less when the lawyer is an AI

by

Many Lawyers are turning to AI to write their writings and arguments, sometimes with quite disastrous results; from Penalties for including false quotes to trials canceled. Today we receive another piece of news that relates the legal profession to AI, but in a completely different way. The AI ​​wins its first trial. They tell it in Guardian. An HR consultancy has won the trial in which it claimed non-payment to a client. So far everything is normal, the extraordinary thing is that the legal services have been provided by an AI law firm. An artificial intelligence prepared the case, managed the documentation and finally hired a lawyer to attend the oral hearing. Garfield AI. It is the company that is the protagonist of this case. According to their own websiteare “the first law firm in the world authorized and regulated to provide legal services entirely through artificial intelligence.” The company is authorized by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, the body that deals with regulatory matters related to solicitors in the United Kingdom, and specializes in claims of up to £10,000. AI prepares, a human executes. As we said, the AI’s job in this case was to prepare all the prior documentation necessary for the trial. The system drafted the initial letter, prepared the statements of four witnesses and compiled the dossier for the trial that took place in Wandsworth County on May 14. However, since an AI cannot attend a trial, it is necessary for a human lawyer to attend the hearing. Dominic Li was chosen for the task and stated that the AI ​​presented the case “clearly and effectively.” Affordable. The result of the trial was that payment of the debt, which amounted to 7,000 pounds, had to be made. The cost of the process was £400, something that paying a normal law firm would have been much more expensive. According to Philip Young, the co-founder of Garfield AI, many claims are usually not filed precisely because the expense of going to trial exceeds the amount claimed. Tools of this type can democratize access to legal advice for these types of cases. Advocacy. The legal profession threw itself into the arms of AI long before ChatGPT was on everyone’s lips and there is plenty of news about the use of AI tools in legal processes. However, usually the stories are more along the lines of lawyers not checking the AI’s answers and they end up citing invented jurisprudence as happened in Galicia. In the Canary Islands there was also a lawyer sanctioned to cite no less than 48 false sentences.

HBO Max brings to Spain an advertising system that identifies the clothes they are wearing on the screen to try to sell them to you

by

You have already gotten used to paying a cheaper rate on your subscription in exchange for watching ads. That model is about to take a new turn: artificial intelligence to detect which objects are “saleable” from what appears in the series you watch, to try to sell it to you. Similar to Prime Video advertising that leads to the corresponding sale on Amazon, but a step further in terms of sophistication. What does it consist of? Warner Bros. Discovery announced on June 19 that HBO Max will launch in Spain and other European countries, such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the Nordic countries (in addition to Brazil and Mexico in America), before the end of 2026, a new advertising format called Moments. The system uses artificial intelligence to detect the objects that appear on the screen during a series or movie and inserts advertisements linked to those objects in real time: if the protagonists use a bicycle, the advertisement can be for that bicycle, or an equivalent one. If the scene takes place on a flight, the following commercial break may carry an airline commercial. Those responsible. The system is developed by the American company KERV.aiwhose technology already works with different applications for Disney, Hulu, Paramount, NBCU, ESPN, Samsung Ads or Vevo. Its proposal is object-by-object analysis of audiovisual content: it not only identifies the general theme of a scene, but also the specific visual elements that appear in it, with sufficient precision to correlate them with specific advertiser products. 25,000 moments. According to Warner, the system has already identified 25,000 moments in the HBO Max catalog where these types of ads can be activated. Thematic categories available to advertisers include cooking, fashion, beauty, luxury goods, fitness or well-being. In the United States, where Moments is already active, Warner has recorded a 19% increase in viewer engagement and a 13% increase in purchase intent compared to conventional advertising formats. Juicier than product placement. The fact that a brand pays for its car to appear in a movie or its soft drink to be on the protagonists’ table requires a prior agreement between the brand and the production team, negotiated before filming. It is effective, but expensive (also at the organizational level). Moments, however, works on top of existing content. The AI ​​detects the item and makes it part of advertising inventory. It is very attractive for advertisers and the platform: content shot five years ago can generate advertising impacts today. All this theoretically, of course: no one has signed in blood that the series and films are not going to begin to modify their future content to try to get closer, precisely, to a 2.0 version of the product placement traditional, which worked with the same premise: what you see can be bought. Amazon arrived first. In May 2025, Amazon announced in its annual presentation to advertisers a format of pause ads contextual for Prime Video. Amazon’s AI analyze the scene at the exact moment the viewer presses pause and generates in real time an ad with dynamic copy adapted to what appears on the screen. The difference with HBO is obvious, and in favor of Prime Video’s business: jumping from an ad to Amazon does not pose any problem for the viewer: according to company data88% of Prime Video viewers in the United States have purchased from Amazon, allowing you to introduce purchasing habits data into the equation. No cookies. Warner, in fact, sells just the opposite. Moments’ press release highlights that the system uses “contextual signals instead of personal data”, meaning it uses a “privacy-first” design. Warner lacks the personal data that Amazon has, so it embraces this advantage for the user: it does not require tracking the user between sessions or building a profile. Moments doesn’t know who you are, only what you’re seeing at any given moment. Advertisements on platforms streaming It is, increasingly, a very juicy business. According to studies As of August 2025, 45% of Netflix’s consumption in its ad-supported markets was already occurring from the ad-supported plan, up from 34% a year earlier. HBO Max recorded an increase of ten percentage points in the same period. That is, the proportion of viewers who watch streaming with advertising it does not stop growing, and Moments arrives at a time when this advertising inventory is crying out for more sophisticated ways to cajole the viewer.

