Dreams - Bear Dream (PS4)

During todays livestream on Twitch, Media Molecule teased us with a full on Dream video made by one of the artist. The Dream had meaning as it was made for the Media Molecule dev's daughter.

[GribbleGrunger]

This is absolutely incredible.

[MehmetAlperTR]

Exactly it look's nice.. I loved LBP series. Wait for this one also :)

[bouzebbal]

looks.....weird!
I have no idea what this is about, but i trust Mm on this one after all the masterpieces they have been delivering since LBP1

[MazzingerZ]

This could be the PSVR launch game that's why they cannot show more mechanics as that would give away the "secret" behind it.

Probably on monday we will finally see it in action.

[AgentSmithPS4]

I like how people will be able to use it to create things that change people's minds. Without having a lot of technical stuff holding them back.

[pivotplease]

Not sure how the gameplay comes into it but this new platform looks capable of making and playing games like Flower and Journey. Incredible.

[-Foxtrot]

Looks really touching

[quaneylfc]

Then take your hands out of your pants and watch properly.

[mafiahajeri]

Waiting for the eventual Wet dream

[Ra3030]

Not sure what any of that was but its looked really cool. I thought the big bear had died for a second which would have been really sad for the feels and a really bad freaking "dream" glad that was not the case. The game looks like it'll be really amazing I'm looking forward to this one.

[Concertoine]

Am i the only one who thought this was existential as hell? Dreams is trippy af.

I hope we can make "I'm screwing a celebrity" dreams or night terror sims.

[DarXyde]

I only wish it could support PlayStation VR. If so, imagine how surreal it would be to lie down and watch a series of dreams on a playlist.

It'd either be a blissful nirvana or, if your inquiries are any indication, the definitive way to induce night terrors.

Part of me really believes we'll see this remade at some point.

@DarXyde

I've always imagined Dreams as a tool for horrific and surreal imagery more than anything, and NOW i remember why! Screw that weird ass scene!

[abstractel]

They are pushing the PS4 so far with this technology. I really doubt they can get SDF's up to 60fps at this fidelity. Maybe if they had two different resource fillers (like the one LBP had and that they confirmed Dreams will have), one for VR and one for non-VR. But the dreams would be fill up the resource meter way, way faster for VR.

But hey, I'd like to dream it's possible. What they've done with SDF's (signed distance fields) on the PS4 is pretty amazing.

[TwoForce]

It's so calm and beautiful. I like it.

[triple_c]

This looks like a pixar movie. I can't believe that this is actually in game. Those graphics are incredible.

[freshslicepizza]

visually impressive but i am still confused how this is a game. i do think they should have had dark side of the moon playing in the background.

[subtenko]

You dont need to be a expert at all....it is pick up and play and requires no skill to create dreams, GAMES, and music.

It requires even less skill to select someone elses already created dreams, games, and music to play.

Simply select something you wish to play in-game, and click!

The game is also WIP and is constantly evolving. You havent seen anything yet ;)

[abstractel]

They've already said you can create both games with logic and just dreams/experiences.

This is an example of a surreal dream someone created.

[XanderZane]

Don't know if it's actually gameplay or just the opening for one of the dreams. Graphics are good, but doesn't look like a Pixar movie. I'm not blown away by them, but they are nice. Music was nice as well. Would love to see how you actually play this game. Guess we'll find out at the PSX.

[Germany7]

Beautiful, will be great to play amazing creations like this.

[Christopher]

It looks... I'm not sure. It kinda creeps me out and kinda doesn't.

But, my question is if there's any gameplay here or is what's being shown pretty much just tools for making videos?

[Germany7]

Good question, but i guess it will be possible to "play" the dreams, basing on Media Molecule titles like LittleBigPlanet and Tearaway, also what gamers are expecting after the E3 announcement.
We will finally know in Paris, soon.

[Eonjay]

The animation tool is basically the only thing we have see so far. There is a logic tool set as well used for making games.

[THC CELL]

Brought a tear to the eye.

[Fez]

Which part? The part with the floating pyramid?
Yeah, I'm getting all teary eyed just thinking about it *fans eyes*

Soft Piano + Polar Bear != Emotional, Touching, Beautiful or any other superlative people are spouting in here. Sorry, but this dream has no context to evoke these feelings in me.

I hate to be negative with such an interesting idea from Media Molecule, but people need to take a step back and think about how fun this game will be and if it will be good enough for you to spend lots of time on. I reckon most of you will move swiftly on to the next action title.

I am very skeptical of this game until MM shows more and proves to me that Dreams can provide lasting entertainment.

[TheOneWhoIsTornApart]

I am so excited for this. I have always wanted to try and create art but don't have the fine motor skills needed to do so but this game looks like it will have the tools for people like me to be creative. From what the developers have been saying it seems to be a really intuitive program too which is very helpful. I can't wait to see what highly skilled players come up with as well. Paris Games Week will be awesome.

[Dee_Blessed]

Very true, most are use to the traditional games, but this is not traditional at all, it's new, creative, innovative, and refreshing. It required an appreciation of art. Again, similar to little big Planet (where Mario maker and minecraft clearly got inspiration) Dreams will be in its own league. And later be mimiced.

[jay2]

Now if you could show me the game play side 9f things that'd be cool actually making that I'm excited fir this but I want to see what I'll be doing

[nX]

The game's release is far away, you will get plenty gameplay until then.

[subtenko]

That was shown a little bit in the "over 20 dreams revealed" video. There was a skydiving game and possible a few other games if those werent dreams, but the skydiving bit was a game.

Theres also an unseen snowboarding game.

[dennigo]

What exactly brought tears to your eyes? the music i suppose cuz that was the only touching thing everything else is just quite random

[Dee_Blessed]

You don't know art

[KOIMOJO]

And you do? Please... This looks like a very basic student project from an animation class. As a player of games and a lover of playstation, MM doesn't have much longer to show me something impressive until they are totally off my radar.

