If you're anxiously awaiting new original titles for the PlayStation Network, Sony is bringing in help to satisfy your needs.
Today, Sony Online Entertainment announced that it has selected Gamebryo, the Emergent Elements engine used in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Fallout 3, to create some upcoming PSN titles. Sony described the partnership in a release as a way to bring developers the tools they need to create games faster than ever before.
"Gamebryo gives us a great deal of flexibility in creating downloadable titles for the PlayStation Network," said Shalom Mann, SOE senior vice president. "The codebase provides an solid foundation for our downloadable games framework that allows us to bring a variety of different types of games to the PlayStation Network in a fraction of the time had we coded the base engine ourselves."
The first SOE games using the Gamebryo engine are set to launch before February's Game Developers Conference and are described as being based on "gameshow IPs."
