A complaint often levelled at user-generated content is that it rarely plays as well as a professionally made game. It’s a fair criticism: hobbyist creators working in suites such as LittleBigPlanet are often capable of incredible artistic achievements, but it’s rare for amateurs to get that all-important “feel” right. That’s what makes this Super Mario 64-inspired sandbox made in Dreams all the more impressive.
Media Molecule director said the studio's next title is more a game & less a creation tool. He also regrets not having a PC version of Dreams.
If there was one PC version that should have existed it’s Dreams
I’m super glad they will be going back to something more traditional gaming wise.
I’m sure they’ll find something creative to implement like Tearaway on vita. What a gem 💎 that thing was!!!
My dream was DreamsVR and creating landscapes, characters, and sculptures using that amazing toolbox in vr, that would have been something imo.
Dreams PC was the dream. Woulda given the game a much needed boost. Here’s hoping they follow it up well.
They probably ran into the same problem they did with the potential of last of us factions....the support needed was just too much to consider expanding to more platforms for a smallish studio.
I use to say this when the game was first releasing, many kept saying it would not be possible, something about the toolsets.
I said this was one game that needed to be on as many platforms as possible, including PC and Xbox just like how Minecraft is everywhere.
Creation tools just don't work on console very well. It's definitely more suited for PC, and it's very odd Sony decided not to port it over. Good MM is working on an actual game instead.
Super Mario 64 DS was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.
Needs more appreciation. I never had an N64 so this was what I played. Sure the Yoshi hat mechanic at first is a slog but you unlock Mario and the others for real and then it takes off. Personally I never had an issue with the controls. Can't forget the mini games and the 4 player rumble over download play.
Indeed, as stated in the article there were tonnes of control options and very much a 'take whatever you like, leave the rest' attitude to most of the game's extras.
IGN writes: "Media Molecule has said the layoffs at the Sony-owned studio have affected plans for ongoing community and curation support in Dreams."
How self sustained can DREAM be when it's basically stuck on PS4? I don't think it's even gotten a PS5 upgrade. Ending support for what is essentially a game making engine is basically death. SONY did DREAMS dirty.
My only complaint with Dreams is that I went into the game thinking I would be able to remix and use all of the other user created assets no matter what. Yes there are quite a bit that are unlocked to borrow but I found that most of the user created characters that I wanted to use in my own endeavors were not able to be downloaded or remixed.
I get it that people don’t want others taking credit for and stealing the show with their creations, but I just imagine what the Dreams world would be like if everything were 100% “remix-able”.
There’s also the chance that maybe I’m not doing it right and these creations are usable?
That's pretty damn impressive. Feel like this game is gonna be a big deal.
Looking forward to what my mind creates with Dreams....this is creativity at its finest folks.....Furthermore, I look forward to seeing what others create and try out their games as well.
Flawlessly is an exaggeration. Besides the speed in which he runs, most of the animations do look quite similar. I wish they'd release the early access physically, it's hard for me to fork over 30 for a digital game but dang it I wanna play this
good job recreating the shitty physics of that overrated game, dreams is a creation-tool marvel indeed
