Uru - Ages Beyond Myst Analyzed
Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a CNN article discussing the comeback of Myst, in the form of Uru:Ages Beyond Myst. This real-time 3D adventure has been worked on for over 5 years at developer Cyan Worlds, and contrary to earlier impressions, evidently isn't an MMORPG in the conventional sense - the article says that "When it hits stores this fall, Uru will include a single-player mode that won't require an Internet connection. For a yet-to-be-determined monthly fee, players will be able to join others in the online version."
The Official Uru Website also has Wallpapers. On the UbiSoft E3 website there is a cool Trailer![2nd game down]
Cyan also runs a in character site. Its called the DRC, and without getting into too much detal, the DRC is an organization from within the Uru Story. There are more screen shots and even music that you can get from DRC Site.
There are many cool community sites, including MystCommunity. Cyan even releases some Open Source software from this website.
Looking at the screen shots this could be one of the most visualy inspiring games in a long time. If they can pull off this Hybrid MMOG way to gamming(you did RTFA didn't you?) it will be very cool.
There have been quite a few articles on Uru recently, to find most of them, just do a search on Google News
If you notice, Cyan is releasing some of their software as Open Source.
They also run all their servers on Linux.
Wow. They are such Microsoft Whores.
Stop trolling and get a life.
