GameSpot Releases Sheeva Bio Video From MK: Armageddon!

The folks over at GameSpot has released another video in their Official Trailer series of videos from the upcoming Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. This video, listed as Official Trailer 5, is in fact another character bio card video. This time, the featured kombatant is none other than the female Shokan warrior, Sheeva! In this video, Ed Boon discusses Sheeva's a bit about her history, including her conception as a "female Goro", to her original creation as a stop-motion model. As always, the card features a short bio of the character. From the video:

A female of the four-armed Shokan race, Sheeva once served as protector of Queen Sindel. As brutal as Goro and Kintaro, she possesses more than enough power to destroy any opponent unfortunate enough to cross her path.

The video is available to stream for anyone, and to download for registered GameSpot members. However, only GameSpot paid subscribers can download/stream the high-resolution versions. To stream and/or download the video, click here, and scroll down to Official Trailer 5.

Official MK: Armageddon Site Updated With Character Videos!

The official Mortal Kombat: Armageddon website has been updated! This time, the update is rather subtle, but important nonetheless. In the Characters section, where there had previously been a box that said video would be coming soon, there are now videos for each displayed character! The videos are relatively short, showing a single round of fighting for each character, complete with a demonstration of the characters' special moves in-game.

To see the videos, click here, going to the link marked "The Game" at the top, and then clicking "Characters".

IGN Posts Four More Videos From Mortal Kombat: Armageddon!

Over at IGN, there have been four new videos posted detailing different features and characters from the upcoming Mortal Kombat: Armageddon! One of the video is a very short advertisement, featuring people in a city watching as crimson clouds cover the sky, and the sun is eclipsed by a large MK dragon. Finally, one onlooker raises his hands and shouts the familiar cry, "MORTAL KOMBAT!!" (This is evidently where the picture of the guy on the street, hands in the air, that appeared on the question mark page came from.) The ad then finishes with scenes from the opening movie and gameplay footage.

Another video gives an overview of Kreate-a-Fatality. In this video, Mike Taran, John Vogel, John Podlasek, Mike Boon, and Ed Boon discuss the evolution and mechanics of Kreate-a-Fatality, while gameplay examples are demonstrated. One of the more amusing examples seen is when Sub-Zero, in the middle of pulling an Extreme Fatality on Shujinko, severs Shujinko's right arm and smacks his twice across the face with it.

The third and fourth videos are character cards that have not been seen before. The first one features that ever-popular Centaurian warrior, Motaro! In that video, Ed Boon, John Vogel, and Steve Beran discuss Motaro's history and how he plays in MK: Armageddon; among the things that are mentioned is the hard decision they faced in either leaving Motaro out, or bringing him in and taking away his hind legs. As always, the card also gives a short bio for Motaro. From the card:

As leader of Shao Kahn's extermination squads, Motaro proved to the emperor the Centaurs' superiority over the Shokan. During the invasion of Earthrealm, he slew many kombatants before they could oppose Shao Kahn's rule. He will slay many more in the battle to come.

The second card video features the popular ice kombatant first seen in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, Frost! The video, once again featuring Ed Boon, John Vogel, and Steve Beran, discusses Frost's origins as a character, from the desire to make a female Sub-Zero since Mortal Kombat II, to her final design as created by Herman Sanchez. Vogel even relates the heated fan reaction to Frost's inclusion in MK: Deadly Alliance, including one fan's angry mail to the team. As with all cards, Frost's bio is included in the video. From the card:

A student of Lin Keui Grandmaster Sub-Zero, Frost is a formidable young warrior. Her powers of cryomancy are extremely advanced for one so young. Headstrong and driven, her abilities are eclipsed only by her overconfidence.

The videos are available to stream and download in both Windows Media and Quicktime formats. However, only IGN Insider members can stream or download the high-resolution videos. To stream or download the videos, click here, and pick the videos marked as September 27.
