‘Dreams’ Beta User Recreate ‘Dead Space’ in Game
Those who have been keeping tabs on Media Molecule’s upcoming PlayStation 4-exclusive sandbox game Dreams finally have the beta after a couple of years of delay. And now that they have it, users have been able to create some pretty cool stuff.
Like recreating Dead Space.
Now keep in mind, the people who leaked this have essentially broken the NDA, which is generally not wise. But, seeing as it’s already out there, to ignore the stuff that people have done (like recreating Visceral Games’ classic sci-fi horror game) seems kind of ridiculous. The creator of this tribute was QuinnBarnett (who you can find on Twitter). If you have the Dreams beta, you can actually find this if you search for ‘Dead Space Thing’ (thanks, Cal Gee!).
Anyways, for those unaware, Dreams (made by the same folks behind LittleBigPlanet) has the player controlling an “imp” via the PS4 controller or with PlayStation Move, which like a mouse cursor, can be used to interact in the game’s world, creating new items and characters. The whole thing is meant to be as intuitive and accessible as possible. It’s quite ambitious, and from what has been leaked, players are taking advantage of the engine’s power.
Plus, it also shows once again how we so need another Dead Space game.
Dreams is set for release later this year.

We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
