Earlier today, Game Revolution posted an image of a map of Fallout 4, pegging it at around 145,800 square feet. It seems the site was off. By a factor of 7,000. Yes, seven thousand. Here's our much more accurate look at the likely size of Fallout 4.
A Fallout 4 Nintendo Switch 2 port seems like an inevitability, but what about other Bethesda RPGs like Starfield.
I think all games will end up on switch from Xbox. MS has embraced going to other platforms now if games aren't doing well on Nintendo MS may be more selective in the future
On playstation they have been quite successful
All are welcome to Switch 2. Microsoft Games Studios is interested in long term profits and market value not petty fanboy thoughts.
Starfield and Fallout 4 developer Nate Purkeypile reflects on Bethesda's city design, calling it the "antithesis" of the studio's older games
People acted like starfield was so less interesting than fallout and drastically different, but I call bs on that. Both are decent games, but they are both filled with the appearance of things to do and items to interact with but 99 percent are just there to be there with no significance. Fallout has better character work but they are both sort of illusions that they’re vast.
Studio has been going downhill since Skyrim. Every following game gets dumbed down more than the previous. I'll be shocked if Elder Scrolls VI even has dialogue options.
GB: "Gamers have quickly realized that a fun open-world game isn’t just about size and scope but rather how you interact with it."
Think they said it was a little bigger than Skyrim so Im expecting at 15 least square miles
"See the map below, but disregard its scale. At a minimum, we’d expect each segment of the map to be about 550,000 square feet, or about 1,700,000 square feet as an absolute maximum. At a total of roughly 729 segments on the map, we’d peg the size of Fallout 4 between 400 million square feet (14.3 square miles) and 1.2 billion square feet (43 square miles)."
Okay, I really hate downplaying hype, especially on this site, but this shouldn't be important to consider if the range of their estimate is so large. The maximum is more than than thrice the minimum value. That is a really big range, you can't really deny that.
Oh, if any of you counter my argument by saying the quote says "disregard the scale" it just proves that the author does not know the size and the estimate is practically useless. If you can't make a good scale, how can the estimate be trusted?
Being massive don't really mean much in fallout. Fallout 3 used the same assets over and over again which was plain lazy. What's the point in having a massive open world if everything looks the same bar a few key locations?
Fallout 3 will forever be the most over hyped broken mess of a game that I'll never forget. GOTY became obsolete after F3 won it.
Can't wait for this massive map to fast travel around..
but seriously are we really getting to the point where we are measuring Sq feet of a map. we know its going to be a decent size, im more interested in what's in that size. it could all be baron far all we know.
roll on the 10th
I'm going to try only fast travelling by Vertibird which means a lot of walking in my future. Believe me, that tends to stretch out the map in a big way.