They claim people can just pick this, whatever it is, up and create their dreams and at this point i'm calling BS. It isn't and has never been that easy to create any sort of digital art without the process being streamlined to the point of having no freedom. Either "Dreams" won't allow you to make very unique things and it will all come out looking like terrible stop motion or it will be utterly complicated and skill based.

I hope they prove me wrong but I don't see what everyone is fawning over.

[assdan]

I just need to know what this is though.

[nix]

This game.. I dunno what great things we'll see come out of it.

[quaneylfc]

Someone tell me when it becomes an actual video game?

[TriangleOffense]

Easy pass for me

[alti]

I am so confused.

[corroios]

This is a real next gen game. Very impressive.

[KOIMOJO]

What exactly is impressive?

[Vasto]

/yawn

Hope there is more to the game then this.

[spicelicka]

beautiful stuff, hope to see some gameplay now.

[ZorinInc]

Watch the Twitch stream. The uploader has recorded the sound wrong. The music is not suppose to cut out. The biggest piece of information is also missing.

THE ARTIST MADE THIS IN ONE DAY.

[WickedLester]

So basically this is just an advanced form of Mario Paint? If so, color me extremely disappointed! I was a huge fan of the Little Big Planet series and I enjoyed Tearaway on Vita. However Media Molecule has completely lost me on this one!

[ZorinInc]

No. Everyone here is completely ignorant and in the dark and should wait before making assumptions. The gameplay will all be revealed at the Paris event. If you watch the stream he lets slip the one artist made a snowboarding level that you can play.

[Relientk77]

The polar bears look like theyre made from cotton balls

[Elda]

What type of gameplay is this game going to be or is this a visual artist simulator?..if so I'll definitely pass.

[WickedLester]

Meh, I don't think this artsy fartsy "game" is for me (if this is in fact a game. It looks like a bunch of user-created cinematics to me).

[FoxyGotGame]

"Artsy Fartsy", Not for you? ....

Then kindly exit the way you came in, real gamer's are having a discussion /

OT

Looks Magical ...the kind of game I would love to wake up to on Xmas morning. Media Molecule are in a league few others can follow.

[KOIMOJO]

Okay "real gamer" if you haven't realized, a lot of developers have gone way too far up their own asses with "Artsy Fartsy" games. Games that focus too much on the artistic vision lose what I would think is equally important which is design.

Coming from an artist, what I am seeing here looks completely unappealing because it is all art. There is nothing here that looks compelling as a consumer. A games unique art makes us feel like being in a world and overall sets your mood. But there must be things to do and interact with. The select few including me might be able to create something cool with he tools but most don't want to create they want to interact. And I would rather use other mediums to create.

There is no need to shit on people for being scared of an overly artistic project.

[SuperbVillain]

no killstreaks?

[masterfox]

I was waiting for a damn coca cola bottle to pop out lol

[Relientk77]

This wasn't being shown before a movie though

[mark_parch]

can somebody please explain wtf that was all about

[ZorinInc]

All be explained on Tuesday. Most people here will be eating their words.

[KOIMOJO]

I love when internet wizards seem to have all the wisdom.

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

Not enough guns for the people that are saying "pass" before they even see much about this game. You can make what ever you want, you can make your dream be a shooter.

[NeoGamer232]

I think the issue people are having is that we have yet to see anything called "gameplay".

So, far it looks like Dreams is just a way to create movies. And if that is all this is, then it really shouldn't be called a "game". It should be labelled a "creative studio app".

I have absolutely nothing against this and love the concept, but so far I haven't seen anything that is a "game" yet. Nobody would call Photoshop, Unity, Maya and Illustrator a "game". So, why as soon as Sony makes something like that is it called a game?

From what I have seen, this is this is not a "game". This is a "movie creator".

[ZorinInc]

Media Molecule explicitly says its not a movie creator but you're too lazy or stupid to do any research where this video was taken from.

[Elda]

Until gameplay is shown..I agree.

[NeoGamer232]

@sparced
Please send me the link where they have shown "gameplay".

I don't care what they say, until they show gameplay there is no game.

I don't trust any marketing. I wanna see the real thing.

[subtenko]

You could create guns in a game in dreams if you really wanted to. There was a tank made

[AgentSmithPS4]

Phew I thought the illuminati was going to wipe us out because climate change killed the polar bear.

[Ryuk_2007]

This looks mediocre as hell. Like a ps1 fmv video running at 15fps.

[dafegamer]

this is prototype of the first dream created animation
Want gameplay? Wait for paris games week

[iNFAMOUZ1]

hey arent those the coca cola bears dreaming of ark lol

[ibrake4naps]

Wow, this is really nice for user created content!

[andibandit]

What is it?

[maniacmayhem]

Doesn't really look like much.

[Delicious]

I have seen this polar bear before in a certain psone classic...Crash Bandicoot. Maybe this is the big big surprise or the other secret they are keeping in their back pocket. If Media Molecule made a new Crash Bandicoot it would be a Dream come true.

[jznrpg]

Cant wait for this , this will get my 6yr old off of minecraft for good.

[Big_Game_Hunters]

Sucks to see that one of my favorite devs stoped making games and are making a short movie creater now. I'll wait to see if there is any actual "game" in this. But so far, as a huge fan of MM i'm very disappointed.

[user6666047]

Looks cool but God this is gonna bomb so hard.

[theXtReMe1]

Am I the only one who feels the need to hit some LSD after watching this? Cant imagine what people will come up with on their own, especially those who are stoned. LoL

[brando008]

That was one of the most beautiful videos I've ever witness. dreams shows so much promise!
