ign.com has put up a preview of MYST IV. "The visuals are of such high quality, in fact, that Ubi decided the game would be DVD-only; the high-resolution textures, integrated video, and massive amounts of voice acting would mean as many as ten CDs." Go here for more.

! like the bit about Myst selling 19 billion copies (and counting). With sales like that Cyan could run Uru for free!!

You would think so. The problem is, they are in buisness to make Billions. They may need to make 1 more game to get there, so I wouldn't count on Until Uru to be free for a while. :runs:

Just an interesting tidbit... Genvieve said that they were up to 10 CDs when the decided to scrap it for a DVD-only release, so ostensibly, it would have been MORE than 10 CDs .

As it is, I think they're putting it out on a single-sided dual layer and a single-sided single layer DVD (the second being for international content... you get all of it in one box instead of individual localizations).

1 dvd will be a whole lot better than 10+ cds.

Can you imagine it on floppy disc--no, let's just not go there.
