Microsoft rises strongly the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate in Spain. The increase comes next to a renewal of plans

If you are an Xbox Game Pass user or you are thinking of subscribing to the Microsoft service, prepare for important changes. Adjustments have just come into force that do not go unnoticed, including a strong increase in the price of its most complete modality. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate now costs now 26.99 euros per month. It is a 50% increase compared to the 17.99 euros paid so far. It is not the first time that this plan increases its price: in July 2024 it had already gone from 14.99 to 17.99 euros per month. The justification. According to the company, Ultimate will give access to more than 400 titles worldwide, “including most of our partners who wish to continue bringing their future games to Xbox Game Pass.” In addition, the service will offer support for 1440p resolution and improvements in the bits rate on certain devices. How far the changes arrive. Microsoft has also reorganized the offer and says goodbye to the previous nomenclature.

Premium, the intermediate option. With this plan you access more than 200 games both in console and PC, in addition to the possibility of playing in the cloud without limit, even with titles you already have in your library. • More than 200 games in console, PC and cloud • Access to classics such as Minecraft, Forza Horizon 5 or Grand Theft Auto V • New games published by Xbox available within a maximum period of 12 months (excluded Call of Duty) • Game in the unlimited cloud, also with own titles • Advantages In-Game in League of Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone or Rainbow Six Siege • Rewards of up to 50,000 points a year The ancient standard plan subscribers will automatically pass to Premium. It remains in the strip of 12.99 euros per month, that is, there is no price increase with respect to what we paid with the plan with the previous denomination. Essential, the new entrance door. With a more tight price, it offers the basics for those who want to try the service without great pretensions: a reduced catalog, cloud game and online multiplayer. • More than 50 games in console and PC • Access to prominent titles such as Hades, Stardew Valley or Cities: Skylines Remastered • Game in the unlimited cloud, including some games that you already have • Online multiplayer in console • Benefits in games like League of Legends and Call of Duty: Warzone • Rewards of up to 25,000 points a year We could say that they are designed for those who seek to start in Game Pass or just want access to a more limited set of games with basic advantages. Its price is encrypted at 8.99 euros per month. What about active plans. Restructuring does not force users to do anything: Microsoft will apply migration automatically. As we say, the old Core will pass to Essential, those of the standard plan will move to Premium and those who already pay Ultimate will continue in that modality. In development.

Terraces that absorb the noise and let you know if you pass volume

One of the favorite neighborhoods to leave in Valencia is Ruzafa. It concentrates a lot of gastronomic and leisure offer, which for visitors is wonderful and for neighbors not so much, than They have been complaining years of noise on weekends. The City Council has had an idea to minimize noise: terraces that absorb sound and warn when certain decibels are passed. The project. It is being carried out within the framework of Valencia Innovation Capitalan initiative of the Department of Innovation. The objective is to create an official model that can be taken to other parts of the city and that “responds to criteria of sustainability and resilience to climatic conditions, with the aim of facilitating the right to rest of the neighborhood”, as reported in Europa Press. At the moment the project is in a pilot phase and the Ruzafa neighborhood has been chosen to carry out the first test, which will end in November. Ecoterrazas. Thus they have called the new anti -Red terraces that have already been installed in nine stores on Cura Female Street, one of the busiest in the neighborhood since it is pedestrian and is full of premises. The terraces have several elements focused on reducing both noise and heat. Are the following: Umbrellas: They have several layers and a special fabric that can reduce the temperature. Phonoabsorbent discs: made with a material that absorbs sound waves. At the same time they act as parasol.

The reaction of the neighbors has not been waiting. The Russafa Association rests described the “posture” measure and denounced that just three days after the installation several panels had already been collected. In addition, the project is concentrated in one of the busiest streets, but the problem It affects more than twenty streets in which there are almost 300 leisure and restoration stores. Zas. Are the acronym for Acoustically saturated zone. The Ruzafa neighborhood It has been declared declared Zas Zone. This measure cuts the opening schedules and limits the new terraces licenses. However, it does not collect anything about other types of establishments. The neighbors already They have denounced that it does not include any measure to limit the schedules of discos and pubs. Many of these stores are soundproofed, the problem is that people spend a lot of time in the adjacent streets, generating noise high at night. Insufficient. The truth is that the initiative of the anti -Red terraces is interesting as a starting point to minimize noise, but in gentrificed neighborhoods such as Ruzafa, full of premises and also tourist apartments, the problem of noise goes beyond the terraces of the bars. Neither is its effectiveness: the same day of its installation Noise levels that reached 67 decibels were recorded In the two areometers that the City Council has installed on that street. The maximum registered in this location has reached 74 decibels, according to the City Council in its Sonometric study.

Years pass and television continues to mark the times to Netflix. Montoya’s “signing” is the best example

