Koei’s Fatal Intertia didn’t revolutionise racing on the Xbox 360 as we know it—in fact, it was received as pretty mediocre. But now the full game—formerly offered as a normal Xbox 360 retail release—will be coming to PSN for download. (Originally, the game had been planned for PS3 but the team had issues during production.) Redubbed Fatal Inertia EX, the game adds eight new training tracks to ease the intense learning curve. Coming in late May for $US29.99, downloadable releases could be an inexpensive method to bring games that potentially underperformed on the 360 to the PS3. Here’s hoping we see PSN ganking more full, downloadable titles at budget prices.
Exclusive: ‘Fatal Inertia EX’ Arrives Via PlayStation Network Next Month [MTV Multiplayer]
Remember Koei’s futuristic racer Fatal Inertia? It was the one-time PlayStation 3 “exclusive” that missed that console’s launch, only to become an Xbox 360 “exclusive” by default, then re-announced for a release on Sony’s console, with the Koei Canada team constantly reminding us of the problems it was having with Unreal Engine 3. Still doesn’t ring a bell does it? Might have something to do with it being a middling racer, a poor man’s WipEout that was met with a collective “meh”.
