XCX is huge.

While you can never be entirely sure of size due to scale being relative and "miles" not being a standard of measurement in game engines - since what constitutes a mile depends on how big you make things and how fast your characters are - the Skyrim and Fallout 4 measurements sound on point based on my experience with BGS open worlds.  I know the Skyrim one is more or less correct.  12 to 14 sq mi is about right.  Witches 3 is the only one I find off.  I seem to recall the world being bigger than that.  But maybe that was prerelease speculation.  I don't know, still gets the point across.  The world is huge.

I recall reading that Fallout 4 was going to be 3 times bigger then Skyrim but it seems the game may actually be smaller maybe The Witcher fell into similar kind of speculation, these guys at least have a video to get their point across.

Weird to see that Nintendo is not going to be advertising for Xenoblade X during that mall tour...


Doesn't surprise me.  Their mall tour last year was strictly family friendly.  No Bayonetta 2.  And while XCX is no Bayo, it's still pretty intense in theme and not really aimed at the age group the rest of the tour is.


I guess so, but Nintendo really needs to push this game in order for it to do well.. :/

Just looking at what we've seen of Fallout 4, I doubt it's smaller than Skyrim.  What throws it off is that Fallout 4 favors a more natural landscape since it's just representing one city and one region while Skyrim has more liberties taken and exageration - especially vertically - due to being representative of a whole kingdom with 5 cities and several towns.  This throws the perception off, makes it look much bigger than it is.  Not sure on Witched 3.

According to this comparison Fallout 4 is a bit Smaller.

It's just that Skyrim you can't explore the whole map because the are borders preventing it while Fallout 4 allows exploration of more of the map. So one has a smaller map but allows you to explore more of it.

So I was looking at saves for my hard drive, and um....

I kinda accidently deleted my Splatoon data....

I am a fucking idiot...



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
