Rand Miller, CEO of Cyan Worlds, talks to us about how URU Live was reborn. Originally developed a few years ago, the online portion of this Myst sequel was canceled by UBISoft before it ever got off the ground. Recently, Miller and his company announced a partnership with Turner and GameTap to bring it back. In addition to our interview, we just re-added URU Live to our game list. To hype it click here.
The full interview is available here. |

"Half of this game is ninety percent mental." |
The game looks interesting, but I didn't see any mention of combat...is there?

There really is no combat at all in the Myst series, save for the very rare story decision moments and it's not really combat, just deciding the fate of something or someone. My might see some combat but it's usually done by someone else as you watch it happen since it relates to the story. Myst is mainly about exploring, puzzle solving, and story. It's always been that type of game. Some of the puzzle are really fun and some are just down right hard and confusing at times but that is what makes the Myst (Riven is apart of the series, second game though doesn't have the Myst name) series great. |

Aye more of a "thinkers" game. I played Myst way way back and enjoyed it. May be interesting to see it in an mmo. Certainly a break from all the combat and competition. Not saying now that I will forego my mmorpgs, just taht it looks like a nice break.

I have to agree. You have to approach the Myst series with a certain mindset because it's in a very specific type of game. It's a shame that more of these games don't come out anymore. Everything has to be fast paced or have tons of explosions :(

I think it'll be like apples and oranges to look for 'traditional' MMO features in Uru Live. It'll branch out beyond 'talk to contact, go do mission/quest, kill things along the way, come back to contact.' So if you want to try something different, this is just the thing.

I'm an old member of UrU and the game is so far removed from your "Traditional" types of MMORPG's that it is a breath of fresh air and an alternitive to the old grind and shoot em up's that seem to rule the MMORPG worlds. I wait with great "Antica.....pation for this resserection to hit the online community. |

I <3 nerds and the color pink, and my PC. |
The original Myst was one of the first computer games that I ever really got "hooked on". It has made me the gameaholic I am today. I would like to play this game just for a little change in pace, if nothing else.
I love solving puzzles and the Myst games have always had the best ones out there.

A minute to meet someone, an hour to know them, a day to love them, but a lifetime to forget them. |
 My first post here. I'll admit URU Live brought me here. I love all the Myst games. I've just gotten a new graphics card and with it, came a full copy of Deux Ex, Invisible War. I'm going to try it, but I'm not sure I'll like it, after being used to the Myst style of games. URU Live with friends will be great, I bet. Lovely interview with Rand Miller.
