PS3 version of Fatal Inertia superior to 360 release

Posted on November 23rd, 2007 at 10:35 EDT

KOEI has revealed that Fatal Inertia will be a superior title on Sony's PS3 than it was on the 360.

Originally a PS3 exclusive game, Fatal Inertia met numerous delays as the team struggled with the Unreal Engine.

Fatal Inertia released last September for the 360, and was frankly underwhelming, failing to achieve critical acclaim. They're back to the drawing boards to iron out the kinks and release an improved futuristic racer than Microsoft's machine saw.

Apparently, they're "polishing up technical areas and putting together a more enticing demo than Live customers were treated to." No word yet if any new content will make it into the PS3 version, though it has been acknowledged as a possibility.

The title is set to release sometime in 2008.

They still need to make a compelling game like it was originally envisioned. the version as it is now seems narrow and myopic at best in comparison, no better than any other futuristic racer. It's not just the programing flaws that ruined it it's the poor design aswell which seemed to happen around the same time they switched to the UT3 engine.

They'd have to say that though. Being as "Fatal Inertia released last September for the 360, and was frankly underwhelming, failing to achieve critical acclaim. They're back to the drawing boards to iron out the kinks and release an improved futuristic racer than Microsoft's machine saw."

With WipEout HD on the horizon, they had better shape up or it's going to be a walk-over. As it is now, I'd take the PSN title over this any day of the week.

psn id: gingo... i doubt they can completely overhaul the game and make it a good game because it is miles away from wipeout standard but if they manage to improve it a lot i will be extremely impressed

So..?

The delays for the PS3 version were good delays, the longer it takes to do it, the better the end product. XD

We better get a demo for this. Judging by the 360 one, it wasn't even worth a rental.  They will probably have some competition, hoping that Wipeout HD comes out too.

I hope this will make companies realize that multi-platforming a game can actually hurt it.

ATTENTION ALL PS3 OWNERS: I am calling for a Boycott of the game "The Orange Box".

The game will run at a pathetic 30 frames per second. Valve team dumped the PS3 development off on an internal EA development team so Valve could focus on the Xbox360 version. Gabe Newell hates the PS3. He's been killing the Sony console all year in the media. They obviously don't care about the PS3 and the quality of the product that they give PS3 owners.

I can't put all the blame on Valve. EA needs to take some of the heat for this as well. They gave us a disgusting excuse for a game in Madden 08. Another 30fps disaster.

All PS3 owners need to unite on this. If we don't, it will never end. Gabe Newell needs to get hit in the pockets. Boycott "The Orange Box"! Do NOT buy anything that Gabe Newell is a part of. He is cheating his art and he is cheating PS3 owners. Let's show Gabe Newell, Valve & EA that we do matter. We are the only reason that game companies exist. If we stop buying crap, they will stop making crap.

Don't give your money to people that don't care about you! Boycott The Orange Box!

Thanks, Superdynamite

So Koei shafts us by taking away the exclusivity, then shafts us again by releasing the xbox version first, and now they expect us to buy it? wow...

Have KOEI ever actually made a good game?

Boycott all half-baked games.  I just bought Call of Duty 4 because it is an awesome game and Infinity Ward took advantage of the PS3.  I'll grab the Orange Box for the PC but that's it.  Like I did for the PS2, I'll probably grab only exclusives with the exception of Oblivion and the just bought COD4.  That's why I like the PS: for its exclusives.

With the progression of games right now, it in a sense overshadowed this game's in comparison with those futuristic racer expectations. I don't know we will have to wait and see.

Better than the 360 version??That sounds interesting.Why will it look better than the 360 version, is it because the ps3 hardware is superior or it is because they have had more time to work on the ps3 version??It will be intersting to know which console is really superior and this will be expressed primarily by the quality of games available on the consoles.So KOEI go ahead n show me this