200,000 years ago humans already made their beds, although in their own way. We know it thanks to a remote cave in Africa

by

We know that bed frames emerged a long time ago. more than 5,000 yearsthat Tutankhamun was buried next to several cots (including one foldable) or that in the Middle Ages it was not unusual for people to sleep in closetsbut… How did our most remote ancestors, the prehistoric humans who spent their nights in caves, manage to rest? Did they have beds? And if so, how were they prepared? Did they do something similar to the sheet changes? A remote cave located on the border between South Africa and Eswatini just cleared some of those unknowns. And their answers are fascinating. The science of sleep. Few things come more naturally and spontaneously to us than sleeping, but that doesn’t mean it’s a simple matter. Not at least for researchers who are dedicated to studying rest from a scientific perspective, psychological and historicalwhich is precisely what a group of archaeologists has done who has examined several remains of beds in Border Cavea prehistoric site located in the Lebombo mountains with an extensive record that spans from the Paleolithic to the Iron Age. Experts have known about the cave for about 90 years and have been excavating it for decades in search of information about our most remote ancestors, but it still has some surprises in store for them. Recently, for example, they analyzed several sediments at a microscopic level that allowed them to identify something curious: six microfacies with remains that tell us about different types of prehistoric ‘beds’. Beds made basically with plants and ash. Why is it important? To begin with, because the remains located by archaeologists in Border Cave cover a very broad period of time. It is known that the cavern was occupied during a period that extends between 220,000 and 43,000 years back. In fact, the remains of beds date back to between 161,000 and 43,000. Some are even older and date back to 200,000 years ago. As if that were not enough, there is another key fact: there are not many strata studied with a level of detail like that of Border Cave. Experts had already analyzed vestiges in Shibhudu or the deposit of Diepkloofboth in South Africa, but the new sediments have allowed them to go one step further and better understand what resting areas were like in Prehistory. Vegetable beds. One of the conclusions reached by the researchers is that the beds were made with herbs Panicoideaea subfamily of grasses. and reeds. With these materials, the inhabitants of Border Cave created different types of ‘beds’, some with patterns very similar to those seen in other sites in Africa and others apparently novel. “We describe six microfacies stratigraphic characteristics identified in the Border Cave deposits, which cover a period between 200,000 and 43,000 years,” the researchers point out in a study published in Journal of Archaeological Science. “Several match those described at Sibhudu and Diepkloof, although with small and potentially significant differences. Three microfacies, associated with more recent ‘grass mats’, have no published equivalents.” The trail of ash. In the cave, archaeologists have not only found remains of plants. They also located ash. Revealing ash deposits under the plant beds that leave behind some interesting ideas and tell us about how they prepared the ‘beds’ tens of thousands of years ago. For example, archaeologists report that thousands of years ago the inhabitants of Border Cave could use ash as a resource to keep their resting areas dry and warm and keep insects away. Another possibility is that they burned old vegetation to add new one, an idea that is not exactly new. “The construction of plant-based beds and their maintenance with the burning and addition of fresh material has received increasing attention in the search for the origins of modern human behaviors,” recognize. Looking at our ancestors. Another telling clue is that not all Border Cave is the same. Archaeologists have seen important differences depending on the age of the deposits, something that can be seen in the burned remains or the concentrations of phytoliths. For example, the more modern ‘beds’, those between 60,000 and 43,000 years old, are less fragmented and also appear to have been less burned and walked on. “New evidence pointing to the deliberate placement of ash on surfaces prior to bed construction is ambiguous, but the creation of beds over existing or purposefully displaced ash deposits was clearly common practice across all occupations,” ditch.

