Dreams, Media Molecule's 2020 PS4 game, has seen countless creations of varying levels of creativity, quality, and effort since its inception. Everything from impressive breakfast food to full games have been made inside Dreams.
Dreams is intended to be a user-friendly way to build worlds and games, without the need for a high-powered PC or expensive software. Dreams has even been used to help create feature film environments, showing how far users can really push the game.
P.T., the playable teaser for Konami's Silent Hills, released nearly eight years ago, but that hasn't stopped fans from imagining what could have been. One such fan shared their efforts to create a real game based off of the P.T. Silent Hills teaser within Dreams, and the progress they've made over the last two years is impressive.
As spotted by TheGamer, Redditor DrJones20 took to the platform to share the graphical improvements they've made since their first efforts to recreate the game. The efforts are far from a waste of time. The side-by-side video demonstrates exactly how scenes have evolved over the years since Dreams' release, revealing more detailed character models, environments, and atmospheric lighting. While it's not a perfect match to the actual teaser, especially once Norman Reedus came into focus in the teaser's tag, it's very impressive to see how faithfully DrJones20 was able to recreate Silent Hill's scenes from the teaser that set the internet on fire.

While some P.T. remakes have been content to simply remake the looping hallway sequence, DrJones20 has taken it a step further in expanding the concept to an entire game. According to the game's listing, the title puts players in the shoes of Jeffrey Harper, a Brahms police officer who has been sent to Silent Hill in an effort to control a surge in homicides. Whether or not DrJones20's imagining has any similarity to the story that Hideo Kojima, Guillermo Del Toro, and Junji Ito were plotting is unknown, as any details regarding the title following its cancellation have been next to non-existent. However, fans who own a copy of Dreams can check out the reimagining now.
There's been rumor after rumor regarding the potential return for the series, with some claiming a Silent Hill reboot is in the works, while others suggest a remake. Unfortunately, nothing concrete has been revealed by Konami, so it remains to be seen if any of these rumors are legitimate. The one thing that's clear, though, is that fans have never let go of the survival horror franchise or the potential that Silent Hills could have brought to the table.
