We'll be sure to keep you all posted as we learn more about the game. Our thanks to our source within Midway for the screenshots!
We've all seen the Stage Fatalities/death traps/multi-tiered stages. What we learn in this video is that this applies to every background!
Also in the video, they go in-depth with the various modes of game play. We are shown that you can place bombs in Chess Kombat, and if your opponents land on one, their piece instantly dies. Another interesting tidbit of information is on Konquest Mode. We have known for months that this mode will feature every character in the MK universe, and they specifically mention Rain will make an appearance here. (This should please many of the MK Online forum users.) Puzzle Kombat is also featured in the video.
The video itself is 7.96 MB in the Windows Media Video (.wmv) format. Start the download now over at www.gametactics.com.

Thanks to MK Online user sub0s for the tip this time!
All signs point to the eventual takeover of the venerable but limping game publisher Midway by Viacom CEO and Chairman Sumner Redstone. Such a scenario is bolstered by reports that Redstone, in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission today, said he has hired a financial advisor to evaluate options should he increase his interest in the publisher to 80 percent of its common stock from its current 72.4 percent level.As we receive more information on this news story, we will be sure to report it. To read the article in its entirety, click here.
In addition, Dow Jones is reporting that at Redstone's request, Midway will reduce the number of seats on its board of directors from eleven to eight, and that Redstone has nominated his daughter, Shari E. Redstone, to join the board.
In spite of the stock reporting 17 consecutive quarterly losses, Redstone has demonstrated unflagging interest in the company, increasing his stake in it from less than 30 percent at the beginning of the year to its current level. He now owns 49,389,066 common shares of Midway Games, including 687,600 additional shares he purchased on both Friday, June 4, and Monday, June 7.
Our thanks to forum/chat member ShingoEX for the heads-up on this news story!
We have announced a deal with Dobson, which is the ninth largest regional carrier in the United States. The other carrier deals are not announced yet. You might imagine that the carriers are picky about when we announce things. You can, and I think that's reasonable for them to do that. You can obviously buy the phone un-SIM locked, put your GMS SIM in it, so that would be AT&T, T-Mobile, Cingular or some other regional carrier, and the phone will work fine. That's the beauty of GSM.
He continues to explain how the GameSkins in general will stand up against current mobile gaming technologies that are out, or will be coming out within the next year. From the call:
During the rest of the conference call Eric provided us with a great deal of information regarding the technology behind the GameSkin itself, as well as what to expect out of this Deadly Alliance port. Coming in at 19.2 MB, we are providing a 21 minute MP3 file of the phone call.I think the way to think of this is to compare it favorably to a Nintendo GameBoy Advance. The screen's a little smaller, the processor is a lot more powerful, and you're connected. So, while we will move a lot of GameBoy Advance style games over to Identity, what you will also see is the ability to download new levels, upload scores, download new weapons, that sort of thing. But you know, I believe that the next generation game platform for the next year will be ahead of Indentity. So if you look at the Sony Playstation/Personal Playstation.. you know you can't put it in your pocket and it's not a cell phone, but it's probably a better game device. If you compare us to Nokia's N-Gage I think we win hands down. If you compare us to Nintendo GameBoy Advance, I think it's a much better gaming experience for a little older player, I guess is the way I would put it slightly. If you look at the demographics for GBA they tend to be 14 and down and our phone is targeted, for well, 15 and up.
WildSeed's GameSkin for Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance is expected to hit shelves by this summer. More information will continue to be released as we receive it.
