One of the levels in Resident Evil Revelations happens at an imaginary airport in Finland. I'm not sure if they mention Finland specifically, but the airport is called "Valkoinen Mökki", which means "white cabin" in Finnish. Stupid name for an airport BTW.

This thread has made me realise just how few games are set in England, and now I’m a mixture of annoyed and upset.

AC Valhalla
Watch Dogs Legion

 

[Star-Lord]

AC Valhalla
Watch Dogs Legion

I haven’t paid attention to Watch Dogs or Assassins Creed since their respective second entries.

 

[Africa's Toto]

Forza Horizon 3

Forza 1/2/3/4/5/6/7

Forza Horizon

Gold Coast, Australia, so pretty much only Forza Horizon 3.

Forza Horizon 4. Going to one of the bigger landmarks in the game tomorrow actually.

It a very compressed version of a section of the UK with no real regard to the actual geography but some bits do line up perfectly and are easily recognisable.

I'm playing Forza Horizon 4 right now and it has an amazingly accurate feel to the setting. So many more games set in the UK. The one that really comes to mind is Everybody's Gone to the Rapture which is ridiculously accurate. That villages looks so much like the one I grew up in

Man, forza gets around

 

[Africa's Toto]

This bad boy right here, so so long ago now.

I would be proud to see my city depicted like this. The atmosphere in Sleeping Dogs was amazing

 

[Arcadialane]

Every Sherlock Holmes game

 

[Africa's Toto]

Sweden, probably some racing game.

Yup, username checks out

 

[SquillieDee]

The Division 2 is the best representation of my home town that Ive ever seen!! The recreated downtown DC perfectly!!!

 

[RoadHazard]

Yup, username checks out

Lol, I actually play very few racing games, but yeah.

 

[Captain Toad]

I mean, we don't live in those fictional cities within real countries

South Park may be fictional, but Colorado isn't.

 

[Africa's Toto]

City: Microsoft Flight Simulator lol

Country: Gears 3, Overwatch, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, basically EVERY WWII game LOL, Wolfenstein (most of them), Forza 1/2/3/4/5/6/7, GranTurismo 1/2/3/4/5/6, every Formula 1 game... there are more but these are the ones from the top of my head

the last one I played would be Wolfenstein The new Order, as I recently started a new playthrough on PC

Man, I still can't tell where this is. Poland? Germany?

 

[Kilau]

For me, NCAA ‘14

I live in New Zealand. Flight Simulator is the best I'm going to get.

You have all of The Lord of the Rings games though.

sorry not sorry

 

[CookieWithMatt]

Only two come to mind for me (Flight Sim don't count!). Forza Horizon 3 & Project Gotham Racing 2. PGR2 was pretty sweet as it had some actual radio stations from Australia in it. Can't remember who, probably some shock jocks like Kyle & Jackie O.

 

[kuncol02]

Medium.

Man, I still can't tell where this is. Poland? Germany?

Can't be Poland. We don't have racing tracks at all.

 

[BlackTron]

Man, I still can't tell where this is. Poland? Germany?

My take is France.

 

[Tschumi]

Sekiro, I think.

This thread has made me realise just how few games are set in England, and now I’m a mixture of annoyed and upset.

judging by the guard's voices you have the Thief games, and Stronghold is a GOAT RTS... Robin Hood Commandos clone was pretty fun... Lords of the Realm in the 90s... Fable! Fable! Right? I mean it had the accents... but then again all games about Ancient rome seem to feature English accents... YOU COME FROM ANCIENT ROME!

 

[TintoConCasera]

I was more than pleased when I get to Spain in Terranigma. Also does Street Fighter II count?

 

[reksveks]

In London so probably , but the last game that I played was a Driver game or something like that.

Category:Video games set in Scotland - Wikipedia

I think AC: Valhalla would be the most recent but its the landmass under a previous name, not the country of Scotland. There are many more than I realised.

 

[Halo is Back]

Louisiana?

 

[ProgenitorCastle]

NYC- Parasite Eve

Resident Evil 7
Mafia 3
Red Dead Redemption (Saint-Denis)

Go ahead and take a guess

Ummm Seattle

Battlefield 1 albeit briefly

 

[EverydayBeast]

Progressive Field, Cleveland Ohio MLB The Show there’s many games in the country of USA though.

 

[funkygunther]

Forza Horizon 4

Watch Dogs

The Last Stop

AssCreed Vikings

cor blimey, it's Blighty!

[catvonpee]

I live in Pittsburgh so I think Fallout 3 and TLOU, and Flight Sim has everyone covered.

 

[German Hops]

Only one:

 

[DrAspirino]

City: Microsoft Flight Simulator

Country: Hitman Blood Money ("A Vintage year" mission, located in Chile)

 

[Wizz-Art]

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway of course I didn't live through WWII but the architecture is spot on I must say.

 

[IDKFA]

Once. That was Resistance Fall of Man.

Never again will a major video game have levels set in the South West of England.

This thread has made me realize just how many games are set in the UK. Seriously, the English, Scottish (and some Irish, I guess) folk in this thread are relatively privileged.

Don't know about Wales though

 

[LaughingStock]

And of course, it's in a favela.

Maybe I’m missing something - or several somethings - but apart from a few select missions I’m certain titles, there are barely any games set in the UK. Valhalla doesn’t count as that was the kingdom of the Anglo-Saxons. Legion is shit, so that doesn’t count either.

Ah, I see.
I just checked out the wikipedia lists posted here and I see
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Video_games_set_in_the_United_Kingdom 199 listed games.

If we're deciding based on "quality", then yeah a lot of these games are disqualified. If recency is a factor then even fewer. If we exclude sports games then, sure, barely any, but still way more than most of rest of the world.
