Stephen: "One of the most celebrated creators in Dreams goes by the name DISARMED. He's responsible for several amazing looking tech demos and levels you can find on the Dreamiverse, pushing the game engine with surprisingly sophisticated visuals. The talented Dreams user has clearly taken a liking to Remedy's Control, as it's the subject of his latest work. He's recreated a couple of locations from the bizarre adventure, and as always, they look great."
Fans of Rare's Banjo Kazooie can finally take the bear-bird duo on a new outing in a game exclusively available on PlayStation.
I don’t see this single level as a fan made but as a demo pitch from the studio to revive the franchise with a new game and to measure the want of PlayStation for a full game
It's a great engine to quickly prototype and publicly test a game concept. Honestly, had they approached the business model differently, Dreams could have been very successful... They could have made their money from the creators, not just off game sales, if they'd made a system that lets you pay a fee to export your games/levels so that they are playable on any PlayStation even if you don't have Dreams installed. That would have opened up an additional revenue stream that would have made the game profitable. Charge an export fee, then take a cut of each sale for the games created... it gives financial incentive for developers to invest serious time into making games in that engine, which increases the quality of the projects made within it. Dreams was just ahead of its time.
That's happening when you’ve got a great IP but no clue how to use it, while others are yelling at you to get to work on them.
I always said that Dreams should have released on every PC/console capable of handling its graphical prowess, not like it was so much of a powerhouse anyways. It should have also had PSVR2 compatibility.
It’s a shame the game was put out to pastures so early in its life.
It should have had kb/m support and no mp implementation was a mistake ..... I miss lbp , they should have just stuck with that franchise . If they didn't kill the servers it would still be installed on my ps , it was a game of endless fun
Banjo Kazooie isn't the only franchise Microsoft is sitting on and doing nothing.
Same can be said for Sony also , a couple years after the ps4 launched and after the success of TLoU they basically abandoned everything except for GoW, GT, R&C and MLB .. such a shame . Was never a XB or MS person but knowing all the franchises Sony will never touch again stings a lot
New evidence suggests a Control reveal is imminent. A trademark discovery ahead of The Game Awards hints at big news for Remedy's franchise.
Control was really good. There was a ton of backtracking and running through the building from one end to the other a ton of times, but otherwise I loved it. Can't wait to see the sequel.
I really enjoyed Control though without the mini map i found myself lost and or unsure of what to do too often and gave in on the game about 30% in.
Ive just re-downloaded it with the latest update with the enhanced graphics but unaure I'll dig back into it agaith with my current backlog.
Looking forward to seeing whats next from Remedy though.
I know exactly what you mean. I've played the game through twice and have had the same issue both times.
What I found on my latest playthrough was that the best way to navigate is to use the physical signs in-game as well as the map.
EyELET GAMES has announced they will be releasing the unofficial Courage The Cowardly Dog Game via Dreams on November 28th, 2025.
Such a shame media Molecule and sony didnt know what to do with this game. Now would be a perfect time to release it multiplat like helldivers 2. It needs a large community.
