Thanks to GameSpot for its first look at Midway's new PS2/Xbox title, Mortal Kombat: Deception, as "the recently announced sixth installment" in this long-running franchise officially debuts with a teaser trailer, heavily analyzed at Mortal Kombat Online. Elsewhere, Midway, who is trying to rebound from poor financial results, has announced a new addition to the Gauntlet series, and it's noted that "John Romero, the famous (and infamous) creator of Doom and Daikatana, will be developing the title", confirming earlier rumors to that effect.

Why go public with that by augmension · 2004-02-27 12:03 · Score: 4, Funny

Why on earth would Midway want to make public any relationship with the PR trainwreck that is Romero? I'd soon rather say I had a toddler with rabies working on my project then that guy.
