This is not the Wipeout 3 you were thinking about. It’s a family game that will be released later this year for the Kinect 360, Wii, and 3DS.

From the press release:

    Players need to gear up for all-new nerve wracking, splashtastic fun as Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. and ABC Entertainment Group announce Wipeout 3. Planned to launch this fall just in time for the holidays on Kinect™ for Xbox 360®, Wii™ from Nintendo, and Nintendo 3DS™, Wipeout 3 gets gamers back on their favorite insane obstacle course game show, complete with updated features, even more wacky characters, and all the epic wipeouts players can handle.

    “Much of Wipeout’s success has stemmed from the fact that people of all ages enjoy the show,” said Matt Kunitz, Wipeout’s Creator and Executive Producer. “We want to capture that essence with Wipeout 3 so that kids, parents, and even grandparents can plunge into this easy-to-learn, zany game.”

Microsoft’s Press Conference Early Thoughts

We’ll be heading off to the Microsoft Press Conference in a few minutes and like we said in the podcast, we’re not really sure what they’ll be showing. I predict they will be showing off Halo 4, and we’ll see something about the next Gears of War. We’ll also see a lot of Kinect stuff. I’m sure we can expect to see more information about how Windows and Xbox Live will connect up in the future.

Someone asked if there is any chance they’ll talk about their next hardware, but in my opinion, I don’t think they’ll say much. However, I do think it’s possible they’ll give it some lip service since a lot of people will be asking, but whatever they say about it, won’t be much.

I’ll update this as we get closer as it is a couple of hours before the event starts.

*UPDATE* Lots of people here so maybe we won’t be able to get good seats. I wanted to mention that I think there may be something about the new “mini” Xbox 360. We’re a little over an hour away, but we’ll keep everyone posted.

Featuring total-body motion controls, players will be able to cast, reel, set the hook and more as though there was an actual fishing rod in their hands.

One to four players will compete in exciting contests in a race against the clock. Traveling between fishing hot spots will boil down to fast paced, motor mashing player versus player races. A rapid fire, forty five seconds from cast to catch, ensures fun, quick and intense angling action. Players will drop in and out of the action with barely a pause.