The success of the latest edition of ‘The island of temptations’ is difficult to quantify. Already Not only is it figuresfigures that have achieved tame the two great current titans of the AccessBroncano and Motos: The impact between the public has gone much further, turning Montoya into a international scope meme and that transcends languages. The last to surrender: Netflix. Montoya, please. In these same terms the Netflix original and officers In social networks to promote ‘Temptation Island’, a reality which has eight seasons and that will arrive on March 12 to Netflix, after passing through US chains such as Fox and use Network. To promote it, Montoya has launched all its ICT repertoire: shout “no, please”, run from one place to another and kneel with arms to heaven. A very brief video of just thirty seconds but that records the international scope of the Montoya phenomenon. Montoya, the man announced. Montoya has not stopped since the phenomenon exploded in networks. In recent weeks has already participated in nine adsin almost all using their best -known colets and attitudes. Interestingly, it has not only announced trademarks such as the King’s League or Burger King, but also organizations that do not usually interest television characters, such as FP courses or waste recycling. In the height of the Stunts advertising promoted a brand of sweets Just before jumping to the sea at the Gala last Sunday of ‘Survivors’. It is not exhausted. Precisely, the presence of Montoya in ‘Survivors’ is what has made the broadcast of this last Sunday the best premiere of the program in Share Since 2020, reaching a spectacular 19.6% and leading the night strip without problems. 1,683,000 spectators followed the arrival of Montoya to the island, one more evidence that, despite the overexposure and the multiple advertising appearances of Montoya, the phenomenon has not yet been burned. The Talisman of Telecinco. Beyond the anecdote of the announcement, it is clear that Montoya has become a magnet for audiences to such an extent that Telecinco has managed to get Netflix following its wake, and not the other way around, as usual. It is not just the overwhelming personality of the Andalusian, it is also the proof that traditional linear television, so often out of conversation In social networks and tastes of the youngest viewerskeep marking the pace when it manages to house a phenomenon as powerful and international as Montoya. Reality fever. We have commented on occasion that Telecinco, after unsuccessful attempts to emerge with different formats (the failure of the Latin programof ‘Whoever falls fallsor the talent ‘Factor X’ and ‘Next Level Chef’ will mark its grill for years), it has become a producing machine realities. They have happened in their programming, without rest, ‘Big Brother Dúo’, ‘The island of temptations’ and, now, ‘Survivors’. A policy that, again, has taken good Netflix note, since it is easy to find on its grill realities of spicy tone as ‘false love’, ‘playing with fire’ or ‘love with bail’. Montoya’s shadow is being more elongated than we expected. The traditional TV rules. As much as For years An unstoppable decline of traditional TV is being perceived in front of the streamingin many ways that continues to mark rhythms and trends. Let’s not forget that, for example, one of the greatest success of prime video in Spain throughout its history is’Operation Triunfo‘, clone of the legendary talent of the linear TV. Or that, do what the platforms do with their luxurious original releases, the most seen in streaming They are still linear classics as ‘Gray’ Anatomy, ‘Family’ or ‘Law and Order’. The success of ‘the one that is coming’ in Prime Videoeven above Telecinco, it is still the proof that the situation is far from being able to define itself with blacks and blacks, with victorious and defeated.

In search of the lost ark ‘, the answer is to pass it black and white

At this point, say that Steven Spielberg It is one of the best directors in the history of cinema, it is meaningless. Has shaped Incredible works And, without judging me which is your best movie, I am clear that the one I can see again, another and again without boring me is’In search of the lost ark‘. Not only is the first in the saga of Indiana Jonesbut also a round tape with humor, good argument, sharp dialogues and masterfully shot action. His initial scene with the great rock chasing the archaeologist is part of pop culture and I know I am not the only fan of this film. But I also know that not so many people have seen the black and white version, without sound and industrial metal sounding in the background. Because yes, ‘Indiana Jones: In search of the lost ark’ he has a version made by a fan. And that fan is a winning film director of the best director: Steven Soderbergh. The other Indiana Jones face Soderbergh is a peculiar director. He has films that have been a failure and are somewhat rare, surprises like the raw ‘traffic’ that made him deserving of the academy award and balls such as the saga ‘Ocean’s’. In addition to directing, produces, edits and is director of photography of many of his creations. Also those of others. The director has a blog in which he releases his thoughts, but between filming and filming, at some point in 2014 he thought something like “Has people really see the work so impeccable Spielberg at photography level?” Or something like that, go. Being a director of photography, some of this knows and something proposed: to make his version of one of the most mythical films in history: the aforementioned first installment of ‘Indiana Jones’. I have to admit that, of all the times I have seen it, I had never done it as when I saw the Soderbergh version. I focus on action, I look at the definition of the first planes, I let myself be carried away by the music of John Williams and I must admit that the grain and the color palette flips me. But never, and see that I like photography, I had given me to value that aspect of the movie. I of course was good, but with what Soderbergh did … there I realized to what extent Spielberg is a teacher. Because Stephen does not want to improve what Steven did. Not only would it be a disrespect, but a boldness. What he wants is, precisely, to exalize Spielberg’s work, that everyone can put aside the elements that have nothing to do with pure and hard photography. And, for this, he applied a series of changes to the tape. The first and most evident: it was the color. Not only did he put a black and white filterbut made it hard, accentuating the shadows until it is indistinguishable. It is what stands out the most, but as soon as reproduction begins, the second thing that attracts attention is that John Williams has disappeared. All the sound of the movie, really. The industrial and heavy music of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross bathe each scene. Turning a Blockbuster As this in something similar to the silent cinema of German expressionism, Soderbergh wants us to concentrate on one thing: admire Spielberg’s hand and eye. Also be didactic and that those who are learning from cinema can do it with one of the best. In this link that leads to your blog We can see the full film in this format, and it is surprising that, beyond that you know it or not, only with the framing, the rhythm of the assembly and the movement of the camera, the argument can be followed so well. You can ride the dialogues in your head: the movie simply works. And be careful, it is not the only film that made an alternative montage. There is also ‘2001: Odyssey in space’but unfortunately that entrance was erased from his blog. The truth is that, in this case, Kubrick sure would not have made him a hint of grace. And it is also true that there are films that these changes feel better than others. ‘Logan‘It has a black and white version and I think it would also work if we take away the sound and focus on what we see. But – by saying another that hallucinates me – something like ‘Matrix‘, For example, I would not work at all with such a change, at least in my opinion. The color is tremendously important in the Wachowski tape. I will be delighted to read in comments what this version of ‘Indiana Jones’ “remastered” by Soderbergh. (And what amounted to me most is that you can see free being Disney’s rights).
