Cyberpunk 2077 Recreated As PS1 Game In Media Molecules Dreams

Crafty creators continue to push Media Molecule’s Dreams to the limit, having most recently recreated the upcoming sci-fi RPG Cyberpunk 2077 as a PS1 game. Much like its inspiration, the fan game has yet to release, but what’s been shown off looks like an exciting reinterpretation of Night City’s neon-bathed bleakness.

Cyberpunk 2077, the most anticipated title to come from The Witcher developer CD Projekt Red, is still a few months from its April 2020 release, and the years-long hype for the game’s arrival has reached a fever pitch. Since dazzling the world and inadvertently flooding the internet with Keanu Reeves memes at least year’s E3 showcase, Cyberpunk 2077 single-handedly propelled the developer’s stock growth to surpass that of any other company on the European market, and its surrounding excitement is spilling over into other products. PS4-exclusive Dreams, developed by Media Molecule of Little Big Planet fame, allows creators to unleash their imaginations with its robust game creation tools, so it follows that a retro-inspired ode to Cyberpunk 2077 may be available for play before the genuine article hits store shelves.

Talented Dreams creator Bearly Regal unveiled his latest work on Friday with a trailer of a functional PS1-era demake of Cyberpunk 2077’s core premise and setting. Though not yet in Dreams players’ hands, the brief showcase of the aptly named Cyberpunk 1997 reveals his most ambitious fan game yet. Mirroring an earlier trailer from CD Projekt Red, the demo footage takes players on a short tour through the player character’s apartment and immediate surroundings. The first section plays out in first-person view, but a brief drive through Night City shifts to a top-down perspective that hearkens back to the Grand Theft Auto series’s infancy. Despite a faithful dedication to PS1 limitations like flat, textured character sprites and static loading screens, the demake boasts that it will feature a fully customizable apartment, “hundreds of characters, missions, and vehicles,” and a full-fledged game world and story that “adapt to your playstyle.”

While it’s not exactly clear how many of those promises Bearly Regal will feasibly be able to deliver upon using only the limited – but undeniably impressive – toolset offered by Dreams when or if Cyberpunk 1997 comes to full fruition, the flexibility demonstrated by this demake’s visuals, setting, and two distinct gameplay styles warrant a round of applause on their own. Though the trailer is devoid of much player action, it still looks a sight better than some other Cyberpunk 2077-inspired works. Unsurprisingly, this isn’t the first footage of Cyberpunk 1997 that Bearly Regal has put out during its development, with a previous video having shown off his creative process and early test footage of the first-person section back in Juy 2019.

There’s no question that a Dreams-made demake being pieced together by a single fan can’t live up to the technical wonder and large scale of Cyberpunk 2077’s world, nor should it. From what’s been shown so far, it’s a fascinating níche experiment that’s sure to play on the cruel, sleek motifs of the Cyberpunk franchise in ways that its big budget counterpart might gloss over or differently interpret, and whatever comes of Bearly Regal’s experimental blend of nostalgia and modernity seems more than worth keeping a tab on.
