Do not adjust your screen. What you are seeing is an English-style breakfast recreated in Dreams.
They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Most of us skip breakfast, and honestly, we shouldn’t. Especially when breakfast can look like this.
Starting from left to right, we have slices of ham followed by grilled mushrooms. Then we have French toast with a pair of fried eggs on top right next to some baked beans and sauces. Finally, a grilled tomato gives us a little vitamin C to start our morning off right.
It looks delicious, nutritious, and filling. And it’s entirely fake.
What you’re looking at was entirely created in Dreams, the game creator/sandbox that will soon arrive on the PlayStation 4. We’ve been covering this amazing new entry from Media Molecule (the makers of Little Big Planet) for some time. It looks amazing not just because of its ability to recreate a classic English breakfast but also for its ability to recreate entire other games within itself. Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy 7, and Rogue Squadron have all been recreated in Dreams along with countless other titles.
The key element in Dreams is a robust and easy-to-learn creation system that allows you to make almost anything. Senior Principal Designer at Media Molecule John Beech decided to host a little impromptu contest that would showcase just one aspect of Dreams’ creation system by recreating a full English breakfast. Several amateur and student game developers got in on the action to make their own breakfasts, and the results are absolutely stunning.
Three out of the four breakfasts are indistinguishable from photos. The fourth is still a great model, but the lighting and textures seem just a little bit off. However, it’s still more than good enough to be used in a game if that’s going to be the art style.
Dreams will release on February 14th for the PS4 after being in early access for over a year. A large community of game makers has already sprung up around Dreams, so expect that community to grow by leaps and bounds come February.
