E3 2016: PS4 Exclusive Dreams Sleeping on This Year's Show

Media Molecule's upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive was absent at this year's Sony E3 2016 press conference, and that's because Media Molecule's still busy beavering away on the game back in the UK. The team posted a message on Twitter to explain its absence, stating that it's "working its socks off" and is looking forward to "sharing more soon".

To be fair, the game has got a lot of press conference slots over the past year or so, so we're all for the studio taking its time.

I've been watching a few of their archived streams recently, and Dreams is looking insanely good. It certainly won't be for everyone, but there's going to be some incredible stuff made by the community.

It does look good I just would have liked it not to be shown at last years show then then nothing this year. Its better to start seeing a game within a year of it being ready.

@dryrain I'm willing to bet it'll be at Gamescom/Paris Games Week. I'd be pretty surprised if it doesn't.

Also, Media Molecule have been doing live streams once a fortnight for months, so there's plenty of footage and chatter about the game on their YouTube channel if you wanted to see more. They even did one stream where they coded in water on the fly! The folks at Mm are wizards.

I was surprised last night after the show how good it was yet how much they didn't show. Uncharted 4 is out already, but it was still weird not to have it in there. No NMS, no Dreams, no Shemue 3 or FF7 remaster. No Titan fall 2 or Destiny or Madden or FIFA. They did a real good job of just focusing on their action adventure exclusives and keeping it short. I'm not a fan PSVR but what they showed looked OK. Only Lego Star Wars seemed entirely out of place.

But as much as I am looking forward to Dreams, show was fine without it.
