![]() The original FMV is on the Left and the new CG FMV is on the right.įor VR I personally prefer the new CG FMV that the remake shipped with because the video has 3D depth to it, whereas the original FMV is more sunken into the book. Mainly things like the red and blue books in the library on Myst Island. For example, on September 3rd, 2021, in response to fan feedback Cyan released a patch for the game that added the ability to use the FMV from the original Myst for certain parts of the game. Now, I know I’m late to writing this post, but being late has its perks. They even gave the water a rainbowy sheen to it, showing that oil has somehow been mixed into the water. As you can see here they greatly expanded this area visually, widening the ground and adding some extra gears to the ground. In the original you could just click the paintings to activate them, but in the remake because it was designed for VR, they added handles that you pull to activate them.Īnd for a bit of variety, here’s a screenshot of the Mechanical Age. And honestly, I wish there was a way to port the original myst island model into a game engine so that version could also be freely explored.Īs you can see in this image, they changed the controls for the clock hands in the remake, allowing you to be able to see the hands on the clock as you move them, and while you may not be able to see it in this screenshot, the water on the remake is animated and looks really nice.Īs you can see here, the Library is mostly the same, except for the handles that were added to the paintings. But given the time it came out, it makes sense, and I still think the original has a charm with its pre-rendered visuals. On the left is the original, and on the right is the new remake.Īnd obviously, there is a huge leap in fidelity in the remake that the original doesn’t have. It’s the same as the original except that the graphics are in 24-bit color instead of 256 colors. But since I’m sure most people reading this don’t have a VR headset, I’m going to focus on how it compares visually to the original game.Īctually that’s a bit of a half truth, to represent the original I will be using the 1999 re-release of Myst called Myst: Masterpiece Edition. One notable example is that all items that you would find on the ground were moved higher up, so that people playing while standing don’t need to bend down to pick stuff up, and people who are playing while sitting down aren’t locked out of grabbing things off the ground. This new remake was built from the ground up in Unreal Engine 4 with VR in mind and has made several changes to accommodate a few of the necessary things needed to make VR gaming more comfortable. ![]() So why am I writing about it now? Because on August 26th, 2021, the game was released on PC with optional VR support through Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG.com, and Xbox Game Pass for PC (sadly no VR on that version), and on Xbox with support for ray tracing on the series X. Cyan hasn’t announced a release date just yet, but we imagine the studio will share that information before too long.On December 10th, 2020, Cyan released a new remake of the classic 1993 adventure game Myst exclusively for the Oculus Quest platform. If you want to play through the entire experience, you’ll need to pay for the full $15 version. ![]() The new version will be free to download, allowing you to explore the game’s first location. In addition to greatly enhanced visuals, the remake features updated audio assets and an optional puzzle randomization feature that can help make the title feel fresh for Myst veterans. That said, the 2021 rerelease represents a significant upgrade over what was available previously on phones and tablets. In fact, you can buy the Legacy edition right now for $5. ![]() DcLux4KqWu- Kris Wingfield-Bennett ♻️ February 2, 2023Īs The Verge notes, this won’t be Myst’s first appearance on mobile devices.