The giant Jinko Power is preparing a solar complex of almost 400 MW in Huelva

by

The energy transition that Spain is experiencing towards much cleaner energy continues to attract international interest, and the south of the peninsula is consolidating itself as one of the great European epicenters for photovoltaic deployment. The last thing we have heard is that the Asian company Jinko Power is strongly expanding its footprint in Andalusia, advancing simultaneously with two energy macroprojects that will add hundreds of megawatts to the national grid. The case of Huelva. The most recent movement in the offices has the province of Huelva as the protagonist, since Jinko Power has obtained prior administrative authorization for the installation of the new PV La Puebla 3. A movement that is vital for the project to go from paper to reality. We are talking about a plant that will inject 150.08 MW of power, although this park will not be alone, since, as specialized publications detail, the facility is the centerpiece of a huge complex grouped under the name “La Puebla” and that will be located between the Huelva municipalities of Alosno and El Cerro de Andévalo. They are going to go much further. In this way, the Chinese company’s master plan in Huelva includes up to four interconnected photovoltaic projects with powers of 100 MW, 80 MW, 150 MW and 59 MW that, together, will reach close to 400 MW of total capacity. Although for now they have to continue with the bureaucracy, since this authorization allows them to continue with the processing that still presents different filters at a technical and environmental level, although we already see that the previous experience that this company has indicates that the project in the south of the peninsula will be a reality. The Malaga case. This advance in Huelva clarifies Jinko Power’s roadmap in Andalusia, separating this new file from its other big bet in the region, which is already much more advanced. We are referring to the Antequera macroplant, in Malaga. And to put into perspective the financial and technical muscle that is being deployed by the company, the Malaga project has an investment of 135 million euros with an installed power of 175 Mwp ​​and an area of ​​329 hectares. Here the objective is to reach almost 65,000 homes annually.

review with features, price and specifications

I have been tied to a keyboard or a touch screen for so long that when I signed up for Language School it seemed very strange to me to carry a notebook and pen to take notes again. So as soon as I had the opportunity to get my hands on a digital notebook, I didn’t think much about it: the naturalness of writing by hand and how comfortable and practical it is to study with digitized text afterwards: without having to tear out pages, waste time going clean or having crossouts. Or trying to read my handwriting, which I can tell you is terrible. I had been thinking about buying a digital notebook for some time precisely because of those advantages they offer. If it also has artificial intelligence functions to transcribe voice recordings or translate like the iFlytek AI Note 2I was clear: where should I sign? This is a high-flying digital notebook and that has its B side: it is not suitable for all pockets, including mine. ✅ Buy it if… You want a large but light and stylish digital notebook. You are looking for a device compatible with third-party Android apps and the Google ecosystem. You also want to work with your voice. ❌ Don’t buy it if… Subscription passes. You also want it as a reader (it does not have a backlight). You don’t want to spend a lot of money. The essentials in 30 seconds The iFlytek AI Note 2 is a digital notebook with a 10.65-inch black and white e-ink display. Everything you write or draw with the stylus you can have in a short time on your tablet or on your computer thanks to the fact that it is Compatible with essential and most used third-party appsfrom the Google suite (essential for me because it is the one I use in my work and in class) to Notion or Trello. The secret? Which runs on Android 14 and has Google Play. If you like notebooks and writing the old way, the writing experience is agile, pleasant (that little rubbing noise becomes addictive) and immediate, since the latency is minimal. The range of brushes available and their pressure sensitivity is good, but it does not reach the level of excellence of other brands such as Wacom. Between its wide compatibility and how natural it feels to write by hand, I find it great for taking notes. Of course, if you want it to draw, there are better options. That it has a microphone seemed like a bonus to me, for example, to take notes out loud (literally) in class, for presentations and meetings, or voice commands from the AI. Precisely that versatility is what makes it different: it is a vitaminized digital notebook with a lot of potential in professional settings. Of course, taking into account what it costs, expectations are very high and you do not expect it to have some paid functions or that the AI ​​to transcribe text can clearly be improved. What does that subscription offer? For 5.99 euros/month or 60 euros per year you unlock offline transcription, support more AI models (by default, GPT-5), unlimited note synchronization, and an extended warranty program. iFLYTEK AINOTE 2 Smart E-Ink 10.65 Inch Tablet | Ultra-Slim Digital Notepad for Professionals | AI Transcription, Translation and Meeting Summary |

