PushSquare - Dreams - Media Molecule's Magnum Opus Is One of PS4's Absolute Best

What dreams are made of

[Jin_Sakai]

Amazing score! Dreams is set out to be yet another great game from Media Molecule.

[GaboonViper]

Cannot wait, this is gonna be spectacular.

[fiveby9]

Kudos to Sony for letting Media Molecule make this title and gave them the time to do so in their own manner. Sony clearly loves to foster and support creative development studios. I suspect this game will play great on PS4 and continue on long into the PS5 years.

[fr0sty]

It truly is magical, especially if you are a creative type.

[UltraNova]

Dreams is proof why games are considered art.

[wwinterj]

I'll for sure be picking this up. This is the next step for LittleBigPlanet.

[Muzikguy]

I definitely want to play this game. I lost interest in LBP pretty fast. Hopefully that don't happen with this (although not sure when I'd be getting it either)

[darthv72]

I've not been disappointed by anything MM has made and I've certainly been looking forward to this one. All the cool stuff I've seen in vids prob doesnt do it justice. Can't wait to play this myself.

[sprinterboy]

I was worried reviewers would be the opposite with the scores but kudos 😊

[CaptainHenry916]

Another great PS4 exclusive!!!

[gravedigger]

Awesome!

Reminder - there is no review embargo for this game so reviews can come out whenever.

[THC CELL]

Amazing creations and amazing single player worth everyone time

[REDGUM]

It has a single player game within this title too? I didn't know that. Thought it was more of a collaboration of smaller projects/games.
Thankyou, will definitely be giving this a try now.
I'm not creatively minded so i won't be uploading anything but super keen to see what everone else comes up with.

[THC CELL]

Arts dream about 4 hours long a mix between astro bots and other games it shows what a lot what dreams can do. Great little story too

[Neonridr]

Exciting. Can't wait to jump into this. I hope the creative side of my brain can wake up..

[lifeisgamesok]

This game is so impressive

[Relientk77]

Awesome score! Dreams sounds very exciting.

[purple101]

I don't want to make levels, because I'm not arty, &.. would take hours.... but I definitely want to play people's Mario Kart re-creations.

Not to mention Modnation racers-esque stuff.

[fr0sty]

If you want to dabble in creation, you don't have to make entire levels. You can make a street sign if you wanted, then share that with the world and they can use your street sign in their creations. It can be anything from an object, sound, character, or even a costume item to entire levels, games, programmed logic, or movies. They do a great job of making creativity accessible to anyone. I actually made a video game starring a friend of mine that takes place at a music festival we all love to go to each year, just for laughs. It's filled with all kinds of funny references to the festival's experience, such as "underwear guy", the guy who danced around in nothing but the same pair of tighty-whitey underwear all weekend, who is a boss in the game.

[sprinterboy]

I hope talented gamers will get a dreams community together of say 1,000 strong, different parts of the world, different time zones all working day and night making half life 3?.

Thats how I see dreams people coming together from different parts of the world and having dreams dev teams.
I aslo see devs like santa Monica, ND, guerrilla games etc taking on college and university students who want to get into the industry and say here's dreams, show us what you can make in 2 or 3 years (apprenticeships) then take the ones who passed on full time to work on the studios AAA games.
This is the big plan from Sony, it wasn't always about dreams and the consumer/gamer but the bigger future moving fwd as a industry also.

[fr0sty]

Dreams will certainly result in the birth of entire game studios, and I'm sure Sony is going to be keeping a close eye on the best performers of the pack. There's even talk of letting dreamers sell their creations eventually... perhaps they can eventually graduate from dreams into the playstation store somehow.

[lifeisgamesok]

Crash Bandicoot and Sonic too!

[sprinterboy]

Paperboy is what I'm going to work on and skate or die

[rainslacker]

You can use premade assets if you have an idea for a game design. It doesn't have to be epic in scope, but never hurts to dabble. Never know what you may come up with.

[Akarogg]

Make you try my Silent Hills game! Type: Silent Hills Full Game and pick the one with Norman Reedus on the cover.

[CosmicTurtle]

I have played it. It’s very good, well done!

[P_Bomb]

I can barely paint by numbers lol. So every couple clicks I’m finding something that defies logic. The effort, range and fun on display is S!cK.

[Rimeskeem]

8 years of development from one of the most creative developers in PlayStations studios. There is zero way this wont be an absolute beast of a game. To think this is considered the sleeper game of the year for Sony is honestly ridiculous. GoT, Dreams, TLOU2 all in the same end of the year is making my wallet cry.

[iplay1up2]

Uh, not to mention the PS5 is coming. I might get that over Series X now at launch. Either way I am going to spend a ton of money. Thankfully the PS5, and Series X will be backwards compatible at launch!

I am going to see who has the best launch titles. Even though Microsoft is not making "exclusives" for Series X, they are going to have to impress with the capabilities of series X, otherwise why upgrade. PS5 will have exclusives from the start.

[Ratchet75]

I have decided to take 1 year away from work so I could just spend time working on dream and create my own version of jak4.

[MadLad]

Only recently got a Pro, and this is going to be my only day one buy, outside of Last of Us 2.

[Akarogg]

On Pro you can choose between higher framerate or higher resolution in the Dreams settings.

[MadLad]

Good to know. I tend to opt for framerate over resolution. The supersampling tends to do games justice in removing jaggies and the like.

[froy402]

Masterpiece

[S2Killinit]

That good.

[monkey602]

Media Molecule are a class of their own. I can't wait to see what comes of this

[theshredded]

GOTY like I said suckas! Now wake up please and buy the game.

[MadLad]

It's February and there's a fair number of giant releases coming.

