13 Bold Gaming Predictions For 2019

4. Dreams Is A Commercial Flop

It's safe to say that Media Molecule's upcoming sandbox creation suite Dreams is one of the most ambitious games of the generation, but given its incredibly long gestation period, it's reasonable to be sceptical of the developer's ability to fully deliver on their promises.

Though impressions of the closed beta are currently under NDA, the beta will open up for everyone on January 8th, after which time we'll have a clearer picture of exactly how the game is shaping up.

But regardless of Dreams' actual quality, it's easy to imagine the game struggling to break-out commercially or even replicate the modest success of the company's LittleBigPlanet games.

Though Dreams will naturally be marketed as a PSVR-seller, it could end up one of the most depressing commercial failures of 2019, especially if it's as great as it looks yet doesn't capture mainstream interest.
