Myst Reminiscences--Making Of (Part 3)

This is the third part of the making of the Myst video game series. These videos were released as a preview of the upcoming release of Myst 5, the final of the series. This third part focuses on the making of the stunning fourth game, Revelation, and the first part of the concluding game, End of Ages. I hope you enjoy it!

Switching to realtime 3d was the most epic mistake made in the history of Myst.

The technology was and is not ready for it. Even the best computer-generated avatar with an actor-animated face is not equal to the filmed sprites of the first Myst game - let alone the actor sequences in Riven, Exile and Revelation.

Mirror's Edge looks like the technology is approaching the required level, but I think it will take another 5-10 years before CGI catches up. I'll expect a remake then, Cyan! :P

Does anyone else get strangely depressed after they do the conclusion to each game?

MYST Completely outclassed, and outsold every game up until and after that point for years

RIVEN was the most successful game of the year selling 2.2 million copies!

Myst III garnered critical respect and quickly topped PC charts

Myst IV good reviews and proved it was a worthy sequel

Myst V well obviously the video was made before it came out but my idea is... Myst V - kind of a disappointment.

What about Uru?!

[aserta]

myst V was a bet on 3d technology, personally i think i'd erase the records knowing they would make a live action myst V.

I think Myst 5 was a big disappointment... It looked like they went backwards after Revelation in every way: story, graphics, gameplay... The only Age I enjoyed in End of Ages was the observatory age. That was a cool one.

@Arancaytar I was thinking that.

I mean, it doesn't have the same potential as playing recordings, does it?

[jdzero]

I bet you were excited Mary.. I bet you were....

Did anyone notice the Kodama @ 5:23?

[fyglymyg]

b/c uru is uru: ages beyond myst so it ain't myst ;d

[FrostyTheSnowball]

I love Riven and Uru: Path of the Shell. How come Uru isn't counted in the series?

[AniCator]

I liked Myst V. But it shouldn't have been the last chapter. They should at least have put in a cliffhanger. Releeshan isn't the end. It can't be. Nothing is perfect. Especially when just one guy named Atrus wrote it. I wonder how his grammar was. :P Woops spelling mistake. Releeshan has a bug. :P

Myst 4 graphics at least made it worth it....wait....my first myst game was 4 and got me into the Myst franchise and totally worths it anyway from all points of view (gameplay, music, graphics).
