Media Molecule's Dreams won't just be a creation tool, but also a proper story led game, according to Alex Evans.
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.
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.
Media Molecule Creative Director John Beech talks about making a very personal project in Dreams, available with PlayStation Plus.
I feel at this point the "mystery" marketing for this game has worn thin. It's gone from Mild interest in a gimmick to thinking if they have anything worth showing, they'd have shown it.
I'm waiting to be wowed, but I'm definitely more skeptical than I was at last year's E3.
Looks intruiging
This industry needs more devs like Media Molecule that bring new ideas to gaming in form of creativity and art. I think this will make a bigger impact than Little Big Planet did.
This game underrated by the loud minority. No wonder they are out of touch of the trends.
Dreams is gonna smash. I feel it. Think of this as a playlist of everything. Like a youtube of sort with games, films etc. As long as the Dream within a dream kind of engine helps creators or dreamers to create faster and better, the community will grow. I could actually see things like Dreams Grammy,VGAs, Oscars as an E-Sports for this kind. Tbh, this Dreams could actually be that PS4 or PSVR's killer app.
I wonder if there'll be other visual art styles other than the clay looking characters. I think I remember them saying so in one of their interviews, but not sure. I also wonder if you can do 2D platforming like Little Big Planet
