Rockstar announces $500,000 in-game Stimulus Package for GTA Online players
Saran999 posted a topic in Tech News
Technical issues are pretty much a guarantee these days whenever a highly anticipated game makes its online debut. It’s incredibly frustrating not to be able to play your just-purchased game as the creators intended and rather than try and prepare for the issue ahead of time, it seems publishers are content to work out the kinks or add more servers after the fact and shovel freebies at gamers to make up for it. Such is the case with Rockstar’s latest smash hit, GTA V. While the single-player mode is outstanding, the multiplayer segment was predictably met with numerous technical issues. As a peace offering to those that have been unable to enjoy the online experience, Rockstar is offering anyone that has played or will play GTA Online this month a special in-game stimulus package. Specifically, users’ bank accounts will receive $500,000 of in-game cash starting as early as next week. To help keep the worldwide in-game economy in check, the money will be awarded via two separate deposits of $250,000. Specific dates will be announced as soon as possible, Rockstar promised, and they hope this will facilitate a fresh start or makes your continued in-game life a bit sweeter. Players must first install the latest inbound patch (1.04) which is expected to remedy some lingering issues like vehicle purchase loss. Otherwise, no additional actions are required and the money should automatically appear in the in-game bank accounts of eligible players.

Researchers at Disney have invented a unique method to generate tactical feedback on a smooth glass display – all without physically modifying the screen. Unlike traditional haptic feedback solutions that use a vibrating mechanism, the new method uses electrostatic combined with a slick algorithm to accomplish the same task. The researchers determined that the sensation one feels when sliding a finger across a bump on a surface was mostly caused by the fingertip being stretched and pulled as it travels over a raised area. This sensation can be created artificially, the Mickey Mouse team found, by using electrovibration to generate electrostatic. This in turn creates friction which is said to feel just as if your finger was coming into contact with a raised area. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=zo1n5CyCKr0 Using the aforementioned algorithm, the team is able to generate sensations on-the-fly. For example, an on-screen ball would feel like a gradually curved surface while a stack of DVDs would exhibit a series of bumps as if running your finger across them in real life. The technology has a lot of potential, especially for those with a visual disability. What’s more, typing or playing a game on your mobile device could become a whole new experience although I’m not so sure how I feel about the idea of constantly getting zapped by my phone or tablet. I imagine its safe or they wouldn’t be looking into it for everyday use, but I digress.
