Riven never felt like a game, more like experiencing a unique culture where everything intrigues your emotions. You don't play Riven, you go there.

@user-no9wi4vu3x 3 ай бұрын

Exactly what I did, all those long years ago. Even after finally, finally understanding all the puzzles and finishing Riven, I would regularly go back there and just watch the scenery, as stupid as that may sound. Everything, just everything, the visuals and the phenomenal music, was, and still is sooo relaxing. I can’t tell you how happy I am they kept the original music. I can’t imagine Riven with any other totally different music. It probably wouldn’t work for me. As for the new visuals, they’re just stunning. Just stunning.

My favorite part of this game was entering this temple and briefly seeing Ghen's face being broadcasted in that cage while he is observing you. That spooked me as a kid, and still does actually. Now I can't wait to be spooked again, in 4K.

My Dad bought the 5 disk CD ROM box set in 1998. I still have it as a keep sake. My favorite memories were playing it with him. Since the announcement came out for the reboot, I have been sending him all the recent videos, and he is just as excited as I am for it. It really is a full circle moment playing a point and click game at 6 years old to being 32 and playing that same game in virtual reality. We have come so far and I'm so happy I'm here to see it.

Woaw this is impressive the level of detail, and the memories this brings back. This is one of the first place you visit when you arrive in Riven. We are all here waiting to see Gehn's face appear on the imager and how he will look and hopefully realistic, this will bring so much to the world. Keep up the good work.

@Progger11 3 ай бұрын

This is my favorite game of all time. I have been dreaming of a remaster like this for so many years, and I can't believe it's finally happening! I had never played a game before Riven so immersive or one that made me feel so transported to another living, breathing world. And I suspect I never will again. It's such a special work of art. Preserving it for the future like this with updated graphics and modernized gameplay is honestly a form of important cultural preservation. I can't wait to experience this amazing world all over again, for the first time. You guys are breathing new life into a masterpiece. Feel proud.

@user-no9wi4vu3x 3 ай бұрын

Honestly, I never expected this to happen either. Or, I don’t know whether you did, but I didn’t. The level of detail in the wireframes alone made me think they would never want to touch this again, because it would mean SO much work, that it would be forbidding from a cost-perspective alone. Obviously, science and computer technology with it, has now progressed to a point, that made it possible for them to go ahead and just do it. I’m so happy. So happy. To me Riven is the pinnacle of gaming, for so many reasons. The intro. The level of detail in the pictures. The level of detail in the world. The music. The background story. The complexity of the puzzles. The beauty of the puzzles. Just everything. I can understand there are people that don’t like this kind of game, but to me there’s nothing that outperforms this. Almost nothing, I have to say.

The nostalgia hits so hard. Myst and Riven are why I've gotten into classic macs. Always had PC in my home growing up but when I would visit a bud's house in mid 90s Provo, UT I was intoduluced to Mac amd Myst. Myst was a super adventure to me back then on what must have been an old Performa all in one variant. Even using the Mac for things other than Myst or Riven was still steeped in mystique as I associated the machine with Cyan games. Very cool.

I appreciate the choice to not greeble everything like crazy. It’s easy to get carried away in the pursuit of detail and fidelity, but this cleaner geometric look keeps a certain continuity with the original style.
