The first console game to present the player with a single, unbroken 3D world was Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. Thanks to developer Naughty Dog's advanced 'streaming' technology, the game world could be explored without any loading times between areas.

Even Grand Theft Auto III, released two months before Jak and Daxter , featured loading times between Liberty City's islands.
