This Dreams Creation Is Absolutely Gorgeous And I Hardly Believe It's Real

Shannon Grixti: "Scrolling through my Twitter feed, I came across this pretty looking rain forest, that caught my attention. I watched a few seconds of the video before realising that it was actually a Dreams creation. Everything from the lighting, to the detail in the mud and flora looks more realistic than I’ve seen in any other Dreams creation (and most other games for that matter)."

[ps5fanboy]

looks amazing tbh , staggering , mind boggles what a p5 dreams could create , as this could easily be a top grade rpg if you added the character assets etc.

[fiveby9]

I think Dreams will have some amazing creations in the years to come. Frankly I can see studios reaching out to some of these creators as such work shows a high degree of talent worthy of possible recruitment. Granted for all we know some creations in Dreams may be made by professionals already.

[NewMonday]

thought the guy was trolling until I noticed loop animations and repeat textures.

amazing!

we'll see how this progresses. for the most part I can tell there will be a high volume of demos and level content produced from this. as we see currently. User created content is always difficult. eventually most hit the same road blocks. and it's that very same logic why not many users are able to bridge story content seamlessly, compared to level content. script writing requires identical input, seamless, especially when finishing a script. apposed to having hundreds of disjointed narratives.

- for future reference. my two cents.

[silenthillstrangler]

Already happened, reports not long after it released of job offers because of people's creations.

[Games1st]

A studio has already hired a dreams creator. A professional has tried dreams and states that there are limitations, PS5 will go beyond this.

[fr0sty]

Here's how they did some of it:

[TheKingKratos]

This is one of the best examples that it's not just the hardware power that push for incredible graphics but the hard work/skill/talent that a developer put in their games

I am in awe

[GTgamer]

Mannnnnnnn wait til this game gets multiplayer and multiple creators come together to make games its gonna get nuts.

[fr0sty]

You kind of can already, you can leave your creations editable by other creators.

[GTgamer]

@frosty that's cool too but ain't nothing better than having everyone present at the same.

[Felix_Argyle_Catbro]

I say it again: Dreams should be on every platform capable of running it. It's a shame it's only on PS4.

[purple101]

Sort of get you.. But with 100 million ps4s. Its the best place to be..

Plus, if any creator really really, wanted to make a game... they could just buy one (a ps4) pretty cheap and get on with dreams...

[SublimeStylee2]

All that with only 4.2 TFLOPS on Pro lmao, Ps5 will simply be unreal!

[telekineticmantis]

Echo_
Agreed

[neutralgamer1992]

I think it will get a huge push on pa5. Sony let MM reboot 4 times they aren't letting this go to other platforms this quickly. If this does come to PC it will be a year or so after it comes to ps5

I don't know what's so hard to understand: PSN generated more revenue than both Microsoft's gaming division & Nintendo as a whole

Hardware sales are more important to Sony because it means more gamers will subscribe to psn. This is where Ms failed they have made their own hardware not a necessity to play Xbox games

Just because horizon is coming to PC some 3 years after launching on PS4 doesn't mean a lot of exclusive will come to PC especially so soon after launching

[fr0sty]

Just goes to show that raw teraflop numbers are not representative of actual in-game power.

Nothing is stopping Xbox, Nintendo, or PC developers from making their own version of this. Microsoft tried once to make a PCS (play, create, share, the genre media molecule invented) game, but it didn't take off.

[Jin_Sakai]

“Dreams should be on every platform capable of running it. It's a shame it's only on PS4.”

Who’s to say the game would even e it’s if not for Sony and PS4? If you want to play the game get a PS4 and support both companies that made the game a reality.

[nyu1]

A tool like this would be so much better on PC. Hopefully they don't bother about sony fanboys or PCMR jerks and just release it on PC.

Hardcore PC gaming will never replace consoles like PS so I don't get the problem either way.

[Thatsbadcandy]

@NYu1

Why should this 1 particular creator console game be on PC, when the open platform already has a plethora of creation tools, not including games, etc?

