Do you remember the thoroughly impressive Metal Gear Solid remake that was coming together in Dreams from about a month ago? Well, there's good news and bad news. On a positive note, YouTube user Bearly Regal has been working tirelessly to fine-tune the opening area to create the best possible recreation, which you can check out in the video above. The bad news is that unfortunately, this is all we'll be getting.
The creator has fallen on ill health, stating: "The original plan was to rebuild the entire game but unfortunately I don't have the time to continue the project (and my health isn't particularly great either) so I'm passing the gauntlet over to you!" It's a sad turn of events, but Bearly Regal has done something to allow other creators to manufacture their own Metal Gear Solid levels.
If you collect all 13 rations spread across the area, you'll unlock some creation tools and assets that will go a long way to helping you in your own sneaking missions should you want to recreate those memories. Hideo Kojima himself has once again retweeted the post that made the announcement, giving his blessing just like he did upon the original trailer's unveiling.
Will you be taking up the reigns left by Bearly Regal? Get your thinking hat on in the comments below.

I worry that’s all Dreams will ever be, a bunch of interesting tasters and concepts which you can dip in and out of but the quality, complete experiences may be few and far between. Early days though, I guess.
Kyle how many hours have you played of dreams? Youtube "project Genesis dreams". Try it before you criticize. I cant stand reviewers who make conclusions about things they never even use.
I wish Konami would make MGS1 again like Capcom made RE2 Remake. That would blow-my-mind
@jess3a3 Fair enough. For my part I can’t understand the concept of having to have tried something to form an opinion of it. Granted, certain opinions are more valid than others, but I have 25 years of experience playing video games so my opinion is not invalid, either. Think about that. Then turn it into a video game. I’d give it a 6/10. That’s not bad, before you complain.
Kyle if you had a car magazine and reviewed cars that you never drove would anyone trust your opinion? Would you trust any video game journalist who reviewed games they never actually played? Mm deserves some praise for creating a 30$ limitless game creation engine. Yes some game are bad on dreams but some are very good. Watch project Genesis on YouTube or better yet actually support a developer with 30$ and buy dreams.
@jess3a3 I played Dreams for the first time today and there's no doubt a bunch of talented people could make something amazing - but its really difficult to control.
I couldn't even put the cone on the rocket ship properly during the introduction.
@kyleforrester87 I understand what Jess3a3 is saying. Its like calling a movie terrible without ever seeing it. 😆
Personally i playing games for 20 years now whats your point?
@jess3a3 good points - now, I have a passing interest in cars, motorbikes and cycles and I can view all three through a prism of prior experience to form an opinion. If I see a frame that I don’t think is going to be aerodynamic I can pass comment on that. If I think an exhaust looks dumb I can comment on that too. It’s not black and white my friend. Different shades of grey. And if you refer back to my original statement, you’ll note I drew no definite conclusions. I’m stupid, but not stupid enough to pass total judgement on something without trying it myself. I rate this comment 10/10. Perfect.
@Flaming_Kaiser and you’re a 3/10.
@themcnoisy it’s not an appropriate forum to be discussing the difficulties you’re having in the bedroom, buddy.
@kyleforrester87 I think what Jess is saying is that everyone should back dreams and buy it in store. I actually agree as a big gamer this kind of unique experience is one of a kind.
My initial impressions are not great - but that is primarily from a singular instance over 2 hours of trying and tragically failing to make a music track. It's certainly not intuitive. But with enough experience and practise things will start to become second nature and projects will have a faster turn around. I think we are in a very early phase right now.
The meta of collecting bubbles (which is alluded to in the video above) is actually an amazing idea and will encourage the gamer in me to try more projects. As I'm sure it would you.
@kyleforrester87 "Certain opinions are more valid than others, but I have 25 years of experience playing video games so my opinion is not invalid, either. Think about that. Then turn it into a video game. I’d give it a 6/10."
These Push Square reviews are getting shorter and shorter. This is a blatant attempt by the reviewer to drag down the game's Metacritic score.
