Playing Riven in Virtual Desktop's Auditorium Environmentīy the time Myst III: Exile came out, real-time 3D games were all the rage, but they couldn't deliver the quality of graphics even close to the prerendered look necessary for the Myst games. I will say that seeing it at this scale does make you wish Cyan would release a remastered version with less compression. The sound is so good that it really envelopes you in the environment. If you are using Virtual Desktop, turn on 5.1 surround sound for the perfect experience. I can't tell you how much fun it is to revisit Riven like this. Whereas Myst had a more surreal feeling to it, Riven felt like a real living place. The graphics and sound were mind-blowing when it came out and I still feel that the environments in Riven are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen in a game. Since Myst was so successful in this format, it should be no surprise that Riven works just as well. Though if you have a headset with a passthrough camera system, this may not be much of an issue. The only downside is that you can't take notes very easily while a headset is strapped to your face. This is still my favorite version of Myst, despite having been remade into real-time 3D with realMyst and realMyst: Masterpiece Edition. You would think that the low resolution graphics wouldn't hold up to that size, but honestly, you soon forget all about it. You really are seeing a life-sized view of the game. It's obviously not in 3D, but the effect is surprisingly impressive. Playing Myst on a huge screen is exactly what I thought it would be like all those years ago. The versions of the games I have been playing are the ones currently available for sale on GOG and Steam. For the Myst series, it's only Myst V: End of Ages and realMyst: Masterpiece Edition that can work with VorpX, both with some issues that I'll discuss later. I've talked about this more in depth in my VorpX Review. The effect can be amazing, but since these games weren't designed to run in a VR headset, there are usually some downsides. It can also display a 2D game on a large virtual screen, but its main unique feature is the ability to display real-time 3D games in actual 3D in the VR headset. This is useful for some of the later games in the series, as well as for watching movies or for other games entirely. It can also emulate a surround sound speaker set up extremely well.
PLAYING REAL MYST GOG WITH VIVE MOVIE
It has many different environments to choose from, from a simple black background to a full sized movie theater. I really like Virtual Desktop for this purpose. Now with Virtual Reality headsets, this has become a real possibility.įor this to work, you need an application that will create a large virtual screen to view non-VR games in the VR headset. When I was a kid, I thought the coolest thing ever would be to play Myst on a giant movie screen. These games were perfect for turning off all the lights, putting on a pair of headphones and really immersing yourself in the experience. The Myst games are fundamentally about transporting you to new worlds. It's the 25th Anniversary of Myst this year, so what better thing to do than revisit the series.
