Didn't Sony pay for funding since MM is a Sony studio? So unless MM gets paid per copy sold (a bonus or something) I don't think it matters that much.

IGN: Cyberpunk 2077 'PS1 Demake' Has Been Made Entirely in PS4's Dreams

I mean yeah Sony funded it since MM is a Sony studio but if your game makes almost no money it's not good. They need to get some return on their investment. Otherwise Evolution would still exist.
True, but MM is a small team. I think Sony could really benefit from long term vision here. Firstly, more than 100k people have already bought dreams in early access. Assuming it sells atleast 200k more units on release at $40, you've made around 10 million dollars, which is probably the budget of the game.
Even if Sony takes a loss by giving it away with the PS5, Dreams is a game that could unironically be the next Minecraft. In a few years, this game could morph into a monstrous system seller. All it needs is a strong player base to start with.
I think that potential should be respected by Sony.
It looks simultaneously better and worse for a myriad of reasons. Basically the equivalent of making a "NES cover" of a song by just haphazardly using square waves without any real consideration for the hardware specifications. I think it would have been better if it just dropped the reference to PS1 and just branded it as a nondescript retro demake.
Then you don't really have the proper mindset of an artist or creator. Plenty of people do these kinds of projects just for the sheer craftsmanship of it. Like that Doom rendition of the Seinfeld apartment.
Fair enough. I can see them selling asset packs or something if they make it a free app.
WTF!! Mario looks perfect I just! This is randomly enough the most impressive thing I've seen about Dreams
A Bloodborne fan. Clara that you?! He will always be Andy for me :D
Yep. The Dream engine / builder need to be free to access. You put your game on a specific store (accessible by everyone), put a price and MM / Sony take a share. We know after launch, console are often dry of games while waiting the second batch 3-4 months later. If anyone can play with those tools at launch on PS5, it can be really great.
That's what I was thinking. Early PS2 game with enhanced res. Either way, very cool. I got nostalgia.
These are the first two games that I thought of from the PS1, which instantly made me realize there's no way this would be on an actual PSX.
Also, what the fuck is a "demake". Remaking the game with worse visuals is still a remake.
