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 ... » Read More

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.

22nd Nov, 2007 Oh PS3, you really must work on this tardiness. Youre a strong student with a lot of brains, and you can produce good work when you put your mind to it, but with this persistent lateness youre not only letting us down, but youre letting yourself down too. We know youve only just joined us and that youve had to take some time to settle in, but youre really going to have to start applying yourself from now on. Nagging teacher-speak aside, just what is it with PS3 release ... » Read More

KOEI has told Eurogamer that futuristic racer Fatal Inertia will be a better game on PS3.

The company is spending more time on it after the 360 version failed to ignite critical fuses when it was released in September. According to a spokesperson for the publisher, they're polishing up technical areas and putting together a more enticing demo than Live customers were treated to.

New content is a possibility, too, although nothing concrete is known at this point.

Oh, Fatal Inertia. Once announced as a PlayStation 3 exclusive launch title by Koei, the Unreal Engine 3-powered racer eventually went multi-platform and released on Xbox 360 first, while the company struggled to get the PS3 version up to speed. The recent completion of Unreal Tournament III on PS3 means studios should have an easier time developing on Sony's hardware with Epic Games' engine, but that doesn't help the dozens and dozens of companies who have been attempting to make it work now.

Koei recently issues an updated release schedule to the media, with Fatal Inertia conspicuously absent from the list. When asked, the publisher said there was no formal release date for the futuristic racer, but they expected the PS3 version to arrive sometime in Spring 2008. There's no word on if the PS3 version will include additional content, but given the delays have been technical issues, 1UP wouldn't rule it out.

People can get a taste of the game right now, however, by logging into Xbox Live and downloading the demo.

Despite several blogs and sites confirming that there's a demo for Fatal Inertia due for PS3 tomorrow, this is not the case at all. There was clearly some confusion from the press release, but the official PR only mentions an Xbox 360 demo for FI, not a PS3 one. Confirmation from Koei that this is indeed the case at the link.

Say what you will about Koei, but their upcoming futuristic racing title Fatal Inertia has been running laps for a long time -- first as a PS3 exclusive, then multiplatform, then canceled for PS3, then canceled altogether (a brief, easily squashed rumor), now back on track for both the 360 and PS3. Not only is the title back on track, but Fatal Inertia is hitting the PS Store tomorrow (or perhaps Thursday if the scheduled updates up to now mean anything at all).

Koei's high speed, anti gravity racer has been delayed on PS3 due to "difficulties," but that hasn't stopped us strapping ourselves into the Xbox 360 version to capture this exclusive footage of Fatal Inertia's cockpit view. Using the game's Velocity race mode we zoomed around two of the game's six locations. The first, Paradise Isle, is a lush, tropical environment set in the blazing sun and littered with exotic plants and sandy beaches. The second, Lost Canyon, is a much more barren and ... » Read More

The PS3 version of Fatal Intertia has been delayed due to "difficulties" with the Unreal Engine's performance on the Sony hardware. The game was originally designed specifically for the system, yet is deemed to be "not running well enough" according to a Koei representative. The Xbox 360 version is to be released ahead of it, as delaying it further while the PS3 version is fixed wasn't deemed necessary. We'll be bringing you our hands-on impressions of the Xbox 360 version very soon. In the ... » Read More

Sci-fi racer Fatal Inertia is now a PS3 title once again, after jumping ship more times than a pirate on a pogo stick. (Rubbish joke - sorry.) The game was one of two titles that Koei chief Kenji Matsubara showed at Sony's PlayStation Premier this week, which came as a surprise after Koei canceled plans to release the game as a PS3 launch title, and had pledged it to Xbox 360 instead. So it seems the futuristic hover car racer will be making its way to a Sixaxis near you soon. July 18, ... » Read More

It's a been a strange path. Koei's futuristic racer Fatal Inertia was originally announced as a PS3 launch title. The game missed launched, and Koei later announced that it was going to miss the PLAYSTATION 3 altogether. Instead, the title would be appearing on the Xbox 360. Well! The game is back on the PS3, it seems. Koei Chief Operating Officer Kenji Matsubara took the stage at Sony's Japan press event PLAYSTATION PREMIERE 2007 and showed titles headed for the PS3: Ni - OH, BLADESTORM and Fatal Inertia. Not sure if an official announcement was made or if, you know, Fatal Inertia was just slipped back in. Here's hoping no one notices!

According to a report from SPOnG, Koei is still in development of the Fatal Inertia title for PS3, thereby allaying fears of 'indefinite delay'.

SPOnG spoke with Koei's PR rep in the UK this morning (July 3) who assured us that Fatal Inertia was still in development for PS3 and "definitely would not be canned" as a number of reports have already suggested earlier today.

Lead Game Designer Michael Bond says of Fatal Inertia, "By designing Fatal Inertia's gameplay around a physics engine it not only allowed us to create a truly different driving model, but it also helped us create a set of dynamic weapons with multiple tactical applications¿ We've based many of the game's weapons on straightforward physical principles, and by doing so we're giving players the freedom to come up with their own creative ways of using them- ways that even we are still discovering."

Earlier this week news broke that Koei has announced that the PlayStation 3 games Bladestorm: The Hundred Years War and Fatal Inertia had been delayed.

Boomtown.net spoke to Koei UK about this delay, which regions are affected and the reasons behind it.

"At the moment the development cycles have been extended simply because of all the things the developers want to do with the new hardware," Koei's Mike Foley told Boomtown. "For Bladestorm it will come out in Japan first with a little delay for localisation before it hits Europe and the US."

"For Fatal inertia we are still working towards a global release," Mike continued. "So that's why for now we've just got it down for a summer release without any definite dates for each territory. So at the moment it's safe to say that the games are targeted for a summer release in general."
