Fatal Inertia better on PS3 (News)

Nov 22, 2007

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.

Fatal Inertia PS3 Coming Spring 2008 (News)

Nov 21, 2007

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.

Sep 12, 2007

Sept 12, 2007 The Xbox 360's garage is outrageously well-stocked with racers, yet Koei has spied a gap in this market, hence Fatal Inertia - what initially looks like Koei's answer to Wipeout but transpires to be more like a, well... rubbishy futuristic version of Diddy Kong ...

Fatal Intertia - video + preview (Preview)

Jul 24, 2007

Fatal Inertia. The name conjures up images of high-speed, danger-fuelled racing. A game so fast and exciting, you'll never want to play another racer again. And, if ever a game ever looked like delivering that in its screenshots, this is it. Fast, explosive and exciting. But the reality doesn't seem to be any of those things, at least after our first couple of hours playing it. Truth is, the near-finished build of Fatal Inertia we've got here seems a bit dull. The game plays very much like ...

Fatal Inertia crawls back to PS3 (News)

Jul 18, 2007

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, ...
