RT Syd Mead - OfficialTwo of Syd Mead’s original paintings for Blade Runner—Spinner and Street Scene—are currently on view at the @AcademyMuseum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles as part of the exhibition "Cyberpunk: Envisioning Possible Futures Through Cinema."When @RidleyScottCG first approached Syd to work on Blade Runner, he asked him to design just one element: Deckard’s car. But Syd couldn’t design a vehicle in a vacuum. He needed to understand the city it moved through—the architecture, the signage, the clothing, the atmosphere. So instead of a single rendering, he delivered fully imagined street scenes.Impressed by the depth and vision of his work, Ridley brought Syd on to conceptualize the entire film. It was during this project that Syd was given the now-iconic title: Visual Futurist.

These findings reveal how planets differ from our existing solar system. The discovery was first published in the Journal Science on April 25, 2025. Scientists fetched this data from the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet), also known as the largest microlensing survey to date.This Super Earth, called a planet due to its size being bigger than Earth but smaller than Neptune, is more significant as it is a large study where the masses of many planets have been measured relative to the stars that they orbit. As per physics.org, the team of researchers found fresh information about the number of planets that surround the Milky Way.Study by KMTNetAccording to the study conducted using Korean Microlensing data in which light from faraway objects is amplified through the use of an interfering body, called a planet. This technique is very effective for finding planets at a far distance, between Earth and Saturn's orbit.This study is considered to be large for its kind because there are about three times more planets, including planets that are eight times smaller than the previous planets found with the help of microlensing. Shude Mao, a professor, said that the current data gives a hint of how cold planets are formed. With the help of KMTNet data, we can know how these planets were formed and evolved. KMTNet has three telescopes in South Africa, Chile and Australia.Understanding the ExoplanetsSuch studies show that the other systems can have a small, medium and large variety of planets in Earth's orbit. CFA-led research suggests that there can be more Super Earth Planets in other solar systems' outer regions. Jennifer Yee says that there is a possibility that outside the Earth's trajectory, other galaxies may have more such planets that are bigger than Earth's size yet smaller than Neptune.Findings and ImplicationsYoun Kii Jung, who operates KMTNet, says that in Jupiter-like orbits, the other planetary systems may not be similar to ours. Scientists will try to determine how many such planets exist. A study indicates that there are at least as many super-Earths as there are Neptune-sized planets in the universe.

News La Quimera Delayed Due to “Unforeseen Challenges” The first-person shooter was to launch on April 25th for PC. Developer Reburn hopes to share an updated release date "soon." Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 26th, Apr. 2025 La Quimera, Reburn’s new futuristic first-person shooter, has been delayed. Scheduled for release on April 25th for PC, it’s been pushed back due to “unforeseen circumstances.” CEO Dmytro Lymar apologized on the game’s Discord, stating that the team has been “working hard” on the title. “We are trying our best to address the matters as quickly as possible while also navigating the circumstances we’re faced with here in the Ukraine.” In an update, the developer noted that it’s “still working” with Steam on technical issues. It hopes to share an updated release date “soon,” though there’s no ETA. The exact nature of the issues is unknown. However, initial reviews for the title were negative, with WCCF Tech criticizing the story and various bugs that plague the experience. XboxEra was similarly scathing, noting 125 minutes of total playtime (a stark contrast to the previously touted five hours) across three missions with “on-the-nose writing” and “zero likeable characters.” Both publications scored it a four out of ten. Stay tuned for updates on La Quimera and its release date in the coming days. In the meantime, check out our feature for everything you should know.

The game has profound CPU problems that make a smooth experience on PC seemingly impossible - even on the most powerful hardware.

Depending who you ask, arcades have been dead or dying or on their last legs for… almost 40 years now. The reality is more complex, with new business models, barcades, bigger complexes like Dave & Busters, and VR/immersive/experimental options taking their place. But the classic arcade, where you could drop a couple quarters to play the latest game from one of the industry’s best studios, has certainly seen better days. And while a number of local arcades in Japan have held on longer than most, their numbers have been dwindling in recent years as well.To capture those spots before it’s too late, photographer Víctor Alonso spent a month in 2023 traveling across Japan and visiting dozens of classic arcades for a photography book called The Last Game Centers. Thus far, the book hasn’t received an English-language release (the original release includes Spanish and Japanese text), though starting this weekend and running through May 5, Alonso is exhibiting photos from the book in Los Angeles at the && Gallery.Photo: Víctor AlonsoAs part of an effort to spotlight game-related books and documentaries, Polygon is running an email interview series with the people behind them. Check out the full list to read up on Sky and Immortality art books, a Street Fighter 2 documentary, and others. Below, Alonso discusses The Last Game Centers, his experience traveling in Japan, and plans for an English version of the book.Polygon: I love the book’s concept. How did you decide which game centers to feature? Did you have certain criteria you were looking for?Víctor Alonso: Thank you! The selection process was very organic. I’ve been travelling to Japan since 2015 mainly for photography purposes but this time was different. In 2023, as soon as the country opened after COVID, I traveled for a whole month across Japan, mainly Tokyo and Osaka with a clear mission: to document as many game centers as I could. I was looking mainly for spaces that retained their identity despite the passing years, places that felt 100% authentic. I wasn’t necessarily looking for the biggest or most famous arcades, but rather the ones with soul that were still open... The ones where the locals still gather to play daily and hold Super Street Fighter II X tournaments, etc. If a game center had that “end of an era” vibe, it would go straight onto my list because I [knew] it would close “soon”. In the end, I documented more than 30 game centers but the book only features 25. Sadly, two years later, 1/4 of them are already closed or have disappeared. This is a sad story and we’re thinking about how to approach this for the 2nd edition of the book, since it may change dramatically.Do you have a favorite photo from the book you can share with us?It’s hard to choose just one, but there’s a shot I took in Game in Rido that always gets me. The place was half-abandoned, just a handful of old machines, but still running. The photo captures a salaryman that just came out of the venue. This is a powerful image that combines my classic street photography with this 80s showa era vibe that I was looking for. Vintage bulb lights glowing in the background, an amazing old school billboard... and silence. It feels like the last heartbeat of a forgotten kingdom.Photo: Víctor AlonsoDid you run into any problems with arcade owners not wanting their arcades to be included in the book?Surprisingly, no. Everyone I met was incredibly open, even touched that someone had traveled so far just to document their space. Many owners actually shared personal stories. I think they saw this project as a kind of tribute — a way of preserving a part of their lives that’s slowly disappearing. There was a lot of trust, and I tried to be very respectful and honor this culture in how I told each story. I also had lots of good stories in the opening of the exhibition at Meteor gallery. Many people from the industry came to take a look at the book and introduce themselves, some of them showed me old flyers, or even photos from the 90s, opening days, etc. This was very touching for me.I was sorry to see the book’s “Black Label” version not hit its Kickstarter campaign goal. Are you looking into other ways of publishing the Black Label edition, or any sort of English edition?Yeah... The Black Label edition was a dream version: bigger format, more photos, some behind-the-scenes notes. We didn’t reach the funding goal, but the love and support we received told me it’s still worth pursuing. We’re exploring alternative ways to make it happen for the 2nd edition of the book since the original one is almost sold out! And yes, I definitely want to do an English edition with my editor Héroes de Papel. I get messages almost weekly from people around the world asking for it, and I want to bring this story to everyone who ever dropped a coin into a cabinet and felt something spark.See More:
