Great video. Thanks!! I got the original in 1998. The computer wasn’t quite good enough to keep up with some of the videos, but I still adored that game

@martindoherty377 19 дней назад

Your observation right at the end ... no toilet in Katherine's prison cell ... I remember thinking the same thing about Myst, when visiting the sons' rooms. Just beds and some furniture, no bathrooms, wardrobes, closets or food prep areas at all? Although they'd supposedly lived in these places for weeks or months at a time, it was clearly impossible, so they were really just suggestive rather than literal living spaces; building out all that other stuff would not have affected the gameplay (although, they could have been used to show more about the men's characters and activities).

I just assumed Sirrus and Achenar had a linking book to "Bathroom Island".

@logprb5048 18 дней назад

This is explained in lore, basically Cyan and the Miller brothers actually exist in the lore as present day historians researching the D'ni, and the games Myst and Riven canonically exist in-universe as games made by those fictional versions of the Millers. As such any of the locations or events you see in the games are merely artistic representations of the "real" places and events from history. So Myst not having a bathroom is fine because the "real" Myst island actually had one, it just wasn't put in the game because of artistic license or for simplicity by the "historians" (developers) who made the game.

There is a bucket in her prison. I don't think Ghen cares much for Katherins comfort.

@stew.c 20 дней назад

Wow, this looks nuts! I’ve only ever played the original Myst, think I need to get this one!!!

@shaynewhite1 16 дней назад

Intel-Mac users have a workaround - the game works in Windows using Boot Camp. One sort of "continuity-error" is that when Catherine escapes from Prison Island and you go back into the Starry Expanse afterward, the central platform is still aligned to Prison Island. There's no way that would be possible - most likely it would be aligned with Jungle Island.

Do you know why the bridge (6:05) can go be raised using the lever (5:28)? It starts off in the down position so I do not understand the purpose for this functionality.

@BranchusCreations 8 дней назад

I haven't found a functional reason other than giving the user a red herring.

@@BranchusCreations Strange. But thanks.

@theviewerofart 5 дней назад

Lore-wise, the part of Temple Island on the non-temple side of that bridge is off-limits except for Gehn's followers. Presumably it's supposed to suggest that the bridge is raised under normal circumstances to bar entry to Rivenese trespassers! I imagine the Moiety lowered the bridge and jammed whatever mechanism is responsible for raising it again, much like they did with the cage trap.

@IrdinSilverbow 15 дней назад

Does it work on a MacBook Pro M1 using the laptop’s trackpad or is a mouse required?

@BranchusCreations 14 дней назад

I haven't tried, but I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work with a trackpad.

@mistersurrealist 16 дней назад

The environments look absolutely amazing but boy those stiff and ugly 3D characters kinda ruin the immersion. Myst NEEDS real actors, that's one of the aspects of the original games that sold you on the idea of those worlds being real. I adore the originals and certainly appreciate the remakes, but I'd be happier if they went back into the studio and reshot those scenes with real actors and integrated that footage into the game. It IS possible, just lock the player in place whenever an actor is on screen.

@anti-ethniccleansing465 15 дней назад

And I agree with you 100%! Those new CGI characters are hideous! I can’t believe they took out the charm of real actors… That is just the worst decision they could’ve ever made in my opinion. Don’t they realize that one of the biggest selling points back in the day was people seeing real people in their video games?!

Pretty sure Brad Dourif is way more well known for playing the part of Charles Lee Ray/Chucky in the Child's play Movies and TV Show.

@@dizzer182 I figured most viewers would be too young to remember Child's Play. That movie's 36 years old.

There really needs to be a quicker way to access screenshots. You can take pictures with one button, but to look at the pictures you have to exit out of whatever you're doing, pull up the menu and select "notebook". You'll either be doing this a LOT or be writing stuff down by hand.

They should have just cast new actors for the 2024 version. The CGI characters are so disappointing compared to the rest of the care put into the game.
