. I really don't know why I hadn't watched your videos up until, I'm totally blown away by what a charismatic, informative, well-paced, efficiently scripted and edited thing this is. You're fucking *Ace* at making gaming videos, almost 500 thousand people are really onto something.

I think there's something to be said about a well-paced linear game with a good narrative and a bit of illusion of free-roaming these days (TloU for instance). Too many recent titles do the open-world thing and don't do it very well, i.e. a giant map with a bunch of repetitive busywork.

Same here. I grew up on cRPGs like Baldur's Gate, Arcanum, Fallout 1/2, etc., where there was a sense of free roaming, but none of the busywork of walking there in real time. And content in maps was dense enough that it always felt like there was something genuinely interesting to do.

I would have said Ultima underworld. It's open-ish despite being in a sprawling multi-level dungeon; but what it really did right was that it was a being a first person immersive simulation; sort of like the RPG equivalent of a flight sim. Before Underworld, games just didn't do that kind of thing; a monster was a monster was a monster, not a faction that you could be friends or enemies with. You just didn't get games where you navigated a 3D space in first person with swiming and jumping etc; Wolfenstein 3D was out at almost the same time and it was a 2D maze depicted in 3D. It inspired among others, System shock, Thief, Half-life, the elderscrolls, Everquest and Deus ex. I'd also have mentioned some early non-space open world 3D games from the Amiga/ST/DOS. Such as hunter; an open world, third person shooter with vehicles and a quest structure; or midwinter, a weird open world post-apocalyptic ARPG/shooter/survival thingy.

The unsung godfather of open-world gaming: Hydlide (1984) This was the first true open-world game, in the modern sense of the world. Unlike the early Ultima, Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy games where you walk around as a giant on a world map/hub (like Mario's world map/hub, but non-linear), Hydlide introduced a continuous open world, where you actually explore the entire game world on foot. This is essentially what we mean by open world today. Modern open-world games have their roots in Hydlide. It was the game that inspired Zelda. In turn, Zelda inspired the Ultima series to abandon the world map/hub of Ultima 1-5 with a Zelda-style continuous open world in Ultima 6 onwards. In turn, The Elder Scrolls series was inspired by the later Ultima games that came after Ultima 6. And Zelda itself went on to inspire the open-world design of the GTA series. All of these games can ultimately trace back their open-world roots to Hydlide. And yet, the irony of history is that Hydlide is now widely reviled in the West, because of how poorly it has aged, compared to later games that vastly improved on it and left it in the dust.

Great video. A comprehensive story of the Open World concept? Very cool. Surprised you didn't mention Wasteland but as you say, definitions ahoy. I just wish that the concept didn't get out of hand. The most recent example is Dragon Age Inquisition, for me. Okay, big world, lots of stuff to do, but if most of that stuff are fetch quests it's all wasted space.

A little disappointed that EVE Online didn't at least get a mention for its social dynamic and predominantly player-driven open-world environment, where the programmed open-world itself is little more than a backdrop, but overall a good summary of open-world evolution.

Yes. I agree that sometimes the games shows en to showcase do not juxtapose that well with the narration as in the Dark Souls case here. But I like the videos overall so I do not mind it that much. :) And as for genre. Well yeah genre is a bit iffy in games. Generally when we talk about Western RPG it actually a style rather then where the game was made. So there are a few Japanese games that fit the bill. And there quite a few western developed RPGs that are in a JRPG style to of course. It is a bit like how we do not generally call Portal a First Person Shooter even if it is mechanicly can be described as a First Person Shooter. But the defining game play Aesthetics are quite different game like Doom and Call of Duty. But again, genres are a mess when it comes to computer games. (Sometimes Aesthetics are the focus wile other times is the mechanics that defines it for example.)
