Just a week ago, news broke out that Sony was kind of begging developers not to abandon its struggling platform. The thing is that the PS3 has started to move, now that the holiday season is approaching and so SCEE is extending its collaboration with Playlogic Game Factory, for a certain project that they don't want to disclose for the time being. Obviously the fruits of an extended partnership should mean more than one game for the PS3.

But what games? Sure enough, Playlogic has the technology to develop good software for Sony's pretentious machine, but they're mostly known to have rolled out games such as Obscure II and Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales, which didn't exactly blow anyone's mind away on PC. We're not hinting that SCEE now is left with fewer developers to work for its machine, but Playlogic doesn't sound like the answer to the PS3's problems. Then again, nothing does. Not until Sony provides everyone with the necessary development tools to ease up the process, anyway.

"Over the past two years we have build a great relationship with SCEE" said Playlogic Executive VP Rogier W. Smit, "We have solid development assets and resources at our disposal at our in-house facility in the Netherlands and have the ability to deliver quickly. Having received the opportunity to continue this relationship is a testimony of the work we deliver."

Igor Frid, Managing Director of Playlogic Game Factory B.V. said: "The cooperation between SCEE and Playlogic Game Factory has proven to be very successful. We deliver high quality products using flexible and innovative development methodologies which enable us to develop innovative titles in close cooperation with SCEE London Studio."

This is the third development agreement that Playlogic signs with SCEE. The project will be developed at Playlogic's in-house studio Playlogic Game Factory B.V. over a period of seven months, with an option of extension of another six months, according to the report. The project and its content is to remain undisclosed until SCEE decides it's safe to talk.
