No, but I expect something high from them. They're very receptive to MediaMolecule's output in general.
And if LBP freakin' 3 can get a 9 then surely Dreams can too.
Not yet, but my prediction they will give DREAMS a 10 or 9 minimum.
Edge always championing innovations and/or fun in video games.
Nope, nothing in Dreams needs that so far (seems to get asked almost every page here and the OT!)
If I had to pick a best bet for a 10 from any outlet, it'd be Edge.
Ha ha, fair enough.
Aaahh, yeah. Makes sense. Thanks for the clarification :)
Someone make a 2D Sonic game in Dreams plz
i remember there being a 3D sonic game fairly early on, not sure about a 2D one.
Nope, the top streamer during then was some Korean or Japanese dude with 12k viewers.
UK sites will give a very good score for a UK game ;)
And Edge loves creative games.
Sorry if already posted: A Developer Review of Dreams https://uk.ign.com/articles/dreams-ps4-game-developer-take
"...the studio has also created an experience where even someone like me who makes games for a living wants to spend their free time playing around in Dreams. "
"...the studio has also created an experience where even someone like me who makes games for a living wants to spend their free time playing around in Dreams. "
Now that's a very interesting take, to the point the guy questions his very way of working.
I do understand the need of a PC port. Yet first, PCs already have tones of powerful tools. Probably not as compeling and integrated, but more powerful for sure.
Second and most important, Dreams works on a frame of reference that's the hardware it runs on. If you take that away, it's a complete mess, and even if you keep the thermo limitation, not a great number of people will be able to play your game. Let's not forget the fraction of people having a pc as powerful as a ps4pro is still not the majority.
If you take away the thermo limit, it will be adored by hardcore creators, and likely useless to many.
Net net, the fact content can be freely created and shared makes that game even more a headache to port to a shapeshifting performance platform than any other game.
If I'm Sony I would be seriously considering both a PC port as well as making it a PS5 pack in. Dreams isn't some one and done retail game. It's an engine that could be used all over for years. I would be looking at ways for end users to charge real money for their creations as well as porting to mobile. Go all in.
These numbers are being made by single streamers. As of the time of my post right now it has 13k viewers, but over 12k of them are from one streamer. For a game to be seen as making a splash on twitch it has to be high numbers because lots of people are streaming, not just one.
Damn, it seems to be pretty extensive, considering the sort of games people were able to translate or somewhat remake. I'll give it a shot when I can. Looks far more interesting to me than their previous games
It's not just an engine. It's a 3D Modeling software, a music recording and editing software, an animation software, a digital painting software... and more.
Apologies if these have been posted already. I did give the last page a quick scan and saw nothing...

I want to make a chicken in Dreams early access and never ever make it come true. Now.. I will do my best to finish it!
No point rushing a review out with a game this big. I'm not posting mine for a few days yet.
TrueGaming 9/10
This game deserves a 11/10.
The amount of polish here, from the smallest things like UI animations and your Imp gestures, to the truly revolutionary interface that made the impossible possible - allow a game controller to be used as a mouse, keyboard, sculpting tool, you name it, plus how freaking powerful the feature set is - it's all absolutely insanely well made.
Can't believe a PS4 runs this. Dreams has so much potential next gen.

I'm chuffed to see people reflecting positively on Dreams being either "not simply a game" or "more than just a game". I know it's Media Molecule and their creativity is revered, but it's wonderful to see people see its potential as something more than a game.
Also, the UI in Dreams deserves an award in and of itself - what an amazing way to present everything it has to offer.

It's SIE's first 90+ Metacritic game in 2020, after 2 AAA games; Days Gone & Death Stranding.

Have you ever been in awe of a game? Or played an ip that made you say bravo but internally can't quite explain how quickly it resonates. Dreams is that. I'd say pick up a used PS4 if you have to because there are some IP you just don't miss out on.
Dreams is one of them.

Dreams Review: Powerful Packaging, Okay Creations
Dreams brings a powerful creation tool to consoles, but does it outshine the countless games already being made and shared online?

This review mirrors most of my experience with the play side. Playing the creations of others is a lot playing not great freeware indie games on itch.io. I would emphasize how this is not a Little Big Planet or Mario Maker situation where most content is at least a little interesting because it takes very little effort to make a complete experience that has the gameplay and visuals of a professionally made game. The very few games that were legitimately interesting and unique makes me feel a little bad that the creators have no ownership of what they made for the same reason. Basically every part of the design which makes it good came from the creators of that content, not from Media Molecule.6/10, sometimes they are on OpenCritic

That said, the review does leave out how fun it is to use those creation tools, because the reviewer understandably wasn't really interested in using that part of the package. I'm finding it kinda worth it just to build random stuff I have no intention of uploading.

The last Part of the conclusion is also fuckin stupid saying that "if you are an ambitious hobbyist, it'd be better if you'd learn to use Unreal Engine". I mean, what?
It's not, MM have said they are only working on a PS5 version currently and it's not in development for PC. They have mentioned PC a couple times though, so probably a discussion happening, so at least a chance in the future.
Dreams on PS5 is ‘obvious next step’ says Media Molecule
The ‘obvious next step’ for PS4 exclusive Dreams is a version on the PS5, according to LittleBigPlanet creator Media Molecule.

I wouldn't say the comparison to itch.io is quite fair since the overwhelming majority of those games are 2D and with far less production values, scope, diversity and environmental or physics systems.
With respect to gameplay, I think part of the point of Dreams is appreciation beyond just base mechanical input. There's a reason many of the creations are sculptures, works of art, visual design, music, animated pieces, short dramas and so on, because it's less about experiencing and exploring only gameplay, and more about exploring people's visions of creativity in a broader and more general sense.
And yes, of course it's true many of the creations in Dreams are of a less polished calibre comparative to professional game design, but there's a novelty in that too, a quirkyness and element of humour or sense of surprise so to speak, that on consoles at least, there is simply no alternative for at present. In that sense it's not just the accessible tools and sharing platform that are wholly unique on PS4, but the types of experiences that are on offer in Dreams too, and there's huge merit to that.
