Elder Scrolls Online on PS4 and XBO requires CD key, rental and resale hindered

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo

When console gamers get a chance to buy The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited for either the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, the thing they grab in a package will contain a CD key. That’s right, welcome back to the 90s and early 2000s, folks. CD keys are a thing again.

If you want to play the obviously always online Elder Scrolls Online, you’ll need this one-time-use CD key. That means you have to buy the game new, no rentals, resales or loans to friends allowed.

This whole thing came up on the game’s official forums, and one of the devs responded with specifics that confirm the existence of the CD key requirements.

“To clarify, you will need a unique game registration code in order to play the game, and used copies will not be eligible to receive a key if the code has already been redeemed…

…It works the same way as the PC version in that the code included in the box is to activate your ESOTU account and the discs are for installation purposes. If you own the disc but don’t have a key, you’ll be able to install the game and reach the login screen, but you won’t be able to log in and access the game without an active ESOTU account.”

Wowsers.

Some folks are offering up that this totally makes sense and is a non-story because the game is an MMO. Perhaps, but TESO is an MMO trying to make it on the console scene, a place with different standards for rental, loan and resale. The game should adapt to the standards of the platform, and not ask its users to change their frame of minds in order to play along.

So, no, you won’t be able to get TESO: Tamriel Unlimited used. You also won’t be able to rent it.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly ...

Grandia II confirmed for an HD re-release on Steam

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo GungHo Entertainment of America apparently has the results of its recent customer survey , and Grandia II  is the lucky winner scoring the first HD remaster out of it. The report comes to us through GameSpot where the company claims that the game was given “enthusiastic” support. Grandia II was originally released on the Dreamcast in 2000 to quite a large amount of fanfare, and it arguably remains the second most popular RPG on the console after Skies of Arcadia . I played the PlayStation 2 version in 2002 way back when, and I wasn’t too impressed. However, the Grandia franchise is also home to that classic style of JRPG storytelling that only gets better with age. Maybe I’ll have to dedicate some time to this cult classic whenever GungHo gets around to publishing it. President of GungHo America Jun Iwasaki chimed in on the response. “With the rise of digital downloads, it is especially important that classic g...

Star Wars: Battlefront will not have classes

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo When it comes time to pick your gear and weaponry in DICE’s upcoming relaunch of  Star Wars: Battlefront , you won’t be sifting through classes or class-specific stuff. That’s because the new  Battlefront has no class. I don’t mean that in a belch during dinner at a fancy restaurant kind of way, either. I mean you won’t be picking stuff like Engineer, Assault or Support before you roll onto the battlefield. In an interview with OXM , as summed up by the magazine’s sister site  Games Radar , Design Director Niklas Fegraeus indicated that classes are out. You’ll be able to pick and choose between unlocked weapons and gear freely and build to your own style. Furthermore, Fegraeus also indicated that  Battlefront will not feature the five-person squad feature that  Battlefield  offers. Instead, players will run as partners, a group of two system that lets players stick together, appear on one another’s HUDs and spawn besi...
