The real kick in the pants in all this is that the game was once a PS3 exclusive.

One of Koei's once PS3 exclusive games now seems to be headed to the 360 exclusively. Today, Koei released some screenshots and announced that their futuristic racer Fatal Inertia will hit retailers September 11th on the Xbox 360 console. But oddly enough developer Koei didn't mention any PS3 release date for the game. Surely it was a PR mistake, how could they forget about the PS3 version to which it was once exclusive to? Well, the Wired Blog crew contacted Koei to get an official response about the status of the PS3 version. Koei responsed by stating that the PS3 version is "delayed indefinitely" due to "progress of the game engine for PS3". Interesting enough, seeing that Fatal Inertia uses the Unreal Engine 3. No matter, September 11th is the street date on the 360 and that's all that matters.

if you would read your own post then you would know why this game is a 360 timed exclusive or exclusive... not a real big game though..

I wouldnt trust a blog calles X360fanboy .But it could be true ,the PS3 version being delayed I mean .But there have been recent trailers for this game in the PS3 in the japanese store so I would highly doubt a definite canning of the game.

It's a part of the Joystiq network, the same story will probably be on Joystiq and PS3fanboy in a little bit...

And how does delayed indefinately read as timed exclusive?

Whenever I see a game developer use the words "delayed indefinately" I usually think "cancelled" but maybe it will still come out later this year or sometime next year.

did anyone read the article including the original poster?? the game got delayed indefinitely because this game uses unreal engine 3... sony has payed epic money to get the unreal engine to work better on the ps3... so they delayed the game...

Sony should absolutely be terrified after hearing this line.

Here is the article the site references. As URNotE has pointed out, Epic and Sony are tweaking the Unreal Engine 3, so this game has been delayed for the PS3. Basically, the are making a custom Unreal Engine based off of 3 that will utilize the SPUs and RSX better. My guess, they will somehow incorporate the new Edge tools. Should be interesting, although I do consider this more "bad" press of losing yet another exclusive for Sony.

All in all it is not a big game, but looks like another case of a game coming to 360 first then to PS3 down the line which is definitely a negative just not a significant one for Sony.

Wired blogged about this too:

A priceless comment there:

"This can't be right. The PS3 has had fatal inertia since it was released :)"
