It's not often we get to report on beautiful, tearful reunions on Joystiq, so forgive us if we're a bit rusty, but here goes: Originally announced as a PS3 launch title,
Fatal Inertia will return from its stint on Xbox 360 to the waiting, open arms of PSN next month (as was
rumored in March). But, much like the ill-advised Spring Break tattoos sported by the returning prodigal son, the game will carry the brand of
EX at the end of its title. That means it's
extreme.
Expect a souped-up version of the 360 game that dropped last September, with a new training mode, more tracks and less overall difficulty. The PSN-only title will sport a $29.99 price tag when it arrives on the service in late May.

This game is utter shit.

I'll wait for Wipeout HD, thanks.

This game will be owned by Wipeout HD. Why even bother releasing them so close to each other?
Player1 @ Apr 29th 2008 3:37PM
I don't see the logic in this when Wipeout HD is on the way. I tried the 360 demo of this game and was very disappointed. I could not believe how short the tracks were. It was literally flying around in a small circle.

Ever hear of Nascar?
...is it alright if I say "zzzzzzzzing!"?

Yea this game is pretty terrible.
Fernando Rocker @ Apr 29th 2008 3:44PM
Never played this game...
It's more like Wipeout or more like F-Zero?
Martez @ Apr 29th 2008 3:50PM
It's more like shit.

It's more like that Star Wars Pod Racing thing. The game would honestly be awesome if the vehicles didn't go flying wildly about when you nudge a wall, and if the tracks were a bit longer. It has huge potential, if they address the few HUGE issues.

Not to mention that the ships bottom out constantly. It's a bit hard to take "hovercraft" racing seriously when the game's idea of a speed bump is a 50-ton boulder.

Wait, isn't this the GTA IV blog? What does this have to do with GTA IV?
Player1 @ Apr 29th 2008 4:06PM
OMG! There are stories on a game blog about a game that just came out today and is getting 10/10 reviews? Nowai!

Wipeout HD will completely demolish this sorry excuse for a clone.
Schmobu @ Apr 29th 2008 9:16PM
Wipeout is a fucking clone you tard, but then that makes this a clone of a clone, how horrible.
Sir Fidlious Wong (Zeon Defense Force) @ Apr 29th 2008 6:16PM
Not the smartest move ever. Wipeout is practically in a couple weeks after this turd squats on our doorstep...

Sony just wants to show people that it can do airship racing right.
mccomber @ Apr 29th 2008 6:37PM
At least it's coming in at a lower price, but that price is still $40 too much.
