Used the term at E3 to "make it easier for consumers to understand".
"We are now developing the next title for the orthodox The Legend of Zelda series for Wii U, and that it will be an 'open world,' as announced at E3," he explained. "I prefer not to use the generally used term 'open world' when developing software, but we used this term in order to make it easier for consumers to understand."
He went on to explain what the open world tag means for the game.
"This term means that there is a large world in which players can do numerous things daily. In the traditional The Legend of Zelda series, the player would play one dungeon at a...
Origin alleged to have jumped the gun on official announcement.
The tweet was quickly deleted, but not before MP1st managed to capture a screen grab.
"Save 20% on #BF4 Premium right now, then jump into #DragonsTeeth early on July 15th," read the tweet. It was later replaced with a similar tweet with the date removed.
The July 15 date means that Premium users will likely be able to get started on the latest expansion pack in just over 10 days time, with the pack due to release to non-Premium users two weeks later.

How everyone’s favourite videos have created a new sub-genre of games, and how it could impact development.
Having these products appear on popular YouTube channels is no accident - developers are becoming increasingly aware of how impactful this can be on sales. In a world where word of mouth is being transformed into feeds, videos and social media, how to spread the message of lesser known titles is changing, even creating new genres entirely.
What we are witnessing, is the birth of the YouTube game.
It can be hard to define a YouTube game, especially as these experiences are still so new that you can only pluck out a few examples as bonafide exhibits of the genre....
Pre-order and you'll grab access to the Exoplanets Map Pack, a free DLC that includes six custom maps "inspired by real exoplanets". What's an exoplanet? Let me Google that for you.
According to Wikipedia, an exoplanet "is a planet that does not orbit the Sun and instead orbits a different star, stellar remnant or brown dwarf". Around 1800 of them have been discovered across 1118 different planetary systems. We don't live on any of them. Yet.

Publisher can't commit to Xbox One performance 'at this stage'.
"We're locked at 60 frames, 1080p already, and this is the first build," European brand manager Adam Bhatti told us earlier today referring to the PS4 demo on display.
But while attempting to seek clarification over whether Bhatti's comments also applied to the Xbox One version, senior creative producer Naoya Hatsumi explained that PES Productions is "still at a stage where we can't give a definite yes".
"When you consider that question comes from us having just PS4 consoles available for gameplay on the floor, it's just purely for the development reasons," Hatsumi...
New shooting system to bring a new level excitement to scoring goals.
Developed jointly by Konami's Tokyo and Windsor-based PES Productions team, this year's game promises to return to the franchise's core PES values of total control, responsive controls and unrestricted control of the in-game action.
PES Productions says it has completely reworked the in-game shooting and goal-keeping mechanics.
Excitement Of Goals
A new shooting system allows a variety of unrestricted shooting styles with the promise of precise control over the direction and power of all strikes. To balance this, goal keepers close angles and are capable of reacting in...
Master League Online gets major Ultimate Team-inspired overhaul - but will it avoid being pay-to-win?
MyClub is described by Konami as an "extensive Master League Online overhaul" that "allows players and managers to be added using accumulated GP or via micro-transactions within club dealings".
"If you don't have a lot of time then you can - with microtransactions - go and buy the great players that you want," James Cox, PES UK studio head told VideoGamer.com this afternoon. "But you also can earn the Game Points in [MyClub] and other parts of PES as well. We're trying to link things together. You can earn a few Game Points in training, exercises and other things, so you can...
Well, "a level of visual acuity and in-game advances that were previously impossible" for starters.
'But last year's game used Fox Engine,' I hear you say. You're right, but Konami says this was only using Fox in "an embryonic form".
On PS4 and Xbox One we're promised "a level of visual acuity and in-game advances that were previously impossible".
The key benefits include:
Behavioural Patterns: PES 2015 now boasts players that both look and play like their real-life counterparts. Konami says it has recreated over 1,000 players with bespoke animations and playing styles. A player's frame of mind even affects how they perform on the pitch.
BioWare offers a brief update on her character profile.
A new character profile published on dragonage.com reads: "She has many names. Most know her as "Sister Nightingale" or "the Left Hand of the Divine." To the rare friend, she is Leliana.
"They say she found faith amid darkness, and that her devotion to the Maker is matched only by her devotion to Divine Justinia V, a woman who is both mentor and savior.
"Those who have earned her loyalty know her as a steadfast ally. But enemies of the Divine know to fear her, for she is the shadow behind the Sunburst Throne - the one who watches and waits, who strikes when her mark is...
A fun experience that's better looking than its predecessor, but suffers with the same issues from Civs past.
There’s no denying that Civ Rev 2 is a much better looking game than its predecessor. Civ Rev was largely a simply-presented game in order to function on the devices available at the time. The sequel jumps to 3D, with a bunch of cool new animations and better looking terrain to make for a more engrossing experience. The only trouble is, having reviewed it on an iPad 2, I ran into a few crashes, with the game slowing to a crawl on occasion too. But for the most part, it worked fine.
Naturally, the flow of a game is much faster than traditional Civ, and with that the tropes of...
The community's most wanted fixes and improvements, says Visceral.
In a new Battlefield Blog post, lead multiplayer designer Thad Sasser thanked players for their feedback and posted a list of ten game changes, which Visceral is calling the 'Community's Most Wanted'.
1. Movement
There was a lot of feedback about slow movement speed and feeling "sluggish". Visceral has increased player speed by 10 per cent, and players will get a +10 per cent bonus for running with your pistol out.
2. Supression
There were a lot of negative comments about the camera "bounce" when suppressed. Visceral has changed the way suppression works – your...
