But isn't it just a port? (I suppose they could still fuck it up, though.)OldClassicGamer said:

Portal 3 merely because I have not invested myself in the Half-Life series yet (not even sure if I ever will TBH).

Bump time? Bump time.
So I am excited about a lot of games coming in 2018, Kingdom Hearts 3 and Dragon Quest XI to name a couple, but one game really stands out on my list. Is it even a game? Maybe it is just a dream.
Yeah, it's Dreams for PS4: an application where you can create games (or even other stuff) and play other people's games. Similar things exist already, but nothing comes close to the scope and the ease of use that Dreams seems to offer.
You can create almost everything about the game yourself, for almost any genre. If it's a 3D platformer you're looking to create, then Dreams seems to be perfect for it: you can sculpt (video from 1.5 years ago) and animate your own character, program its moveset, program the game logic, draw/sketch the world, put stuff in it to collect, create cinematics, and have a simple level finished within like 30 minutes. To give you an idea of the scope, there's even a full music sequencer inside, which can tie instruments to game logic to create rhythm games, for example. Oh, and you can also export your models for use in more open game engines.
You can make stuff like this:
This screenshot in particular shows exactly the sort of art style that I would want for a 3D Dreambound.
As you might know, Dreambound is my fan game that just doesn't get anywhere beyond having a super detailed 70-page game design bible for 10% of the game (plus pages and pages of smaller ideas for details in later areas), as well as having the full story (incl. optional sidestories) written out in bullet point format, overall gameplay planned, and a lot of concept images and music made.
I definitely plan on creating one of the areas I have in mind in Dreams to see if I can create the whole game in this (even though I am currently changing my ideas to make them work in 2D version again). I will likely decide against making the full game in it, since I don't want it to be bound to Dreams (hehe geddit) and I am too much of a perfectionist for stuff that concerns my game, but I will definitely try to create a smaller thing. I can imagine a lot of people will do the same: create short stories or small fangames of their favorite videogames. Seems ideal for a Rayman fangame, or something like a small Rayman 1 3D recreation. I'm quite looking forward to see what stuff will pop up.
