New update for Metal Gear Solid V adds Ocelot for FOB missions, new swimsuits and more
Konami has released details on an upcoming Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain update releasing next week, on August 1st. This update allows you to use Ocelot as a playable character in the FOB mode, giving you some advantages in firefights such as the ability to reload faster and ricochet bullets. Some new costumes will also be added, new grades for the wormhole generator will be available, and minor issues will be fixed as well. Note: this update is only available on Xbox One, PS4 and PC, and not on PS3 and Xbox 360.
Ocelot is finally available in FOB missions !
You can play as Ocelot to infiltrate FOBs. You cannot change the uniform or the head option, but Ocelot has a slightly increased camouflage value, and he reloads and draws his weapons faster. He can use one pistol in each hand with the TORNADO-6. He can also use ricochet bullets on marked enemies.
*The defense value matches the highest defense value within the unlocked battle dresses.
2017.08.01 ～New functionalities for the Wormhole Generator
When place beforehand the Grade 9(★9) Wormhole Generator can now automatically extract the player when in a critical situation. Additionally, opponents cannot remove a placed Wormhole Generator anymore, and it is now harder to destroy.
Higher-grade Wormhole Generator E-RB WH GEN.[★10～12]
New functionalities come with three new Grades 10,11,12. The Generator automatically extracts the player who placed the generator dies or is stunned.
2017.08.01 ～New swimsuits for FOB staff
New swimsuits and new colors have been added. As usual you can wear those swimsuits when defending your FOB or infiltrating the enemy FOB.
Goblin Suit GOB SUIT
Only available for Diamond Dogs soldiers. There is no camouflage effect but the suit lightness increases your movement speed.
Megalodon Suit MEG SUIT
Only available for Diamond Dogs soldiers. There is no camouflage effect but the suit lightness increases your movement speed.
Other minor updates
Some minor issues have been fixed.
This is the first major update to the game since August last year, when the swimsuits were added. It’s nice to see MGSV getting some more support from the team.

Good guy Konami strikes again with free update. Really cool to see that Konami is still actively supporting two-year old game.
2 years old. Damn time flies.
Huh…I was not expecting this, ocelot on FOB seems cool, maybe they’ll add other characters, and to single player as well. New swimsuits look cool too.
Now ain’t that a reason to play some MGSV this evening :^)
OT : Mates, KP’s graphics programmer Kohei Ishiyama-san will have a talk at SIGGRAPH 2017 in 2 days at Los Angeles Convention Center !!
Monday, 31 July, starts at 2:00 pm to 5:15 pm and KP’s talk is at about 2:55pm, so around midnight for Europe.
For those not really familiar with SIGGRAPH, this is the very mecca of graphics programming. A bit technical like GDC but way bigger and mainly for research, professional graphics / visualization applications in general. Decima will be exposed there so let’s hope we’ll have at least some snapshots of DS.. Fingers crossed.

He’s gotta be our Big Boss!
*Has PTSD flashbacks to Suicide Squad*
Leto: Why are we still here, just to suffer?
Batfleck: No, we’re on contract, remember?
Leto: Oh, yeah!
*Batman and Robin#2 without batman and robin and a bittt better but still awful
The suicide squad are a black ops team
Not a superhero sausage fest like the movie was
Watch Batman:Assault on Arkham
Seriously tho that’s probably his only film where he had a bad performance
I like this new conspiracy.

PS. Well, this excerpt was a joke, but the inverview part is real. Go listen, good stuff there all around.
Nice! How do you get the Goblin and Megaladon ones though