We believed that Adobe was threatened with death by AI. It turns out that it is one of the few companies that is making money from it

by

In the last year Adobe has lost almost half of its value. Twelve months ago it was trading at $382. Today your actions They are listed at $197.. Wall Street has clearly punished a company that certainly seemed to be threatened with death by new generative AI models. The surprise is that Adobe is not only not doing badly with AI, but it is doing really well. Wall Street says one thing, the data another. In the second fiscal quarter of 2026, the company achieved some historical results with record revenues of $6.62 billion (up 13% year over year). Earnings per share (EPS) have shot up 18% to $5.96, and although the NASDAQ charts say otherwise, Adobe is not only not suffering, but appears to be stronger than ever. A money making machine. Adobe is in fact behaving like a true software empire. In 2025, it managed to have free cash flow of $9.85 billion on revenue of $23.8 billion. Its operating margins are also the envy of the sector: they stand at 37% (47% in terms non-GAAP). Its subscription business is absolutely exceptional, with annual recurring revenue (ARR) already reaching $27.1 billion. Others burn money with AI: ADobe earns it. While most companies do not stop investing money in the hope that the bet will pay off very profitable in the future, Adobe is ensuring that its generative AI tools are already having a positive impact on its results sheet. Income ARR Dependents on “AI First” solutions have tripled in just one year, and the big driver here is Firefly, Adobe’s generative AI platform. She alone has exceeded $250 million in ARR and continues to grow. Companies trust Adobe. We users may love using Gemini or ChatGPT to create AI images, but companies that relied on Adobe products for their creative workflows continue to do so. 75% of Fortune 500 companies already use Firefly, but the company has also trained more than 2,500 custom AI models for large corporate accounts. Users do not stop growing. Another advantage that AI has brought is that the technical barrier to using Photoshop or Premiere is lowered because the integrated AI assistants help users create what they wanted. There are also simplified tools like Adobe Express (70 million active users per month), and the freemium approach has been another reason for the number of users to grow: in just 12 months Adobe has gone from having 700 to 850 million users. The vast majority are still users of the free features, but Adobe it is enough to convert 2% to paying users to ensure that all these efforts are profitable. But the competition is tight. Although things seem to be going very well, Adobe now faces a fragmented ecosystem with a lot of competition. These new rivals also take advantage of AI to “attack” very specific use cases. It happens with Canva, for examplewhich has become a real threat and already has a turnover of 4,000 million dollars. Midjourney, Runway and even the Spanish Magnific are platforms that have fully embraced the AI ​​revolution to offer services to both individuals and companies. Be careful with subscriptions. Adobe is not immune to market fluctuations. The company stands out for maintaining extraordinary profitability in a very specialized niche, but it has taken questionable business decisions recently. The notable price increase of your subscriptions last year and its limits to generative credits have been decisions highly criticized. This has caused users to flee to cheap or even free alternatives such as Affinity or DaVinci Resolve. Uncertainty. There is another striking detail that can critically influence the future of the company. Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen advertisement who was leaving the company after 18 years at the helm. There is no designated successor and this comes in the middle of that transition to a world full of generative AI solutions. The risk is therefore notable, and whoever takes the reins of the business will have to make very important decisions to not jeopardize the future of an already legendary technology company.

