Fan Makes a Sonic Game in Dreams Called "Sonic: Wild Blur"

Just last month, we posted a fan-made horror game created using Media Molecule’s Dreams.

Mind blowing!!! Imagine all the incredible Mario games we would have if Nintendo wasn't so overprotective of their IPs

[septemberindecember]

I wouldn't say it is mind blowing. It's really cool what people can make in Dreams, but this Sonic game is clearly a work in progress and looks very unfinished.

[SegaGamer]

Basically like the many other fan made Sonic projects over the years. 99.9% of them go nowhere.

[GamerRN]

I think this will be shut down soon

[oakshin]

Sega don't care sonic is on the "white list" sonic even has it's on section when you search for games on dreams

[GamerRN]

Until something gets too popular... Not sure where this imaginary white list is, but every developer will protect against loss of sales

[DarXyde]

Ever heard of Sonic Mania?

[Chaos_Order]

Sega have LITERALLY SUPPORTED fan games and taken potshots at Nintendo for their stance.

I think this is one of the reasons why Sonic could never reach the height of Mario. Sega is just being too carefree with Sonic, and the quality of the games suffer (The only great Sonic game we had in years was Sonic Mania).

[Chaos_Order]

*Says Sonic games fail because they don't shut down fangames*
*Praises Sonic Mania, a literal fangame*

I'm sorry, what?

[GamerRN]

I'll explain it to you Chaos since you didn't get it...

You see, over saturation is one part of it. When you have a lot of low quality products out there representing your brand, not all people can differentiate what is actually part of your actual catalog. You'd think that the average person can understand, but the average person is actually quite stupid.

Tarnishing a brand is another problem. As bad games are made using the IP, it starts to tarnish the brand name as quality is no longer associated with the product.

They also run the risk of people actually doing it better then them, which can also hurt the product.

Protecting an IP is important for quality, reputation, and overall maintaining of a property. You have to take care of something otherwise you'll destroy it...

yeah, how dare nintendo to not let people create pirate copies of Mario, for Play Station. shame on them.

if they want to make a Mario game, they are legal ways to do so, just look what Ubisoft did with Mario + Rabbids, they present the concept and they like it. if not just do your own dang thing!

is Nintendo overprotective? yes, and a lot but don't act like if they were in the wrong

Mario is one if not the biggest video game IPs there is, if they don't protect it anyone could easily made a pirate game profit from it, even if it is a free fan game, there nothing stopping someone else from taking it and selling it. the casual public wouldn't know o care, they i'll see Mario and buy it.

[Si-Fly]

It’s not mind blowing, it looks just as shit as any other 3D Sonic game.

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

Wow, this looks crazy good!

[Si-Fly]

Does it?

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

Yes, it does.

[solideagle]

I think this game should have been released on PC rather than Horizon.

[ocelot07]

It may do in a few years.

[Rebel_Scum]

Ewwww, 3D Sonic...no thanks

[dangerousbrian0]

The reason people sort of get away with Sonic is because Sega is a Third Party developer so Sonic is going to be on multiple platforms anyway. Mario & Nintendo are not a Third Party devolper so people can not get away with it. If it was a fan made game for a nintendo console & no people were profiting from it alone or Nintendo was giving part of the profit from it to the people that made it I dont think there would be an issue even though people would get done for hacking the systems to develop the game in the first place.

Imagine what they can do when Dreams supports PS5 hardware. if THIS is the creative output we are getting right now, imagine what can happen with stronger hardware and time. Dreams is super exciting to watch. What the player base is coming up with is awesome.

[roadkillers]

Dreams has been a huge tech demo. Honestly, very few good products created with the tools thus far. Kind of PS4s version of roblox

[TommyVercetti88]

Looks crappy.
