H1Z1 cheaters allowed back if they publicly apologize on YouTube

H1Z1

Some feel that getting a ban hammer for life after being caught cheating is a little extreme, and I agree. We make mistakes from time to time, and everyone deserves a second chance once punishment has been doled out and the crime atoned for.

H1Z1 developer Daybreak Game Company also agrees that players who have been expelled from its game are welcome to come back after a heartfelt apology. No, not an apology to the developers themselves, though. What does that accomplish besides a guilt-free trip back into the expansive, anonymous unknown? No, if you want back into H1Z1, you have to make your apology real and do it in front of those who you cheated against…

…through YouTube! You know, public shaming.

Daybreak’s John Smedely has the guidelines on his Twitter page.

Don’t ever say that a decent public shaming is an insufficient punishment. It does work. Already, three people have apologized, and Smedley has their videos linked into his Twitter account. Be sure to check them out! Talk about awkward!

Great system, and maybe others will follow suit. A lifetime ban is never the answer, and this should be penance enough to at least let the H1Z1 community consider letting people back. Daybreak is only offering this temporarily, and three players out of the 30,000 banned have been let back in. One is even having his ban reinstated for making the video private after the decision to let him back in was made. Harsh!

This offer expires today at noon, so if you were one of those people banned by Daybreak, by all means, you better hurry up! Just be sure to look like this guy when you do.

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...

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...

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 ...
