Impys-IG.PNG


Where to watch: Twitch on Sunday January 26th at 5pm GMT / 12pm EST

Media Molecule: Molecules from every department at the studio went through all the nominations to create the lists below - it was NOT easy. Reviewing so many community creations highlighted just how talented, innovative and interesting the Dreams community is and we truly wish we could award them all.

We’ll be celebrating the whole community during our show with special guests, some very exciting industry judges, lots of surprises and all the enthusiasm of our normal weekly streams but in fancy costumes with an even fancier stage made for us by the Mm Art department. We have a theme song and everything!

I’ve came over a ton of really cool stuff in dreams, but never the ones in the top of the game of the year category. Will check out all of them.

looking forward to the full release.

Now that this is coming to PC and potentially Xbox and Switch the fanboy driven hate for this game will end and I like that because this is an absolutely incredible tool.

Yeah now that it's coming to xbox switch we can all totally overlook media molecule's suspect marketing and the flaws within the game.

I am very excited for this game but it seems a little odd to have awards for a game that is not finished enough to be released to the public.

seriously? what marketing exactly? what flaws?

There are lots of reviews of the demo by small youtubers sites, all agree its a great game with a lot of potential.

Whats the point of getting this on ps4/5 anymore? People are going to sculpt insane things now with a tablet/cintique on pc
  1. Do we have official, real, confirmation of this coming to PC?
  2. Contrary to revisionist history, Sony has no problem with cross-play to PC, since the PS2 days. So it's not unreasonable to assume creations made on PC would be playable on PS4/5. And most of all...
  3. I'm willing to bet the vast majority of people who buy this will end up more playing content created by other users, and I don't see how PS4/5 would be a bad platform for that.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
I think multiplats are just as important as exclusives, Dreams is one of the good ones absolutely.

So the people currently doing all the great content on PS4 can continue to do so, because not everybody games or creates on PC..Are you saying that Sony should ditch one of it's primary games on PS4, just because it's releasing on PC? Which is only a rumor btw, which I'm not even against tbh...
 
With an event like this I wouldn’t be surprised if Media Molecule keeps an eye on some of the winners of this award. They’ve already hired people from the community, if nothing else I can imagine Dream having featured creators or something.
 
Show is now over but you should be able to rewatch in a bit

Congrats to all the Impy Award winners, remember there is a lot of cool creations Media Molecule aren’t officially allowed to talk about such as this Crash Bandicoot Creation:
