When is Myst3 released

By Birgitta Fors • On 19 February 2001 • From Sweden

I am very excited about this new Myst(III). Ihave played the first one and Riven. I wish I could get a copy free, but what are the odds of that?

Looking forward to playing the game.

What will kill EXILE:
1. Letterboxed images
2. Non-transparent interface
3. Less than 16 million color images

Myst remains popular because of the window it created in the computer screen at the time. Riven failed- images were small, buttons were all over the screen. Even the re-done Myst failed to update adequately, increasing color depth but failing to enlarge the image to match current monitor sizes and resolutions. If these lessons are ignored with Exile, consider the adventure genre doomed.

I liked the exile interview. I agree that the eye candy factor is a BIG draw (at lest for me) for buying a game. That was the number one reason I bought Riven was the intense realism of the game.

I look forward to seeing what exile has to offer.
