So Myst V is on Steam now

[CobraA1]

So - Myst V is on Steam now . . . and it's listed as "casual."

LOL. It's been a long time, but I never thought of Myst games as very casual at all. The puzzles are often tough and may require a pencil and paper to solve . . .

As somebody who has played all of the Myst games (and completed all except URU), it's good to see them on Steam.

Well, except RealMYST, I never played that one, but I completed the original Myst, so I never felt as if I had to play the truly 3D version of it.

Although it's kinda too bad this type of game isn't really made anymore. What they did was amazing, and I'd say I enjoyed the worlds of Myst more than any other fantasy worlds I've seen.

I wonder - if they make enough sales with the iOS versions of these games, do you suppose Cyan Worlds could make a new game, a new series?

Could you imagine what a new game created by Cyan would look like with today's technology?

It would propably be even worse than Myst V.

I don't think they would make a new Myst game, but with enough money from the iOS sales, a new game series could be possible. The iOS versions (Myst, Riven) and also the Windows 7 support for Myst V on Steam shows that Cyan Worlds is still active.

I played Myst in 1993, but I don't remember much. I bought yesterday Myst V, because it sounded/looked interesting from the store page. I am not far with Myst V, but I will finish it by this weekend. So far I like it and it remembers me of the old pc era, although Myst V is from 2005. I started playing in the 80s.

Hopefully Myst V gets enough sales on Steam. In the meantime I can play the other Myst and Uru titles on Steam.

Well, the games before Myst V looked pretty good, I thought.

I didn't really think that 3D technology had really gotten as good as their pre-rendered tech when Myst V was released, to be honest.

Today, however, I think we're getting close, although vegetation and fur may still be a bit problematic. Pre-rendered still outshines real time when it comes to really complex stuff.

Although you know what? I think it would still be worth a shot to try something akin to Myst IV again, but at a resolution suitable for today's HD monitors.

I don't think they would make a new Myst game, but with enough money from the iOS sales, a new game series could be possible.

I agree - Myst V was meant to be the end of Myst, and it will probably stay that way. However, I wouldn't be against the idea of a new series.
