gregorum, do gaming w Riven remake titled Riven: New Discoveries from the Lost D’ni Empire, first details and screenshots - Gematsu

oh, great, so it’ll be even harder? fuck you, fire beads!

seriously, though, i’d buy it right now if i could. this game was one of my all-time favorites, and probably my favorite Myst game (i’ve played them all multiple times). But, holy shit, was it hard! possibly the most difficult of them all.

towerful,

I didn’t understand it the first time I played it (I was quite young). But I loved the music, the environment, the aesthetics, the architecture.

If you like Myst, but found Firmament missed the mark (I feel like it was “follow the wire” and “look for hard to see thing” instead of myst puzzles of “information way before you need it”, or “puzzles way before you have information”), check out Quern: Undying Thought.
It nails the Myst experience, imo.

gregorum,

I haven’t played Firmament yet. I did like Obduction a lot, tho. I’ve played that several times.

I’ll give Quern a try!

caseyweederman,

Wow, Quern looks fantastic. I’m gonna check that out.

Riven is still perfect, more perfect now that you don’t need to switch CDs. Doesn’t need a remake.

caseyweederman,

Yeah I’m gonna go ahead and very happily explore the islands in first-person real-time free-exploration mode (while wishing I had a VR setup)

What I learned very quickly playing Myst VR is that it’s hard to take notes, making the puzzles frustratingly difficult. Exploring is fun and the graphics are great, but that’s not the point of the game.

caseyweederman,

There’s got to be a notepad overlay feature somewhere. There’s no way there isn’t.

There is on Steam. If Oculus locks that down… Well.

Nooo, that gif is so much better when it’s reversed

I don’t know if anyone else here read the books as kids, but I’m hopeful they’re leaning more into the lore of D’ni, which the older games were always (imo) too slow and puzzle-focused to deliver well.

myfavouritename,

I read those when I was younger and re-read them recently. They are surprisingly good considering they were written by game developers.

That world is so fun and zero of it will be in a fighting game.

I_Has_A_Hat,

Are you saying that none of the fun will be in this game?

Aspyr has done a great job porting a lot of the best Star Wars games to modern systems, including the Wii version of The Force Unleashed for Switch (my favourite version). I’m sure they’re handling this with care.

Aren’t Aspyr garbage?

Last I remember is their janky arse port of Jade Empire and a unlaunchable KotoR.

MamboGator,
@MamboGator@lemmy.world avatar

I have played their ports of The Force Unleashed, Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy, Episode I Racer and Republic Commando on PS4/Switch, all without any issues. Either KOTOR is an outlier or I got very lucky/have low standards.

520,

No, they aren't garbage.

Can't speak for their Jade Empire port but their KOTOR port is actually pretty good. Might be something wrong with your handset.

Their general output is pretty good.

trustnoone,

Don’t know why you’re being negged. They’re “okay” and I do understand why some are negative about them. Overall they’ve done okay with re-bringing back out old games.

But you’re right there’s been some issues with jank, and some anger due to how they dealt with KOTOR 2 DLC and purchases.

The kotor2 remake has also been removed from aspyr.

IMO I’d say wait and see, let the reviews come up, and see if it fits for you.

CallMeButtLove,

Can you elaborate on why the Wii to Switch version is your favorite? I played it on 360 back in the day and have it on Steam. I’m curious what the differences are.

MamboGator,
@MamboGator@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve played both but the Wii version first, so that’s probably part of it. But it’s also because the PS3/360/PC version really showcases the physics engine while the Wii version naturally focuses on the motion controls. I just wasn’t very impressed with the physics-centric combat and found it to be more flash than substance, but I really liked how the motion controls were utilized for the lightsaber and force powers. Grabbing enemies with the force choke power and then using the nunchuk controller to toss them around felt especially satisfying.

I hope the Nude Raider mod gets updated too.

Mojojojo1993, do games w Tomb Raider I-II-III Remastered details enhancements, new features

Very much looking forward to this. Pissed I have to buy it for a third time. Bought original for PC many moons ago. Then the same version on steam. Then the remastered version on steam. And will again be buying the re re re mastered version on steam.

Nice to see some more info on the changes. I’m looking forward to getting my hands on this.

I’m glad they were looking at Anniversary and Legends instead of the reboot by square enix for the modern version of controls, loved those games on PS2.

If it goes well, can we expect a remaster of Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver series? They’re also owned by Crystal Dynamics and I recall them sending me a questionnaire asking about a possible revival

PreviouslyAmused,

Don’t…. don’t give me hope

Feels kind of weird to have a remaster coming long after a total remake. Granted, I don’t think they remade 2-3, just the first one - and it was for the sake of their small trilogy referencing events from the first game. (I think it went, Legend, then Anniversary (Remake), then Underworld, right?)

lloram239,

The original games are so old that it is quite messy to get them to run on PC these days and the remake changed the gameplay quite substantially. So this remaster is quite welcome and probably a lot cheaper to produce than a full 2 and 3 remake.

As for Anniversary, the story there is a bit weird, as Anniversary and Legend are basically completely independent games that have nothing much to do with each other other than the engine. Legend is a reboot and Anniversary is a remake. It’s only with Underworld that the the story of those two get wrangled together into a trilogy. Only the first game is taken into account there, all the other sequels of the original game are ignored.
