Can someone explain to me why a generic open world game is suddenly considered something revolutionary here?

Revolutionary by Zelda standards. Also it's far from generic, given that it's Zelda's first iteration in the genre and it utilizes mechanics from a lot of different game types that haven't necessarily been seen in open world games before.
looks to me like it's the game that SotC wanted to avoid to be
not that there's necessarily anything wrong with that
>God of War is similar to the Last of Us
>But fans are happy because everyone was getting tired of Hulk-Kratos killing big things all the time
>Resident Evil 7 is similar to other first person horror games
>But fans are excited because it can do some unexpected shit for the series and may actually be scary
>Legend of Zelda: BotW is similar to other open world rpgs
>But fans are exciting because the franchise has been stale AS FUCK and having so many mechanics instead of focusing on one gimmick makes it seem like Nintendo is actually putting some creative effort into a well loved ip
The context is that it's new to the franchise.

Which mechanics? the open world ones, not the Zelda ones.
>>342131553
Because from what I've seen, they're doing it right.
Open world was always a great concept done poorly.
>>342131553
Because TECHNOLOGY

Dragon's Dogma is an generic open world game not this
>>342131553
Because zelda games are more like, puzzle/adventures.
they are full of unique tools and dungeons and charming characters, always fun!

Aren't you that faggot that shows up to defend Witcher 3 in every thread?
You really shouldn't be accusing any other games of being "generic open world games" when you have such awful taste in them yourself.
All they need now are towns/villages (which are confirmed, I think) with side quests on par with Xenoblade Chronicles X.

NPCs are confirmed. Not villages or towns.
You have to find them and they are hidden.
Basically LoZ1 style shit.
Expect a "this is a secret to everyone" thing to happen.

>Not villages or towns.
Fucking wrong. Trinen talked about towns during Treehouse. Towns have been officially confirmed.
>>342135290
I didn't say they wouldn't be in the game. Just not confirmed. and this is news to me.
Fellow BotWbros, it's time to start ignoring these threads and letting them die. The people that still "don't get it" are just attempting to slow the hype train. The game is going to be amazing.

Bill said they made the E3 demo build without towns and NPCs because they didn't want any story details spoiled.
