It appears EA may have some big changes in mind for <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/star-wars-battlefront-major-update.html" target="_blank">Star Wars Battlefront</a> in the future.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are already plans afoot to make more content available in single-player mode and a new DLC is set to be announced by developers DICE very soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, when it comes to the future of the series and what fans on Xbox One, PS4 and PC, they may find their feedback has had a much bigger impact.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
EA have reportedly launched a major feedback drive for the game, with a new survey allegedly released asking fans key questions about the series on a range of topics.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The questionnaire appears to focus mainly on future titles, although it is unclear just what kind of impact the feedback would have on the upcoming DLC offerings set for release in 2016.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The survey reportedly covers a lot of different subjects, asking fans about their expectations for the Season Pass, the inclusion and importance of combat types, such as ground-to-space vehicle combat, as well as what Force Awakens content they were looking for.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other ideas touched upon in the survey included hero crossovers, alluding to the idea of Anakin Skywalker facing off against Han Solo, along with the importance of including material from the Clone Wars.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Call of Duty: <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/xbox-one-news-gta-5-dlc-update-reveal.html" target="_blank">Black Ops 3</a> continued its strong showing into 2016, spending the first week of the new year at No.1 in the UK sales chart.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chart-Track reports that the titles that dominated early 2016 were pretty much the same as those during the holidays, due mainly to the fact there have been no new major releases since.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Games did shuffle in the list though, with the likes of FIFA 16 clawing its way back up to claim the no.2 spot, while some old titles made a big comeback.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having been heavily reduced during the holidays, Battlefield 4 returned to the top ten, just behind Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate and Just Cause 3.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The top ten can be found below, although it doesn’t include any digital sales data.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/destiny-bungie-reveal-update-on.html" target="_blank">Destiny: Taken King</a> fans have been hit by a series of issues this week, affecting both the Weekly Nightfall Strike and collecting the new emblems earned by logging in between January 7 and January 10.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fans found themselves barred from continuing the Sunless Cell earlier this week due to a door not opening ahead of the Darkblade boss showdown.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was a big quest-breaking bug which has finally been fixed by Bungie.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The studio has also confirmed that the bug stopping those users who had earned the new Rising Sun emblem - from playing the game on the correct date - should also have been given their reward.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We have resolved issues impacting distribution of the "Rising Light" New Year's Gift Emblem,” am official Bungie support message reads.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Qualifying players may need to re-launch the Destiny Application in order to acquire the Emblem.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There have been other problems plaguing the game of late, with the PvP Crucible hit by never-leaving corpses, health bars appearing not to deplete and epic lag that has allowed players to kill from beyond the grave.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These issues have apparently been solved, with Bungie adding: “A fix has been deployed to resolve some recent issues impacting Crucible gameplay.”</div>

Destiny update: Bungie talk February Taken King plans as new event points to Mercury

<div style="text-align: justify;">
BUNGIE have revealed they have new plans to update Destiny: The Taken King in February and have also teased a new event.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>UPDATE ONE:</strong> Destiny fans who received the new bundle of goodies included in their bonus for logging on and playing The Taken King between the dates listed below, have been discussing just what the next step for the epic space shooter might be.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Rising Light emblem also came with Motes of Light and Strange Coins and appears to point to the next location being cooked up by Bungie.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The notice of the new items came with the title: "Days of The Dawning" which is also thought to be connected with a new in-game event.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Rising Light emblem looks to depict the VEX buildings of Mercury set against a giant sun, could the venue of Osiris' temple be the next big location to visit in The Taken King?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Destiny was always expected to include more adventures on the planet and it would appear that it could be about to play a bigger role later this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It remains one of the last explored planets in the Solar System, playing host to the Trials of Osiris temple, its special exclusive social space for flawless victors and a selection of PvP maps.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was revealed in 2015 that Mercury was originally going to play a much larger role in the overarching Destiny story but was largely cut, along with a main character during a story reshuffle during development.</div>

The studio are currently holding back on posting their usual weekly updates on how they hope to improve the game, and have confirmed that they will be sharing no new information until next week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, Bungie did confirm on Twitter that they have plans to release a new <a href="http://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/gaming/631219/Destiny-update-Bungie-Year-Two-PS4-Taken-King-Xbox-One" target="_blank">Destiny update</a> in February.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Destiny is patched frequently to make way for new quests and secret gear to be unlocked; the last major revamp for the game was in December.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/destiny-in-trouble-is-bungies-space.html" target="_blank">Bungie revealed</a> that they would be sharing more information next Thursday, but won’t be making a big announcement.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The Bungie Weekly Update will return on 1/21. Not a major reveal, but a preview of our February Update. More to come,” the official Destiny reads.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Neither Destiny devs, or Taken King director Luke Smith have given much away about what is planned in 2016 but leaks have suggested that a new game could be released near the end of the year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It also appears that the studio may be gearing up for the first big Destiny event of 2016, which could be titled “The Dawning”.</div>

The Destiny database has been updated with several new items related to The Dawning, a name that would fit in well with the start of the new year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With a heap of new items related to the subject - references made to a new dawn in the recent Bungie year review - and the subject being touched upon in a recent email sent out, it appears likely that it will have some kind of connection to Bungie's new plans.</div>

Step forward Tom Clancy's The Division, which takes Destiny's fundamentals and places them in a modern-day apocalyptic New York City.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Players will be able to roam free around town in groups or own their own in order to track down the source of a killer virus, and Ubisoft are hopeful The Division can become the gaming world's new favourite online multiplayer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Speaking about comparisons with Destiny, The Division's IP Director Martin Hultberg said: "The fact that our scenario is grounded in reality, an actual 'what if' scenario, sets up apart from most other games.</div>

The studio have taken a break from their weekly blog and look set to return with coverage of their latest update for the game in January 2016.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There will also be quite a few players who will also be returning to the game, having picked up the Taken King during the holidays and hoping to find out what new secrets have been added in the Taken King.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A new guide on what returning fans or new players should be on the lookout for has been posted by Bungie, covering some of the more important points in Year Two, while also touching upon the recently launched Level 25 microtransaction deal.</div>

A post written by community manager Cozmo highlights what will be important to those hoping to explore the game's additional content.</div>

"New players will have the option of playing through the game with a brand new, un-leveled character or using the provided Spark of Light consumable to immediately reach level 25 and access all story content in Destiny: The Taken King," the post reads.</div>

Fans, meanwhile, have been busy voting on what they thought was the most difficult exotic bounty from Year One, with an overwhelming response to one certain headache.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With over 1400 votes counted and a heap of personal stories and woes told, The Thorn triumphed with over 1100 votes, followed by Pocket Infinity, PoE weapons, Bad Juju, Invective and Super Good Advice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Light in the Dark exotic weapon bounty is obtained from Vanguard Mentor Missive and rewards players with the Exotic hand cannon, Thorn. To claim it means completing the Summoning Pit, killing Hive enemies on the Moon, Xyor, the Unwed and using Void Damage to defeat Guardians in the Crucible.</div>

The news comes on the back of some major server maintenance last week, with Destiny fans unable to play their favourite game for around four hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is believed that a 2.1 update is set to launch at some point this week, and could see new weapons and items added to the Destiny universe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But for now, 'Taken King' players will be able to test their Sparrow skills until the patch is released.</div>
