New PS3 Fatal Inertia Screens

Game: Fatal Inertia

Screenshots of Playstation 3 games continue to suggest that publishers are trying to take full advantage the PS3\'s power. Yesterday, publisher Koei released a bunch of new screenshots for Fatal Inertia, their futuristic hover racer that looks vaguely reminiscent of both F-Zero and the pod racing from Star Wars. Its gameplay emphasizes the use of physics as a tool to win races, but Fatal Inertia\'s graphics engine is evidently looking pretty good too. You can see that from the new screens.

Koei is hard at work on Fatal Inertia and here are the screens to prove it. This game is looking sharp, and these hi-res images show tons of detail in the world surrounding the racers.

Little is known about Fatal Inertia's gameplay, which is under development by a company best known for making the Dynasty Warrior and Romance of the Three Kingdoms games. Yet this futuristic racer isn't set in the past, but in a future where racing looks like a cross between F-Zero and Star Wars. While you can tell that the game is looking good from the screenshot below, you can also look forward to gameplay that emphasizes the physics engine to determine whether or not you win. This means that weapons will be things like grapnels, artificial barriers, and rock slides, and you can expect the terrain to respond to your gunfire.

Fatal Inertia is looking to be for anyone that loved F-Zero on any of the systems it came out for, but would like to see it evolve some.