[theshredded]

Calling it early just like Death Stranding. It honestly has the highest chance imo unless some Nintendo legendary game like Metroid or Zelda comes out. Remakes won't win, Sucker Punch has never made a banger and Cyberpunk will disappoint a bit since it is quite a departure for the devs. Also The Last of Us 2 will be somewhat divisive and stupid because of wokeness imo. Other games are niche.

[TheEnigma313]

This game is only $40. that's a sweet deal.

[2pacalypsenow]

Not my cup of tea, but glad Sony has another winner.

[Gazondaily]

Looks absolutely brilliant and a must have.

[The Wood]

You're my guy and all that but you don't have enough credit in the bank to have a positive ratio. . Lol

It's looking good though. Not for everyone but the diversity of releases for this year is quite impressive. It'll be interesting to see what players concoct

[Gazondaily]

Haha credit with the people on here is worth nothing. If I have a positive ratio here I'm doing something very wrong.

[froy402]

"What's so refreshing about the game is how positive its community is. Even on the most basic of sculpts, you can find likes and comments supporting and encouraging the creator, and this warm, welcoming attitude can be seen across the board."

Ok, N4g people should be baned from this game 😅 , just joking 😅 but I'm sure the community won't be that positive when the full release comes out. 😅

[MadLad]

YouTube 'N4G in real life'

Video is almost ten years old, and still entirely on point lol

[Gazondaily]

Haha that video is absolutely brilliant. Thanks for sharing 😂

[MadLad]

@septic

Not a problem.
I'll take our random disagrees as I did something proper :)

[Gazondaily]

The random disagrees are evidenced in that video too haha

[FunAndGun]

Congrats, this developer deserves all kinds of praise. Pretty amazing what they have created here.

[criticalkare]

cant wait to see what people make in this game

[Si-Fly]

Amazing feat and game however I worry if this will even do LBP numbers, I’ve had a hard time convincing my friends to pick it up :(

[The_Sage]

Show them some of the amazing levels that have been created. The PT one alone has me excited.

[Thundercat77]

Another Playstation spectacular exclusive game.

This is why Playstation doesn't need a gamepass bin service.

[Gazondaily]

The Playstation Nation everyone 😂

[Mooncake]

Doesn't this guy run a gaming website?
I wonder if that's a good source for unbiased news :|

[l33t_haxx0r]

I really want mouse and keyboard support!!!

[Master of Unlocking]

Heeeeeeeere they coooooooooome! Pull over guys, let 'em through, the convoy of 10s for Media Molecule's latest is coming in full force. Damn, over 10 years later it's gonna be LittleBigPlanet all over again, and I can't afford the game right now 'cause I spent it in omiyage...

[PGRfox]

I'm still unsure of this one but it does intrigue me.

[TheHateTheyGive]

EXCLUSIVE! No console exclusive BS, Just exclusive !!

[hardcorehippiez]

Might be going to pc.

[MadLad]

You should inform the founder, considering he seems to think a future PC release is planned.

[Cmoney007]

Every person that is creative or wants something different should buy this game. I will own this game on Friday.

[Mr_Luke]

Wow, 10/10?! Incredible :O But from what i've seen from the Early Access, it deserves it :D

[Father__Merrin]

this will carry over to ps5 tremendous work MM. cant wait for the bitter reviews "oh its not witcher 3"

[XxSPIDEYxX]

Game of the Year Baby!

[iplay1up2]

As a gamer I have never been into Minecraft. Just not my thing. This looks like something I may not create in game, but would like the limitless creations others come up with.

The reason I haven't picked up either Mario Maker games, is I don't really want to make my own levels, and not really intrigued to see levels others have built, accept online.

Dreams should be much more immersive than Mario Maker, that is a no brainer. Also, Dreams is $39.99 Mario Maker for Switch is $59.00

I will wait a bit to buy Dreams, since I just got a PS4, and PSVR my back catalog is huge. I have picked up all the best PS4 games Everything from God of War to Death Straining. Right now I am bouncing between Uncharted 4, The Last of Us, and Horizon Zero Dawn.

Not very impressed with The Last of Us. I mean compared to the hype. I am enjoying Uncharted 4 and Horizon, much more. God of War is my next game I am going to get into after Uncharted. I am almost finished with it.

[XxSPIDEYxX]

It's literally a game for everyone and that's not something I've ever said before. If you want to make a game, you can do that. If you want to make music, you can. If you want to make art, go for it. Dude I just watched the coolest Dragonball movie yesterday... on Dreams. Or of you're like me and don't have much creativity talent, you can experience the thousands of incredible creations made in this insane game.

[TheHateTheyGive]

Xbox had project spark that was very fun, sad that they killed it off for whatever reason. Ill pick this up down the road.

[medman]

Aptly named game.

[shammgod]

At $40 this is a no brainer. Such an amazing game

[UltimateOwnage]

I’m super excited to play it. Yet another reason why exclusives matter. Sony has really done a lot to enable Media Molecule the time, resources and support to make this a reality, and it looks like it may well will define the final years of the PS4 era and shine as a definitive experience of the generation.

[DafunkyRebel]

My creative juices are flowing

[AK91]

Love to see all that hard work by MM being rewarded can't wait to get my copy.

[Wontime1]

The review makes no mention of psvr.
What's the full extent of what you can do with the psvr in this game

[SolidGamerX]

Another winner for Playstation!

[ibrake4naps]

What do y'all think of the campaign?

[BlaqMagiq1]

Yet another classic dropping on PS4. And there's still Ghost of Tsushima, Nioh 2, and Last of Us Part II. We're getting spoiled before the PS5.

[Chumdiddy]

I only have one Move controller from when I bought my PS3 bundle that came with one. I don't own a PS4 Camera either so I was going to wait a bit before grabbing Dreams but, man, I'll probably just bite that bullet and get it on the official launch.
