Prime video is becoming an “aggregator” of other platforms. And the arrival of Apple TV+ is the last example

by

It has been since October in countries like the United States or the United Kingdom, but as of today, Apple TV+ will be available within the offer of prime video in other European countries, such as Spain, Germany and Italy. The fate of the Apple platform is still a peculiar symbol of how things are going to the business of streaming… and how Amazon is raised. Amazon friends. Like so many other channels of the Prime Video offer, to access the Apple TV+ programming, an extra (9.99 euros) that adds to the rate that the client already pays for Amazon Prime is added. The offer includes many of the most outstanding series of the Apple platform, such as’Separation‘,’ Silo ‘,’ The Morning Show ‘,’ Slow horses ‘,’Ted Lasso‘, movies like’Wolfs‘ either ‘The secret abyss‘And sporting events such as Major League Soccer and Major League Baseball. Another channel. Apple TV+ thus adds to The offer of prime video channelswhich has become a remarkable reponent of other people’s catalogs, almost forty, although all need the client to pay an additional rate. Among the most outstanding are some of cinema and series such as Crunchyroll, AMC+, MUBI, Lionsgate+or the exclusive Amazon MGM+. There are also sports such as Dazn Pro or Laligatv, although it undoubtedly attracts three platforms that we know for their activity outside Amazon: Max, Skyshowtime and, now, Apple TV+. Apple’s fluctuations. Leaving Skyshowtime aside, a recent platform and of which there are still no data on failures or successes, Max and Apple TV+ coincide in a trajectory of astronomical losses. Warner has spent years old submerged in radical cuts What have Affected to your premiere calendar Already the production of Max and HBO. Apple TV+, meanwhile, has had to end renouncing its purpose of becoming a Major from Hollywood after failures as notable as those of ‘Napoleon’ or, above all, ‘argylle’, as well as vision figures that They pale next to competitors Like Netflix. Time to grow. This last detail is especially relevant: despite the undisputed quality of its catalog, the penetration of Apple TV+ is incomparable to that of its rivals, and hence the treatment with Amazon: geting that series as ‘separation’ or ‘Ted Lasso’ look more is essential to continue producing callity content. Apple TV+ is not collected to give control over its products, something that has always gone against its business philosophy, but in this case it needs it. An previous agreement. It is not the first time that Amazon and Apple reach an agreement related to the content of Apple TV+, since its films were available for rent in Prime Video. What Amazon got in 2020 It was that Apple did not force the spectator to leave prime video and to enter its platform and make him pay 30% commission of the App Store. It was a favor treatment that had an unusual bridge between Apple and a rival company, and made Amazon Partner Apple privileged, undoubtedly taking a first step for the appearance of Apple TV+ as a prime video channel. The transformation of streaming. What is also clear is that the appearance of a channel as relevant as Apple TV+ in Prime Video, adding to Max and Skyshowtime, demonstrates not only Amazon’s financial muscle, which will have had to pay their own for that privilege, but also allows us to advance to a possible streaming panorama transformation. We will stop seeing in the future, perhaps, islets of exclusive content that do not communicate with each other, such as Netflix or Disney+, and we will see more platforms that intersect their catalogs, leaving in the viewer field the possibility of choosing one or another service according to offers, prices or temporary exclusive. Although in that sense, few can shade the splendid offer of Amazon channels. In Xataka | Prime Video has a plan to differentiate from its competition: become a repository of foreign channels

LEGO has been in video games decades, but its latest strategic movement suggests that it is now more seriously than ever