Foie gras was one of the last armored culinary symbols of France. They did not have a rival that measures it in tons: China

by

In 1778, French Marshal Jean-Pierre de Clermont-Tonnerre gave foie gras to King Louis XVI and the monarch was so impressed that he rewarded the cook with lands and a pension. Since then, the product was sealed as one of the great gastronomic symbols from France. More than two centuries later, that culinary crown is beginning to find competition far from Europe. The gastronomic bastion that seemed untouchable. For decades, the Foie gras It was one of those symbols that France considered almost part of its national DNA. It was not just a luxury product or a profitable export, it was a centerpiece of your food sovereigntya cultural emblem protected by designations of origin, rural tradition and a political machinery willing to protect it. When the sector celebrated a trade surplus in 2025 of 35.6 million eurosthe message was clear: after years of bird flu and mass slaughter, French foie gras was still standing. The wound of bird flu. The blow of bird flu It was deep. In 2022, French production fell to historic lows, barely touching the 8,000 tonsan unthinkable figure for a country used to dominating this market. The mandatory vaccination of ducks starting in 2023 managed to stabilize the sector and return it to levels close to 17,000 tons in 2025. That recovery seemed to confirm that France had closed the crisis. What no one expected is that, while he was healing his wounds, another actor was growing at full speed. China enters the scene. that actor it was china. In just a decade, it went from producing about 2,000 tons to touch 14,000placing itself dangerously close to the French leadership. The quote by Fabien Chevalierpresident of CIFOG, summarizes the surprise of the sector: “We didn’t see them coming like this.” And that is perhaps the key to everything. France thought that foie gras remained one of its last armored culinary totems. What he did not have was a rival who does not measure his ambition in tradition, but in tons. Scale changes everything. The comparison is brutal. While an average French producer produces around 10 tons per year, Chinese farms like Li Fengshan’s They produce 300 and aim for 500. The contrast is almost industrial versus artisanal. Li, who grew up in poverty and today drives a Maserati Thanks to foie gras, it symbolizes the Chinese transformation: turning a Western luxury into a mass product. On their farms, each worker handles more than 400 geese and the livers can exceed a kilo, easily doubling the usual size in France. Where the French see terroir, the Chinese see scalability. From luxury to popular consumption. The great revolution is not only in producing more, but in changing the meaning of the product. In China, foie gras is no longer just an elite delicacy: mixed with fried riceserved in a hotpot or transformed into cherry or rose-shaped desserts bathed in red wine. This democratization has triggered internal demand and has allowed prices to be drastically lowered. A dish can cost between 4 and 10 dollarscompared to 15 or 40 euros in many French restaurants. That changes the global market: when luxury becomes cheaper, the symbolic monopoly begins to break down. The next step: export. Until now, most of Chinese production stayed at home. That barrier is beginning to break down. As? Reuters counted that Chinese producers are already preparing exports to South Korea, Japan, Russia and Southeast Asia, and some have already sent batches to the United Arab Emirates. For France, the threat is not so much in Europe, where denominations continue to carry a lot of weight, but in those emerging markets where the “foie gras” label is worth more than its origin. The battle between story and volume. France continues to rely on its main advantage: the prestige. Labels such as “foie gras du Sud-Ouest” continue to be a cultural and gastronomic guarantee that is difficult to replicate. The problem is that economic history is full of examples where scale ends up eroding the story. China has subsidies, intensive labor, low costs and a immense industrial capacity. In fact, even now start talking about robots to automate force feeding. French foie gras still retains its aura, no doubt, but for the first time in a long time its dominance no longer seems like a natural inheritance. It seems like a position that will have to be defended. Image | Annie Tu, Charles Haynes In Xataka | 3D printed meat was a utopia years ago.

I’ve been covering Prime Day for four years and these are the five deals that I wouldn’t miss in 2026