[AnubisG]

I know right? How dare Playstation have any exclusives at all?/s

[Tetsdah]

As many have mentioned, I doubt the game would have existed if not for Sony. This game has been in development for numerous years. Who back then would have allowed it aside Sony, and stuck it out and waited for this to blossom?

Now it coming to PC is a possible next step, since it has been rumored by credible sources and going by Sony's new strategy of leaning into pc for certain titles. If the game get MnK support, it might be a lock.

I'm disappointed that the game did not accumulate large commercial success despite the install base, but it appears to not have mass market appeal due to its insane creative ceiling and barrier of entry.

[nyu1]

Yep, imagine what people would do with this on PC.

It would be a service to games and gamedev as a whole if they release on PC. It already is on PS4, but tools like this on PC = gg.

[MrVux000]

''It's a shame it's only on PS4.''

Why? Since when is it a shame to focus on your core audience and only on your main platform, which by default can bring greater quality and profits?

[kungfuian]

It should come preloaded on every ps4 and be integrated as part of the os in a new create section. Money lost on sales would be offset by positive pr for the PS platform, it should be promoted as a community create share feature like home (but more fun and game based). Maybe have a few official Sony first party devs make small bite sized content here and there, Art jams, game jams for upcoming games, etc.

[P_Bomb]

The LBP games never sold huge upfront but they all had legs and sold a few million each lifetime. If...for whatever reason Dreams does not have LBP’s legs...I would recommend they bundle the app with every PS5. Make it a platform on there, like what Home was on PS3. Not to mention, everyone gets access to an instant games collection day one.

[GTgamer]

Yep definitely a shame that Sony allowed them to spend almost the entire generation making this fantastic game that definitely wouldn't of existed without sony how dare sony make sure its only on their platform 😂😂😂
28514;😂. But hey https://youtu.be/KpXsfimrkF...

[P_Bomb]

My take on the PC proposals:

Sony picked the wrong ambassador. HZD going to PC was pointless imho after 10 million sold. Does nothing to enhance the Playstation brand really. Dreams on the other hand...would’ve actually stood to benefit the most. For all parties.

For one, MM could legit use the money and install base after 6 years of development. Pretty sure Guerilla Games made their money already. Plus it’s a very unique opportunity to take some of Minecraft’s 100 million audience who never got the super duper graphics pack and are probably ready for a fresh coat of paint. Aesthetically and creatively.

In short, imo Sony got their wires crossed on their first party experiment. Dreams has some great proof of concepts. Sony could license this to other platforms and have another brand. Crossplay, DLC, all that. It’s a living mod. Hell team up with Nintendo and Xbox and put the copyright police to bed. HZD won’t move the needle like that.

[bouzebbal]

Funny no one said this about project spark??
Good thing dreams is making non ps4owners like you jealous 😉

[Zhipp]

Project spark was already on PC iirc, so that doesn't do much for your case.

[purple101]

That is ridiculous

[roadkillers]

If I didnt know better, this was someone go proing.

[FPSRUSSIA]

Glad i bought dreams what a Great Game its crazy what people can make.

[Imalwaysright]

The atmosphere is on point as well.

[moomoo319]

100% the sounds and everything

[S2Killinit]

Its nice but i prefer showcasing games.

[Dodo5337]

That looks beautiful. Should be on PC soon. Creators with mouse and keyboard easier to use and mod support.

PC soon Media Molecule everyone saying will be better on PC with these type of games/tool.

[ShadowWolf712]

The game already has "mod support" in that you can create and import your own assets.

[Elda]

Maybe in 3 years.

[4kgk76]

Elda@ or 5 years or never who knows.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

PC PC PC....PC. You forgot to mention PC. I been gaming for a long time, and I don't remember any period where port begging and exclusives were such a talking point. Traditionally it's been the master race talking down to the console market as a whole. Now all of a sudden I keep seeing more and more soap boxes for PlayStation games on PC. Funny.

[ufo8mycat]

Because they actually want good games on their system, rather then the shovelware they get lol

[Smitty2020]

Amazing

[sprinterboy]

Really enjoying dreams but as usual shocked at the trophy percentages which I find worrying.
Only 21% have finished arts dream, only 1.8% have followed someone (like really)

[theshredded]

Great more tech demos from blockheaded idiots.

