Full Fallout 4 Map Leaked

GameRevolution: "Fallout 4 is set in Boston, Massachusetts. Below you can see screenshots of the map taken via Pip-Boy while inside Power Armor (making the map larger on-screen) then stitched together to give you an idea of just how large the map really is. Be sure to click the image for full size."

That looks pretty big...even has smaller islands to the far right. Wonder how you get to them unless there is a boat

roland823841d ago

You can call in a helicopter to pick you up

-Foxtrot3841d ago

So no post apocalyptic Miami Vice styled boat chases then...shame

SolidStoner3840d ago

@ roland82

lol, it reminds me MGS5, and those miniguns on both sides dosnt hepl, and that dog..... :D where's Quiet then? :D

Randostar3841d ago

You can swim and hold your breath underwater. Infact their is a perk for it....Aqua Boy! Since Boston is a coastal area, there should be some underwater exploration......Maybe even a partially underwater VAULT!

Mega243840d ago

You just blew my mind...

cannon88003841d ago

@ Foxtrot

I think this person's math is off. If each block is about 200 feet long, that means each block is 40,000 square feet. There are about 729 blocks. So (40,000)*(729)= 29,160,000 square feet. That equals to about 1 square mile. Something is very wrong. I think those squares are more than 200 feet long.

DaCajun3841d ago (Edited 3841d ago )

Thank you, I saw that too. That author's math skills are horrible. He might need to go back to elementary school for a refresher. You got the same results I did when doing the math. The 200ft length per segment this guy came up with seems very wrong and I don't believe that game is just one 1 square mile either.

cannon88003841d ago

@ DaCajun

If rumors of Fallout 4's map size being about 3 times the size of skyrim (15.06 square miles) are true. Then that would mean that it's about 45.10 square miles, or roughly 1,315,116,000 square feet.

starrman19853841d ago

@ cannon8800 I don't think the actual map size was actually 3x as big, it was the content within it. I can't remember which interview or where I heard that but I'm sure it was said that the actual size of the map wouldn't be 3x bigger.

Patience is a virtue. I will not spoil the game for myself. I will not click that link. Be strong the game is upon us. 1 more week.

LEAKS LEAKS AND SPOLIERS GALORE... !!!

Goodbye N4G for a while.

Swiggins3841d ago

I'm with you man, I might have to do an internet blackout until the 10th.

HEAD FOR THE VAULTS!!!

Black0ut3841d ago

Should I click it? SHOULD I CLICK IT??

God I can't help myself, I think I might have to do the same thing ='(

Randostar3841d ago

Lol. You wouldnt last 5 seconds in /r/FO4/

the_mack_attack33841d ago

I have made some stupid decisions in my day, pressing that link is another one. Cool looking map though!

TacticAce3841d ago

Cant really tell how bid it really is with this, hope its bigger than skyrim.

JonnyBigBoss3841d ago

The very top left island is the starting area where there are several homes, backyards, and more. Basically, the map is absolutely massive.

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ3841d ago

It does not look that large to me... It's a short street with a cul de sac at the end where you first start, you can tell by how many streets there are and the spacing per street block it won't be much larger than Fallout 3 or skyrim and will be smaller than GTA V

IIFloodyII3841d ago (Edited 3841d ago )

I'm pretty sure they said it's about the same size as Skyrim's world, just a lot of it won't be taken up by mountains.

Edit: found it.

BiggerBoss3841d ago

Thats good. Skyrims map was plenty big enough for me, even with the mountains.

IIFloodyII3841d ago

@Biggerboss

Oh, yeah, it's big, but not overwhelmingly so. I'm sure they'll have a lot of cool places to explore too.

Tctczach3841d ago

This really means nothing until people run across the map and see how long it takes.

JonnyBigBoss3841d ago

It took me a good minute to run from the starting area to the first town. They can be seen on the top left of the map.

Tctczach3841d ago (Edited 3841d ago )

Would you say it's bigger than Skyrim or Vegas?

JonnyBigBoss3841d ago

Bigger than Vegas. Similar to Skyrim.

EazyC3841d ago

Hm yeah, but if you take into account all the inaccessible mountainous areas of New Vegas, it's a lot smaller than it seems. I hope it's dense and unique rather than expansive and samey a la Marrowind.

Dynasty20213840d ago (Edited 3840d ago )

It's been confirmed to take roughly 11 minutes to run from top left to bottom right. Run+sprinting whenever possible due to stamina.

Skyrim takes about 14 minutes.

TW3 takes about 16 minutes.

Don't know where Todd was getting "bigger than Skyrim" from then.

And it's confirmed in the PC leak stream earlier today that the map is border-less and has an invisible wall that prompts you "you cant go that way" and you just run on the spot.

Also, LOL at all you console peasants that said the PC screenshots were photoshopped, as the PC version is currently being streamed live as we speak with proof of menus etc.

And it looks far better than on consoles.

Todd Howard on 10 years of Fallout 4 and The Elder Scrolls 6: 'We needed a creative reset'

They need to look at Morrowind and see what the progression should have been from there instead of the regression we got with the next 2 games. They weren’t horrible games but they could have been so much more.

-Foxtrot181d ago

Fallout 4 just felt too streamlined and accessible to me, the perk system was not as fun as it was in Fallout 3, not saying Fallout 3 didn't have issues but 4 just felt like a complete step back.

mastershredder181d ago

So the part where you just sold the same games for the last 10 years while you focused on 76 and merch, was not a reset from the "creative" aspect eh? How very Todd of you.

lukasmain181d ago

I bought Fallout 4 (I loved Fallout 3) at launch and I couldn't bring myself to finish it or even get close to finishing it. It was soooo damned boring and bland. I played on a very hard difficulty and I had hundreds of stimpaks. One of the only games I've played for a while and not ended up finishing it. I hated it. Just flat out hated it.
