Dreams BETA in 2017

Archive: 94 posts

MM has delayed the Dreams BETA to next year. And they commented on the game being a much bigger project then they expected. So we all should expect the BETA to come sometime next year folks.

Here's their latest blog on it.

I kinda expect we'll be here in 12 months with a beta delay to 2018 and eventually it becomes a PS5 game.2016-12-16 19:48:00

I'm actually really happy with this news. I mean it sucks that we won't get to play it soon, but that means they're probably fixing all the parts that people have been hoping for. Let's face it. From what they've shown us, the game is pretty polished on what they have shown. Looking at their blog post, it sounds like they are shifting their focus away from the asset creation part of the game (good call as it looks pretty amazing) and onto the tools parts (really hoping for some new logic and awesome and easy animation tools! I'm thinking a simplified version of blenders animation. Sounds hard, but also MM has done some pretty impressive simplifications of advanced topics with LBP, so i have faith)2016-12-17 03:55:00

Maybe an intial BETA test in 2017, then the real one around 2018/2019, before they can finally release the game in 2020 2016-12-17 18:22:00

There will defiantly be a BETA in 2017. Much like LBP2. MM wouldn't risk having the disastrous launch LBP3 did. I think I may finish up some projects in case this is a closed beta. I want to get into this beta as soon as possible. It looks very promising.2016-12-18 15:39:00

I'm okay with this for 5 reasons:

1. I don't have a PS4 yet, though by next year I'll have enough money saved up to get one.
2. 2016 has clearly been cursed by the demons of the underworld (or perhaps somewhere in our galaxy a constellation of stars has formed in the shape of an upside-down pentagram), and this game deserves a better, more sanctified year to be released in.
3. Trump isn't president yet, but when he is, I'll need a distraction from that reality until 2020. Dreams should be perfect.
4. I'm glad MM has learned from LBP3, and are taking their time and polishing the game, rather than half-butting it to satisfy demand.
5. I know it will be worth the wait.		2016-12-18 20:30:00

Doesn't bother me since it will be far better once it is released. I have N-Sane trilogy to play anyway.

You're right. I'd like to think they learned from them, though MM probably already has enough sense not to release a game before it's finished/playable anyway.



Nah, 2016 is a fantastic year.

I forget sometimes that this community is based in Europe

For Americans, 2016 has been a pretty hectic time. We've lost an astonishingly high number of great talents, celebrities, and musicians, and politically and socially, we haven't been this divided in decades. The biggest issues for me, (as an african-american) was all the racial tension surfacing from Donald Trump prospective presidency (mostly due to his controversial rhetoric apparently giving a platform to relatively obscure racist and xenophobic ideologies), and activist groups like Black Lives Matter getting way out of hand. It's been feeling like the 1960s in some places, and that's kinda scary. Then there's depressing fact that Donald Trump led one of the most incendiary, duplicitous campaigns in history, and still managed to get elected to the highest office in the land, which only divided our country further, defined America to the rest of the world by the worst of his rhetoric, and created what they call a "post-truth" country, where everyone is having an epistemological existential crisis, and no one knows what the heck is true anymore, lol.

Other than all that though...2016 wasn't bad. 		2017-01-06 20:42:00

It's not always the developers choice either. If I remember corrent in the case of lbp3 it was sony pushing for it because of black friday.

Other than all that though...2016 wasn't bad. Yeah, I'm norwegian, but I supported Trump. That and Brexit are the main reasons I thought 2016 was fantastic. As far as I can tell white nationalists haven't been violent and the racist stuff and destruction by the BLM is mostly due to the media lies that have been going on way before Trump's campaign (which also fueled the former). Attributing it to Trump is quite silly.

Small incorrect things like Trump saying China making up global warming and so on isn't really a big deal or making the world "post-truth" and a lot of the times what is deemed lies is even correct. What is however non-truthfull is when the government claims Russia have hacked the DNC when there is no evidence, claiming Trump said all mexians are rapist when he just said that there were rapists among the immigrants and so on. As a libertarian I'm very opposed to probably a lot of what he is going to do (such as foreign policy even though he is less bad than Clinton), but when the critiques of Trump is just plain silly I have no choice but to defend him.

