![]() ![]() Even Media Molecule referred to its broader ecosystem as the Dreamiverse, so there was at least some self-awareness from the developers there.ĭespite that, Sony never publicly positioned Dreams as its big metaverse live service or demanded that it get PlayStation Home-like social spaces that could’ve elevated it in that space. Dreams provided an expansive suite of tools that might have even been a bit better than some of its metaverse competitors boasting about their technology. The term metaverse can be a pretty buzzword and is often associated with more nefarious business practices, but I can’t deny that a user-generated content backbone is part of what makes titles like Fortnite successful. At its core, that means it needs good tools to make user-generated content, which is something Dreams excelled at That’s the idea of a big social space that players can not only hang out in but create content for. While AI is getting more attention now, the “metaverse” was gaming’s big golden goose for a few years. That’s a shame, as some of the ideas at the core of Dreams became quite trendy in the years after its release. I imagine a lot of players checked out Media Molecule’s creations, played a few user-made ones and then never gave the game a second thought. It was first teased at the PS4’s reveal event but didn’t feel like it launched too much fanfare when it finally came out seven years later in 2020. ![]() An almost-metaverseĭespite Media Molecule making a very ambitious product over the course of a decade, a lack of compelling promotion pre-and-post launch hurt Dreams from the start. Sony’s failure to focus on the areas where Dreams could be more successful ultimately doomed it to this fate, potentially robbing PlayStation of an excellent live service experience that it seems to want now more than ever. I saw great potential in Dreams ahead of its release as a powerful tool Sony could use as a fun gaming hub and a potential game engine that could power future indie games. ![]() Still, I was quite impressed with some of the more ambitious games I came across and the more comedic creations. ![]() Alongside the announcement, a new trailer has been released, giving us a deeper look at the title’s combat and gameplay systems.I didn’t play Dreams a lot, only briefly engaging with the free trial around the time it became available.
