I played the original Myst when it was released in the early 90s. I just now played Myst 2021. I must say that Riven was indeed better. I hope they remaster the others though.
One difference between this and the original clips is that right before linking into the trap book, Gehn picks up and preps his walking stick/dart gun before linking to Atrus and D'ni.
In the one ending where Gehn is not trapped when you signal Atrus, Gehn throws a book into the fissure, but why? He doesn't know one of the books is a trap. At the end of the 1st Myst game, you meet Atrus on D'ni at his writing desk in a circular room with several arched doors. The picture in the trap book shows this room (you can see it scanning the room showing the arched doors and Atrus' desk). Atrus made the book look like you will link to this room, but it actually just traps you inside the book. The book that Atrus uses at the end to leave with Catherine also shows this room where his writing desk is, but is the real one to go to D'ni. The trapping book has a black cover and the book Atrus uses has a brownish cover (allowing him to tell which is which?). Also Atrus puts the book with Gehn trapped in it in his satchel but doesn't take his hand off of it. When he pulls his hand back out, he has the other book in his hand.
@@Uberklocked When you opened the book after trapping Gehn, you did not see Gehn, but just a room. In the 1st Myst, you saw Sirrus, and Achenar trapped in their books. You should see Gehn in this book. How would Catherine and Atrus know you trapped Gehn in the book if they just saw the room in the picture?
Something you missed was the book in the fire pit. If you look closely, it's actually the Descriptive Book for the 234th Age, and the book on Gehn's desk is the 235th Age. That's how bad Gehn is at writing stable Ages.
Aye! Have you never played a Myst game before? They are all a blast. You can download the Riven demo from Steam if you want to check it out without committing any funds.
You know, I have given this some thought on multiple occasions. In my own testing I found that I prefer a wider field of view. This is probably due to the fact that I have a 28" monitor and sit very close to it (right at a foot way). I do see your point though. A lot of games may benefit from this due to the gameplay. Riven obviously does not contain the same combat related gameplay. I would like to pose this question: Would you be comfortable with lowering your field of vision to say 70 degrees instead of the default of 90? To me that would seem more like I was playing on a monitor with an aspect ratio of 4:3. I imagine you would not. I guess since I play pretty much everything on 120 degrees, I now prefer this field of view. Human vision's field of view is much higher than 120 even. Unreal Engine 5 does a good job of formatting the imagine in the FOV between 90 and 120 degrees.
You can see the tender love and care put into all of this. The Starry Expanse Project also had a hand in it, so it's fun to think that fans had a part in the action to reboot the Cyan we used to be excited for each release.
Not sure why you didn't turn the steam valve to the boiler before using the controls. You had to have turned it off and gone through the tunnel previously in order to have opened that hatch on the balconey. Turning the steam on first would have shown the viewers what each control does on the boiler in order to get the door to open.
Some of the videos I recorded, were indeed done after the fact. It was never my intention to divulge the solution to all of the puzzles. I apologize if this is a misunderstanding. I will attempt to clarify this in the descriptions. Good eye for sure.
@@Uberklocked Thanks. I wrote that comment before watching on. I then seen you had already drained the water and moved the mine cart to the other end where the lift to Gehn's lab is. I have played all the endings and got all the achievements on Steam Games. I played the game the 1st time in VR and the 2nd time on the PC monitor.
This game is available elsewhere. I tried to inform a Japanese player there is a site offering the DRM free version and everything I post gets erased !!
Gotta say there’s so many good nuances missing from the remake. You know it’s like the original Riven was more like photographs and short videos from a film, and this is the game version of the film…
I may replay the original just to catch the differences. Also keep in mind these videos aren't showing all or much of the puzzle work. These are more about exploring the islands to showcase the beauty. Not puzzle solutions so much.
@@Geraltofrivia12gdhdbruwj I think so, too. I played the original just a few weeks ago because I found it on Steam and I was delighted to see that there is a remake in progress. And I must say the remake is every bit what I had hoped for.
Your videos are done REALLY well. Most other 4K videos I play on YT - especially if they are 60 fps - will have problems OR have poor quality. Yours play well and the quality is top notch. I'd sure love to know your secret recipe.
I am going to say there is a couple of things but the biggest is probably the encode rate for 4K needs to 110Mb/s minimum. RU-vid probably changes how is transcodes videos for viewers when the resolution and encode rate is higher. This creates a smoother and cleaner image.
@@Uberklocked I find your explanation rather strange as my internet connection is 30Mb/s so I shouldn't be able to play your videos. I can only surmise YT will recompress the video when you use such a high bitrate.
I must apologize as I should have used a lowercase "b". Even though, 110Mbp/s is still higher than your internet throughput. RU-vid uses a proprietary compression and buffering system. They compress smaller, lower resolution videos differently and give them lower priority over their bandwidth. I found that if I upload videos higher than 1440p with a higher encode rate, my videos are automatically transcoded by them in their VP codec instead of the lower quality AVC codec. You can right click any RU-vid video and select "Stats for nerds" to see how they are transcoding the video. I hope this helps!
@@Uberklocked AFAIK AVC is a subset of the H.264 protocol and VP9 is almost the same as H.265. H.265 compresses a lot better for equivalent quality. When playing your videos in 4K (you don't offer HDR) the traffic on my Internet router is really 15 to 22 Mbps.
If you are watching this video on a lower resolution monitor then you aren't seeing it in 4K (3840x2160). So naturally it will look the same when you play it at the same lower resolution. If you have a Microcenter or other Computer Hardware store near by you can potentially see 4K in action. Then again, retail stores are notorious for using lower quality, low resolution inputs/source material.