The only thing I've found bothersome about 2016 is that I have to defend my political positions from lbp players all the time when I'm just there for lbp. 		2017-01-07 22:19:00

Yeah, I remember that actually, but I don't think it was just Sony. If I remember correctly, a year after the game came out, there were still serious issues with basic functions in the game, particularly with profile corruptions and the multiplayer. So Sony might've rushed them out the gate, but I think a big part of the reason it came out so broken, was because of Sumo. The game was being developed for 3 years, using a pre-existing engine. I don't know much about game development, but it seems like 3 years is more than enough time for a competent developer to create a game that's barely changed from it's previous installment (especially when you consider how much LBP1 changed to LBP2, within the same time frame). Sony might've put pressure on them, because they already had more than enough time to make the game at least playable, which honestly, I can understand that. I can't help but feel releasing the game as broken as it was, was partly due to a lack of passion, rather than Sony "forcing" them to release the game. But...eh... 		2017-01-08 03:59:00

I agree. Sony rushed the game to an incredible extent. But some people, including myself, just feel that Sumo didn't know how to push the LBP series forward. They were like an editor of a book, who's main author passed away, and the editor was forced to take up the job and finish the work, but didn't have any good ideas to push it forward. He made a few quirky things, but that's it .

With Sumo, that comes with a few issues:

1. Sumo didn't add as many notable logic features as we hoped (though the ones they did add were awesome)
2. Toggle, Swoop, and Oddsock were fantastic additions and made platforming so much fresh and smooth, but were hardly utilized in the story, and just didn't seem to have a huge purpose overall aside from being Sackboy's "friends".
3.This is a minor nitpick of mine, but I think I liked the User-Interface of LBP2 in the pod better than it was in LBP, in the pod.
4.The whole create mode had little additions added, and I feel Sumo could've done more with the layers if LBP3 was placed in PS4 only.
5. Loading times were still and issue in both versions(PS3 and 4)

And the list goes on. It was clear that Sumo was meddling with MM's baby, and it just didn't work out. (That baby being the LBP franchise)
Sumo just didn't have the ideas to move the series forward, but I am thankful that they extended it's lifespan. As greatful as I am to Sumo for making LBP3, I feel like the series should've been left untouched and ended with LBP2. The whole LBP franchise I think was meant to be a gateway for MM to test ideas, for a future, much larger project, that being Dreams. Though LBP3's creation will definitely give MM tips on BETA-testing(testing for any/all bugs during launch) and better marketing (not limiting a project's potential to a much worse console with cross-generation) I do love that LBP3 extended LBP's popularity even more, and we may never get to see such a spring of popularity again in this entire franchise, including Dreams. But for the people who do buy Dreams, it will be an amazing experience .		2017-01-17 20:30:00

Great metaphor, and that's the thing. I feel like everyone is blaming Sony like Sumo couldn't try to leverage more time to work on the game. Games get delayed all the time (*cough The Last Guardian cough*), sometimes for years. I just feel like Sumo didn't care, and just said "eh...we'll just fix all the game breaking bugs with excessive updates, and take advantage of the existing fanbase's loyalty, who will buy the game on day one regardless". On top of that, they were working on a ton of games on a ton of different platforms while they were working on LBP3.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumo_Digital#Games_developed

I just can't see them giving LBP the care and attention that MM would have given it if they were developing it. It was almost like it was just a "side project" for them, and not, as you say, they're baby.		2017-01-19 02:02:00

I agree. LBP'3's hugest problems were definitely the glitches, but there was an even greater problem, the online's instability. Online was always a HUGE part of LBP, whether it's hanging out with friends, playing levels together, even working on group projects. LBP3's hugest problem at launch was that nobody could connect to anybody. The PS3/PS4 split hurt the game enough, but the online was an even greater issue. Even Dive-In(which I know and am happy it was added in later) wasn't in the game at launch, meaning you would have to click on a random level and select "join players" if you wanted to play with other people. When I went through LBP3, I was already a retired creator from LBP2, so I just wanted to sit back and play some levels with people. But LBP3's online wouldn't even let me connect to random people, or even people on my friend's list . The issues and bugs at launch with the online being unstable and the glitches in create are a big reason why LBP3 didn't score as high with reviewers like IGN and Gamespot.

