Someone Accurately Recreated Red Dead Online In Dreams

Red Dead Online is a game that has improved a lot since it first launched back in late 2018. But it still has some issues. One of the most annoying is how often players get kicked from the game, often randomly with no warning. Someone recreated that experience in Dreams.

Ouch.

It's been an incredibly slow news month. Red Dead and Fall Out have remakes in a Sony "game" that should have been out at PS4's release. Dreams is a concept Sony was known for, even though it seems like a rip of Project Spark.

[Godmars290]

Think you mean Project Spark was a rip of Little Big Planet, of which Dream is the spiritual and literal successor to.

No really, look up LBP2, 3 or even one. See how complex they got.

[lellkay]

"Project Spark" hahahahaahahah

[majiebeast]

Project spark haha dont make me laugh.

[rainslacker]

it's good maybe once every 3-4 years to look at what is coming out on consoles other than Xbox. There's a whole wide world of games you seem to be missing out on.

[RedDevils]

Project Spark? Is that a turd?

[BlaqMagiq1]

That "ripoff" of Project Spark destroys Project Spark in every way sooo...

@Godmars290

Fair enough, but if we go back even further Garry's mod released in 2004,

...and if you want to get even more technical Unreal Engine released on PC in 98.

@Cloud
If you are only referring to PlayStation, then no I'm not missing out on much as I could simply stay on PC to have access to every genre type. Also most Sony "exclusives" are coming to PC and the remaining games aren't enough to buy into the Eco system. I don't think anyone could convince the PC player base to leave PC for Sony's console. But good luck. :)

i know its happens but i can't remember that last time i got kicked from a game.

John wayne?

I wonder if someone recreates a game in dreams that hasn't been release yet but has been show to the public, could the developers sue the developers of Dreams.

[frostypants]

These "re-creations" are generally just small scenes from games, not the entire game, and zero threat to the real thing. People are being a bit dishonest with the use of the term "re-create".

The best stuff in Dreams are the completely original creations people have made. These so-called "re-creations" are interesting, but little more than that. IF someone were to actually copy a game from start to finish it would get taken down.

[DerfDerf]

The plan for a lot of them is to recreate it. They just haven't had the time to get that far. Fact of the matter is the game allows total creative freedom with no way to monetize it so everything is safe. If you could monetize it that would be a different story.

[frostypants]

@shloobian, trust me, if someone re-makes, say, the entirety of Legend of Zelda in Dreams, it will get taken down. Any apparent lack of monetization wouldn't eliminate an IP dispute (and regardless, the claim by the plaintiff would be that MM is monetizing it via access to the content being a selling point for their software...but even without that, there'd be grounds for a claim). MM and Sony won't want to deal with that, I promise.

It's no different than if you went and re-coded your own 1-for-1 copy of Zelda in C and gave it away to people for free (I'm avoiding the whole debate over abandonware here, obviously). That wouldn't be deemed legal. You'd have to change it "just enough".

[drizzom]

Its because it makes for good publicity. "People" recreated FF7 and PT and it got lots of media attention. If anything dreams is a tool used for good publicity at the moment.

[CaptainOmega]

The concept of intellectual property gets muddy. I’d say there is no legal action one can take against someone who say, recreates an entire Halo game minus the voice actors, music.. ect. I’d think of it like Minecraft.

[neutralgamer1992]

They can't do anything. This is modnation racer and LBP all over again. Modnation always had Mario, sonic etc

The only way anyone could have some legal ground is if its being sold. When these creations are free and user created there isn't much

It's like wwe games where people can create stars from other promotions

[P_Bomb]

Could doesn’t mean would or should. If it were worth it to copyright holders, lawyers would be ambulance chasing American Idol auditions and bankrupting buskers into oblivion. But they don’t. Homeless guy on his guitar doesn’t pay for Godfather any more than Slash https://youtu.be/N9pPD9H6sy...

[rainslacker]

Copyright owners can most certainly do something. A cease and desist to Sony would have it taken down pretty quick. Sony isn't going to risk a lawsuit, and since they work with the game industry, they're going to have an interest in protecting publisher interests.

Even if this wasn't the case, content can be taken down if it is infringing on an IP. If you recreate something, and say it's a recreation, you don't have rights to distribute it. Fair use only goes so far, and the simple act of using the name is enough to infringement.

It really comes down to the court to decide, but even if something is changed to some degree for artistic license, it doesn't give free reign for people to copy others, even if all the assets are made by themselves, all coding is done by them, and they make their own spin on it.

Smaller fan recreations aren't likely to get slapped down. Most companies are fine with some fan work. There are a few that are notorious for taking down content regardless of the intent of the creator.

[MrVux000]

Pretty accurate.

[DerfDerf]

I've never once seen that error

[XxSPIDEYxX]

Loving all these Dream articles.

[Donnie81]

Can u make adult themed content in dreams?

[SolidGamerX]

Probably but it will get removed by MM

[rainslacker]

You could make it. Sharing it through the game would probably have you permabanned from PSN. I actually believe it's stated within the TOS specifically.

[Rimeskeem]

Guys, it's a gif, the picture doesn't tell the whole story if you don't actually click the link LUL

[Nintentional]

Heh

[Gamist2dot0]

Why does it walk like a horse?

[Xavi4K]

comeon guys...really?

[MasterCornholio]

There are plenty of people that create original content. You need to accept that.

[lellkay]

Genuinely laughed

[digitalkid]

Please, Sony! Release that Dreams already. Can't stand any more of those BS ads.

[nowitzki2004]

What?

[Thundercat77]

Very talented people out there creating stuff in Dreams.
