The latest <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/halo-5-343-announce-news-youve-all-been.html" target="_blank">Halo 5: Guardians DLC</a> saw the full release of Forge Mode and fans have been quick to try out some of its new tools.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Microsoft revealed during its launch in November that the new Forge was built with years of community feedback in mind and had an impressive rundown of features to build new maps.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some of the new tools include groupings that can be created dynamically with a single button press, Multi-Select/Edit allowing for the selection and manipulation of up to 64 individual objects at one time and 1700+ Objects to choose from that can be mixed with weapons, turrets, and power-ups.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One fan on Xbox One has decided to take on a major project by trying to recreate the Battle of Hoth from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.</div>

It appears the curtain has fallen on the <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/metal-gear-solid-5s-kojima-talks-new.html" target="_blank">Hideo Kojima</a> era but that doesn't necessarily mean the end for the popular series.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The iconic game's director has left the company to form his own, Kojima Productions, which will release its first title exclusively on the PS4.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rumours have swirled around Konami’s plans for their top IP, with many fans concerned that the <a href="http://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/gaming/627563/Metal-Gear-Solid-5-Konami-Update-PS4-Xbox-One-New-Weapons-FOB-Mission-Event" target="_blank">Phantom Pain</a> could be the last AAA instalment in the series.</div>

None of this gives away much about what kind of game Konami have in mind, could we a follow up to Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, or perhaps a full blown reimagining of Kojima’s earlier work?</div>

Based on 10 professional reviews, the Phantom Pain beat The Witcher 3 and Bloodborne to the top, scoring a 95 out of 100.</div>

It should be noted that both titles beat Metal Gear Solid 5 when it came to user scores, 7.1</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A message on the site explains: “Just 9 console releases achieved a 90+ score. And two of those were expansion packs, while two more were ports from other platforms. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“So the list of "new" great console titles this year is a short one: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (on both PS4 and XB1),Bloodborne (PS4), and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt(PS4/XB1).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Of those, Phantom Pain received the highest individual score (for its XB1 version), making it our official game of the year for 2015.”</div>

METAL GEAR Solid 5 director Hideo Kojima is leaving Konami to setup up his own team that will work with Sony to produce a new PS4 exclusive title.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>UPDATE ONE</strong>: Sony has confirmed that Metal Gear Solid 5's iconic director, Hideo Kojima has entered into an agreement that will ensure that the first gaming title created by the newly formed Kojima Productions will be an console exclusive to PS4.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The new title will not be connected to either new Metal Gear or Silent Hills projects as they are both owned by Konami.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sony say they will not be investing in Kojima Productions, while its first title will also be available on PC following its release on PS4, although it is currently unclear how long the exclusivity deal would last.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I will be taking on a new challenge by establishing my own independent studio, and I am thrilled to be able to embark on this journey with PlayStation, who I have continued to work with all these past years," said Hideo Kojima, Game Designer, Kojima Productions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I cannot wait to deliver, with PlayStation, a game that will become a compelling franchise."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"PlayStation(R)'s history is one of game innovation and great new franchises," said Andrew House, President and Global CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Hideo Kojima has been a huge part of that history, and we are therefore delighted that he has chosen to bring his brand new project to life in partnership with PlayStation. We look forward to working with him on an exciting new game and warmly welcome him to the PlayStation family."</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
KONAMI have confirmed that a new December update for Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain will go live today.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The latest instalment in the popular franchise has captivated players with its dynamic gameplay and storyline, and was unlucky to miss out on Game of the Year 2015 to the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Metal Gear Solid 5 was released in September and has already received a number of updates, but the <a href="http://www.konami.jp/mgs5/tpp/en/news/update201512.php5" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">December patch looks to be the biggest yet</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Konami are introducing a custom FOB camera and mine placement, allowing players to create their own situations in order to effectively dispatch enemies.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Engage this new mission Event FOB and cleanse the world of Skull Face’s legacy.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Raiden and Cyborg Ninja outfits are now available in FOB Missions, with new rewards added to additional Challenge Tasks.</div>

Gamers can also test their skills in FOB Security Challenges, with the completion of specific tasks also earning extra rewards with Event Points.</div>

METAL Gear Solid 5 could have new story events unlocked in the future by Konami, while Phantom Pain director Hideo Kojima highlights some interesting Phantom Pain speculation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It can't be denied that Metal Gear Solid 5 has earned both high praise for it formulative open-world action and controversy for its apparent ending on Xbox, PlayStation and PC platforms.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As it is still unclear if Konami plan to continue the story through <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/09/metal-gear-solid-5-konami-give-update.html" target="_blank">Phantom Pain DLC</a> content, fans have taken to looking over the game's code to find out if there are any more surprises planned.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A recent Metal Gear software update brought back a rather important buddy companion, following their official disappearance from the game in a scripted event.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, it appears that bringing them back was always part of the plan.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>SPOILERS AHEAD:</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That's according to new reports that claim dataminers discovered code in the game that revealed the story event was always set to be put in motion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It also lists two other story sequences, including one involving Liquid's departure, which could also be part of the incomplete Missions 51, named titled Kingdom of the Flies, that was included in the Collector's Edition of the game.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another vague line of code called, Story Sequence, has also been found but it is unclear exactly how any of this fits together.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One man in the know would be director Hideo Kojima, who has been busy highlighting some in-depth Phantom Pain analysis from writers Manabu Makime & Hitori Nojima, who both have ties to the franchise.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Good speculation of MGSV TPP by 2 Japanese best-seller Novelists," Kojima tweeted, providing a link to the discussion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I also think that the exclusion of "Kingdom of the Flies" doesn't actually influence the main story," Nojima is quoted as saying.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"If "Kingdom of the Flies" had been in there, it would have been a pretty long segment by itself, and if you look at V's story as a whole, adding in "Kingdom of the Flies" as well would disrupt its balance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Unless it was spun off as a separate story entirely, it would ruin the structure of V's narrative. My personal guess is that really, they wanted to release it later as DLC, or something like that."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Konami have said in the past that they have no news regarding DLC content, or a big <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/metal-gear-solid-5s-konami-update-gta-5.html" target="_blank">Metal Gear Solid 5 update</a>.</div>

