Quick Look: Wipeout: In The Zone

Welcome to the Xander Zone

I've watched all of this and loved it

My body is ready!

Wipeout games are fun. The Quick Looks are even more fun. 

You can't top the first Wipeout QL, but that was a solid effort horrible.

They should honestly burn this QuickLook and pretend it never happened.

Good Morning Quicklook! I see Ryan and Vinny and Wipeout, Oooooh Man!

Love Vinny's black t-shirts.

You know this guy!

BIG BALLS!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

KInect and Avatars are so lame. The combination of them furthers the lameness.

FUCK YES RYAN AND VINNY WIPEOUT TEAM #1

hopes this is just as good as the Wii wipeout games quicklook!

Screen capture for the video sold me for the video, and I didn't even need selling of a Quick Look (especially a Kinect/Wii/PSMove Quick Look).

Hoping for a Red Box release so I can play this for a night for 2 bucks and then return it.  That looks about what it's worth.

are vinny's kinect controls inverted

A preview image for the ages.

The commentators really could use some more lines in this game.

I am definitely not a fan of hovering your hand over a menu choice for 2 seconds. That time adds up.
 
Wipeout also fails to be as good as Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. For me the obstacles don't present the same amount of humor.
 
"It's kinda there, it's close."
No Ryan, we can see the motions you were making while playing and it wasn't really that close. Yet another game that would probly just have been better made to play with a controller.

Ending with a game crash is always funny.

if this is half as good as the other wipeout quick look, im sold

what's better than listening to a wheezing ryan davis?

No, it's ok, they have a line acknowledging that they don't have many lines. That totally excuses it being really bad if they let us know that they know it's really bad.

This game looks flawed, but Ryan and Vinny also seemed to be having fun despite themselves.

I wouldn't mind getting this....but not for full price.

Vinny Carabelly

Wow, this looks exactly like Doritos Crash Course. Camera angles and everything. Not the same developer, though. And, uh, Crash Course looks to be of much higher quality.

Why does this look like the most compelling Kinect game I've seen?

Vinny should be happy... It appears this game has a ledge grab (you see it near the end of the final run). I bet he didn't expect to give this game any 1-UP's over Alice! :D

Oh this is brilliant, I can tell already.

I wouldn't expect a high level of fidelity in a game like this. Even if it wasn't licensed shovelware, it would be a bit too physically demanding if they weren't fudging the the interpretation of your movements.

Dear Kinect, more Child of Eden, less Wipeout please.

At first I was sad that this wasn't Wipeout, the futuristic racing series. But then I saw the screen-grab for the video.

Whoever picks the screenshot for these videos is a mad genius.

It's funny how WIPEOUT is like a real-life PS1 platformer

That menu select sound is disgustingly ... moist.

Unlike the Wii version, this just looks bad bad! Instead of bad funny!

Kinect is so unbelievably awkward. Why not voice commands for some of the menu stuff? I'm literally straining with my mind trying to help them get to that hover point.

I love Vinny, tears in my eyes.

"What? I'm just hanging out here"

I love quick looks that end with the game crashing.

White men can't duck?

End it with a bang

Love some Vinny and Ryan shenanigans in the morning. Made this crappy work day a little easier to digest.

Good to know kinect is still being kinect.

I just realized how little time Vinny spends in front of the camera. I started the video and thought, "oh yeah, that's what Vinny looks like."

That thumbnail is amazing.

There are like 5 lines of commentator dialogue in this game.

Agreed completely. It seems like such a SIMPLE addition to these games -- why don't developers use it?

With a preview image like that, how can I NOT watch this video?!

No interest in the game but I do enjoy the effort on these 2 guy's parts. them was some nasty hits towards the end.

Is there a definitive list of QL's that have ended with crashed games?

Vinny belly.