by

Amazon has started the Prime Daybut… are there any good offers? It may not be the most powerful campaign of the year (we leave that to Black Friday), but there are discounts that are striking enough for us, the e-commerce editors of Selección, to fall for one or another. That is why, after four years covering this type of events, I wanted to review the five offers that I have taken advantage of or would like to take advantage of on Prime Day 2026. Logitech G923 by 229.99 eurosa steering wheel for PC and PlayStation consoles that includes several accessories. Tomtoc for Nintendo Switch 2 by 28.69 eurosa backpack dedicated to the Nintendo console. Anker Prime Power Bank by 59.59 eurosa very complete powerbank so as not to run out of battery. Fire TV Stick 4K Plus by 33.99 eurosa device to turn almost any dumb TV into a smart one. Ugreen FineTrack Duo by 29.99 eurosa pack with many locators to avoid losing your suitcase, backpack and other objects in summer. The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Logitech G923 Let’s go first with what I bought on this Prime Day 2026. My first purchase was the Logitech G923 because I had been wanting to buy a steering wheel for a long time, and what better way to do it than with a pack that includes both the steering wheel and pedals (with clutch, important) and gear lever. The good thing about this offer is that It is not exclusive for Prime customersso anyone can access it. Its price is 229.99 euros (before 290.87 euros) It is compatible with both computers (Windows and Mac) and PlayStation consoles (PS4 and PS5). If you don’t want the gear lever, you can get another pack that includes the steering wheel and pedals. Its price is 198.55 eurosbut this is an exclusive offer for Prime customers. Logitech G923 – Steering wheel + pedals + shift lever The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Tomtoc for Nintendo Switch 2 My second and last purchase was the tomtoc backpack for nintendo switch 2. It is not the first time I have bought from the brand and, although it is a little expensive, the quality is impressive. I already have it at home and it is better than I expected: the zipper feels very robust, the console fits perfectly even with the official case (an extra security never hurts) and its pocket is padded. In addition, I have tried placing the console, my eReader, headphones and my wallet and everything fits perfectly. In fact, I would say that there is more room for things. The strap also feels very good quality and can be worn on the back or chest. Its price in this case is 28.69 euros (before 40.99 euros) and I’m already telling you that I’m going to use it a lot this summer. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a good travel backpack that can fit a laptop, chargers and even luggage, I recommend taking a look at a article I published here in Xataka about a Tomtoc travel backpack. I use it every three or four weeks for weekend trips, and with it I don’t need to carry a suitcase. Its price, yes, is 71.99 eurosalthough I already told you that it is worth every euro. Tomtoc Backpack for Nintendo Switch 2 The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Anker Prime Power Bank On Prime Day last year I took advantage of the offer that the Anker Prime Power Bankand now that it’s cheaper I can’t stop recommending it. But let’s go first with the bad and get it out of the way: although it is not very big, it is noticeable when you carry it in a backpack or small shoulder bag, and its weight of one kilo is a big burden if you are going to take it everywhere. I carry it in a backpack similar to the one on the Nintendo Switch 2 that I bought and that I normally use when I leave the house so as not to carry things in my pockets. After a while my shoulder feels heavy. Now let’s go with the good (which is a lot): it has a capacity of 20,000 mAhso many devices can be recharged. I usually use it with my cell phone, headphones, smartwatch and more; It even works with MacBook. The 100W power It is ideal for charging my phone in a short time and its screen shows the charging status, as well as its remaining autonomy and temperature. It has three USB ports (two USB-C and one USB-A) and takes just one hour to fully recharge. Its price is 59.59 euros (before 62.79 euros) The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Fire TV Stick 4K Plus In January I bought a Fire TV Stick 4K Plus for my television, and it surprised me a lot. I already had other HD models that I have given to family members and I opted for the 4K Plus because my TV is a relatively recent smart TV. It is ideal for converting a dumb TV (with an HDMI port) into a smart one, although for this it is better to use the cheaper HD model, especially if the TV is not 4K. In my case, it has been very good for me because it is compatible with 4K resolution, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmosso in this case it is the same as my TV. What I really liked is its performance, because it runs very fluid at all times. This was the problem I had with my Xiaomi TV, so it solved it perfectly. Its price is 33.99 euros (before 69.99 euros). The price could vary.

The GTA VI trailer is about to drop, but Rockstar wants you to keep talking about the game with a barrage of hyper-realistic screenshots

