Yes, they have made some changes. I wonder how many changes will be throughout the Riven world. I am sure they were somethings they wanted to do a little different from the original. I can't wait to explore the whole new game. It does run pretty good. I do have a benchmark video posted, running on an RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. While the game looks like it is going to be beautiful, it certainly isn't going to be ultra realistic like some of the other UE5 powered titles. This probably has more to do with an attempt to keep it light enough that most systems can run it. Thank you for the comment @charzakwinn1398!
I'm not a fan of the CGI characters when compared to the live action ones in the original clips, even though I know that there is no way they can have the original live action clips without locking the camera in place. Other then that, the island itself looks amazing.
Yeah, the live action videos were a nice touch to the original. However, they probably could have done better with the new CGI renders too. Still the game looks like it will be fun.
Agreed. The CGI characters are really iffy for me. Part of what made the original so immersive was having those real people there talking to you. Other than that, I'm loving how this is looking.
At least they were able to track those original performances as motion capture references for the new models. So it's still those performances retained, in a way. And I'm sure in future updates they will update the character models and make them photorealistic. Until that day, I still think this will be the new definitive way to play the game. Overall I'm still incredibly excited!
That said, I think it helps that they're reusing the original audio in a lot of places, and while Atrus' lines are re-recorded, he's still played by Rand Miller.
HUH! Interesting... You can access the Marble Dome almost right away... That wasn't the case in the Original game. I thought the changes here in the Remake would be smaller, but i guess they are quite significant!
If you are watching this video on a lower resolution monitor then you aren't seeing it in 4K (3840x2160). So naturally it will look the same when you play it at the same lower resolution. If you have a Microcenter or other Computer Hardware store near by you can potentially see 4K in action. Then again, retail stores are notorious for using lower quality, low resolution inputs/source material.
Thank you for the replay. Yes, It is fairly realistic in comparison to the old. I don't know about Atlas, perhaps we can find out when the full game launches.
@@朝隈瞳 I installed it on an older computer with the almost six year old Radeon 5700 XT and it played beautifully. I may give my wife's laptop a try, it has an older APU and even less power.
Aye! Have you never played a Myst game before? They are all a blast. You can download the Riven demo from Steam if you want to check it out without committing any funds.
There are some differences to be sure. Perhaps you are talking about how the game was rendered before with prerender scenes that you clicked through. There was indeed something about the first Myst and Riven that this rendering type seemed to lend to. I still can't wait to revisit Riven and explore the world again, even though it will be different.
@@kalkstein2694 In this version of Riven, the scenery has been changed in places where changing it makes no sense. For example, going through the cave at the beginning of the game.

I always found Riven the most beautiful world of the series. It's nice to see it coming back to life with a modern game engine.
Some of the other footage of gameplay shows some real nice areas. I think it is going to be great. It might be too short!
@@Uberklocked Yeah, it might be easier to move around quickly and also less chance of missing that button that was only visible in one slide.
One of my favorite game of all time!
Strange to watch this without the noise of the cd spinning
This brings me back to 1997 when the original released. I see they’ve made some subtle changes in the world! Seems like the game runs really well.

Now all we need is Myst III Exile getting the same treatment ♥😍
I love Rivens world, so mysterious and isolated but beautiful and mystical at the same time!
Wow, this is awesome! I can't wait to play the full remake now! Thanks for sharing.
Just a few more days!
Played it, it's awesome. An amazing remake.

@@reasonlessguru3724 c'est ce qui a rendu le jeu unique et là il l'on tout simplement foutu en l'air...je reste avec les anciennes version !
Riven is pure Utopian Scholastic ✨
It seems there are large water holes in the ocean, maybe because of the dislocation of Riven. Totaly consistant ! Nice addition!
HUH! Interesting...

Currently UA-cam is taking it's sweet time processing this video. Must be high load today.
Beautiful game!
It looks even better with motion blur on
I will test that out. Thank you for sharing!
Wow!
Does this game have a reverse Y-axis option for the mouse?
Yes, it sure does.
@@Uberklocked Thank you!
No ray tracing sadly. But I remember playing this game when I was 10. I couldn't finish It because I had no idea what to do I got stuck lol
My monitor isn't capable of 4K and neither is my video card but it looks just like this when I played the demo. I guess I don't really need 4K. Lol

the days are moving too slow.... I request an early release please!
I can't wait either, my friend!
We need Riven Remake for Xbox
Yeah, I haven't found anything yet on a potential release date for consoles. Here's to hoping.

Yes! I don't remember if that happens in the original or not. I believe it does.

@@朝隈瞳 Hop on the other end of the mine cart and simply go back the way you came.

Yes, I don't remember if the original had the footstep sounds or not. Nice touch for sure!
one of the best adventures ever although sometimes very difficult

Crap the first time round...Yep crap again 👍🏻
it's not the same Riven anymore.

Care to elaborate as to why? Apart from the fact that it obviously looks different with the completely different technology used.
