Myst Is Bringing Back Its Classic 90s FMVs To Xbox Game Pass

Myst is a good game and I've been playing it on Game Pass, but I'd really like modern remakes of Riven and Myst III: Exile.

Havent played myst. Will give it a go. Is it anything like the journeyman project?

@101Force There has been a few remakes of Myst over the years but I don't think they've ever redone Riven which is pretty strange. I hope they do remake Riven as I personally prefer it to Myst.

@PhhhCough : The puzzles and gameplay in Myst can feel arbitrary and disjointed compared to the Journeyman Project series, hence part of the reason I'd like to see remakes of Riven and Myst III: Exile as they are a lot more cohesive overall. But that isn't to say Myst isn't a good game, more polished games like the Journeyman Project series owe a lot to the experimentation of Myst, and Myst's disjointed gameplay lends itself to a fatastic artistic approach that wouldn't really be possible with other games.

Oh this is so good! Rand Miller = Atrus, and without him it's just not right. Glad to see they're bringing it back.

@101Force Exile was Presto Studios, and probably has issues with the FMV licensing featuring Dourif, but Riven, yes please!

MYST holds a special place of nostalgia for those of us who craved accessible content in the '90s, but that does not mean the franchise gets a “free pass” from criticism or exemption from censorship. The games still employed sexist tropes and game mechanics that enforced/internalized misogynistic ideology (granted, to a lesser degree than other games at the time) in the individual minds that were participating in this male-created adventure. The supplemental books and comics that were released were a little better in their depiction/treatment of female characters, but not by much, and managed to gain a cult-like following amongst the less developed minds of that generation. It would have been better for all if MYST was sequestered to the nostalgic past, but in the last two decades, there have been attempts to resurrect the franchise onto the "big screen" in the form of a movie or series. These attempts have mostly self-destructed under poor management, but the project keeps getting passed to larger studios, and I would be lying if I said I was not worried about the continued proliferation of '90s era game misogyny to modern media. We are/were too late to stop another Mortal Kombat, but we can stop this. If you consider yourself to be a feminist, please consider signing this petition to "cease any-and-all progress on creating a movie or TV series based on the misogynistic video game franchise of Myst"

Even if they modernize the content for the movie or series, people will possibly want to explore the source material and ingest the inherent sexism therein. It must end. As my favorite line in the new Star Wars movies suggests, we must "let the past die. Kill it, if you have to."
Please note, I am not the author of the petition, but I do believe in it.
