The PS3's downloadable version of a 360 racer that came out a year ago will be out on PSN June 19, developer Koei has confirmed.
Fatal Inertia is a bit like Star Wars pod racing through rocky canyons, only with magnet guns and lots of framerate issues. It didn't exactly set the world on fire on Xbox 360, but it looked okay and based on these new screenshots, EX will look even better.
EX sports "new features
KOEI has confirmed to Eurogamer that Fatal Inertia EX will arrive later in the UK and will available to purchase from the PlayStation Store on 19th June.
The aptly named Fatal Inertia was originally announced as a PS3 exclusive, then was released first on Xbox 360, and is now finally going to hit via the PlayStation Network in May. And it now has a nifty little EX at the end of it, too! After the launch of the Xbox 360 version, we had a unique situation that allowed us to reflect on what...
Fatal Inertia, the Koei racer that infamously had problems working properly on PS3 and thus bailed ship to 360, is finally coming to Sony's console... as a PSN download.
The futuristic racer, which didn't exactly set the world alight on 360, is a bit like Star Wars pod racing through rocky canyons, except with shiny cars and big magnets to shoot at your opponents. And with framerate issues on 360.
'Fatal Inertia EX' will land on
Speaking to VideoGamer.com, a Koei UK spokesperson has debunked rumours that the recently revealed Fatal Inertia EX - a PSN revamp of the 2007 Xbox 360 racing title - will be heading to Xbox LIVE Arcade. Fatal Inertia EX is only going to be released on PS3 via the PlayStation network, said the Koei rep. Fatal Inertia EX is scheduled for release on the PlayStation 3's PSN in May priced $29.99.
Fatal Inertia, the futuristic racer once meant to be a PlayStation 3 launch title, will finally arrive at its original destination next month when Koei delivers Fatal Inertia EX exclusively via PlayStation Network, MTV Multiplayer can report.Fatal Inertia EX will arrive on PSN in late May for $29.99. Koei does not intend to release the product at retail. By comparison, Sony launched Warhawk on PSN, which did have a retail component, at $39.99.
If an ESRB listing is to be believed, Koei's futuristic combat racer, Fatal Inertia, could eventually return to its point of origin. Starting life as a PlayStation 3 exclusive, the game was eventually met with a lukewarm reception on the Xbox 360 in 2007. Prospects of a PS3 release were temporarily wipEd out after Koei delayed it indefinitely due to Unreal Engine 3 issues. The mention of Fatal Inertia EX for PS3 may signal an end to these issues and hint at the arrival of an updated, possibly more EXTREME version of Koei's non-dynastic hoverfest.
