Some time in the distant past, our ancestors moved to the treetops and decided that fruit was quite delicious. Before that, we weren't fussy. Afterwards, fruit was top of the menu. And so we evolved three-colour vision to distinguish unripe fruit from the very ripest. Or, that's one theory. In truth, we don't know for sure what caused our colour vision to change in the deep past. But for whatever reason, although most mammals see the world in two colours, most humans see the world in three. It's called trichromacy. Now, I know what you're thinking. There are more than three colours. Richard of York gained battle in vain for this. Well, hold your horses, because poor Richard did not gain battle in vain in vain. There are many, many colours, but, for most humans, these are all mixes of red, green, and blue. Trichromats have three colour receptors, called 'cones', at the back of their eyes, and all the colours of the rainbow are constructed from these three basic building blocks. …
It’s Nurgle vs Slaanesh in the latest Total War: Warhammer 3 gameplay video
Creative Assembly's latest gameplay video for upcoming strategy game Total War: Warhammer 3 showcases two of my favourite factions in the fantasy universe: Nurgle and Slaanesh. The video, below, contains gameplay of a fight between armies of the two competing Chaos gods, complete with throaty narration. "The Plaguefather's obsession with breeding new infections has led him to the realm of Chaos and he's met by Slaanesh forces," reads the official blurb. "Yet, the notorious Keeper of Secrets is not leading the charge. What schemes could N'Kari be plotting?" I've already covered Creative Assembly's wonderful cinematic trailer showcasing the disease-fuelled joviality of Total War: Warhammer 3's take on Nurgle , but it's cool to see how they operate on the battlefield, the various combat animations the developers have created for a scrap, and the many abilities available to them. For example, I love how nurglings sort of roll across the battlefield, swarming forth before …

Battlefield 2042 May Have Even More Fixes On The Way
While Battlefield 2042 returns the franchise to its Battlefield 3 heyday with a modern setting and modern weapons, the game has also fallen victim to a number of bugs and technical issues. Thankfully, players won't have to deal with at least a few of those problems for much longer, as DICE is reportedly looking into them. A post from the fan-run Twitter account Battlefield Bulletin claims that DICE is currently tackling four issues that Battlefield 2042 players have reported. Those issues range from players rubber banding when they get hit by rockets from a jet or helicopter and missile relock not working to options for changing the transparency and size of various icons. NOTICE: More things EA DICE is looking into #BF2042 @DRUNKKZ3 pic.twitter.com/RSrgNtTSTW — Battlefield Bulletin (@BFBulletin) November 21, 2021 However, the post doesn't detail when players can expect these issues to be fixed.

Halo Infinite — Xbox Boss Discusses High-Level Staff Departures
Xbox Game Studios boss Matt Booty has commented on the many changes to senior leaders on Halo Infinite's development team, saying turnover is natural in a field like game development. He also suggested that some of the developers who left the team might have had a vision for Halo Infinite that ran counter to what others wanted. Speaking to The New York Times , Booty discussed the departures of creative director Tim Longo and executive producer Mary Olson, as well as former studio head for FPS, Chris Lee. "There's always going to be turnover of leaders--it's inevitable," Booty said. He added that sometimes "the momentum of the project is going one way, and that person has a vision that's going the other way." Booty's comment is intriguing to think about, but it doesn't include any specifics about a different direction for Halo Infinite that might have been considered during development. GameSpot has followed up with Microsoft in an attempt to get more details. Microsoft …
Blade Runner TV Show Is In Development, Ridley Scott Confirms
Director Ridley Scott has announced that a Blade Runner TV series is in development. The filmmaker has revealed that a pilot has been written for the show based on the classic sci-fi movie. In an interview with the BBC , Scott suggested that the potential Blade Runner show would be a 10-episode series. "We [have] written the pilot for Blade Runner and the bible," he said. "So, we're already presenting Blade Runner as a TV show, the first 10 hours." No further details about the series have been revealed so far. Scott directed the original 1982 Blade Runner and produced Denis Villeneuve's 2017 sequel, Blade Runner 2047. The anime series Blade Runner: Black Lotus was released earlier this month by Adult Swim and Crunchyroll. Scott also mentioned the upcoming Alien TV show in the same interview. He stated that the pilot for that had also been written, as well as treatment for 8-10 hours of episodes. The Alien series was announced by Disney in December last year. Noah Hawley …
