    they've stated before that the maps size is similar to FC4, keep in mind though we don't have vehicles and no air based travel...

    What I read in u link.....i dont see any where they talk about map size. They say: primal gonna be big! Hours gameplay, side mission, etc.
    Well fallout 4 also big but map less than fallout 3, but game still BIG....its just example...how u can manipulate words for press/gamers.

    Anyway thx for the link

    Direct quote from 3rd paragraph of link Viragox provided, I bolded, underlined, italicized and made red the part to focus on, since you missed it the first time:

    "This is the next Far Cry," Béland told GameSpot when asked if Primal is the next full game or something akin to Blood Dragon. "
    The world is as big as Far Cry 4. It's got an immense story that you do at your own pace, there's side missions, there's bonfires. It's a Far Cry game."

    Recently our lead writer had said the Far Cry Primal campaign is approximately 30 hours long. It's a pretty big game. The map size is at least as big as Far Cry 4. Looking forward to everyone's thoughts once you can play the game!

    Sounds good. I move at a snail's pace in most games so it's probably gonna take longer for me. Which I wouldn't mind because the 1st playthru is always the most magical.

    Quote from video:
    It seems slightly smaller than Far Cry 4, I'd say, but big enough to have different bayous. *snip* Traversing this world on foot is gonna be more time consuming than bombing around Kyrat on a quad bike but Ubisoft has crammed it full with wildlife and enemies and other emergent diversions that serve to keep things interesting.
    If the map is smaller than Kyrat then it's because we don't have vehicles to cover larger distances.
