Netflix wants to expand to China, but obstacles remain

netflix_4k

Netflix wants to go big. Real big. The service is already available in almost 50 markets around the world, but rumor has it the streaming video firm has its eyes set on the world’s most populous market: China.

In its most recent quarterly earnings report, published in April, Netflix revealed that it now has more than 62 million subscribers around the world, up 2.28 million customers. That figure stands to increase drastically if it can tap into China and, according to The Wall Street Journal, that’s the plan. But it won’t be easy.

Local broadcasters told The Wall Street Journal that content censorship is one major barrier that will need to be crossed. Wasu Media Holding and BesTV were two possible partners named by the news outlet. “We are still taking time to know each other better because America’s content industry is very different from China’s,” an executive with Wasu explained.

There aren’t any immediate plans to push Netflix live in China just yet, but it would create millions and millions of new subscribers if Netflix can work out a deal.

Gears of War remaster screenshots from footage leak

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo The only thing Black Tusk and Microsoft have left to do on the Gears of War remaster is actually announce it. We’ve seen it hinted at, denied, and rated.Now we have some footage accidentally leaked onto the Xbox DVR site, likely by a developer who forgot to disable the automatic upload.This isn’t gameplay footage per se – the enemy is standing still in the clips while the player attacks them. It’s likely test footage for some of the gore physics or something like that. But it’s definitely footage taken in-game.The two images above were pulled from a NeoGAF thread on the leak comparing the screenshot of the new clips to one from the original Gears. Microsoft is likely scrambling to take the footage down, but currently the thread, linked to in the source for this story, has links to the videos.If you decide to click through and watch the clips, it’s important to note that they were filmed using the Xbox Game DVR and were filmed three months ago, before t…

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt launch trailer take 2 – Go Your Own Way

You can call it another lonely day. Haven’t we been here once before? CD Projekt RED believes that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is far too amazing for just one launch trailer, so it has decided to create yet another just to drive home the fact that you need to play this game.The new “Go Your Way” launch trailer features more in-engine graphics instead of impressive pre-rendered CG, and its focus this time around is not our big, bad hero Geralt but rather the Princess Ciri. Don’t be fooled by her puppy dog eyes and adorable freckles. This girl will kill you in a flash! The trailer tells her tale of how she wandered from home, and tells of how Geralt sets out to find her.The relationship between these two is not the only star of the trailer either. Geralt’s fantasy world is full of real life horrors that extend beyond mere monsters. Slaughter, torture, executions, dangerous seductions. The trailer bares all that you will find in this horrible yet beautiful place, giving you a taste of the s…

State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition gets a debut trailer

State of Decay was a surprise for just about everyone when it hit Xbox 360 last year. Despite some issues with visual jankiness, Undead Labs’ particular take on zombie survival proved memorable for fans and critics, and the game quickly became one of the fastest selling games to hit Xbox Live.
Now the remaster, State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition, is just over a month away from release on digital and physical shelves. The game will run in 1080p and features significantly upscaled, genitalia-free visuals. It also combines the three pieces of the game – the initial release and the Breakdown and Lifeline expansions and brings a variety of updates and new gear as well.
The game will be $29.99 unless you already own a copy of the original, in which case you’re eligible for a 33 percent discount to pick up the new one.
State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition hits PC and Xbox One on April 28.
