A skilled gamer uses Dreams to recreate V, the main character from Cyberpunk 2077, with exceptional attention to detail.
One talented gamer has impressively recreated V, the central character from Cyberpunk 2077, within the game Dreams. Developed by Media Molecule and initially released for the PS4 in February 2020, Dreams has gained popularity among players who use its creative tools to craft their own video games.
Thanks to its inclusion in the August 2023 PS Plus monthly games lineup, Dreams has seen a resurgence of interest from players. Fans have harnessed the powerful creator tools to design impressive levels and even complete games. Notably, the Silent Hill demo PT has been remade in Dreams, delighting players. However, Dreams isn’t limited to game creation, as some players dedicate hours to crafting static art pieces.
One such creation comes from Reddit user ApeMonkeyBoy, who has shared a video showcasing the meticulous process of constructing a V model from Cyberpunk 2077. The one-minute video reveals the extraordinary level of detail invested in this artwork, from shaping the character’s main body to perfecting nuances like the lighting on V’s collar and the artwork of the Samurai Oni mask on the back of her jacket. ApeMonkeyBoy mentions that the design was brought to life using a combination of PSVR, PlayStation Move controllers, and the PS5 DualSense controller.
Responses to the video are understandably positive, with viewers praising the level of detail achievable on PlayStation 4 software and comparing it to the official artwork by CD Projekt Red. This Cyberpunk 2077-inspired creation adds to the extensive catalog of art pieces designed within Dreams, including a tribute to The Last of Us TV show.
Just as Dreams is witnessing a surge in player numbers due to its availability on PlayStation Plus, Cyberpunk 2077 is also enjoying increased player engagement following the release of the highly-anticipated Phantom Liberty expansion. This expansion takes V on an espionage adventure away from Night City and into the region of Dogtown, where they must protect the president from sinister forces. The crossover between these two very different games is a testament to fans’ dedication in showcasing their love for both franchises in unique ways.
While Dreams is attracting more players due to PlayStation Plus, Media Molecule recently underwent layoffs as they embark on their next project. The studio has also confirmed that work on Dreams is complete and will not receive further updates. Despite this, fans continue to embrace the powerful creative software, and artwork like ApeMonkeyBoy’s rendition of V will continue to be shared.
