Related: PS4 Dreams Creation Looks Shockingly Real & Is Blowing Players' Minds Whether players are participating in game jams, creating epic scenes of art, or showing off musical talent, Dreams has tools to help make it a reality. The entire Dreams suite is wrapped in a flashy and artistic dreamscape that really encourages players to let themselves get lost in a world of their own imagination and the imaginations of the wider community. And, through Dreams, we get to experience them.Dreams is not just an engine for game creation. It was brilliantly rubbish and unlike anything we would likely get to experience otherwise.Īs Healey points out, these aren't the types of games we see being funded by studios, but they're nevertheless brilliantly fun. Instead imagine a poorly recorded (and hilarious) voice-over, some cone-bodied cartoon witches and a car that rams through a scene that looks like it's been drawn by a child. But this isn't some polished, Blair Witch-style game. Witchy Woods is a short but memorable game that sees you playing as a Scottish man who needs to cross through a forest invested with witches to get his car, before heading back home again. In fact, some of the most enjoyable games that I played were the shoddiest - in the best way. Yeah, that's the stuff that really turns me on with this.'Īnd this is perhaps what I love about Dreams the most: not everything is perfectly polished. 'But the thing that really excites me about it already is, you know obviously some people are really going for epic, releasing their little teaser trailers and things, and some people just make these really silly and wacky things. 'If you love playing games, you've got such a mad range of things already. You can just go and lose yourself searching,' Healey enthuses to me.

I was able to jump in and out of an abundance of varying creations, sampling a taste of someone else's creativity before jumping into something totally different.

While I was initially a bit cynical about Healey's comments, the more I 'Dream Surfed' through the community's creations, the more I realized how right he was. And I think the same happens with Dreams, you go there and play stuff - that might be all you ever do - and that's more than enough.' A lot of people know what YouTube is and most people go there to watch things. 'I like to compare it to YouTube, that's the best analogy I can think of.

'Or you go there and join in the fun and start making some stuff yourself. 'It's a place that you can go to consume and just see things that people in the PlayStation community have made,' creative director Mark Healey tells me at the Dreams launch event. 'You go there and play stuff - that might be all you ever do - and that's more than enough' Mark Healey - Creative Director You can simply enjoy the games, sculptures, music and art that (more talented) others in the community have created.

However, the beauty of Dreams is you don't actually have to create anything at all.
