@WarmasterJoshmaul 3 месяца назад

@@joshallen128 I think they said outright in this very video that they at least have the audio, but a Game Informer interview at the beginning of the month indicated that they were combining the original performance, the way he spoke particularly, with the more full-body motion of the mo-cap. That was my main concern about this, given the whole brouhaha from the models in the remade Myst - when I heard that Riven was getting remade as well, my first thought was "I hope they do the character models justice, especially for Gehn; John Keston deserves that much." The picture from that interview is somewhat reassuring.

@sir_christmas_leopold_duckson 3 месяца назад

I'm really happy to see Riven being re-done. When we bought our first family PC in 1995, it came bundled with a copy of Myst and I fell in love with it. I can still remember the devastation when dad bought us Riven for Christmas in '97 and we realized the hard way that our hard drive was too small to install it. We had to sit on it for a while till dad upgraded us to a new computer. 😅

@nicolebaker7534 3 месяца назад

@zigorously 3 месяца назад

This is really exciting, and I'm so glad they're matching/updating the original performances AND adding new stuff! I'm guessing right now that for our two new actors here, we'll see flashbacks to a younger Atrus and Katran during the end of The Book of Atrus. Could be wayyy off, but it'd be cool!

@Adreitz7 3 месяца назад

That would be great! But I think it's more likely that they play Moiety members. Hard to convincingly do a flashback with a first-person game (that doesn't include mental/temporal gymnastics in its worldbuilding). I still want to see Riven's living tree and Katran's torus world as described in the book.

The game you made is time classic and before it's time realized. This game was always meant to be VR. Thank You for this treasure.

@Goland454 3 месяца назад

What made Riven so unique was not only the gorgeous world that immediately captivates you but Atrus talking to you & interacting with live actors throughout the game and It just makes it that much more immersive. A silly as Night trap is and as fun as Double Switch is, the full motion video is what really makes it special

I am still skeptical of the use of 3d models instead of real video for the characters. Myst and Riven were so realistic and convincing because of the real people. Hope it will prove me wrong.

@XXLoderunnerXX 3 месяца назад

Also skeptical based on the model quality of characters in the Myst remake. The option for fmv as an AI up sample from the original videos would be nice. However, if the model quality can be pulled off this time, with good facial capture, I'll be happy to admit I'm wrong.

Also, for those of you who have access to a headset, I highly recommend checking out the 7th Guest VR remake, if only for the incredible job they did with full-performance motion capture using volumetric video. VR + motion capture makes me really excited (and a little hopeful) for the future of 1st person adventure games.

As a adventure game, specifically as a puzzle-heavy adventure game, I don't think 7th Guest holds a candle compared to anything in Cyan's catalogue, but the remake's 3D character work floored me the first time I say it. Here's hoping that, one day, someone does something along those lines with The Last Express.

So does this mean this game will be the first time moving, CGI characters are in a Cyan game? I played through Obduction recently, and the only 3D modeled characters were dead aliens on the ground. Everyone else was footage. It will be interesting to see this game explore these things. Edit: I just remembered there were moving beetles in Obduction. So apart from that, I mean. Edit 2: Ok, people can stop telling me I'm wrong. I only actually got to play the original Myst through a port on Nintendo DS, and I haven't played anything else Cyan besides the aforementioned Obduction. I assumed they mostly remained the same between the 2 titles I played. I have seen brief things from each game, and it's been years since that, so I may have forgotten something. Hopefully I'll get a capable computer one day.
