Myst III: Exiles has been announced, to be released Spring 2001. Excited is just not the word. I lived in Riven for weeks. Without doubt the best game, the most beautiful, I have ever played. The puzzles weren't puzzles if you spent time just wandering around, learning the history, trying to understand the culture of the world, and then everything would become intuitive just like you were a native. I never wanted to finish it so I could spend more time looking around, immersed in Riven. That's why I really hope they don't fuck up Exiles. Cyan and the Miller brothers don't appear to be involved, and looking at the Gallery... it just doesn't look as deep as Riven. I'll find out, I guess, in time. There's a monthly series following the development of Exiles on Presto's site.
A pearl, hidden in the press release: Cyan are working on Myst: Dimensions, with a new 3d engine so that the entire world is rendered realtime. Night/day transitions, ambient wildlife; release date Q4 2000. This article has a link to a demo movie. I just don't know what to say. I can't wait.
