From gamespresso,

"That’s almost unheard of, but according to Bethesda’s lead producer Jeff Gardiner it is true of Fallout 4. Speaking to OXM, Jeff had this to say."

I’ve played the game for probably 400 hours, and I’m still finding stuff that I haven’t seen.

Also some interesting stuff on how electricity works in the game.

Edit: Guys, try to read the article before posting yeah? Thanks.

Call me shallow if old.

nib95 · Jul 31, 2015

Not sure if I like the sound of that...

60EffPeeEss · Jul 31, 2015

They made him say it because nobody would believe Todd Howard.

And I still don't believe it.

Miracle · Jul 31, 2015

I like the sound of that!

HP_Wuvcraft · Jul 31, 2015

Yup, okay, Bethesda.

Nothing1016 · Jul 31, 2015

The game will probably be fantastic... But at some point where do you draw the line.

EloquentM · Jul 31, 2015

Sounds like marketing bs. No doubt the game is big though.

KJRS_1993 · Jul 31, 2015

Yeahh, getting the "game might be toooo big" vibes from this one.
Definitely picking it up though!

So you can make your own shopping lists for crafting huh?

JStein0222 · Jul 31, 2015

*runs in circles for 400 hours*

So much game left!

Yeah.

Like, I can do the same thing with Fallout 3 by staring at one location. For 400 hours.

How do you even quantify something like that?

AmaterasuOni · Jul 31, 2015

Is this because of the infamous Bethesda bugs or...?

For the record, I'm not sure how to feel about this.

Alcoholikaust · Jul 31, 2015

You can see everything Boston has to offer in 10 hours. This is an improvement.

Kalamari · Jul 31, 2015

But is everything actually worth seeing, that is the question.

Right?

But we get what they're saying. I just hope it's worthwhile content. I was happy to see everything in Fallout 3.

alr1ght · Jul 31, 2015

You can play Fallout 4 for 400 hours without seeing good animations

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Kain · Jul 31, 2015

Of course you can.

-Pyromaniac- · Jul 31, 2015

Probably because 375 hours of the 400 was spent crafting shit and playing tower defense.

baconcow · Jul 31, 2015

He's probably played the same missions and areas 50 times in a testing capacity. 400 hours would come gradually.

All you gotta do is close your eyes once every five minutes.

SJRB · Jul 31, 2015

Awesome utterly hollow marketing phrase, dude.

ShadowOfTheIco · Jul 31, 2015

I guarantee you by the time this game comes out, through the power of "chinese whispers" people will say it has 1000 hours of unique content.

Lol my thoughts exactly

Jigorath · Jul 31, 2015

Is that supposed to be impressive?

His Majesty · Jul 31, 2015

More interested in knowing how many of these 400 hours are quality content.

You helped the man looking for one pig rat skin, but have you seen the man looking for TWO PIG RAT SKINS?!

Omega Kirby · Jul 31, 2015

No mans sky competitor?

Woo-Fu · Jul 31, 2015

350 hours of which will be in VATS watching heads explode.

DukeBobby · Jul 31, 2015

Yes, but how much of that is good content exactly?

I don't want fetch quests and samey looking buildings filled with bandits and mole rats.

Disaster Nebraska · Jul 31, 2015

We live in a world with games like No Man's Sky.

Boasting about hours is no longer impressive. Devs need a new marketing hype tagline, IMO, especially in this case since Bethesda games are some of the most static and empty open-worlds out there.

Hatty · Jul 31, 2015

How much of that is worth playing though?

Maintenance · Jul 31, 2015

You can play for 400 hours without seeing skill points too.

MrTroubleMaker · Jul 31, 2015

nice!

Uzzy · Jul 31, 2015

Full of filler and fluff, signifying nothing.

SixStringPsycho · Jul 31, 2015

Guys, hes talking about bugs and glitches.

Zekes! · Jul 31, 2015

Maybe if you're playing the game exclusively with the camera pointed down

Elandyll · Jul 31, 2015

Call me crazy, but after 120+ hours in W3, not a good thing. Unless they somehow manage to make all those 400hrs interesting, but I somehow doubt it.

Pikma · Jul 31, 2015

OH MY GOD IS THAT ROCK NEW

ldcommando · Jul 31, 2015

As long you rest 15 minutes for every 1 hour of play, you should be all right.

StrongBlackVine · Jul 31, 2015

Quality over quantity.

Mad Season · Jul 31, 2015

going the route of witcher 3?

I guess that's up to the player to decide. I think at this point if you are buying a Bethesda rpg you know what you are in for. A long game is fine as long as it doesn't force everyone to experience 100% of it. Your average gamer is definitely going to zip through it and that is fine as long as what is there on the short path is done right and entertaining enough for them. But those that love the series will absolutely want to scour the landscape during their roleplay sessions. Either way you cant say you aren't getting enough game for your buck.

Crosses fingers their aren't many bugs...

Ploid 3.0 · Jul 31, 2015

I haven't seen everything in most games.

wamberz1 · Jul 31, 2015

And 5 billion hours with mods
