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.

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.

yes, you do a very good job in producing these videos. i like the style and how you try to cover all relevant games to the given topic. when i read "open world origins" i first thought of VETTE, which was an unbelieveable game at this time. thanks for refreshing my memories!

Dwarf Fortress Adventure Mode is the best open world game at the moment. The graphics are extremely simple - being only ASCII based - but the world that is created is truly magnificent. It's what happens when you forgo visuals for mechanics. I believe that when it is completed it will be the closest to a Tabletop RPG on computer that we will have.

It is a tasty and appealing view on the world of games, especially for me, because it is a daunting task nowadays finding people that do know the history that well and put it so on point; not for the merely benefit of dabbling into high regards but by edutaining and positively encourage people to digg deeper into it, without even saying it. Thanks. It is a pleasure to watch and listen to this. [ The shmoovness of your telltalez is astonishing. Keep up the (far more than good) work! ]

so I've only found this channel today, well I'm pretty sure I saw one or two videos some time ago, but still.. I'm loving these videos, I love the chilled out pace the most I think, there are too many gaming channels that seem to be on coke laced mountain dew IV

I dont like the way most open world games do it by just dumping a fkton of unimaginative treadmill missions all over the map, with no thought behind them beside that guy who did the basic mission concept. And then if you follow only the side story, those games mostly fall flat quantity wise. But i guess im in the minority here.

Those are the bad ones. Though sometimes those games can also be made fun.

Thinking about how limited morrowind was, i had more fun exploring the world than in that shallow huge ocean skyrim was.

Axonteer Same, I didn't like Skyrim. Then again, it was being made by only 100 people and they said it was like that because of the restrictions of last-gen. So maybe their next game will be complete? And maybe The Division won't have microtransactions. (sarcasm)
@Axonteer9 жыл бұрын
Maybe in future we wont get botched always online game releases or even better... games that work out of the box and dont require a day1 patch to even load... (hard sarcasm)
@432neptune9 жыл бұрын
Axonteer Oh, we have...some of those. I know that Dying Light works, apparently. Final review copies were sent and it all works fine. Actually, there are still offline and/or working games, it's just that day one patches are becoming more of a thing.

No mention of Mercenary (1985)? That arguably has more in common with the modern 3D sandbox games we know today, even more than Elite and the Ultima series, despite them being earlier.

Starcraft was basically THE title that made it popular, which led to like the entire Warcraft & Homeworld & AoE & C&C & Dungeon Keeper thing through the mid 2000s and I kind of own all of them c: I don't know anything about turn-based strategy history tho