[The_Sage]

Great... More comments from block headed idiots.

[MrVux000]

And these creations will only get better as we move forward in time.

[Elda]

I've been so busy playing other games & the newly released Doom:Eternal including betas I've haven't really gotten into my copy of Dreams,with my time off I'm going to start playing Dreams to see all these great concepts folks have been coming up with.

[The_Sage]

It's probably good that you're finishing your other games first. Once I started Dreams, I have not played anything since. There is so much content. Be sure to check out Taken by the Rust parts 1 and 2. Fantastic.

[leejohnson222]

On an under powered PS4 surely not, it doesn't have enough terra flip flops

[The_Sage]

It looks like people aren't getting the joke.

[Chumdiddy]

WOW. Of all of them this has to be the most realistic. That's even a bit beyond what I assumed could be made and I had very lofty assumptions.

[rolando123]

Wtf

[DerfDerf]

Looks pretty good from a distance. Looks just okay up close due to the limitations of the dreams engine. People keep posting these things and honestly none of them really look great by today's standards ( or last gens standards)

[mandf]

Let's see some examples of anything on console that looks even remotely close. I'll be waiting

[Spicyram]

"People keep posting these things and honestly none of them really look great by today's standards ( or last gens standards)"

That is complete rubbish, but keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep better.

[P_Bomb]

Holy #%^*^%#%*!!!

HOW?!

[TheCaptainKuchiki]

OMG, the textures might not be as crisp as the best games but the rendering... There's something to it that makes this look FAR more realistic than most open world game (like Far Cry) who don't actually look photorealistic.

[Father__Merrin]

Can't wait for Ps5 dreams, I've been searching high and low to find something as good as this on indiegala, fanatical or humblebundle

[DaleCooper]

Wow! Once the VR update comes out, I'll be buying Dreams.

[ApocalypseShadow]

Same. Waiting for the VR update.

[Npugz7]

Are you kidding? That’s sooooo fake!

[The_Sage]

You're in denial. Buy the game and find out. It's only $40. Once you do you should post a vid of you eating crow.

[MasterCornholio]

Maybe he can make a video in dreams where he eats crow.

:P

[The_Sage]

Lmao

[daBUSHwhaka]

Simply stunning

[-Gespenst-]

Very impressive visually, but 1. how hard is it to make something like this in Dreams? and 2. how resource intensive is something like this on a PS4? Could you make an actual game out of this, or would it have to be a bare bones walking simulator only? Genuinely curious.

[ApocalypseShadow]

I didn't disagree.

But if the game can't be rendered fast enough to move, I would turn it into an awesome turned based RPG like old school phantasy star, final fantasy, etc. Move around an overhead map normally. Then when the battles happen, it shows graphics like this. Examples

Overhead map
https://lh3.googleuserconte...

Overhead town(this is PS3 pic)
https://www.spaziogames.it/...
Just make the towns look just as realistic as the 3D above, and in battle, it's similar to this
https://lh3.googleuserconte...
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rW50...

It would be the best looking turned based RPG ever made. And doing it this way, those intense graphics won't have to be pushed As much.

As you can tell, I love the Phantasy Star series.

[Platinum_k]

Thats some next level gen graphics right there

[FlavorLav01]

Oh, mylanta 😧 this is badass

[josh-eh]

Omg this looks sooo good!!!

[Whitey2k]

If i was the creator and a standalone developer I would have this as project Blair witch

[ibrake4naps]

Just wish I had his free time. I'm glad when I get 30 minutes to an hour with my games.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

what..........

[Kakashi Hatake]

No way! That looks next gen, there's no way this is Dreams...

[leejohnson222]

Can't be true on such an under powered console, must be fake everyone knows power is the most important factor

[SaveFerris]

There are some seriously talented artists out there. Great stuff.

[darklaw]

must take a lot of processing power as the demo is pretty short.

[ginsunuva]

Meanwhile I try to make a hollow cube and fail
