To Celebrate the Occasion, here are a Couple of New Screenshots courtesy of Gaming Site, 'IGN'. These Images, much Like the Ones we Shared with you before, Show off someof the Game's Aspects that has Endeared it to Fans even Prior to its Release. Tell us, who Can Ever Say "No" for a Chance to Ride a Fire-Breathing Dragon ?

Also, "Rohn" (the Name of your In-Game Character) can Take the Dragon to the Air and Wreck Havoc from there or even Let it Land on the Ground and Impose its Massive Physique on the Enemies. Of course, this is Easier Said than Done because of the Many Obstacles you will Meet in the Game, Not to Mention the Emerging Dangerous Volcanoes.

After 'Quake's' Attempted Mainstream Sellout and Failure, you'd Think that other FPS Devs would Have Learnt a Lesson. However it Seems 'Epic Games', probably Influenced by Restrictive Console Controls and 'Halo'/ 'Gears of War' Dominance, is Continuing the Trend of Dumbing Down Gameplay to reach a Wider Audience. Taking the 'Common People want Average Things' Route.

"Burlingame, CA -- August 31, 2007 -- KOEI, recognized worldwide as the premier brand of strategy and action games, announced today that Fatal Inertia has reached gold status and will be available at retailers throughout North America beginning the week of September 11, 2007, for the XBox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.

When Fatal Inertia ships, the game will include 8-player racing on XBox LIVE or on System Link, over 1.3 million race craft customization combinations plus 15,000 performance combinations, 51 courses across 6 distinct racing environments, and 50 XBox Achievements.

A free demo of Fatal Inertia is available now exclusively on XBox LIVE Marketplace. The demo offers single player and split-screen two-player “Combat races” as well as high-speed “Velocity races” from the game’s Exhibition and Elite racing leagues.

 

About Fatal Inertia

In the middle of the 22nd century mankind’s thirst for excitement has spawned an evolutionary sporting event that draws from the combined disciplines of rally racing, demolition derby and high-performance aeronautics. In this brave new world of combat racing, gravity-defying machines are no longer confined to the speedways and stadiums of centuries past. In this grand spectacle of racing, the amphitheatre where drivers must prove their superiority is the untamed wilderness.

Through harsh environments spanning dense rainforests to immense glacier fields, and canyons of razor-sharp rock there is little room for error as drivers will reach speeds of over 500 mph. But Fatal Inertia is not merely a test of speed. The brave men and women who choose to compete must face the mental and physical punishment of low-altitude combat maneuvering.

In Fatal Inertia each craft will be armed with a unique array of unconventional weapons that manipulate velocity, force and even time. Explosive magnets that impact race craft stability and rockets that can counter thrust and velocity are just some of the dangers drivers must face. But with each race craft hovering just a few feet from the earth, any misguided attempts to evade or dislodge these weapons can result in total (if not fatal) disaster.

Fatal Inertia is the debut title from KOEI’s Toronto-based development studio, KOEI CANADA. The team is led by Producer 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.

Powered by the award-winning Unreal Engine 3 from Epic Games, Fatal Inertia boasts fast-paced single and online multiplayer experiences, sixteen racing series, six distinct racing environments, plus full race craft customization. Fatal Inertia delivers a glimpse into the future of racing in stunning 720p HDTV and in game Dolby Digital audio. This game is rated “E10+” (Everyone 10 and older - Fantasy Violence) by the ESRB. Press can find (watermark-free) assets at www.gamespress.com .

Scientists at 'IBM' said on Thursday that they Had Moved Closer to Developing Ultra-Tiny Storage Devices (imagine 30,000 Full-Length Movies on an 'iPod') by Learning how to Steer Single Atoms in a way that could Create Building Blocks for such Hard Drives. Understanding and Manipulating the Behavior of Atoms is Critical to Harnessing the Power of Nanotechnology, which Deals with Particles Tens of Thousands of Times Smaller than the Width of a Human Hair: "One of the most basic properties that every atom has is that it behaves like a little magnet", said Cyrus Hirjibehedin, a Scientist at 'International Business Machines Corp.'s' Almaden Research Center in San Jose, California, in a Phone Interview. "If you can keep that magnetic orientation stable over time, then you can use that to store information. That is how your hard drive works. What we are trying to understand is how this fundamental property works for a single atom." Hirjibehedin and Colleague, Andreas Heinrich, Studied this Property — known as Magnetic Anisotropy — in Individual Iron Atoms using a Special Microscope developed at IBM. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Problem is a so-Called 'VRAM' Bug, Concerning All nVIDIA Cards of the 'GeForce 8' Series, more precisely, it's Caused by Programming Errors in the Memory Management. Hence it Reduces Performance with said Cards and Prevents them from Unfolding their Full Potential - Due to the Massive Amount of VRAM of the '8800 GTS 640' / '800 GTX' / '8800 GTX Ultra'; these Cards are Not Affected, because the Memory is by Far Not Stressed as Much as with the other Mentioned Cards.

Although, with Forceware v163.44, the VRAM Bug could Not be Fixed Completely, its Effects could be Reduced. Therefore, further Performance Boosts can be Expected with Future Driver Releases.

 

'PC Games Hardware' has Been Testing the Driver and Sums up their Test Results:

"By now, we can recommend the newest driver to all nVIDIA users, after seeing the test results. With the GeForce 7 series, the Forceware v163.44 driver is slightly faster than the previous versions and does not introduce any new problems. With the GeForce 8800 GTS/320 however, the results could be easily called a performance explosion. The new driver increases the card's performance by no less than 48 percent, compared to the Forceware 162.18 drivers (under Windows XP). In the case of Windows Vista x64, it's still 25 percent, with 32 bit it's only 13 percent."  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'Microsoft' Released a Patch for Windows Vista 32-Bit on the recently Arranged 'Patch Day', which Aims to Improve Compatibility with 3D Games and Reduce System Crashes. Especially S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is said to Benefit from the Hotfix and the Number of Crashes should be Greatly Decreased. As per 'Heise' (a Deutshland Website), similar to the Forceware Driver which was Released Yesterday, the Memory Management is the Problem, but in this Case it's only Concerning Vista 32-Bit.

 

With 'Windows XP', All Programs Manage the Used Memory Themselves, whereas under Vista the Used Memory is Managed by the Video Memory Manager and, Due to a Programming Error, this can Cause Reduced Performance or even Crashes.