@themcnoisy I have said many times I don’t really have the creativity or desire to make a video game myself on Dreams. And if I could get something together, I wouldn’t really have the time. So unless some real quality experiences get released it’s just not something I see myself spending money on. But I never say never, you know me enough to know i’ll take a punt on most games - as far as Mm go I love Tearaway but never enjoyed LBP.
@Gremio108 busted!
On a more important note, i hope the chaps ill health is only temporary, get well soon and well done for your efforts!!
Came here for the Metal Gear story, left satisfied with the KyleForrester show.
@Carl-G They did, it's called Twin Snakes for the NGC. It's brilliant, even though they changed some of the music and it is just not as good
I'm with @kyleforrester87 on this one, in that there seems to be a lot of very short experiences that people have made, no doubt high in quality but very light on content. Now this may well change as it probably takes a lot of time and effort to create these and by all accounts the actual game is launching with several campaigns of it's own and that's when I'll be tempted to jump on board, for now though I doubt I'm good enough to be able to create anything meaningful.
@Flaming_Kaiser Ghostbusters 2016? Never seen it but I think its terrible. For games I'd go Fallout 76, though I have played it for about an hour but in my defense I thought it was rubbish before I played it (spoiler - I was right 😁). Maybe we should have a forum of reviewing things we've never seen/played
To me, Dreams doesn't look nearly as hot as Push Square makes it out to be. I look at it, I don't feel like touching it. Does that mean I'm stupid? Biased? Simple-minded?
Nope. This is called having an opinion.

@kyleforrester87 gets 10/10 on the comment section tonight!
Damn bro!
Ill just keep enjoying dreams for hours on end and ignoring the negative opinions of people who have never played it. Either Death Stranding or Dreams will be Game of the year 2019.
@jess3a3 I was of the impression that Kyle is someone that frequents the comments section of this fine establishment (a commentator, if you will) and not a purveyor of professional opinion and wisdom (a reviewer). Hence, I believe he is entitled to his opinion as you are to yours.
@kyleforrester87 I agree with u on the dreams thing, its a awesome idea, but its gonna be mainly short experiences i think. I would love to be wrong and some creative people out there make some really great stuff. But the time it would take to do it....without getting paid, dont seem worth it.
@kyleforrester87 I'm going to remake that 10/10 comment of yours in Dreams. How's that for quality content?
Dreams beta is just the (incomplete) creation tool...
Wait till the full game, which will definitely have its standalone game...
That should give other people an idea of how to fully utilize the tools as well...
This game needs a community to survive, but I'm all into Dreams...
It has got potential barely any games do these days...
However, the creation isn't for everyone...
well, "opinions are like noses. Everyone has one".. And people have the right to have it and express it, as long as it does not offend anyone. If someone gets offended because a game was criticized, well, it's my opinion that this person should die. =D ( jk. That person should get a life..)
It is also my opinion that just from looking to a game, most of the times I can tell if I will like it or not. Exactly the same way many people will look at a game and think they will like it.
On the subject of Dreams, I believe it's a great idea, and a few good things could get out from it, because there're too many people with too much time to spare. But it's like "to count your chickens before they're hatched".. Saying it's going to be game of the year it's a little bit too much for me..
I rate this comment section a 4 out of 10.
@Kidfried You'd probably screw up the combat system and include a bunch of naff voice overs. Never mess with a classic, bro.
@kyleforrester87 i honestly dont think playing video games for 25 years makes your opinion any more valib tbh. Reminds me of when people who work in video game stores claim they know better or are always right cos they work on the other side of the counter
I've been 'playing' Dreams whenever I get the opportunity since early access came out. I agree that a lot of the playable content is short and of variable quality, but there are a lot of gems to be found.
I think one thing preventing people from going all out and creating full-length games is the fact there's no guarantee that early access content will carry forward into the full release. It would be gutting to invest a lot of time into something and then have it trashed by a breaking change or disappear entirely.
Anyway, for now I'll enjoy my endless tinkering with the game's logic system...
