PSN to Spawn New Games with Gamebryo

The wait for more original PlayStation Network games is almost over, fair PlayStation 3 fans. Sony Online Entertainment has announced that Gamebryo has been selected to help beef up the stable of PlayStation Network titles. Gamebryo and the Emergent Elements engine are behind games like The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Fallout 3, and SOE says that the partnership will help to bring developers the tools they need to speed up the game development process. Gamebryo, according to SOE, will provide a solid framework for various types of downloadable games on PSN. PS3 users will only have to wait a little bit longer, as the first of the SOE games are scheduled to launch before February’s Game Developer’s Conference.

Oblivion, Fallout Engine Now Available For Wii

The Gamebryo engine is a pretty one. It’s been used in Oblivion, and is also being employed for Fallout 3 and Warhammer Online. Which you’d think would make it totally unsuitable for Wii, right? Right! Poor little thing just couldn’t handle it. The duct tape would burst into flames! It can handle an “adapted” version of the engine, though, which engine creators Emergent Game Technologies have just announced. Don’t expect miracles, but you should expect graphics nicer than what we’ve seen on the console (Mario Galaxy excepted) thus far. You can begin with the Oblivion-for-Wii rumours….now.
