Has Sony fixed the issue of the rubber peeling on the thumbsticks?

Yep. You have to download the update for it.

Has Sony fixed the issue of the rubber peeling on the thumbsticks?

It was probably just a bad batch. I haven't had problems with mine.



Sony’s VR tech will be revealed at GDC – and it represents virtual reality gaming’s greatest hope

Sony will reveal its Oculus Rift-beating VR headset at GDC next week, according to developers familiar with the tech.

A prototype is already in some thirdparty developers’ hands, who have told us that Sony’s VR headset is far superior to Oculus Rift’s first incarnation, though that is expected to even out a little with the arrival of Rift’s new, more advanced Crystal Cove devkit. They also said that there’s little software to speak of currently, but they expect to see something from one of Sony’s firstparty studios at GDC, even if it is just a tech demo.

There’s also no pressure on developers from platform holder Sony to adopt the tech; indeed, the studios we spoke to were excited by the technology, but questioned its viability as a platform. The cost of VR game development and its niche appeal means that many developers will wait and see how the Sony-authored experiences fare before committing to VR game development in earnest.

Sony will reveal all at its ‘Driving the future of innovation’ session at GDC on Tuesday, March 18. The event’s description on the GDC site is deliberately brief, but it is significant that it’ll be hosted by senior SCEA research and development executives Richard Marks and Anton Mikhailov. Both men helped develop PlayStation Eye and Move; feeling out the possibilities of virtual reality on consoles appears to be a logical progression for the pair within Sony’s R&D departments. The presence of Sony’s President of Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida lends the showcase extra kudos, too, and its significance is being stressed privately to Sony’s development partners, who are being told that it’s not a session that they’d want to miss. When contacted about all of the above information, a Sony spokesperson told us: “We do not comment on rumour and speculation.”

Nonetheless, barring a last-minute change of plan – which has happened in the past, as the headset was almost revealed late last year – Sony will announce its entrance into virtual reality gaming next week, and it’s a game changer for the medium. Oculus Rift is well-funded and its technology is dazzling, and if you can stomach using VR, we’re already seeing thrilling games emerge. Frontier’s Elite: Dangerous and CCP’s Eve Valkyrie are among the more spectacular examples, but the medium has its problems, too.

MMore complex, non-traditional controllers always excite and inspire game designers, but ultimately the simplest solution will surely win out. And it already exists; Dualshock 4’s light bar in concert with PlayStation Eye could offer both traditional and motion-based inputs for VR games, if executed well.

With Microsoft’s own spin on wearable tech still some way off, Sony already has everything it needs to steal Oculus’ thunder at GDC. It has the audience, the branding and the support of game developers across the industry – if its tech is accessibly priced and can overcome the problem of motion sickness, Sony’s VR headset could be the device to truly kickstart virtual reality gaming.

More at the link. It's a good read and remember it was EDGE who first reported on 8GB GDDR5.

My body is ready and hopefully my eyes are too.

Could DriveClub be at GDC with the VR headset? Maybe a bundle with the headset and the game?

 

[John Wick]

That vr headset looks nice can't wait till they unveil it hoping it works with the ps4

 

[Ricky D]

Finally was able to grab a PS4 camera for retail at BB

 

[parada45]

Cop infamous if I never played the first one?

 

[iYen]

Cop infamous if I never played the first one?

yup. You dont need to have played the previous games, but you'll miss out on references from the previous games. But in my experience that's not too important.

 

[2sappy]

Another massive down grade.


yeesh

Not as bad as it seems to be honest. I'm sure that's how the pc version is gonna look anyway.

 

[Bad Religion]

Maybe if you had said please. But probably not.

Now run to the Xbox thread and tattle on us!

 

[nawghtyhare]

So what's the point / storyline of infamous second son? I never played any of the series and I'm just gonna jump right in to the ps4 version .. Still hate how it's in Seattle that city is terrible

Don't you ever talk about the best.

he's right though
over-rated *** city

 

[bigj505]

I played infamous 1 and 2. gonna miss cole. that said, the new story reminds me of the xmen cartoon

preordered my copy from bestbuy today. traded in BF4 for 45 yesterday. paid 50 after tax today for this.... gotta love BB.

 

[Ricky D]

I plan on playing inFamous 1 and 2 within the next month or so, SS looks really good.

 

[nawghtyhare]

You got $45 for trading in BF4 ...so you only had to pay the difference to get Infamous SS correct?

Yall lucky, I traded in Killzone SF at BB and only got $34 and that was with the 100% trade in.

I really hope Infamous gameplay is as great as the visuals b/c im tired of playing NBA 2k14 and Madden hasnt even been taken out of the plastic.

[iheartboost]

49ers all day, **** Seattle lol.

 

[danikerhino]

Seattle looks nice, just don't know abut that overcast all year. As for Infamous, I want to know how big the city is and if traveling with yours power if going to be the only way to move around.

 

[Ricky D]

Maybe Sledgehammer will take advantage of next gen hardware, IMO this could be a good thing if you still play CoD.

The devs have said that the city is about as big as the past infamous games.

It's just that the game, textures, etc, etc is better.

I would highly assume that you can only use your power to move around.

 

[Cryptomoon]

Man i can't stop playing dark souls 2

Good to know and I think it's the right decision. Don't want to travel forever trying to get from one place to another unless I could get around quick.

Rumor going that AC5 may be set during american slavery.
