Wow, dude! Excellent find!

Those pics are great! The chess game looks awesome! As does Nightwolfs arrow!


The pic of Scorpion using his spear on Sub looks cool, although Scorpions face looks a little different.

thanx!!! hey whos that girl fighting nightwolf???

um yeah the game looks like it got turned up a notch in the graphics department. very nice.

I really don't know. The colour she is wearing is a dark purple or blue. It's either Kitana with a new hairdo, Li Mei or an alternate costume for Ashreah imo.

As for the pic of Ashrah kicking Scorpion, she looks badass!

"thanx!!! hey whos that girl fighting nightwolf???"

i think that pic puts more oomph behind the sareena is in, li mei is out rumor.

Great Find! after talking about the fmv intro,he mentions something called an nis clip?...or somethin like that,anybody know wot that means?

Great!!!!! I very very like the new outfit of Li Mei, are totally sexy

In the screen shot with Nightwolf shooting his arrow you can clearly see the girl he's fighting has a mask on. It's visible. SO I don't think it's li mei. And why would they make ashrah's alt with a mask? Ashrah has brown hair and this girl doesn't. so..... unless it's another mileena alt costume I'm "guessing" thats kitana.

Li Mei on the other hand looks to be seen on the chess board with the purple and white boots and the purple hat.

Once again it could be another mileena alt but why would she have so many costumes?

well i'm sure at e3 most of the confusion will be cleared up on the whole game.

So it looks like Bo Rai Cho is playable from that pic. I like this bit of the interview:

"We've also reworked a few of the MKDA backgrounds and added a few new surprises. In one of them the lava will now actually damage players and another had lasers added to the perimeter for ring outs that'll slice up the loser."

"Plus the board game backgrounds themselves will be familiar to many longtime fans."

Sounds good to me, nothing like retro MK Backgrounds!

Oh and NIS, is the technical name for the in-game movie sequences using in game models, like cut scenes but not in the rendered form.

EXCELLENT FIND man, and the earthquake stage sounds excellent. The arena gets smaller and smaller till one of u dies or falls in the the new lave w/a spike...

Good stuff

Nice find. I can't wait till E3 and we get more info and screens. I want to see the character select screen.

i like this part of the interview

"The big things in general we heard were more than one fatality and better fatalities. When they see the upgraded fatality system we have now, along with multiple fatalities and a hari kari move per character I think the majority of them will be impressed."

thank you mk fans! fatalities over gameplay!

So this raises two new points:

1. Who is the girl in the purple outfit?

Personally i think this is Tanya, look at the breat plates.

2. Bo Rai Cho is playable!

1) yes

2) yes

1) It's Li Mei! Dammit!
2) Sad but true...

Thanks Cervantes!

I still don't understand if Li Mei is playable, perhaps someone got confused because of Mileena's Lui He Ba Fa style and Sai's?

Or they confused Li Mei with Tanya?

OMG I WAS JUST GETTING READY TO SAY THAT! LOL!

Yeah, I told you all they read what we have to say. If yall wouldnt have bitched over cosmetics we would been playing a deeper game come fall. It's all good though, can't way till online.

That girl in black is most likely Tanya, but she's a bit too light skinned to be Tanya so Sareena is a possibility too.

Who is the girl wearing a light pink skirt in the chess game? Is that Li Mei?

the girl looks to me like sareena and not li mei

I see why you guys are worried. Which is exactly why this part of the interview interests me the most:

What are the dev team's main goals in creating Mortal Kombat: Deception?

John Podlasek: "Our two main goals have been to expand and enhance the core fighting game,.."

I'm praying the improvements is just more than a dash and faster movement. *crosses fingers*

I just zoomed in on the Kombat Chess pic, and the female in the purple costume looks like an odd alternate or a new female fighter, it's nothing I've seen before so maybe it is Tanya's alternate. (?)

We must not forget Kira.

Kira wore a pinkish/purple outfit in her concept sketch, so it's not impossible, but why would she wear such a starnge outfit, i thought she would be another human fighter?
