I remember the bedrooms in the house at the beggining being WAY too big, but I always thought it was some stilistic choice.

Games where the assets felt off? (AKA are doors this big in real life?)

The cars in Arkham Origins were so off
I have played through this game twice and never noticed this. Are all the cars like that? I suppose you spend most of the game flying on the rooftops, so it is easy enough to miss.
This! A thousand times this. I always felt the same when playing games from that studio, even if a bit less than on Xenoblade 1.
All the supersized bosses in the Souls/Bourne series confused me. I wanted more fights with enemies my size.
I think I remember reading about the Burnout games doing this? Can't find anything from Google.
Pretty much any time you fight a human-sized boss in early Final Fantasies, they're suddenly 30 feet tall.
(And yes, I know it's to emphasize how evil/threatening/etc. they are, but it just looks silly, especially immediately afterwards when they're back to normal size.)

Big Daddies in Bioshock are supposed to be over 7' tall.
The looked tiny at times, haha. They never felt that big to me.

I think about this a lot with the new open-world Assassin's Creed games. In Odyssey I would frequently climb up a mountain and for the size of the geographic features to make sense relative to the player character, the character would have to be like 70 feet tall. The illusion works at a human FOV distance but breaks beyond that.
I heard about the "everything is big in third person" thing and always chuckle when I notice it now
like look at the size of this barn door and it's not like the gears dudes are small and slender lmao
To be fair, when you're that big you're gonna take XL dumps and need an appropriately industrial size bathroom

Let's reverse it
Hmm idk...astro vans are pretty big. Seems pretty close.
Max Payne.
he so tiny
In Custer's Revenge his wang is as long as his arm.
Horrible (and super offensive) game in every way possible...including asset scale.
I'm not posting proof, haha.
It's this threads fault that I thought of that... 🤦‍♂️

Just fan art (I've tried looking for the source, I just get reddit reposts). : (

Isn't that tied to how open world games based in real locations tend to reduce the real size to allow players to transverse them in minutes versus hours?
Right, I understand *why* it's the way it is; it just seems like we have a ways to go to be able to successfully create the illusion of a life-like open world with a variety of the possible, real-world situations.
I noticed so much in this scene of The Evil Within 2, that I took a screenshot:
Look at those massive armchairs. Dude looks tiny!
i wanna sit in the big boy chair
Exactly, I never understood the "amazing open world" comments because it felt so claustrophobic in xbc2.
I wonder if that means they accomplished their goal or not considering what the lands you're traveling on are.
Maybe the toilets are made for New Donkers.doesn't bother me here, it's cartoon as fuck and even luigi has trouble getting to the sink because his height
You've worked in a Spidey lab? Cause in the movies, there's some ridiculously large stuff in there.
In Gran Turismo Sport PS4, when I visit certain location of the Scapes, I found some of them have in weird scale after placing the car(s).
Here some of the examples that I find very questionable about the size of the vehicles and the surrounding.
The perspective sure plays an important role for the shot and can determine the scale, but from these shots, my eyes surely don't play tricks on me like seeing an optical illusion trick, that certain car can look bigger or smaller with surrounding or vice versa and sometimes among other vehicles from the photos and in-game too.
I don't claim to know much about racing cars, so I could not really say if these cars are actually in true scale as in real life, but only reason I start to find these weird, in term of scale is when I compare the interior size (steering wheel, seats) with the scale of real photo from the Scapes.

I wonder if this is one of the cases mentioned here where realistic sizes would create issues for players. It sure seems like the player vehicles are either too small or too big for their original sizeIn Gran Turismo Sport PS4, when I visit certain location of the Scapes, I found some of them have in weird scale after placing the car(s).

Not sure if it counts but I have been playing Mafia 3 on PS4 Pro and the glitches are practically a feature of the game. The sun in particular has a black outline when you look at it, don't make a habit of staring at the sun in reality, but I am pretty sure it doesn't have an outline.
You could probably fit about a dozen people on these couches. Enjoy not being able to see through the windows too. (Final Fantasy XV).
RE2 remake
Yeah, I posted this one earlier....what I find so funny about it is how close they are together in the area. Like...how do you get that so wrong.
Recently watched a matt mcmuscles plays of Underworld and, let me tell you, there are some big ass cars.
That's a foursome bed! No, wait. You could probably fit another 4 people at the bottom too!