@Absenceoffaith93 and I honestly disagree with you. Would you look at that, opinions in action.
@kyleforrester87 and thats probably why no one takes your opinion seriously 😂
@kyleforrester87 playing for 25 years doesn't make you anymore valid than someone whose been playing for 5 years, just cos you slap a bigger number to it doesnt make it anymore worthy/valuable. Just seems like a very poor attempt to make you look right when it does nothing 😂
@Absenceoffaith93 You're completely missing the point. Can you genuinely say you've never in your entire life passed any kind of judgement on anything prior to fully experiencing it for yourself? If you say yes, I say you're a liar. Now, to suggest your judgement is 100% accurate is a different story, and if you refer to all of my previous posts you'll see I've never done that, nor would I, because I'm not an idiot. The reality is you build up different experiences in life and using those experiences you can make educated guesses about what might and what might not resonate with you, when provided with even limited information. The more experience you have the less information you generally need to form an opinion that carries more weight.
This is simple, basic stuff and I'm kind of bummed out that you're making me explain it to you. Perhaps you're just trying to get me all riled up, you scamp!
I tend to agree with @kyleforrester87. I actually have Dreams so, in some peoples theories, can actually pass comment. I've not seen a project on there yet that I would consider either paying for or playing for more than about 5 minutes, out of curiosity. Most of them are just ugly looking. I'm not criticising because I realise these are games made on a PS4 so it's amazing in and of itself, but that doesn't mean it's any good. If people have found genuinely amazing games that I could look at and not immediately realise it was made in Dreams, please let me know so I can play them.
@kyleforrester87 i never said anything about casting judgement in any of my previous posts, but maybe before you cast judgement maybe try it, then cast judgement, your opinion will be taken alot more seriously than a"ive played games for 25 years" qualification.
I used to work with a guy in game, who'd been gaming alot longer than you, always said a game(bloodborne) was not very good, but hadnt even tried that or any soul game, and his opinion meant bugger all either
@Absenceoffaith93 " i never said anything about casting judgement in any of my previous posts, but maybe before you cast judgement maybe try it, then cast judgement, your opinion will be taken alot more seriously than a"ive played games for 25 years" qualification."
You're exactly right. That's why my comments shouldn't be considered professional reviews that you should use to form your own opinion as to whether or not you should buy this game. Unless you know me well enough to know my tastes, in which case it could help you to form an idea.
@tomassi I tend to agree with @kyleforrester87 on pretty much everything, because arguing with him is pointless anyway.
@Kidfried hahah come on I’m not that bad
@Absenceoffaith93 As someone who has had 39 years of video gaming experience, I can state that Kyle's 25 years does matter.
Kyle for president, he's our defacto leader!
@Hengist but in reality it doesnt 😉😂
@Hengist also why he said "you're exactly right"😉👍😂
@Hengist That's what I'm talking about!
@kyleforrester87 Well, at least you're not as bad as the controls in Dreams - assuming you're able to put a cone on a rocket. (@themcnoisy)
@themcnoisy This is Dreams, you can put the cone wherever you damn want.
@Octane @Kidfried I've got the cone on the rocket! Whoop whoop.
Dreams is really good. I really wish there was a 2d side to the game so you can stop worrying about the camera and make pixels and basic stuff before putting them into the wider 3d engine. But alas as it currently stands I've played it for 7 hours made a rubbish song which is out of tune and a rocket which looks more like a snowman. It's a load of fun.

@jess3a3 I was just gonna post here asking for recommendations as I bought it today! Not booted it up yet... looking forward to it! Also gonna seek out that Star Wars one.
I own Dreams, and still havent seen any good games tbh.
With an average tennis game ill be ok at least
The title brought me here but it was @kyleforrester87 that really kept me going.
Solid 8.2/10 for the banter based on my 25 years experience with gaming and 27 in the use of logic to shut things down.
@Its_badW0lf thanks man that means a lot, just you wait for the definitive edition, it’ll blow your socks off.
