Original is better looking. That's sad.

Stylistically the fire bursting across the page to open the linking book portal can’t be beaten 🔥

The original is still the best in my opinion. For me, a lot of the atmosphere and magic is lost in the remakes. And I prefer the live actors. I wish they would have done the remak in the same way as the original, with still renders. It's still nice they remade it all the same.

HOW SWAY?! 🤣 As soon as the game started we went FLYIN’ through like crazy! I woulda have gotten hung up at the underwater tram and of course the fire marble puzzle. It’s interesting to think about how you never had to touch Survey Island at all if you already knew where the marbles go, all the color symbols, and what the Whark and Fish symbols are all about. 🤔 AMAZING!🙌🏾🔥🔥

Sorry to say that I agree that the 3d humans are a step backward. A lot of the nuance of the human performance is just not there in the animated CG human. (0:49) It's super noticeable in the first two humans of the game (from the demo). Also, due to the lighting engine having to be a little more flat to cater for more viewpoints from the player... some of the dramatic stills with high contrast and deep shadows kinda get washed out, which takes away from some of the magnificent set pieces. (0:38) But then even outside, it looks like the colour palette and contrast has been subdued a bit (0:29). And there are art direction changes too. One of the coolest "rides" was underwater (0:51)... Rings of energy that kept the crystal blue water away from the track... so cool...and now this is so dark so you cannot see you're underwater anymore. At 0:57, the islands above are clearly "better" as they fit more into the world, they're the islands in water and the control panel is a representation of their "natural" formation... in the remastered game, the "islands" look more like tetris puzzle pieces, breaking the connection to why they are placed in water (unless they're all alcatrazzes). It was fun to see and make these connections in the old game... leaps of deduction by paying close attention to the details. I hope this isn't an indication of how they've dumbed the puzzles down. I love all things Cyan. Played them all multiple times. Myst has the distinguished honour of being my first Apple Macintosh game in 1994. That was also my first mac. Criticisms aside, I will definitely buy the title as I wish nothing but love and success to the folks of Cyan who've gifted me some of my most memorable gaming moments and hope they've got more Myst-like games coming soon.

The world and environment look amazing in this remake! But I wish so much that they could have found a way to retain the FMV performances of the actors. So much is lost by switching to these 3D models. I have a group of friends who have never played the original and I was going to suggest for them to wait for the remake and play that. But now that I’ve seen what the new animated characters look like, I am going to have to suggest they just play the original instead. I will still take a look at this remake myself just to enjoy being able to explore Riven in full 3D. The environment artists really have done a phenomenal job.

The remake is AMAZING, I am playing the demo on a Steamdeck, but the original is still unbelievable…

Cyan did an amzing job with this one. Captures the original atmosphere and vibe perfectly, while changing many details and riddles, so it's woth re-playing for Riven veterans too. And VR as well! The Myst remake was by far not on that level, I'm so happy they took their time and effort to make Riven right.

PS5?

Sometimes it is better, sometimes not, now it will all move a bit, the old version had the advantage that the image was still. Replacing humans with bad computer models is not a good idea. It is clearly a regression instead of a progress.

wtf is with the sounds?

Looks like it has lost the hot, bright Mediterranean summer vacation look of the original, and the FMV scenes are replaced with badly modelled 3D, like the Myst remake. Cyan has never been good at character modelling. Original Riven was - and after looking at this version still is - my favourite game of all time.

0:51 Funniest part

Looks a lot better than the Myst remake which changed way too much

Thanks for this! Genuinely wanted to remind myself of the differences which got me even more hyped!

So its a remake of an existing game?, ok

Thanks for doing this man but there's a lot of mis-matched footage which aren't side by side comparisons here...

Amazing how true it looks to the original

Ich glaube, er spielt das Spiel nicht zum ersten mal

Speedrunning is the most stupidest thing. Cant even enjoy the game just do everything as fast as possible just to be the number one🤢🤮

GG Dude, wieder improved

Geil Mann endlich bist auch auf dem Leaderboard und gleich mit ner richtig fetten Zeit Machst noch weiter oder kommt jetzt erstmal El Chapters?

Und gute Idee mit dem Sprung bei 3:03!

Warum verwandelst du dich bei 6:54 statt bei 7:20 zurück?

GG! Krasser erster eingereichter Run :D

You can free Cathrine by just opening the cage?

Schade was beim letzten Priester passiert ist, trotzdem verbesserst du dich sehr schnell, GG.

Do you need to ıse the "ả" tone mark? (caısua jí toalaqteı "ả"?)(?)

"Thank god you've returned......and they've disappeared. Great."

This completely destroys all the magic of this absolute masterpiece, but what an incredible feat it is!

This was exactly NOT the point of this beautiful game 😭😭

GG nice PB und WR. Schade wegen Dämon Restart und Irdorath durchverwandlung fail hätte sub 19:40 sein können, trotzdem stark zeit reingeholt in khorinis und ende

GG für den Run, der Run sieht echt cool aus aber auch gleichzeitig komplex XD Am Ende mit Torlof war unlucky da haste viel zeit verloren

cool!

Atrus 2 minutes after you vanish: "wow that was quick"

wow

👌

🙉

lol that wolf going in reverse.

Awesome, gg! But I still don't know what determines whether you can talk with a dragon after using rain. It never worked for me during a run, only on some saves. Did you have to make many attempts at this?

Wow, Verdammt Geiler Run, ich seh da sind ein paar vermischte strats noch von meinen versuche drin, aber die strats sind echt nice :D Die Hovers allgemein wie bei Milgar sind sehen sehr save aus und nice. Am ende und der katapult zum schiff leider sehr unlucky gewesen. Wieviel versuche sind an den Steindrachen geripped? Und wieviel Stunden haste da investiert in den run?

Starker Run, GG Mann! Wirklich

Es un juego para disfrutar. Si haces tiempo record, precocito , te pierdes lo bueno😊

How?! I played this back in the late 90's (I'm 33 now) and I found it extremely difficult, I never even got one Ixupi into its corresponding vessel. The music and atmosphere are great, I'd love to see a remake of this game.

this game was so scary to me as a kid

I just finished watching the first play playthrough (not a speedrun) of someone here on youtube, and his code was: 1, 2, 10, 11, 16 That'd be a nice code for a speedrun, he only had to move 3 of the 5 thingies, and even then the 3rd one is just a quick bump against the "11"

This is one of my favourite retro games of all time. It's great to see people speed running it, amazing run!

mi jo tomo tawa

Been enjoying your old lojban videos