The personnel at Rockstar have proved a dab hand at creating some seriously successful content for GTA 5, which have also been keeping fans busy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This weekend saw the release of a Friday The 13th special, allowing fans to build up their cash reserves and RP by doubling the payout on a select 'Slasher' playlist.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Two horror-themed jobs were offered along with other especially scary Adversary Modes, including "Siege Mentality" and “Hunting Pack”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These events spreads throughout the year help fans buy some of the new expensive gear and cars that have been added to the game and is also one of the reasons of the continued success of <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/gta-5-update-reveals-new-dlc-success-as.html" target="_blank">GTA Online</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Updated earnings results for the quarter ending September 30 from Rockstar Games' parent company Take-Two Interactive have been revealed, showing strong growth in microtransaction sales.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keeping the game loaded with new content appears to be working out for Take Two, with the largest contributors to net revenue in the fiscal second quarter 2016 were NBA 2K16, Grand Theft Auto 5 and Grand Theft Auto Online, NBA 2K15, and Borderlands: The Handsome Collection.</div>

<a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/metal-gear-solid-5-update-konami-give.html" target="_blank">Metal Gear Solid 5's</a> iconic director, Hideo Kojima teased fans before its launch that the game would features something that had never been tried in video games before and it seems we may have found just what he had planned.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fans on PC have unlocked a new ending that includes a secret nuclear cut-scene that reveals an alternative look to some of the game's key characters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cool Easter egg has so far eluded users on all platforms, with no one managing to trigger it as of yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And unfortunately for fans who hope to see it outside of Youtube, the task at hand looks pretty steep.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The official <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/metal-gear-solid-5-update-konami-give.html" target="_blank">Metal Gear Solid V strategy guide</a> reveals that fans need to have completed mission 31 and must have no nuclear weapons or be building one.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next step involves "certain conditions related to nuclear proliferation" to be met on the regional servers including the corresponding platform of either PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS3 or Xbox 360.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The final condition that must be met is that the total number of nukes available on the server must be zero.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That means a lot of players working together to remove the nuclear threat, something that appears almost impossible.</div>

Video game publisher Activision look to have scored another breakthrough hit in the Call of Duty franchise with the release of Black Ops 3.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Claiming it to be the biggest entertainment launch of the year, the games giant have estimated that in its first three days, the Black Ops 3 exceeded $550 million in sell-through worldwide</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This would mean it would be crowned the biggest opening weekend entertainment launch of 2015, including theatrical box office, music and book launches.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/black-ops-3-down-call-of-duty-fans-hit_11.html" target="_blank">Call of Duty: Black Ops III</a> launch is bigger than any game, any movie, or any entertainment launch this year.  But more importantly, our fans are engaging more deeply with the franchise than ever before. In fact, so far, people are playing Black Ops III for more hours per player than any Call of Duty game on record”, said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Call of Duty is more than a game, it’s a year round passion for a growing base of millions of fans and it’s only gaining momentum.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 While Adam Boyes, VP of Publisher and Developer Relations, Sony Computer Entertainment America, added: “As we‘ve said from the start, PlayStation is the best place to play Call of Duty and this record-breaking launch shows how true this statement is.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Black Ops III is the biggest launch of the year so far and the PlayStation Nation is ready.  We’re proud to call PlayStation the home of Call of Duty and look forward to supporting our community with DLC map pack content first."</div>

Sounds simple enough, until the other parameters are revealed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next step involves "certain conditions related to nuclear proliferation" to be met on the regional servers including the corresponding platform of either PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS3 or Xbox 360.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The final condition that must be met is that the total number of nukes available on the server must be zero.</div>
It means fans will be able to carry on their adventures with their chosen buddy after mission 45, leaving the door open to doing things a little differently.<br />

<section class="text-description">It follows the news that Konami are working with one of the UK’s leading creators of prosthetic limbs to build a bespoke bionic arm for a young gamer.</section><div style="text-align: justify;">
Working closely with renowned prosthetics artist, Sophie De Oliviera Barata and a team of engineers, roboticists and product designers, Konami will help produce a highly stylised and multi-functional limb for 25-year-old James Young, drawing from the Metal Gear Solid aesthetic.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"James tragically lost an arm and a leg when he was dragged on to the tracks, between two carriages of the London DLR as it was pulling in," a Konami statement explains.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Despite his loss, James refuses to let it interrupt his life and hobbies of travel and video games. He has become extremely adept at playing games one-handed, and was carefully selected by Sophie as a candidate comfortable with the idea of an eye-catching alternative limb and who would benefit from the capabilities it offered."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sophie De Oliviera Barata's past designs have included SteamPunk arms and cyborg-inspired legs, and she also designed the crystal leg used by amputee performer Viktoria Modesta during the opening ceremony of the 2012 Paralympics.</div>
