There’s no question that Koei’s futuristic racer Fatal Inertia has hit a couple bumps during development. Originally announced as an exclusive PlayStation 3 launch title, later delayed, and then reaffirmed as a multi-platform release on both 360 and the PS3.

Now, Koei revealed today that the game would be shipping to retailers on September 11 – only for the Xbox 360. What happened to the PS3 version? A Koei representative has explained to Gamespot that the PS3 version has been indefinitely delayed due to “middleware issues.”

We’ve got more than a dozen new screens of the game to look at after the jump. Certainly not good news for PS3 owners, but hey, at least you have Wipeout to look forward to.
