A free update for Trials Fusion has gone live, bringing online tournaments and 10 player-created tracks. For the tournaments, Ubisoft said, “Through tournaments players will be able to see how they stack up against other Trials Fusion players. Each tournament will run for a limited time, giving players multiple opportunities to place on the leaderboards to win rider gear, bike parts, in-game cash and experience points. Prizes will be rewarded based on a players’ position on the leaderboard, the higher the rank the greater the prize.” [Press Release]

The upcoming DLC includes new tracks, new bike parts, rider gear, new items for the track editor, and each piece of content will let you experience a new Career Mode Event. [Press Release]

Hideo Kojima had some things to say on Twitter about Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain [Twitter 1, 2, 3]:

Unlike linear game, in open world game, we can’t use the method of creating one spot thoroughly and move to next spot. Instead we are required to create endless map and vast degree of action freedom on the field in order to accomplish gradually. Thus showing the gameplay demo at this stage is still in early stage, but we do it just because we received high demand from users.