EDIT: Not saying IGN and Gamespot had good reviews, or are even good reviewers for that matter xD. But I can see why certain reviewers at launch didn't give the game the best score due to its initial plunge of glitches.		2017-01-24 11:26:00

So overall I'm very excited for this BETA! I think MM is going to have a presentation this year for E3, and I have a hunch that the Dreams BETA is gonna launch sometime after E3, either during the Summer or close/during the Holidays.2017-03-05 16:03:00

Waiting until VR actually would be good, because it would allow the players to test out all the issues with VR before the game's launch 		2017-03-05 22:21:00

Some of you still hanging around I see! Awesome. For the first time ever I put my sony console back in the box way ahead of its inevitable death as I don't have any exclusives left to play on it. I game on my pc and switch but I'm just waiting for news of a beta. I'm getting this game! I haven't played LBP in a looong time. Miss it. Much luvz.

Media Molecule fans should seriously migrate over to discord. Set it up and announce it and I'm there. Or has it already happened?		2017-11-08 21:28:00

Also, as for the Dreams BETA, I'm fine with it coming whenever. Be it 2018, or 2019. Dreams is a huge project, and I don't expect it to come out before at least 2020.		2017-11-22 16:12:00

2020? I don't think Sony would let that slide. I don't actually think any publisher would let that slide. The only reason I think we haven't heard any news is that they made Media Molecule choose between rushing the project or waiting and making it a big VR debut. Totally speculation, but it sounds like a sony move (and hey, I'd be cool with having Media Molecule influencing VR in games)2017-11-23 01:01:00

Totally speculation, but it sounds like a sony move (and hey, I'd be cool with having Media Molecule influencing VR in games)

Sony might be upset with it, but in all honesty, I think if MM's project really is still in a deep development process, I can see the release date of the game being extended to 2020 or 2021. I think Sony has screwed MM over a lot in the past, especially with LBP3, not allowing Sumo to spend more time polishing the game and essentially ruining MM's franchise. I'm hoping that if MM ever again comes with a block from Sony, they'll push through that and focus on making the best game possible, no matter how many delays it takes.

Oh yeah, the VR debut could be one reason. The game has been in development for several years, and the only explanation for why they haven't been showing any footage is that maybe they're still experimenting with the VR technology. All in all though, I'm just hoping that MM publishes their game when THEY want it, not when Sony wants it.		2017-11-23 01:51:00

The other reason I think they're doing VR (despite sony having minor notoriety in regards to rushing things (not as much as EA or other publishers though)) is that was mentioned a lot in the last bit of videos we got about Dreams. In addition to that, I do not think the state of the game was years away from release based on the videos. It had sounded like they were just fixing up technical things and the story before beta. If they were to implement VR that would delay the release big time, which it seems is the case. I do think going VR is the right route though for this type of game. Hopefully they'll release non VR controls as well (considering the trailer had them it would be weird not to), but it's out of my control. It would simply be a matter of when I get it then.2017-11-23 04:33:00

I would agree. Although currently they're aren't a lot of games out for VR, though some were announced last E3. I think VR might be a huge opportunity for Dreams to really shine, depending on how MM implements it. I think they should do a Collector's edition for Dreams, that comes with the game and the PS VR technology.2017-11-23 13:36:00

That would be way more appealing to me. If there's one company I trust to make a big impact (in a good way) for VR, it's Media Molecule.2017-11-23 21:44:00

I never thought about Dreams being a VR game. I like the concept of VR, but it feels like a halfway finished idea in my opinion.

Yeah but it would explain why Dreams is a big project. And when it comes to LBP3, Sony really owes MM more than enough dev time. LBP3 is great, but the technical side of things is not very bright. Every game that gets rushed is buggy as hell. Why do publishers never learn?		2017-11-24 12:06:00

They are definitely going to be there. It would be a terrible marketing move to start streams and then stop. The other thing is they've finally hit the code freeze point where they are no longer adding any new features for development and are focusing exclusively on bugs.2018-02-21 04:02:00

I'm only speculating, but from their last stream they did say they finally stopped adding features. Or at least the way they phrased it was now what dreams you see is the dreams you are going to get. It was a bit vague, but it would be weird if they weren't at the bug fix only phase. Of course they'll be working on other features, but I'm assuming the version they are streaming is the version we will be receiving, meaning some features they are working on won't be added to THAT version, but maybe later.At least that's how I interpreted their discussion2018-02-22 10:38:00

Beta announcement before or at E3. The beta will begin in August and end in October and the game's release date -Nov 11th- will be announced at E3. The game will also be delayed for X amount of time.2018-02-22 18:26:00

It was a bit vague, but it would be weird if they weren't at the bug fix only phase. Of course they'll be working on other features, but I'm assuming the version they are streaming is the version we will be receiving, meaning some features they are working on won't be added to THAT version, but maybe later.At least that's how I interpreted their discussion

Not so! Alex just added transitions between level links:

Beta announcement before or at E3. The beta will begin in August and end in October and the game's release date -Nov 11th- will be announced at E3. The game will also be delayed for X amount of time.