by

LEGO has been present in dozens of video games, but most have been developed by third parties. That could change soon. His CEO, Niels Christiansen, has revealed in an interview with Financial Times that the company is betting again on a team of internal developmentan interesting movement in its strategy. The idea seems clear: having more control over your products. To understand the importance of this step, it is enough to review the history of Lego and how its relationship with the digital world has evolved. Founded in Denmark in 1932Lego began to manufacture plastic bricks in 1949. Over time, he expanded his catalog and consolidated himself as one of the most influential toy brands in the world, although without paying attention to the digital world. However, at the beginning of the 1990s, when computer science began to collect more strength than ever, a group of enthusiasts led by the artist Dent-de-lion du Midi (also known as dandi) thought it was the moment that LEGO would make the leap from the physical world to the films and, eventually, that of video games. Lego in the world of video games To convince the company was not an easy task. Dandi and his team worked for more than a year in the creation of a digital library that recreated Lego bricks in a virtual environment, an idea that was revolutionary at that time. But when they finally presented the project, The answer was a blunt not. Despite the rejection, the team did not give up. Instead of leaving the initiative, they decided to bring their proposal directly to Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, CEO of the company and grandson of the founder. The bet went well. Kristiansen was impressed enough to assign a budget for an in -depth study on the digitalization of Lego products. That study would end up paying fruits. With an initial investment of 11.5 million dollars (about 27 million adjusted to inflation), the “was born”Darwin Project“, an initiative that gave rise to four divisions, one of them dedicated to video games. From here, ‘Lego Island’ in 1997, the first video game for the company’s PC was helped. However, the initial enthusiasm did not take long to be eclipsed by the financial reality of the company. In the early 2000s, in full economic crisis, Lego decided to sell its division of video games as part of a strategy of a strategy Restructuring to avoid bankruptcy, thus delegating the development of their titles in external studies. Today, the situation is radically different. LEGO has not only avoided bankrupt Billing of 10,100 million dollars in 202413% more than the previous year. With its business more solid than ever, the company has decided to recover control over its digital strategy. “We can cover experiences for children of all ages, digital or physical,” says Christiansen. For that purpose, an internal game development division “It is something we are building” The bet is firm. LEGO has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to triple its template of software engineers since 2022 and in reinforcing its digital infrastructure. What remains to be seen is whether this new approach will mean a distancing from external studies with which he has worked for years. Give up developments like ‘Lego Star Wars‘ either ‘Indian Lego Jones‘, which have been key in their success in the video game industry, would be a risky play. Meanwhile, ‘LEGO Fortnite‘He has shown that the brand still has a huge pull, with 87 million players to his credit. The big question is: will this movement mark the beginning of a new era for LEGO video games, or will it simply be another piece in its global strategy? Time will say if the Danish company is willing to Build your own brick road to brick Or if, as until now, he continues to trust his external partners to shape his digital universe.

The director of ‘Rogue One’ signed one of the best science fiction films in recent years, and now comes to Prime Video

by

After spending less than a year for Disney+, ‘The Creator‘, the magnificent futuristic dystopia of Gareth Edwards, Reach Prime Video. The Amazon platform can provide a tremendous impulse to this film that, Despite the praise received with its premiere in 2023he punctured at the box office. This relegated to a secondary role both in the awards season, where its excellent technical invoice should have been recognized, as in the public reception. Edwards has a very peculiar vision of the genre, a very unique eye for drama and intimate, which has been reflected in his films even for successful franchises: ‘Godzilla’ and ‘Star Wars: Rogue One’, two productions found A similar balance between the show and the small -scale emotion. In that sense, where ‘The Creator’ finds more similar is in the director’s first movie, the excellent ‘monsters’. In ‘The Creator’, Edwards enters an iconic science fiction issue, artificial intelligences, classic since Asimov wrote their robots stories, but with a fiercely modern perspective: in a war between the human species and artificial intelligences, an exagent of the special forces is recruited to locate and execute the creator, a mysterious architect of the AI ​​that has developed a devastating weapon end to war and mean the victory of the machines. He must prevent it. The film is raised as an empathetic approach to the other, to the IAS that in this case are far from being like Skynet, no matter how much they face humans with virulent violence. The great mystery of ‘The Creator’ is precisely what are the last intentions of that creator, and everything is raised in a devastating war environment, with special effects that, despite its modesty (or precisely thanks to it) They work much better than that of so many Blockbusters. An essential event for lovers of the genre. Header | Disney In Xataka | ‘The Creator’ is the science fiction film of the year.

Skype had everything to master the video calls. Now Microsoft has just put a death date

