Wipeout: In the Zone trailer

Don’t worry, they aren’t talking about the traditional sci-fi racing series.

In the Zone is based on US TV show Wipeout, or Total Wipeout as it is know in the UK. It will have players “running, ducking, dodging and wiping out” using Kinect, says the publisher.

“The ABC hit show Wipeout continues to thrill a growing fan base of viewers with hilarious new obstacles. Everyone who watches the show wishes they could try the obstacle course – and now this is their chance!” said David Oxford, Activision Publishing. “The show is all about absurd movement and well-timed balance, so it’s a perfect fit for a Kinect game.”

As if you needed more reasons to hate motion controls.
