You've probably heard that Tearaway started life on the PS Vita as an exclusive title to the console before being remade for the PS4. When Sony and Media Molecule announced Tearaway Unfolded for the PS4 we all shook our heads and sighed as it was yet another sign the PS Vita wasn't a viable platform for publishers to make a profit on, and that the remake was coming around as a way to claw back some of the development costs.
Turns out we were wrong. According to Media Molecule, Tearaway Unfolded was initially just the team messing around to see if it could be done.
TSA writes: "If there's one thing we know and love Media Molecule for, it's pushing creativity and experimentation within its game design."
A job listing published by the UK studio reveals that its next project will be another entirely new IP.
Dayum did I hit a nerve. Sorry for not liking most of this gens games coming from PS, not really doe.
Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.
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.
Tearaway would have worked better for me as an open world RPG style game. Something more akin to Animal Crossing. My issue with the way it is now is that there's little incentive to go back after completing it. But what if you could have Iota craft a house and have other activities for him to do, it would have held my attention longer.
