The 33rd annual Golden Joystick Awards saw Grand Theft Auto 5 pick up four awards for Best Multi-Player for its online version, while the introduction of the first-person mode won Innovation of the Year.

Other awards included Best PC Game and the PlayFire Most Played Award, if anything spells success like bringing in the gongs, then Grand Theft Auto has proved it can still battle with the best of them.

It should also be noted that the Golden Joystick Awards is the only gaming award ceremony in the world voted for by the gamers themselves and included over 9 million votes cast.

 

That GTA 5 originally launched in 2013 and continues to evolve on the newer platforms of the Xbox One, PS4 and PC only goes to show the enduring support the titles continues to recieve from its dedicated fanbase.

Declan Gough, Future’s Head of Content & Marketing, Film, Games & Music, says, “The Golden Joystick Awards have once again demonstrated the depth and remarkable innovation of the video gaming world.

"The awards have been a triumph, not only for Future and the gaming industry, but also the gamers who have voted in their millions to make sure their voice is heard. We look to the 2016 awards with huge excitement in the knowledge that the next 12 months is full of incredible games - and they are only the one’s we know about!”

And speaking of those hardworking gamers, a new mod unleashed this week adds a new crime-fighting vehicle to the game.

A fully equipped Batmobile has been put together, allows fans to blast around the city using the built in rocket launchers and turbo boost.

THE top gaming rumours this week includes GTA 5's next DLC revealed, Metal Gear Solid 5's new ending and fresh Fallout 4 news.

 

GTA 5 players will soon have new vehicles and items to choose from with the release of Rockstar's next planned DLC.

That's according to new reports this week that claim to have found evidence of a new property in a future GTA 5 update that will allow the super rich quick access to helicopters and speedboats.

The super yacht, first seen in the GTA 5 Online Heists update, is set to be released for players to buy and would come with a boat dock and helipad.

A description has apparently been found describing the new base as 'a floating palace' which will allow the top gamers on Xbox One, PC and PS4 the chance to flaunt their wealth even further.

"Equipped with its own boat dock, helipad and luxurious interior living space, it's a floating palace fit for a particularly prosperous mogul," the leaked description reads.

There has been no confirmation from Rockstar on any new updates, although it's expected that further cars are set to be added to the Lowrider lineup that allows for deeper vehicle customisation.

 

Metal Gear Solid 5 fans appear to have found a fourth ending to the game that has yet to be correctly unlocked by players on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3 and PC.

It appears to be connected to the Phantom Pain's FOB Mode, focusing on nuclear disarmament and including certain key characters from the game's main story mode.

Konami have stressed in the past that they haven't finished with the game and that there was still plenty to discover in it.

The official Metal Gear Twitter account explained: "Today is the one month anniversary of the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

"It's been amazing so far, but there's more to see.

It was revealed earlier this week that Konami, having shipped 5 millions copies of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, are now preparing for the development of a sixth instalment of the game.

 

Fallout 4 news this week includes various leaks of gameplay from the PC and PS4 versions of the game and also an update on how the game has been put together by Bethesda.

The studio decided to skip having the post-apocalyptic game as a launch title on each console and instead focused on how they could create Fallout 4 using a long development cycle.

"The first thing we did was port Skyrim to Xbox One,"Bethesda's Todd Howard told Gameinformer, before adding "Don't get your hopes up yet."

This was done to help the development team get to grips with Sony and Microsoft's new consoles faster, with the game now less than a week away from release.

It was also revealed this week that Fans on Xbox One who own Forza Motorsport 6 will have the chance to try out the Ford F100 Fallout 4 Edition truck in-game.

Two Fallout 4 vehicles will be released, the new F100 is available now, while the Chryslus Rocket 69 will be released in 2016.

GTA 5's update has produced some new millionaires, while the game's online mode continues to pay big time with new DLC from Rockstar and Take-Two.

 

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 for GTA Online.

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.

And the decision for the Rockstar team to continue focusing on DLC content production for GTA Online looks sound, with revenue from recurrent consumer spending - including virtual currency, downloadable add-on content and online games over multiple titles - growing 39% year-over-year and accounted for 51% of net revenue from digitally-delivered content.

Digitally-delivered revenue stood at $141 million, according to Take Two, with the largest contributors listed as Grand Theft Auto, NBA 2K, Borderlands and the WWE 2K series.

 

Rockstar and Take Two, meanwhile, continue to see a dedicated fanbase exploring the game's multiplayer experience, with GTA Online boasting 8 million players per week.

Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two commented on the impact of the company's biggest games, adding: “Our second quarter results were anchored by the series record-breaking launch of NBA 2K16, along with ongoing demand for Grand Theft Auto V and strong growth in recurrent consumer spending.

Rockstar also revealed who was set to become in-game millionaires via GTA 5's Lowriders and Halloween Snapmatic Contests.

 

A message from the developers explained: "Snapmatic photographers all over southern S.A. competed to see who could most artfully capture the freshly tailored rides from GTA Online: Lowriders and who could come up with the most photogenically frightening scenarios featuring the new content from the Halloween Surprise.

"We’ve dived into Social Club to find Snaps worthy as the winners of the official #LOWRIDERS and #HALLOWEEN Snapmatic Contests and recipients of GTA$1,000,000."
