all the following information is from the May 04 Game Informer:

There Will Be A FMV At The Begining Of Deception, Just Like In Deadly Alliance, It Will Explain The Aftermath Of Deadly Alliance, And Then The Opening Storyline For Deception.

Again The Dragon King is The Main Antagonist, And He Is Said To Be Very "Deceptive"

Returning Characters: Baraka, Mileena, Noob, Smoke, Tanya, Ermac, Nightwolf, Sindel, Kabal, Scorpion, And SubZero
(In German Mag Raiden Was Konfermed)

New Characters: Kira, a new member of the black dragon; Ben, a professional martial-arts world champion; Dairou, a ronin samurai with a settle to score; Ashrah, a demon huntress; and Hotaru.

Liu Kang, Having Been Killed In The Previos Game, Returns In Two New Forms - A Ghost And A Zombie.

They have completely overhauled the renderin system, to take the ps2 and xbox further, the xbox will have bump-mapping and a few other fullscreen effects to take advantage of its power

there is a new move called "break-out", this is to help you if some one is using a long or powerful combo against you, or is just kicking the shit out of you before you get up again

unlike MK:DA, limbs can be severed and new fatalities will take advantage of this

the environments are full of surprises, like earthquakes, breakable glass floors. you will see oponents get buried in rock avalanches, smashed with steel presses, shredded with grinders, eaten buy a giant worm, gored with spikes, shaved in to chunks, boiled in lava, impailed on stalagmites, or cut in to pieces by lasers

as said before about konquest, you will run into and can interact with every character in the history of mortal kombat, my question is how am i gonna interact with the great, but dead goro

they also have 2 sets 8 of pictures that show 2 stage fatalities

I'm curious to see how breaking or slicing limbs will affect gameplay.

Also I thought Hotaru and Dairou (sp?) are the same character with 2 names.

It’s unlclear right now if Hotaru and Dairou are 2 separate characters or the same character. If they are 2 separate characters, then I feel that these 2 samurai will have something against each other and will be the next Subzero and Scorpion in the MK world so to speak.

Also, there is a sketch of Bo Rai Cho with a costume similar to his old one in MKDA but kooler. He now has a full beard instead of just a mustache.

Kira has a black tank top on, (she has big boobs), red hair covering one of her eyes like Allyah (R.I.P.),
On the tank top there is the same symbol in a circle as Kano had on the back of his vest in MKDA.
She also wears purple/pinkish leather pants.

A tank top? Dear god, if Midway shoud have learned anything, a tank top on a character looks stupid. (MK4 liu Kang) As Jordan said, a vest (along with a sports bra, or possibly not?) would suit her much better.

I just seen the sketch of hers and she doesnt look that great but im hoping that they will fix her up along the way. I think shes looking alright so far, but needs improvements. She does look a little generic.

Head to this site to learn about bump mapping

Well now, I don't want to start a console war, but now I'm really split on what to get. If the PS2 has no bump mapping, then I'm very much gonna go take a leak on a PS2 (okay I can't afford it, so a piece of paper with the picture will do. Okay I'm to lazy to do that, I'll just write "PS2" on a paper and do that) and make sure to renew my Live service so I can beat all you guys who have never felt the touch of a woman without a credit card (yes we have tons in common here, I feel united under the banner of Scott Howell).

Bump-mapping is what they used in Halo and DOA. Instead of adding additional polygons and slowing down the frame rate they use an illusion. Take Master chief's chest plate for example. Instead of adding polygons what they do is add simulated lighting on the texture to produce shadows, which simulates depth on the texture.So on Master Chief's chest in Halo 2 his chest vents are darkend in on the bottom to show that the top is sticking out and causing a shadow.
