Fatal Inertia EX Coming to PlayStation Network Next Month

Once ment to be a PlayStation 3 launch title, then switched over to the Xbox 360 as a really bad game, and now an upcoming revamped PlayStation Network download. The new game, titled Fatal Inertia EX will arrive on the Network in late May for a mere $29.99. KOEI does not intend to release the game on Blu-Ray disc however.

“After the launch of the Xbox 360 version, we had a unique situation that allowed us to reflect on what could be done with the PlayStation 3 version,” said lead producer Mike Bond in an e-mail interview with Multiplayer. “But having watched the growth of the PlayStation Network’s user base and the game’s multiplayer component, we felt the strength of this game would be in its online community.”

Fatal Inertia EX will come with many new featuers and gameplay tweaks.

“We’ve experienced quite a few growing pains over the last 3 years, as a team and as a studio,” said Bond. “Back in the summer of ’05, we were a very young, very small team assigned with the challenge of developing a next-generation game for a completely new platform.”

Fatal Inertia EX Listed for PlayStation 3 Under ESRB

A new ESRB listing has shown a sign of hope for Fatal Inertia on the PlayStation 3. What was originally supposed to be an exclusive is now showing up on the PlayStation 3 as Fatal Inertia EX. Fatal Inertia didn't do so well on the Xbox 360. Hopefully this new EXTREME version will correct all the faults the Xbox 360 version gave and hopefully it will regain is credits as a good futuristic racer.

Fatal Inertia Better on the PLAYSTATION 3

KOEI has told Eurogamer that the upcoming futuristic racer (already released on 360) Fatal Inertia will be a better on the PLAYSTATION 3 than it was on the Xbox 360.

The company is spending more time on it after the Xbox 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 Coming to PLAYSTATION 3 Spring 2008

Koei recently issued 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 PLAYSTATION 3 version to arrive sometime in Spring 2008.

There's no word on if the PLAYSTATION 3 version will include additional content, but given the delays have been technical issues, 1UP wouldn't rule it out.

Fatal Inertia Demo Coming Tomorrow [Update]

The Fatal Inertia demo should be hitting the PlayStation Store tomorrow, or perhaps Thursday (due to scheduled updating). Once you get it, you can go on and complain how the 360 one will be better and how we got the lower end just like Madden 08. Anyways, enjoy the demo when it comes out.

UPDATE
The press release was misread, The Sixth Axis contacted KOEI and they responded:

'The demo is only on Xbox Live today. The PSN one will follow when the PS3 version is ready.'

All that needs to be said. At least we know we will be getting it.
