We knew Amazon was producing original content in 4K but not when we’d actually be able to lay our eyes on it. It was Samsung, not Amazon, that made the announcement, alongside news that users will also be able to access 4K streaming services from the likes of Netflix. ➤ Samsung press release [via Engadget] Thumbnail image credit: Getty Images

For content producers, the myriad of different languages can be a headache, as it’s costly to reproduce words – spoken or written – for a multitude of markets. There are free or affordable tools available to circumvent the language barrier – Google has produced subtitling tools, for example, while third-party alternatives are available too.

Rapture. Big Daddies. Splicers. When 2K Games released BioShock in 2007, it captivated players with its decaying world, spine-tingling atmosphere and strong storytelling. Now, the game is available on iOS. As Polygon reports, the graphical fidelity has been lowered to accommodate various iPhone and iPad models.
