A living room is more formal. A Great Room, not so much.

It sounds like what we call a Great Room around here is not what it is considered by the Wiki person.
Our Great Room is more formal. It is for quiet gatherings, or for being alone reading, relaxing, contemplating...
And for formal dining. Our antique dining table has a massive base that splits and lengthens the table. The table is probably about 15 feet long when fully extended. It is great for large, formal gatherings.
The room in your picture is what I would consider a family room or a rec room.