What?..there is no X in time. lol		2018-02-23 14:32:00

I'm guessing we're going to have a BETA after E3 2018, during the summer. And then the actually game will come out sometime around Holiday 2018(Thanksgiving or Christmas).2018-03-17 14:48:00

I also think this is their strategy. How did they do it with LBP2 again?2018-03-17 17:12:00

The beta for LittleBigPlanet 2 was released on the second week in Sepetember 2010,They selected really active users in LittleBigPlanet,If you had been in Lbp1 beta then you'd get to be in lbp 2s beta...


I'm hoping they have sign ups for Dreams

I wasn't in either of those betas but I was in Lbpks beta and Lbp3s beta .		2018-08-07 04:40:00

But here's the thing. Dreams isn't like the LBP series. Dreams is a game on a MASSIVE scale. LBP1, 2, and 3 were all released within the limitations of the PS3's hardware. Dreams takes FULL advantage of the PS4's hardware. So we definitely can't take any chances with the BETA being released anytime soon. With such a large game, there are bound to be tons of bugs/glitches, which I'm assuming they're trying to fix right now.		2018-08-17 15:43:00

It's probably multiplayer and network problems they're facing now. The videos look relatively stable enough. Plus network things are just always annoying to make work.2018-08-18 08:08:00

Yeah. Network and Multiplayer are actually something I'm worried about. Because this game is so huge, it's questionable if the online will be stable.		2018-08-20 14:31:00

What's weird is how honest they are with questions about the current state of the game. I found it weird that PSVR wasn't being included day one, but within a week, they changed it to working. They've also said some things about multiplayer which I don't believe will be true at release. Normally games are a lot more hush-hush or making promises that aren't entirely certain to be fixed. I find MM's approach to dreams refreshing.		2018-08-21 13:12:00

That's most likely a sign that they're wrapping up development. Usually if a project is far from complete, developers often tend to scrap things up. But if MM really is being honest, that's a sign that Dreams will be coming soon!		2018-08-22 17:39:00

C'mon friends! This thread has the title 'Dreams BETA in 2017'! You can't possibly think that there could be any delay!!! Can you? 2018-09-21 04:37:00

Yes and no. Dreams Beta could be delayed again to 2019, but all the progress that was made this year makes me think that the game is almost done and just needs bugfixing and network support. Sony also plays a part here. A Beta release seems very likely to me. But yeah, a delay is also possible.2018-09-21 07:05:00

I think with them showing off Dreams at a lot of the recent events,Gives it a good chance of a beta this year .Id say the beta will be announced at Paris Games Week witch is at the end of October . From the 26th to the 30th .		2018-09-26 03:17:00

I'm curious as to how they'll pick people for the beta. They have a relatively new newsletter which is an option. They also have the forums for LBP, which seems possible as well, but I'm not sure. Then they also have a few dreams forums.2018-11-10 04:24:00

I have not heard anything.. if they are wanting input, they sure haven't asked me. Not sure if any site has heard from them. lol

With new community managers, I doubt they remember who any of us really are. Some of the folks that still work at Mm talk to me on FB, but Spaff is long gone. Regardless... no one has said anything to us officially.		2018-11-10 12:24:00

uh huh, i caught that OFFICIALLY! But in seriousness, I'm more curious as to how big the beta will be. I don't really care if I get the beta or not (don't get me wrong, I'd play the heck out of it, but i don't NEED it. I'd just be happy that it means a close release date).2018-11-10 12:54:00

Officially or otherwise? lol..

I am the same as you. Really don't care about the beta as much as when it finally arrives. I am hoping to be less busy someday so I can actually play the thing. So for me, it isn't an issue that it is not out yet. Thought, I am currently enjoying the first day of a nice 3 day weekend for once.

Kinda stunned actually.. lol		2018-11-10 13:57:00

Mate, enjoy your weekend.

I personally missed all the LBP betas, but I'd really like to create a small level in Dreams in the Beta.		2018-11-12 01:32:00
