Article is in french, I will to try my best to summarize a few points.

- BS (BladeStorm) is scheduled for July for both PS3 and 360. FI (Fatal Inertia) llittle bit later in summer 2007
- They are studying the use of sixasix in FI but nothing has been confirmed. BS will only use it if they can find a way to use it effectively.
- They are concentrating on the single player aspect on both titles, but they could still have online play.
- They are trying to make both titles to have a demo on PS Store a month before their release.
- Still thinking about including all languages in one package (MS and Sony could influence the decision). But for BS, it seems (my interpretation) that french will be included in all package.

- FI will have 2 player split screen, maybe even 4
- FI uses UE3, BS uses Koei own engine. This allows them to compare the 2 engines.

- BS is more Kessen like then DW like (I think most people know that already)

- Ni-Oh (remember E3 2005) is still in development and is still PS3 exclusive. There was supposed to be film that comes with it but it got canned. So the development got slow down.
- They cannot comment on Gundam Musou PS3 exclusivity, because while Koei developed it, it is Namco-Bandai who holds the license.
- They don't find PS3 development particularly difficult.
- FI and BS will be priced under 60€.


I skip most of the gameplay parts....well because i am lazy and i don't think many people are interested in these 2 games.

And Fatal Inertia was going to be a 11-11 Japanese launch title, according to the latest trailer.

Only the Ni-Oh Movie was canceled. but another Question how long they develop a game?

Common Ni-Oh and Fatal Inertia are in development for over two years. That's hillarious.

Did you see the FI trailer on the European kiosk-PS3? I'm glad that they'll give us a demo to play with. It could be fun.

I sincerely can't remember what Ni-Oh was about. I'll try to dig up some E3 trailers.
