KOEI's
Upgraded
Futuristic
Racer Coming
Exclusively
to
PLAYSTATION®
Network
Burlingame,
CA – April
30, 2008 -
KOEI,
recognized
worldwide as
the premier
brand of
strategy and
action
games, today
announced
that Fatal
Inertia®EX
will be
available at
the end of
May 2008
exclusively
on
PLAYSTATION®
Network, and
only for
PLAYSTATION®3
computer
entertainment
system.
“We’re
really
excited
about what
we’ve
accomplished
with Fatal
Inertia EX,”
said Mike
Bond, lead
game
designer for
Fatal
Inertia EX.
“Gamers will
be amazed by
all of the
improvements
we’ve made.
Fatal
Inertia EX
is a faster,
more
visually-captivating
experience
packed with
new content
not found in
the
original.”
Fatal
Inertia EX
features a
never-before-seen
environment
exclusive to
the
PLAYSTATION
3 system.
Situated
amidst
scorching
desert
dunes, the
Fatal
Inertia
Proving
Grounds is a
mecca for
aspiring
flight jocks
driven to
prepare
themselves
for the
mental and
physical
punishment
of
low-altitude
combat
maneuvering.
Along with
offering a
restructured
training
curriculum,
the Proving
Grounds are
also home to
the game’s
eight new
tracks.
A re-tuned
flight model
improves
handling and
achieves
higher
speeds than
previously
seen. Flight
controls
take
advantage of
the
DUALSHOCK®3
wireless
controller
and give the
optional use
of SIXAXIS™
motion
sensing
technology.
The game’s
newly-added
“Master”
level Quick
Races will
push the
fastest men
and women to
their limit.
Fatal
Inertia EX
delivers
heightened
visuals
which
include new
weather
effects,
significant
scenery
enhancements,
and an
overhauled
garage for
racecraft
customization.
Spread
across 59
courses in
seven exotic
high-definition
environments
including
lush
rainforests,
massive
glacier
fields, and
canyons of
razor-sharp
rock, the
beauty of
Fatal
Inertia EX
could easily
mask the
harrowing
thrills in
this
high-speed
contest of
champions.
ABOUT FATAL
INERTIA®EX
FOR
PLAYSTATION®3
Set in the
middle of
the 22nd
century
Fatal
Inertia EX
is an
evolutionary
sporting
event that
draws from
the combined
disciplines
of rally
racing,
demolition
derby, and
tactical air
warfare. In
this brave
new world of
combat
racing,
players
pilot their
gravity-defying
machines
through the
untamed
wilderness,
while
unconventional
weapons move
and react to
realistic
principles
of physics
and
magnetism
rather than
follow
pre-scripted
motions.
Fatal
Inertia EX
delivers a
glimpse into
the future
of racing in
stunning
720p HDTV
and in-game
Dolby®
Digital
audio.
Multiplayer
features
include
split-screen
two-player
races,
online and
LAN races
for up to
eight
players,
plus
leaderboards.
This game is
rated “E10+”
(Everyone 10
and older -
Fantasy
Violence) by
the ESRB.
Fatal
Inertia EX
is developed
