Dreams - Review Thread
- Thread starter Lant_War
- Start date
Instead of allowing creations to be sold on PSN, I'd prefer if they just added a tipping system within the game, so that content creators could get paid without having to sell their creations or without people being forced to pay to play the content.
i have a better suggestion.
just let those who own dreams play the game through dreams, content which passes the criteria to be sold will be offered for a cheap price point on PSN for those that dont own dreams to buy.
If Dreams does get to the point where monetisation for creators is becoming a thing I think there's a lot of different ways they could go about it. A tipping system would work well I think, but the idea of the most ambitious game appearing stand-alone on PSN is super appealing as well. There could be a system where things are available for a price outside of Dreams and available for free within Dreams, with creators renumerated in a similar way to a PS+ or Game Pass.
Personally though the likes are enough :D
I mean review bombing is real fucking dumb in general but I genuinely can't imagine what kind of utter gremlin would review bomb something as positive as Dreams.
Yeah, that sounds good.
And the best of the best also for PSN, so creators can make more money from people who don't own Dreams.
I did notice a few days ago that the user score for Yakuza 5 Remastered was at 1.5. I know it's one of the lesser installments in the franchise, but it's not THAT bad!
User scores should just be removed from Metacritic entirely. They're useless and serve as nothing but a battlefield for fanboy nonsense.
One of the 85 reviews isn't very happy with the motion controls for creating but I believe he doesn't mention that the game got a stick control update...
Bad technical performance, unintuitive tools and weak tutorials, clumsy controls.. There are always good reasons to drop the score a bit. But yeah, considering how rigid and sort of formulaic game reviews tend to be, Dreams is definitely going to be hard to review for a lot of people.
Considering monetization, I could chat with Kareem and Christophe Villedieu those last days and, while i can't discuss the details, let's say there is a TON of legal issues here when you think about it, mostly with content being used from other creators etc.. But not only.
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.

Honestly it should appear on both. I think Dreams is perfect for the PC market, and could do with a wider base of content creators, not to mention coverage and streamers.
Yeah, but currently Mm should focus on other things like VR, online MP and the PS5 upgrade.
They are not very big and a PC port is a lot of work...
Quoting this so I can check these out when I'm back from my work trip next week. Thanks!
Salty fanboys/fangirls will be salty. It's pathetic 😂.
Edit: looks like the troll user reviews have been deleted by MC. It's now back to a 93.

Yeah, the biggest issue for monetisation is that it isn't really compatible with collaboration. When the genealogy of most creations runs into dozens of users, how do you decide who gets what cut?
So this project has always intrigued me, but I'm definitely not a content creator , however seeing what others have come up with is impressive. I especially love the kaiju game , that should be made into a full standalone game .
I've been using unity for years in the hopes if making a game solo but the tools provided here sounds like a great place to create early concepts of games .

Except that's not legal actually :p Or rather that's a grey area
Well same problem, you're still making money witi something when you potentially don't have the right to everyting you have in your creation, and that also mean instruments etc... difficult to make something in dreams without anything from somoene else, or even to check that
Y5 is actually one of the fan favorites — definitely top three along with 0 and 2.
So that makes its MC user score even more confusing.
The good stuff is great but i really love the dumb
Meme worthy stuff that people throw togeather

User reviews can be useful but the MC rarely if ever seem to be.
Only reason I could think of for 5 getting review bombed is maybe playable Haruka, because clearly playable women in Yakuza is bad... (if that is indeed the reason, people are gonna lose it when they find out the best character in 7 is a woman). Either than or people are still mad that 3 and 4 made some localisation changes against transphobic translations/content (which the team themselves changed in Japan because they reecognised as certain bits as being insensitive to people).
Yakuza 5 (and Dreams) rock. Neither deserve to be review bombed :(
Great, i am gonna start following you on Dreams and check those dreams later, thanks!
Yes, I have the same plan, gonna try to develop a demo for the game I'm trying to make on Dreams.
I don't see monetization being viable with the current game. One of the bases of Dreams is sharing content.
I can see they launching a 'developer version' of the tools in the future.
Y5 is one of the fan favourites? That's definitely not how I've seen it over the years. People talk about how overlong and bloated it is all the time.
It's getting review bombed because it's (currently) an exclusive, and pretty much all exclusives on Metacritic get user scores in the zeroes from fanboys.
5 actually is popular within the community. Some have issues with its size while others love it for its scope. They are both valid points of view. Either way, I doubt we'll ever get another Yakuza this size or content packed.
As for review bombing it for being an exclusive, well that just makes me think users are actually more moronic than I previously thought. Which is some feat....
I'm not sure how assets shared in Dreams would be legally different from free assets in the Unity store. As long as the proper license agreement is agreed to when a created publishes the tree they just sculpted or whatever, it seems like it wouldn't be an issue.
But how would Sony or MM interfere in a process made completely outside of their ecosystem ?
