Is this only a japanese thing in vidya? Having real world locations

I remember the tony hawk games doing this.

new vegas does this too

I was actually thinking that but I wasn't too positive.

Parts of GTAV

It was cool how they made all the locations pretty damn accurate but also changed them to make then actually skateable.

The Yakuza series always depicted the "entertainment" district in Tokyo fairly acurately. There are a bunch of youtube videos showing locations IRL vs. in the game. They also have real world product placement in the games though.

fuckin La Noire

LA Noire was pretty damn accurate.

STALKER did it with locations around the zone. They even used photos to make some of the building textures.

Melbourne is Australia's San Francisco

It's full of homos?

>>383351456

Homos, homeless and homonyms.

Watchdogs 2 probably did a whole lot of that, considering it was developed in SanFrancisco and took place there.
Sandbox games usually do this since copying IRL cities is probably easier than planning them yourself.

Fucking Ubisoft.
It's kind of pathetic to bother putting a real landmark in your game and make it look so shit.

I thought you guys liked Hollow Knight and Bioshock.

On another angle it has a prebaked 'reflection'.

A modder managed to fix it in a day.

Prototype is set in Manhattan. Tons of games are, actually.
