SOE teams with Gamebryo for PSN game shows

by Ross Miller { Jan 7th 2008 at 2:45PM }

PlayStation Network titles "based upon gameshow IPs" are being developed by Sony Online Entertainment using Gamebryo middleware and will be released before next month's Game Developers Conference.

Gamebryo, owned by Emergent Game Technologies, has been previously used for games like Civilization IV and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. No word on what game shows will be used, and there is no indication that these projects began before this year. Given the quick turnaround with the titles, we're not anticipating AAA effort. However, should Deal or No Deal end up being one of the "gameshow IPs," then we expect to see HDR rendering on Howie Mandel's dome.

Barker is out, Carey is in.

The Price Is Right sucks without Bob Barker. There I said it.

Agreed. Bob Barker owned all game show hosts.

EVEN HOWIE MENDALL!

I really hate to admit this but I would totally pay $10 for 500 Wheel of Fortune puzzles.

Kazi @ Jan 7th 2008 3:33PM

I must not know what puzzles are because I've never seen one on The Price is Right.

Kazi @ Jan 7th 2008 3:34PM

I must not know how to read. Because you said Wheel of Fortune, not Price is Right.

Price is Right does not strike me as a very home console style gameshow. And since the original article said this...

"No word on what game shows will be used, and there is no indication that these projects began before this year."

I can say what I'm hopeful for. Few gameshows entertain me. In fact, none do. But since I will never see my You Don't Know Jack DLC loving, I can eagerly away Wheel of Fortune on the cheap. Only reason why I haven't bought it on consoles yet is $30 seems step, $10 seems perfect.
