Myst is back... in VR form!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJs2GcbzgP4

some of the music at the end is from Riven, so maybe we're finally getting the Riven remake that everyone deserves? maybe it's finally time to make Myst 6, or hell, Uru 2. if you've never played this 90s classic and all five of its sequels, there's no better time. i just hope you're...... into books.

i do not work for Cyan's advertising team, i just really love Myst, Riven, Exile, Uru, Revelation and uh... tolerate End of Ages, as well as the terrible myst books, and the group of germans who still do a synchronized dance in the dwindling Uru Online community.

will buy if it comes out on PSVR and I can close the book while Sirrus is talking

closing the book while Sirrus or Achenar talk has always been a feature.

when obduction came out their advertisement for it amounted to posting one tweet a week after, so I'm pretty sure no one actually works for their advertising team.

yeah they're a small shop these days and they seem to just eschew advertising entirely. Myst is like the absolute first game that should have gone to VR, but Cyan didn't know how to do it until they hit their Obduction stretch goals, lol.

i couldn't find the video in the OP by looking at their website or searching Youtube for Cyan, i had to get it from my friend who beta tested Uru.

looks like it's not an oculus exclusive phew, steam page

I think it will go to console VR later too, Obduction did.

I don't have any VR because I'm stereoblind and I haven't been able to test it to see if it works for me, but I'd be tempted for Myst

I hope this means that Rand Miller will give a college intern a copy of blender and tell him to make five levels while filming himself rambling in a bathrobe and release it as myst 6.

lol

I hope Richard watson stuffs him back in his tattered ren faire outfit and forces him to limp around saying nonsense in a husky voice while some academy award winning actor chews the scenery in the next room, yelling "Do you know what your daughter did, Atrus? Are you done having children yet, you useless hippy?"

Bro I loved Myst so much but holy poo poo the games after Riven were hot garbage. I mean MYST isnt that great in hindsight, but like the ATMOSPHERE and goddamn music and tone were just so goddamn good I ignored everything I didn't like about it and it was a glorious feeling of awe that I chase and never could achieve.

*watching academy award winner, brad dourif, yell into a tiny camera and jump up and down like rumpelstiltskin hissing "your ssssonsss ay-trusss*, all while assembling a track for a huge marble, with full 360 degree movement* bro, this is hot garbage, dude. *while listening to an original song by peter gabriel* fuckin sucks, brohammer.

Uru owns even if some of the puzzles are absolutely bizarre. one required you to read like 10 diaries of d'ni kings so you could figure out their unit of time measurement and then stand in a specific place for like 45 minutes. that one probably should have gotten the axe. the online stuff is funny because a very small community got super into it and basically used it like meetup dot com

The best puzzle is one where a bridge is stuck, so instead of doing the Classic Myst Thing of finding a way around and unjamming it from the other side you do a running jump to kick it down.

lol, that and the one where you have to roll a bunch of logs

i got obduction and it was ok but pretty underwhelming and had pretty obvious filler and unfinished parts. and it was funny how in interviews rand miller failed to hide his obvious rage at being extremely upstaged by the witness

i'm pretty sure rand miller just wants to make his tiny studio crowd-funded adventure games successful enough that rich isn't going to stuff him in the atrus costume again tbh

bump bc what the hell is going on at cyan?

https://cyan.com/introducing-myst-sayber/

quote:

Myst Sayber is a virtual reality rhythm game developed and published exclusively by Cyan. The game takes place in a polygonal neon environment and features the player slicing red and blue pages being thrown at them representing musical beats with a pair of contrasting colored pen “saybers.” We want to emphasize: this is a completely original idea. No other studio has ever created a red and blue colored beat slashing game before!

bumping this ancient thread because the VR remake is coming out. can you rent VR stuff? experiencing Myst in VR feels too good to pass up but I'm not ready to buy one.
