Dreams is a strange offering. The PS4 exclusive allows players to showcase their talent by creating anything they want, from art to video games. But despite its reliance on the talent of others for success, creators have no way to capitalize on their masterpieces. Nothing, including the Fallout 4 creation, can be exported outside the app, and there’s no way for amateur designers to make money. Despite this incredibly one-sided deal, many have created some impressive things using Dreams during its early access period.
Dreams released on Valentine’s Day to a warm reception from fans. And Robo_Killer_v2’s Fallout 4: Dreams Edition might be the best creation yet from the game’s dedicated community. The game takes players into the Fallout universe. Though it is still a work in progress, this build features a near-perfect recreation of the Fallout 4 opening scene. A video uploaded to YouTube shows the tutorial and highlights some of the gameplay.
The video showcases the tutorial, which shows the player beating down a Mirelurk with a sledgehammer. But the most impressive detail, as expected, is the recreation’s open-world setting. The scenery is nearly perfect, accompanied by the classic Fallout background music and some familiar faces, like Mr. Handy and an ever-terrifying sentry bot. The Pip-Boy is fully-functional, and numerous Fallout weapons are included in the game. Other Dreams players have remade Metal Gear Solid, and one even reimagined The Last of Us Part II as a PS1 game. Players eagerly awaiting Cyberpunk 2077 can play a very well-done “1997” version of it in Dreams as well. There are seemingly no limits to this remarkable creation tool.
Overall, Dreams is a fantastic piece of software that allows players to showcase their talent. But unlike other creation tools (RPG Maker, for example), content creators can’t export or sell their games. Eventually, the talented Dreams creation community may tire of everyone else profiting off their content while they are unable to do so themselves. If this issue is fixed, Dreams could provide a creative outlet for aspiring game designers for quite some time.
