- Start date
Got it! Can't wait to try it out.
I want to do some creative work but considering how much play time I have I'll probably be playing other people's creations. I have high hopes for dreams in this situation, a place where I can play original, short and entertaining experiences for a few minutes

Wait, really?
So you can create/upload and play people's creations without PS+?
Is there any function locked behind PS+?
Buying as soon as it goes up in NA. I get off work at 8am and will just stay up a few hours extra. No way I'm missing out on this.
Probably the mp mode which is coming after launch will need plus.
Yeah that would make sense.
Though MP games will also be fan creations so it would be nice if fan created content wasn't behind a pay well in general.
Thanks!

Man some of the creations already are crazy.
Going to be mental seeing what people can do with a bit of time

MM has been profitable this whole time.
Correct, it is in their financial report for each year, can't find the link but every year for the past 5 years they have declared at least 3 million pounds profit which is not much in the grand scheme of things but they aren't losing money.

I'm guessing it's until they run out of slots, but who knows how many they have.
They also said that if you just want to play creations and don't want to be a creator, it's alright ;)
Do all the tutorials and you'll slowly get the hang of it. After 2-3 days it'll become easy. Have fun!
Everyone who didn't play the beta should search for the user olit123. They collected a majority of the best stuff from the beta and categorized it by the week it was created. The best of dreams in an easy to access package.
The japanese version is not out until 22th April. I don't think they'll stop selling the english version before selling japanese version.
I imagine the timeline will be weeks or maybe months than days. I think internally Sony had a target of how many copies they want to sell before stopping sales. Maybe a couple hundred copies or something.
During the beta they mentioned that they were working on a control system that would feature no motion control at all. As False Witness says though, it clicks pretty quickly and it's far more powerful than any alternative they could have implemented.
Have you done the tutorials or are you just jumping straight into creating? The tutorials do a good job of easing you into the controls.
There's a learning curve to creating, for sure. It just takes time, but not a lot. Just going through the tutorials usually gets you used to everything, in my experience.
Have you tried jumping into an actual game within Dreams, yet? Olit123 has collected a bunch of good stuff from the beta. SlurmMackenzie is a creator from Reset that has quite a few very fun little levels that play well.
Apparently but they haven't announced an actual number. They did say there was a lot more slots than the Beta though, so you shouldn't have an issue buying it today.
The first thing I did was completing the first sets of tutorials. Even after them I struggle. I forgot 1/3 of what I should be able to do already. it's just very complex and I haven't ever before used the motion controls of the Playstation controller now that I think about it. I need more time to adjust and I guess I need to do the tutorials maybe a second time.
I can already see though, if you invest effort and time in Dreams your options are near limitless.
One of the main complaints on the 1st day but you get used to it, and see its benefits really soon. They are also working on a non-motion controlled version for accessibility
I personally find Move much harder for most things you can do
Man, between this today and the PS5 info, my hype levels are in the stratosphere. Gotta make it through the workday...
Can't buy yet, but link for US store: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP9000-CUSA08010_00-DREAMS0000000000
