PS4 exclusive Dreams gives players the freedom to create virtually anything that they can imagine using its expansive suite of creation tools. And like in many similar games, Dreams players have used these tools to recreate their favorite franchises. This has included various cartoons, such as the popular animated series Bob's Burgers, which has been a huge hit since its debut on Fox in 2011.
Mere days after the Dreams launch on PS4, and someone has already made a Bob's Burgers-themed level. This was discovered by Simon Chong, who has worked as a director on the Bob's Burgers TV series. He shared a clip of the Bob's Burgers level in Dreams, showing the player character take control of not only Bob, but also Louise. The clip shows players running around the street outside of the titular Bob's Burgers restaurant, and it looks very accurate to the TV show.
This isn't the first time that a cartoon or TV series has been remade in Dreams, and it certainly won't be the last. One of the more notable ones is a Dreams level based on Dexter's Laboratory, which lets players explore Dexter's house as Dexter himself. Other characters from the show, including Dexter's parents, make an appearance, and players are free to explore his room, the living room, and the kitchen.
The extensive capabilities of the Dreams creation tools have made it possible for users to create extremely accurate representations of things, and this has extended well beyond TV shows. For example, one player managed to create what is straight-up Fallout 4 in Dreams, which is an incredible feat, to say the least.
The downside to the Dreams levels based on existing IP is that they may not be long for this world. Copyright owners may not like to see their IP used to create content for Dreams, and so it's possible these levels will be removed. It's for this reason why some Dreams creators have only showed off their creations in YouTube videos instead of actually uploading them to the game's servers for other people to play. Some of the cooler Dreams creations, like the Last of Us PS1 demake, are largely unavailable because of this.
Regardless, there's still plenty to see and do in Dreams, and the game will only have more content as time goes down. Dreams has earned critical acclaim from reviewers as well, which could very well translate into more sales and even more people building their own unique creations for years to come.
Dreams is out now, exclusively for the PlayStation 4.
