Someone at Mm needs to leak the source code for the greater good lmao

[@poxy1000]

please god someone do this. I needed this on PC. I can't deal with blender.

[@bigmofogaming]

I don't think all the great creators are gone, I just think, there is no pressure to thrash out games anymore and burn out anymore. I do know this is how I feel I still have 3 4 projects on but doing them with no stress and hopefully the outcome will be better.

[@UglySofaGaming]

And that's cool for the creators left. Might make another tiny game myself in another 9 months or so if I get the itch. But that doesn't lead to very engaging game platform numbers will inevitably dwindle even more now I think. It doesn't get much lower without being stoned dead. December my game was the 3rd most liked with something like 300 likes and 1000 plays. Getting tight

[@bigmofogaming]

@@UglySofaGaming yea very true the numbers will dwindle an die but I still think 🤔 it will always be a place people will always go back to experiment and test ideas. It will always be a place to dabble with art 🎨. I will always appreciate dreams for the creative talent I made friends from an opened some doors in real life I mean what other game could I get a master artist like Martin neblong to lend me his scene for my Legos 🤣🤣

[@KyleKantner-c2v]

So insane and sad. They could easily release these as digital only games to keep the cost of distribution down, as well as just have the community or content creators market the game. Sucks hearing this as im really wanting to learn to create on here and wouldve loved pc support😢

[@FTWSamFisher]

Dreams on PC would be amazing. It would be the most accessible engine for beginners and us who have used it could use our better PCs for these builds

[@CHROME-COLOSSUS]

I was in contact with someone about a year ago who seemed to be in a position to know (not a dev, but someone with close ties), who assured me on the down-low that *PSVR2* support was in fact being worked on as well. Since I only game or create games in VR, this was incredibly heartening to learn. While the recent news/rumor certainly stings, it’s very interesting to hear. It aligns with what I’d already been told, since nobody at Mm would’ve been working on PSVR2 support if the PS5 version weren’t already well underway or even completed (I didn’t know about the PC version though). I continue to hope we one day see a documentary or exposé about wtf happened to DREAMS… why core features critical to the success of any game engine were never implemented, why it was never smartly advertised, why tutorials weren’t added to it, and who and why was the plug pulled just at the cusp of what could have been an extraordinary re-launching on the PS5 (and maybe PC). 💔

[@hewdyer332]

Don’t kill dreams Sony!! 😞

[@Radio_R_official]

Too late

[@BB2Hunter-c9t]

Dreams is such a important game for PlayStation. i dont know why sony take its hits for granted.

[@chucklefun487]

Dreams on pc and ps5 would be really great if this is true Sony should let it happen

[@DEAM0NIK]

This game was handled so poorly by Sony, we’ve seen them handled things like this before and it’s no surprise it failed!

[@turb0717]

Dreams deserved some more respect from PlayStation the first time i ever heard about dreams i loved it. It helped bring everyone's ideas to light and finding out that they probably have a finished version for ps5 and pc that just drives the nail in deeper. hopefully PlayStation decides to release dreams for ps5 at least for the pc it just makes no sense to just not release a finished version of a game and just let it sit there to collect dust.

[@youssefzakaria1105]

I hate Jim rayen

[@MurakumoVance]

As a PC gamer, I have ALWAYS been super pissed off that Dreams has been a PlayStation exclusive. I cannot stress the the obvious enough..... PC-MASTER-RACE! Skyrim is still alive today. Why? Because the PC is DEFINITIVELY better by a massive margin. There's only so much the devs can do with an IP. But a motivated community can keep a game alive for a life time! Nevermind the fact that the BEST creations on Dreams (as of today,) would've been NOTHING compared to what could've been done on PC. I'm incredibly disappointed because I've wanted something like Dreams since Halo 3 Forge! It's so stupid to me that there's not already a game, or an app, that allows your friends to cooperatively MAKE games, maps, or characters. Why isn't the demand higher? I hope that one of the devs does the responsible thing and "accidentally" leaks the PC port online so that way the community can sink their teeth into it, and further it's development.

[@yukiruu00]

one can dream man this game would've had a long life on pc

[@dmaxwell910901]

Even as a primarily PC gamer myself, saying "PC Masterrace" unironically is pretty cringe-worthy.

[@cardinalprism171]

if it came out on pc it would top steam charts, but sony would rather release single player games that already outstayed their welcome (looking at the re-re-remaster of the last of us).

[@lordiari7110]

Quite right! Agree.

[@JuntaTheHero]

it deserves to be released, not just from the hard work of the devs, but the ability to create in such a fashion is invaluable! Long live Dreams.

[@loneryouth]

I will forever hold that decision against Sony.

[@MidnightWolfSDJ]

If this news is accurate, then the only logical explanation I can think of is because of all the copyright games people were making. Makes me think they were told to shut it down or at the very least, stop development due to lawsuit possibilities. There is no possible way they gave up on it before giving it a chance with more power of Ps5 and Multiplayer. I feel like multiplayer alone would have saved the game.

[@ApolloOfTheSun7]

It's sad how strong games like this just don't get past the console phase and just end up dying out with a whimper. Feels like PlayStation likes loosing money also likes to spite pc players.

[@DreamswithLadylexUK]

You commented on one of my videos recently and it somehow got filtered into the "possibly inappropriate" section. I approved the message but it disappeared. So in answer to your query: Dreams is remaining stable at 350 releases a week, with around 12 - 16 MMpick style releases every month. The majority of releases however are based on established titles like Five Nights At Freddys, COD Zombies, and meme recreation. I get the impression that the average age of Dreamers has dropped substantially, as most of the 30 and 40 somethings that were the predominant original artists have left to create on other platforms. The summer is always a low point for Dreams releases traditionally so I am hoping more interesting releases nearer the end of the year - especially in the horror category. The musicians have appeared to have all left. There are some interesting creations coming out still by the likes of Tapio_X, Freako-rama, TinyDiorama (under his new name) and some new names who have picked up Dreams in the last 2 years. But finding them amongst the Freddy shorts is a bit time consuming. But hey what else have I got to do !!!

[@UglySofaGaming]

Hi Lex, thanks for taking the time to reply I appreciate the overview. I've not had my eye on things for a few months, last I looked the number of MM Pick quality creations seemed lower so I'm hoping things have picked up a little. I do miss how it used to be terribly. People are plodding on but it does feel the heart & soul was stepped on

[@samaron8970]

Playstation cancelling dreams almost makes me relieved that Microsoft owns the Spyro IP now, better them than the bumbling idiots who didn't realise they had gold.

[@bamban_garcia5562]

Microsoft were literally the ones brought in micro transactions into the video game industry as part of their box live marketplace initiative "additional source of revenue" as far back as 2004 No idea why you think said company spending over $80 billion to take away entire multiplatform publishers as well as studios alongside all their properties should make you happy over SIE cancelling their own project

[@coslmaoo]

Thinking back on it, playstation could have done a lot with title partnerships in DLC. New games by official IPs for the platform, a first person story mode, much more. Dreams was more than viable for a stable profit and media molecule let it run it's course with not a lot to explore for the mainstream.

[@isaacdayton4962]

Microsoft is just as bad in this regard. Nintendo is this bad as well

[@WolieIsHot]

If true this was an incredibly stupid move on Sony's part, the pc player base has a milion times more people who would want something like Dreams because pc users usually use their pc as a work station as well and are generally far more interested in game dev seeing as almost all games are made with a pc. Console users generally arent interested in something like this unless it comes attached to an actual game like Halo, Forza, or Little Big Planet as is made evident by Project Spark's complete failure and Dreams struggling to keep an audience through its entire lifespan, and Game Builder Garage despite being on one of the most successful consoles ever was executed so poorly that it had even less of a pulse than Project Spark

[@filled9971]

Most of this isn’t true, console gaming is much more popular due to it being way cheaper and game garage builder did not sell well.

[@IansaneArtist]

Thank you for the this video. It sounds like a very real possiblitly that Dreams 2 and PC version was made or almost finished when Sony stupidly pulled the plug. I for one will focus my game purchases on my XBOX going forward. I am still on Dreams in a smaller capacity, even published Realm Hiker 2. Some of us are still here and won't leave as Dreams is still my favorite platform to create on. I am however focusing on PC games and other projects going forward. So I will create some on Dreams for my recreation or breaks from my learning of Unreal 5 and Blender.

