Mac game updates: realMyst, Summoner, NWN

Mac game updates: realMyst, a real-time 3D re-creation of the original Myst, is being purposefully delayed in order to avoid stealing thunder from the release of Myst III: Exile in early May; Summoner, a 3D role-playing game that originally released for the Playstation 2, is currently in the beta testing process at Graphic Simulations Corporation; and the Mac version of Bioware's Neverwinter Nights has fallen behind development of its Windows counterpart during the Carbonization process but is now almost caught up.

    Real Myst

    Very slack that this isn't out yet. The PC version came out Nov 2000.

    I had heard there were technical issues delaying it: the realtime engine was heavily optimized for the PC and they didn't have any competent Mac programmers who could port it without chewing oodles of OpenGL memory.

    Sounds like they are still stalling.

    Too bad. The Myst phenomenon started on the Mac. Mac owners gave it its start. Now we play second fiddle.

    RealMyst

    Yeah, WTF? I figured that RealMyst would come out for the Mac before the PeeCee. Had to break down and get the PeeCee version for my g/f as I scratched my head looking at the Mac section wondering what product I was really holding in my hand..

    Stealing thunder...

    RealMyst should be a pack-in free bonus with Myst III. Selling it as a separate product is silly; what will it add to the original game (which you can get used for $5 just about anywhere)?

    Sources?

    Where are the sources for any of this information? The links are merely to the useless, defunct games section of MacNN.

    Real Myst delay

    Cyan has finished programming, but Ubi Soft, the publisher, is delaying the release. At www.insidemacgames.com there are some comments from one of the Cyan guys. He is very sorry about the situation, and hopes that people who wants to buy realMyst, writes polite emails to the publisher.

    ah yes

    www.insidemacgames.com deserves some credit for the information, then, don't they?
