I'm kinda surprised that no one has posted about this already, but I guess with all of the E3 stuff, this might've been forgotton about. Earlier tonight at 11pm ET on Tech TV's show X-PLAY, Sessler and Webb previewed Midway's games at E3, complete with a nice preview of MK:D.
While the preview looks to be many things we've all seen in the trailers, it's chocked full of actual gameplay footage, and it's not on some tiny, skippy littly box on your CPU.
Note, skip down until after this box if you want to watch the preview for yourself on the show I just mentioned at 4pm tomorrow. They re air the 11pm show then. (I'm sorry, but can I tell people about when they can see the preview? Or is that advertising? I'm unclear on that)
------------------------------------------------
The preview starts off with Baraka doing a blade combo on a guy that's wearing reddish brownish pants and a greyish black flap that hangs down below his back that had a red symbol on it. There was a red symbol on his back as well. Honestly, and I'm sure it wasn't Kano, but it looked alot more like him than Ermac.
Briefly you see scorpion knocking ermac across the circular arena with the yellow glass floors, followed by Ashra doing her Kung Lao spin on pony tail sub-zero, Li Mei (in blue) kicking Ermac in what looks like the Netherbelly, and then one of the coolest things: Scorpion knocks Bo Rai Cho (who had his stick weapon from MK:DA) up through the yellow glass ceiling where he flies across it and crashes through the floor back the level he started on (!)
After this we are treated to Hotaru's fatality wher he grabs the person by the leg and slams them around until they explode (the victim was ermac). This was followed by Bo Rai Cho performing his fire breathing fatality on a black ninja that I could swear was wearing white pads. This is followed by Mileena ripping off Subbys head and Li Mei punching Noob. However, this is interrupted by a guy that I'm 99 percent sure is Cyrax doing a hari kari (he snapped his own neck). The guy had a very metalic look to him, and although his outfit looked more samauri like Hotaru or something, he had cyrax's helmet, or at least the yellow mouth part of it.
A few background fatalities are then shown. Kenshi kicks Li Mei into the lava press, followed by Ermac smacking Noob into the grinder we've all seen before. Then they show some background stuff getting destroyed. The guy that's either Noob or Skab hits Sindel off of the railing in the Netherbelly. She tumbles to the floor, breaking some barrels around her. Then Ermac knocks Noob up in the air, where he falls into the room with the bloody tornado.
After this they go to the Konquest mode. Sessler didn't sound too enthused about it, and they showed a clip of a monk talking about Bo Rai Cho. The voice work seemed decent, but not great. After this some brief footage of Puzzle Kombat, with Baraka getting the big anvil, followed by some brief chess Kombat, where Li Mei engaged Bo Rai Cho.
The preview ended with a juggle combo by Baraka which looked sweet, and Scorpion doin a little damage to Ermac with a background weapon.
Overall, nothing new is really revealed, except for the guy in the brownish red pants who could be either Ermac, Kenshi, or someone else entirely. He didn't look like he was wearing a mask. Also, the guy that I'm about 99 percent sure is Cyrax snapping his own neck. If someone knows for sure who that is, then I'll eat my words, but he looked like a robot, he had a robot structure to his head, it looked like the dreads were coming out of the top of his head, and he had a yellow mask over his mouth.

Either way, I just wanted to pass on the knowledge.
