I call bullshit.
Why? Well, let's read GameSpot's PC Myst review:
Now, let's look at this Amazon-based site selling Myst for a Myst feature list
And finally, where does the feature list come from? It rhymes with pong.

The press release is from Midway FYI.

It's on Gamespress, as has been said.

Can't help if you don't have access, mind. There's a gorgeous 11 meg image of the island there.

So, wait, Midway cribbed their ****ing press release from a bunch of websites? That's even more embarassing than some random making it up and posting it on GAF.

If this is real, I finally will be able to find out what the fuss is all about.
using modern compression techniques, there is really no reason most of the game shouldn't fit just fine on a DS chip. that being said, if I'm never going to replay it on my PC from the 10th anniversary collection, I'm certainly not going to buy this.
Though for the three of you out there who have never played this game... Outstanding sci-fi adventure game. Actually the entire series up to 5 was amazing. 5 was simply ok.

You think GameSpot cribbled an entire review from a Midway press package?
The other two I can easily see being stock text, although it's exceptionally poor to repeat the exact same things verboten in the same order and not even edit for clarity (IE references to CD-ROM, etc)

Cool, maybe I'll try it this time around. I never played it. As long as the graphics aren't horrible.
I wonder whether this is bullshit.
I don't understand why they don't republish Myst and Riven on the Wii.
I'd totally play those with the wiimote as a pointer, it seems like an ideal sit back and play game, one that people can help out with when watching. I've never played those games, but I know that I'd buy them on Wii.

The "graphics" are going to be amazing because it doesn't really have graphics perse. Myst is a slideshow of prerendered scenes (granted, a whole ****ton of them) around which you can navigate. There were certain things in the environment which you can "interact" with, but it just triggers a movie that moves what needs to be moved within the scene. Should be perfect for the DS.
This was amazing back in the day because the CG was amazing and there were enough frames that you could navigate around to make you feel like you're really there. Granted the CG doesn't even look all that good anymore; I don't know how well it'll hold up on the DS. Hopefully they can maintain the same image fidelity.
This will definately be a walk down memory lane, though. I was one of the Myst freaks back in the day. Unfortunately, if you've already beaten the game before and you remember how to do it, you can literally beat the game in 30 seconds. Still one of the best puzzlers/thrillers ever made IMO (the whole series in general, I loved Riven). Some of the puzzles are absolutely ridiculous, and the Myst story/universe has some amazing lore. I think it's definitely something everyone should experience, if only on the DS.

This was about last year, screenshots didn't really reveal much. They were also quite small but they looked pre-rendered (or very impressive for DS). I really can't remember much about it. I thought it was vaporware until just now since nothing has been heard of it since. Sorry I cant remember more.
All those features they mention were also mentioned for the PSP version. I wonder exactly what these new videos are, because from what I've played I didn't notice anything different (in the PSP version).
Surely they can't be messing with any of the story/character-related videos? I bet they've just added a couple of birds flying around on certain screens.
Wrong, the PSP version has the Rime age as well.
And speaking of RealMyst, I think it's by far the best version of Myst, it's actually worth checking out even for people who have already played Myst (and enjoy the game, of course). It's the only Myst in real-time 3D with free movement and look controls (ie no static screens), and it still looks really nice. And has the Rime age, as mentioned before.