by

If you thought today was well stocked with news about ‘GTA VI‘, Rockstar has decided not to. Today the editions have been known and the price of the game, with pre-orders opening at midnight on June 25. But to make sure we spend the day talking about his next gamethe company has updated its official materials with 70 captures in 4Kshowing characters, vehicles, settings, weapons and outfits with a level of detail that invites you to enlarge each image. At the time of writing there is no third trailer, but instead we have screenshots. Lots of catches. The cast. About half of the capture collection is from characters in the game: Jason Duval and Lucía Caminos have six captures each, and the game’s six confirmed supporting players (Cal Hampton, Boobie Ike, Dre’Quan Priest, Real Dimez, Raul Bautista and Brian Heder) have four captures each. Some clues about the most notorious: Jason Duval grew up surrounded by criminals, went through the army and ended up working for local drug traffickers. Lucia, for her part, has just been released from prison and wants to once and for all get the good life that her mother dreamed of in Liberty City. The secondary ones form an ecosystem of criminals from different strata. For example, Boobie Ike is a local Vice City legend, with an empire that spans from real estate to a strip club to a recording studio. Dre’Quan Priest is an ambitious producer who wants to turn the Real Dimez duo into stars, that is, Bae-Luxe and Roxy, friends since high school who turned their experience extorting neighborhood dealers into viral rap songs. And there’s more: Raul Bautista is a veteran bank robber and Brian Heder, an old-school smuggling narco who still moves product through his shipyard with his third wife. The places. Many of the other captures are from locations. Rockstar has confirmed six main areas of the game’s map: Vice City, Leonid Keys, Grassrivers Marshes, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga National Park. And with these captures we can immerse ourselves a little more in the careful setting: Vice City as Miami amplified (and interiors of a good number of the city’s nightlife venues); the Leonida Keys, Brian Heder’s territory (water everywhere, boats, that aspect of deep Florida that seems in a perpetual state of decomposition…) And there is more: Port Gellhorn as an industrial port area, and Ambrosia and Grassrivers that suggest a humid interior of dense vegetation, in the style of the Everglades swamps. Finally, Mount Kalaga National Park, the greenest and wildest space in the pack: a mountain full of forests that contrasts with all the coastal asphalt that abounds in the rest of the images. The cherry on top: the Vice City Vintage Pack. Twelve screenshots that capture, with all the impudence in the world, the decadent neon atmosphere of ‘Miami Vice’, the series that has always been the unconfessed reference framework of Vice City. With the announcement of the packs It has been specified what this includesand it is a paradise for devotees of shoulder pads and hairspray: the ’55 Vapid Stanier as an exclusive vehicle, a multitude of customization options for 80s hairstyles and clothing, and tropical patterns to decorate the weapons inspired by Tommy Vercetti’s Hawaiian shirt. But… are they catches? It is the great mystery that Rockstar, of course and by the account it brings, does not resolve: none of the 70 screenshots show a HUD. There’s no health bar, no minimap, no money gauge, and none of them take the third-person perspective of ‘GTA’. That, added to the hyperrealism of the graphics (the fluids and the hairstyles are especially spectacular) lead us to the usual question: cinematic or gameplay? Rockstar describes them as screenshotswhich, to be strict, would refer to game sequences, but we have already been teased too many times with that issue since the days of the Spectrum. So the doubt remains on the table, but in the meantime, we can celebrate neon, phosphorus and satin white nights.

only for Xtra members

On June 30 you have an appointment. The third, specifically, with the Xataka team, because yes, we closed the first month of summer with the third Q&A exclusive for members of Xataka Xtra with in-house editors. On this occasion we will have some new faces and others already known, but in any case, you are more than invited! We will review the dynamics immediately, but not before giving the key data: the date, the time and who will participate. Here is the info: Day: June 30. Hour: 17:00, Spanish peninsular time (16:00 in the Canary Islands). Assistants: Alejandro Alcolea, Rubén Andrés, John Tones, Javier Pastor, María González and Jose García. Connection link: we will provide it to you later by email. How Q&As work The Q&A are relaxed online conversations between Xataka fans and Xataka editors. They are part of the package of benefits included in Xataka Xtra and its format is very entertaining: There is no agenda, there are no predefined topicsthere is nothing at all. In these meetings we talk about whatever you want, be it the tech news of the week, the GTA VI trailer (if it comes out) or the umpteenth madness of some millionaire. It is not a formal meeting by any means, but rather a quiet time to see each other, catch up and unwind talking about whatever you want. The easiest way to imagine it is as if we were meeting on a terrace to have coffee, only virtually (and with less heat, probably). Like last time, the meeting will take place through Google Meet, so there will be no need to download software. We will send you the link by email one hour before the event so that you can connect from the device you have closest to hand. Needless to say, using the camera or microphone is completely voluntary, as is participation. If you don’t feel like it or it doesn’t work for you, absolutely nothing happens. As for the participants, we will do a rotation in each Q&A so that you can put a face to us all. For this second meeting we will have Alejandro Alcolea, Rubén Andrés, John Tones, Javier Pastor, María González and yours truly, Jose García. In Xataka | Subscribe to Xataka Xtra