[@ПавелРангелов-б2н]

The moment I saw some of the original crew leaving the company for other projects, I knew..... They have the gaming youtube of the next 10 years and they just left it to rot. Educational value of this "game" ? ... beyond the roof. The stupid thing is how Sony looses the "sony way" of doing things. Dreams on PS5 with VR2 was going to explode so bad.... Roblocks or whatever other builders even on PC , would be powerless to the control elegance of dreams. Sorry ... I am just super pissed !!!! FU who made that decision. I am an extreme PC gamer and believe me when I say , Dreams was the magic bullet for SONY to have an exclusive universe. But no.. lets make everything for every platform.... So its useless to have a PS at all ... The point was propriotery hardware , exclusivite (3D Audio engine , haptic shizzle , fov. rendering, "custom" ssd) and now they can just buy back the Vaio brand and slap it on the PS ...cause its almost there... just a PC

[@mikesantos8554]

Funnyly enough Roblox is coming to Playstation…damn

[@DreamswithLadylexUK]

With the experience of Project Spark being almost identical - except that did have a PC version - even if Dreams had somehow appeared in an advanced state on PC and PS5 I think the outcome would still have been the same. The amount of people out there who appreciate this type of game is very limited - most people do not want to a) make their own games by learning how to sculpt and code and b) Want to play amateur made games - both of which is the essence of Dreams. Those of us who love this kind of thing are passionate about the game and will sink hundreds of hours into it. But to be a monetary success a game needs large numbers of purchases, and a constant revenue stream through bought add ons, DLCs. subscriptions. merchandise etc. Dreams had no one of this. They could have run Dreams with subscriptions for creators - access to speciality kits, access to Media Molecule made games. The core user base would have been totally happy to do this if it had been there from the start, but even then I dont think the numbers would have been high enough. Also gaming has become much more a shared experience for people - it really needed the online multiplayer aspect - local multiplayer is not remotely good enough - and launching during the pandemic without it meant the game went down like a lead balloon. It was never going to recover, and Sony was never going to help it because they had no evidence that the game would ever be popular enough to pay for the wages of an entire studio concentrating all their efforts on it. Our only hope now is that they do not choose to shut down the servers to save money. It will happen eventually, Spark stopped development and gave everyone a year - I am hoping we will have longer, but I am prepared for history to repeat.

[@iyeetsecurity922]

_"Dreams"_ is basically the *Vita* of Sony games.

[@twindenis]

a PC Port would massively increase activity, and many new creators will join in. Most people already switched to either PS5 or PC and the best course of action would be to create a new updated version of the game in a 2.0 fashion and promote it for Steam and PS5 for free or with a price tag.

[@drenegade9047]

Sony had absolutely made the wrong decision. Most of the community knew even before beta what dreams was going to need but it those things stayed in a state of "its coming later" (and then it never came) I do think a pc version is needed if dreams is ever to be ressureccted.

[@bigd5090]

Someone needs to leak this! Hacked/Modded PS5 game development kits are the future of getting new talent into the industry.

[@filled9971]

The closet thing your getting is a private server so emulator users can run it

[@bigd5090]

​@filled9971 Yeah, which is why I have no interest in continuing to support Sony! They are now completely out of step with everything that makes computer/video games and creative software fun and cool! They are even IP squatting on Lemmings which means the newly uncovered Lemming level editor cannot be released for fear they'll sue everyone involved into oblivion! Big corporate Frat-Boy American SIE; who needs them?! Ship PlayStation back to Japan! SIE don't care about gaming and they will spiral down a sinkhole at this rate, taking the beloved PlayStation brand with them!

[@bigd5090]

Yeah, which is why Sony SIE America are no longer worthy of support! Ship the PlayStation division back to Japan! They care about the brand there and understand what is valuable about their history!

[@zonzore]

i think Dream had more potential to surpass MineCraft and Roblox. It' sad to see such a wonderful idea died because of a lack of accessibility.

[@JacobFoust]

The thermometer fills up too fast! 😡

[@anthony_herren]

​@@JacobFoust the sculpture detail tool is your friend. It helps to optimize your sculpts, which helps lower the thermo count.

[@filled9971]

Maybe Minecraft since no one makes minigame servers anymore but definitely not roblox, they will also have to compete with s&box and other new “game makers” when they release

[@brmawe]

Wow! I assumed that SOMETHING was made for Dreams on PS5. Although it's not officially confirmed, I wouldn't be surprised if this was true. Just sad hopefully Mm's next game is a major success. If not then there gonna be just like damn near almost every orher first party studio making similar style of games or worse.

[@mrg0th1er83]

While dreams dies, inferior Roblox makes millions…

[@anthony_herren]

That's how it goes, in this very, very backwards world.

[@DJDIRTYYELLA]

Im here over a year later, still in my feelings about Sony quitting on this game man 😂😭 i’ve lost sleep trying to figure out why? And if not this then wtf is next?

