	Fatal Inertia and Bladestorm have been delayed Until Summer, instead of this spring as previously planned. At least we see these developers as taking their time instead of rushing out these much anticipated titles. PRESS RELEASE Burlingame, CA – January 19, 2007 – KOEI, recognized as the premier brand of strategy and action games, today announced that FATAL INERTIA™ and BLADESTORM™: THE HUNDRED YEARS’ WAR for PlayStation®3 and Xbox 360™ videogame and entertainment system, will arrive at North American retailers this summer. “Both titles are taking advantage of new game engines and hardware. We are allowing our development teams additional time to further explore the capabilities and potential of each system by extending the product launches for a simultaneous platform release this summer,” said Amos Ip Senior Vice-President at KOEI Corporation. About FATAL INERTIA It is the 22nd century, and mankind has developed an evolutionary sport mixing high-performance street racing, rally, and demolition derby. In this brave new world of racing, gravity-defying machines tear across pristine natural environments where the beauty of nature masks the perils that wait. FATAL INERTIA boasts fast-paced single and multiplayer racing experiences with unique game dynamics and controls. Race crafts hover meters above the earth, but travel at a higher velocity as they edge closer to the ground. With racers drifting around glacial walls and hurtling alongside sheer cliffs, the game’s courses are an awe-inspiring amphitheater for combat racing. Players will customize their vehicles in a manner similar to the way present-day tuners modify their vehicles, but will have an array of futuristic hardware at their fingertips. Unconventional weapons that manipulate velocity, time and force can be used to create a variety of physics-based effects on opposing race craft. FATAL INERTIA is the debut title from KOEI’s Toronto-based development studio, KOEI Canada. The team is led by Takazumi Tomoike, creator of the Dynasty Warriors® series, and KOEI Co-Founder and Chief Advisor Yoichi Erikawa, who under the pen name Kou Shibusawa is regarded as one of the world’s top video game designers. This game is not yet rated by the ESRB. Media can find game assets at gamespress.com About BLADESTORM: THE HUNDRED YEARS’ WAR In the early half of the 14th century a quarrel with England over the succession to the French throne escalated into what history would call the Hundred Years’ War. This summer, BLADESTORM: THE HUNDRED YEARS’ WAR will bring to life the intensity and drama of a war-torn Medieval Europe with a cast of legendary characters including Joan of Arc and Edward the Black Prince. Utilizing a new game engine attainable only through the power of next generation hardware, BLADESTORM: THE HUNDRED YEARS’ WAR will recreate the fierce clashes between the armies of England and France at an unprecedented scale, where every soldier reacts individually to their immediate surroundings. Players will assume the role of a mercenary leader and strategically command, in real-time, a wide range of troops including infantry, archers, cavalry, and cannoniers. BLADESTORM: THE HUNDRED YEARS’ WAR is being developed by KOEI’s Omega Force, the team behind the award-winning Samurai Warriors® and Dynasty Warriors series. This game is not yet rated by the ESRB.

hmm.. takes a lot to make games these days.

It does take a lot to make games these days, but it takes a lot more to make Playstation 3 games, because it is a very poorly designed system that developers hate working with.

Playstation 3 has a LOT of things in common with the poorly designed Sega Saturn system, and I believe it will ultimately suffer the same fate, due to its lack of exclusive games, the lower-quality found in the PS3 versions of third-party games, the high-price, in addition to the late release dates, game delays, and game cancellations.

shut up fanboy >:[ fuck consoles pc gaming for life!!!! but hey its better than gettin a half finished game

It's KOEI. It's no big deal. We don't need you to copy and paste the same posts over and over again. KOEI!

Response to VaeVictus:

You make an excellent point, my friend. I seriously can't remember the last time I played a good game from Koei. It was probably 15 years ago...a Japanese real-time strategy game. The ones like Command & Conquer are SO MUCH better now, I don't even waste my time on Koei stuff.