by

It has been Xda Developers who advanced the news that Microsoft has just confirmed publicly: Skype is going to be closed forever. It will happen in May, when they put the final brush to a story that could be very different and that will now be an inherited inherited by Teams, the company’s right eye for communications. It seemed a long time since Skype’s end was imminent. It was released in 2003 and Bought by Microsoft in 2011 for 8,500 million dollarsfigure that then seemed astronomical. Skype was a before and after. He turned the calls and long -distance video calls into something accessible to anyone with the Internet. It became the metonymy of video calls (“Do we make a skype?”), Something that very few products achieve. But Skype’s story is rather that of a wasted opportunity. He had everything to become a dominant platform: He arrived very soon to the market. He had a great adoption. He had a recognizable brand worldwide. And I had behind Microsoft’s resources. However, bad decisions and a lack of constant innovation allowed rivals such as Facetime, Zoom, Google Meet, Discord or WhatsApp a toast. Seen in retrospect, Skype’s decline was not sudden, but gradual. In 2015 It was integrated in Windows 10but the experience was unnatural. For a long time, Microsoft maintained a strange duality between Skype and Skype for Business. The latter was replaced by Teams in 2019. Meanwhile, others advanced quickly. Zoom catapulted during the confinements of 2020 thanks to the juncture, but also thanks to simplify: he eliminated records of records and downloads. Facetime was completely integrated into the Apple ecosystem. And WhatsApp took advantage of its omnipresence and popularity to offer them as one more service. And meanwhile, Skype was stagnant in a cycle of redesign who never solved his main problems (Sometimes they magnified them): An inconsistent interface, performance problems and a confused user experience. Microsoft is not only killing Skype, it is redirecting its users towards Teamsincreasingly popular. Skype users can use their credentials to access Teams and there they will see their contacts and conversations. During the transition period, users of both platforms can communicate with each other. Then there will only be space for Teams. A bittersweet end. A closure that seems almost merciful. Skype lived in his own confusing identity. It remained as that application that we had installed “just in case” and that we do not remember the last time we used it despite the fact that at the time it played a fundamental role. Being able to see and talk to other people in other countries was revolutionary in the 2000s, Skype leaves A great cultural impact that is now transformed into archeology. As a final gift, a lesson leaves us: it does not matter if a platform is very established, it can become irrelevant if it does not evolve to the compass of the needs of its users. End of an era.

It is considered one of the best video game adaptations to the cinema ever made and has just arrived at Netflix

by

Almost twenty years have passed since its premiere, but it is undeniable that the overcrowding visual force of ‘Silent Hill‘, that He has just arrived in Netflixremains intact. In the last two decades, the special effects have evolved in very different directions, but the incredible makeup of this Christophe Gans movie and its clear and open intention to make a faithful and respectful version of Konami’s original video game has gained Many of his fans. And that, as they say, ‘Silent Hill’ is maladaptable: the unforgettable experience of the first video games exists because it lives in the first person, and that makes that The cryptic argument and the atmosphere built with fog and sirens sounding in the distance Be sufficient to raise panic. But Gans has the need to convert that sensory experience into a film with conventional argument, and that sometimes makes decisions that move away ‘Silent Hill’ from an absolutely literal adaptation. In spite of everything, it works at a wonders. In this adaptation, a woman lives desperate to find a cure for her daughter’s mysterious disease, and decides to locate Silent Hill, a town that the girl speaks constantly in dreams. But upon arrival, a mysterious figure causes an accident after which, his daughter disappears. Accompanied by a police officer, the two women begin to look for it, and will soon discover that the desert people after a devastating fire hides much more than it seems. ‘Silent Hill’ belongs to a time when cinema began to produce, finally, visually faithful adaptations to the video games that inspired them. Far away were the times of the hilarious ones (but far from the originals) ‘Super Mario Bros.’ or ‘Street Fighter’, and Hollywood began to pay attention to the digital medium with films such as this or the success ‘Tomb Raider’. We would still have to suffer horrendous productions such as the bulk of UWE Boll’s films, also of this era, but ‘Silent Hill’ stands out among the rest for understanding and adapting, even with its problems, Konami’s original game with a remarkable dignity.

And in ‘You never release‘, that now premiere prime videothe rule is clear from the first moment: do not stop grabbing your classmates, do not stay alone, or get on the way. However, this proposal starts from that point to go in a very dike direction A manido start, yes, but effective and reserves a good amount of surprises. Everything fits that in command of this party we have Alexandre Aja, the Frenchman who terrified us at the beginning of his career with the extraordinary remake of ‘Las Colinas has eyes’, and that he has then developed a career full of ups and downs, yes, but With pieces of pure horror as estimated as ‘high voltage’, ‘Piraña 3D’, ‘Hell underwater’ or ‘oxygen’. On this occasion, Aja presents us with two twin children who live sections in a cabin in the depth of the forest with his mother (Halle Berry), which tells them about a dangerous spirit that lives abroad. To survive they must always be together, even tied by strings. It is a measure that will begin to question according to children are growing and suspect that the world does not work as they have told them. Mental illnesses, traumas and overprotection are some of the ingredients of this tense story not exactly apocalyptic (although moods are very there).
