Basically can walk around everywhere and anywhere.

I guess like MS flight simulator but without the planes? Just a travel simulator. Do you think well be capable this generation?

Or even better, a real game that uses the entire earth as the map.

now that i think about it, we already have 3 games that already have the entire world mapped out for all intents and purposes. Ingress, Pokemon Go, And Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. You even get to move thru the world in real time!

For minimal degrees of detail, this has already been done multiple times.

It depends on just how detailed and interactive you want the simulation to be. If you're looking for 1:1 scale with absolute interactivity, we might be talking hundreds of years before we reach that level of technical sophistication.

And even then, whatever product comes out is going to be outdated by a few years simply as a consequence of the development time it'll need, so it won't actually be an accurate representation of the current world.

I think the game would end surprisingly quickly after you reached the coast.

Wouldnt it depend on if a game needed that. Though, its be hard to actually do. Well, if you wanted to make it exactly like the real world, that is... It would also probably take like forever...

I mean some submarine simulators have at least 70% of the world mapped.

Turns out the majority of the planet is pretty uninspired copy paste water stages.
