Dude, he said each region would be 50% to 66% the size of Risen 1 so he basically promised an average growth of 58% for each map over Risen 1.
So what we got in Risen 2 -excluding DLC- is: Caldera, Takarigua, Sword Coast, Antigua, Maracai Bay, Island of the Dead, and the Island of Thieves.
That sums up to seven regions so 7x58% = Risen 2 landmass = 406% more than Risen 1 = WTF?!?
That's what Deep Silver (doberlec) promised. I have no idea why you seem to believe that Risen 2 is smaller or why you would believe that it has been advertised as being smaller.
Realism check: I don't think that doberlec's numbers are correct. He obviously gave that statement little thought or should have clarified that only the main locations, i.e. Takarigua, the Sword Coast, Antigua and Maracai Bay are 50% to 66% the size of Risen 1 (which seems plausible IMHO).
It's pretty obvious that the other islands and especially Caldera are much smaller than 50% of Risen 1.
If I had to venture a personal guess about the size (explorable landmass) of Risen 2 in comparison to Risen 1 then I'd say it's somewhere between twice but not quite as much as three times as large so 200% + x% while x < 300.
