KOEI delays two PS3 titles News
PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
KOEI has announced that PS3 titles Bladestorm and Fatal Inertia, originally scheduled for March, will now launch in summer 2007.
We're told the development teams simply need more time to get the games ship-shape.
Maybe so, but perhaps the recent revelation that both games are also on their way to Xbox 360 has something to do with the date slide.
Fatal Inertia is a futuristic racing game from KOEI's Canadian studio, which aims to make clever use of spectacular weapons and physics to disrupt other racers' progress. Originally a launch title for the console, it's now neither on time, nor exclusive.
Bladestorm is put together by KOEI's Omega Force team, the button-mashers behind Dynasty Warriors, and takes place during the Hundred Years War. Play as England or France, command bucket-loads of troops, and create massive carnage.
Be sure to check out our gamepages for Bladestorm and Fatal Inertia, veritable treasure troves they be.

If there's no PS3s in Europe and the ones in the US and Japan haven't sold many yet, it's just common sense that PS3 publishers would want to delay their games as long as possible. They'll make more money that way.

Exactly. A shiny next gen title is mighty expensive, and current PS3 software sales number are... let's not go there, but as a developer you want to at least have the money back the title cost you. 300000 titles sold through at 49.95$ to break even was something that recently made the rounds for a next gen title. To get there after launch (where you might get lucky because of less competition from other titles), is certainly no cakewalk.

"Less and less reason to buy a PS3..."
Well, this is just the danger of low sales at launch: publishers desert the platform because they can't sell enough to make a profit, which makes even fewer people buy the console, which makes even more publishers desert you. Imagine how much more quickly the GameCube would have sunk if it hadn't been manufactured by one of the largest game publishers in the world. |