[@UglySofaGaming]

Yeah it's frustrating. What's next? For Mm a more traditional game smells like the direction. For PlayStation, they're going to have to have a few more live service wrist slaps before they get the message

[@veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

somebody leak it! please

[@alexderus1179]

If this is true, I'm going to be furious. Not only was dream going to give the game a second chance, but it was going to be improved on and be more accessible. The main reason why I love dreams was because I want to be a game designer and I couldn't afford a computer to start, so I decided to buy dreams to see if it really is a type of game engine. 3 to 4 years later, and I'm in love with this game engine. I've found myself experimenting and expanding my creations, but the only downfall for dreams for me personally was the limitations on what you can do, but it was also those limitations that taught me to be more creative. Dreams is the perfect starter to learning game design and I will never leave it's side until the day I become a real game developer. If Sony caused Dreams to fall then all I'll say is "F*&k you Sony!!" I was also looking forward to the over Last of Us game.

[@jfitnesshealth]

and that fan sonic game.

[@theamazingstu]

Tragic.

[@BathingInAcheron]

This is immensely infuriating but entirely unsurprising. When Dreams' early access first came out and I tried it, and then discovered it was only going to be PS exclusive, I literally told my friend "Ok yeah, this will most definitely be dead in 3 years or less and end up like Project Spark. This is a gross waste of massive potential here." to which she asked "What's Project Spark?" To which I responded "Exactly." I understand companies want console exclusives, but powerful and groundbreaking things like Dreams should NEVER be made for consoles. EVER. This should have been a PC software DAY 1. Spending the years watching Dreams crash and burn in slow motion, while everyone is gaslighting me that really it's all going great, drove me up a wall.

[@HarmedStudiosDxFanatic]

Well at least we can play dreams on ps5 instead of upcoming ports tho….

[@lucasthegamemasterporterfi84]

I can very well understand why some people didn’t play dreams. It was just too complex for us who wish to create character models and everything…

[@outsiderx7576]

I fear it wasn't meant to be, not enough gamers who wanted to spend hours creating something for little attention at times or getting no money for it. Just a few want that. I guess. For myself I was more a player, leaving comments and so. I was too bad with the building and creating and shaping and so.. I did wanna try with a VR, maybe 2 hands and building makes it easier but I don't have such a VR for the PlayStation.

[@TitterpigRancher]

Sony has been making nothing but bad decisions lately. This just sounds like par for the course, given that a couple months later they'd pull their stupidity with Helldivers 2 and Ghost of Tsushima. Even when their studios rack up Ws, Sony can't help turning them into Ls.

[@Jacob_Animates]

If this was true, That means we were this 🤏 close to dreams finally getting some attention.

[@veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

i will _NEVER_ buy another sony playstation product

[@artmanstudios7037]

Here's what I think they should do and that is to make it open source put it for PC and save it from drowning this this is actually not a bad game engine and that it's got a lot of potential and way more on PC and from there we can still pour to the PlayStation 5 we'll have that connection so so you better get on their a game they need something drastic like this to happen will the open source community would take care of it or else this is just going to be another one of those moments like what happened with Disney and their infinity game!

[@JacobFoust]

I hated the thermometer that limited my original vision to make the game that I always wanted to make! 😡

[@alexhetherington8028]

An Ugly sofa gaming video usually lightens my mood and makes me happy this one however did the opposite ha ha I think this rumour is absolutely true. It was obvious they were working on the ps5 version to me when Abby was asked about it and refused to talk about it and when something isn't outright denied it's usually true. It is a shame but not surprising. It makes sense not to continue work on something that brings no money in. If its any consolation i find some confort in your continued support of it. Anyway regardless we have to deal with the hand that's dealt us and the joy and pros ive got from dreams has far outweighed the cons of it and this whole experience hasnt deterred me from making my full scale complete game its only made me more determined

[@ItsMeJuvyYT]

@Sony @Playstation

[@Eli-nq8lh]

I am fucking pissed off because i bought this on the playstation store on my pc thinking i could play it. But know i have to get a ps4 just to play it. Keep in mind a ps4 is pretty much 400 dollars.and dreams when i bought it was eight dollars.it's stupid

[@IDICEDOUT]

Rip dreams then

[@AlexJolteon]

Sony is totally Greedy

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

There dirty for that.😂

Im believe it qould cause a huge shuft in the gaming culture. Would be impossible to moderate on pc😂 but they dont want innovative games rn...
