Fatal Inertia Comments by Robert Purchese

Star Wars Pod Racing? :-)

Looks fucking shit to me

Thanks for that.

yeah totally Star Wars! But I like it

bollocks

Wow PS3 RoXz0r!

you couldn't get CEE fokin GEE this good in the olden days, when all this was fields dag nabbit

Bad/rushed launch game, move along, nothing to see here.

This is next gen?

...

I think I need my eyes tested... that looks fudging awful...

Motion Blur-tastic!
ffs.

Looks nice. There are some more SS's around somewhere, it is coming along nicely.

Lousy name though. Sounds like a bad film title.

What a pile of bol***ks. If this is what the PS3 can do I won't be buying one. hardly a graphical breakthrough.

I thought the PS3 was meant to blitz the 360!!! don't look like that's happening anytime soon.

You've changed your tune :)

@weaselrat - just go away... please... with a cherry.

Well the environments are quite nice. The racers are just OK.

Flying through hoops truly is the pinacle of gameplay innovation.

Meh?

Yeah! Meh!

This is looking a bit more interesting now...

jedi, the cherry was nice but I just spat the pip back at you and flipped you the bird.

Does anyone think this really looks that ground breaking. I hope not, surely there is better to come otherwise people should stick with there current consoles till prices drop as there are plenty of class games left on the PS2,xbox and some on the cube.

What's the cube? Oo

And in your previous post you made it sound like this was a real representation of the power of the PS3, which is obviously trash. That's why I told you to leave.

Looking shittier and shittier as time passes. As do most PS3 games. Everything I've seen so far is starting to suggest the PS3 isn't even going to reach the 360's graphical level, let alone surpass it like everyone seems to want to believe. And this is coming from an MS/Xbox hater, mind you.

Quantum Redshift! 3 of the new screenshots look quite nice truth be told but the ones after it look very meh!

New screenies = MUCH better.

Sorry, but too much motion blur and not enough meat on the original promo renders. It's not super-wow-awesome looking now, but it's a lot better and I can see what they're trying to do.

... still, would prefer Wipeout to be given the next-gen treatment...

"Looking shittier and shittier as time passes. As do most PS3 games."

No they don't, but hey, I'm sure you'll keep telling yourself what you seem to want to believe to keep the troll train going.

As Spanky says, the quality looks uneven between the new, real shots.

ROFLMAO! The difference between final product from the target renders is absolutely hilarious! :D

The best of the canyon-level ingame shots look easily comparable to the target renders.
Granted the ingame shots dont have all that motion blur (thank god), but the background detail is basically the same and there are some nice effects going on.
Ships look a lot shinier and mabye a bit 'faker' in the ingame shots though. Mabye they should tone down the reflective effect on them?

Stil not sure if I can get excited bout the game as its unproven terretory for Koei.

Suddenly it looks alright. I thought the E3 footage was awful but this is perfectly fine. Not Wipeout but... alright.

F-Zero was a top, top game. Ground breaking for me at the time. If this can give me that much fun, I'll be impressed.

@ Razz - seen the difference between Call of Duty E3 vids and the now in game footage vids?

Happens to all consoles, I really don't know why everyone thinks its a Sony thing. It is clearly not.

Just goes to show everything was great on Quantum Redshift (apart from the ultra crap name which probably did it untold harm). The visuals don’t look any better than Xbox one was pumping out let alone xbox360. On QuantumR even as one of the earliest games , it ran 60 fps an had bump mapping even on the ships themselves, which is curious by its absence on the simple ship designs of this offering.

Curly Monsters where are you now? How about releasing a port of the QR2 prototype on xbox live market place updated for 360? Worth 800 points of anyone’s money!

At least it (fatal inertia) shares the shit naming heritage of futuristic races (bare Wipeout) , surely someone somewhere must realise if the title isn’t going to tell you much about the game it might as well be as short to pronounce as possible i.e. two syllables. Guess it hasn’t helped FlatOut much though ;-)

An please developer, do not forget the soothing female ship’s voice of “missile lock” and other forms of vocal feedback; always seems good to me in those games giving a slice of authenticity obviously stolen from me watching too many hours of discovery channel warfare coverage!

In fact looking at the one that’s red an flat, it looks more like the super old school Galaxy Force 2 from sega on system 16 using the super scaler system I think it was! Lol

Come back Power Drift all is forgiven! lol

Sounds like somekind of bowel infection.

Foetal Inertia.

If this is good, it might be the reason why I buy a PS3

Fatal Inertia - looks to be suffereing terribly from being on the UE3. The framerate on all the trailers I have seen so far looks to suck - which must be the biggest no-no ever for the genre.

Fingers crossed, Epic have not shafted them with promises of what UE3 will be able to do, the dev's have then built all the levels, and then had the pile of steaming ***dropped on their desks to run it on.

Hope it manages a smooth 30fps (60fps would be better), surely that isn't a big ask.

**UPDATE

Played the demo.

It's shit.

20 Fps max most of the time.

^Shakes head - damn you UE3!

'Hi-Octane', anyone?

Looks nearly the same.

Come back Magic Carpet all is forgiven.
