Mortal Kombat Armageddon uses LiveMove on the Wii

PALO ALTO, CA, Jun. 14, 2007 Midway chose AiLive's LiveMove to recognize player's motions for Mortal Kombat Armageddon.

LiveMove is a groundbreaking Artificial Intelligence product that enables the Wii Remote to learn. Instead of complicated programming, developers need only take a few minutes to train the Wii Remote by examples. LiveMove lets developers focus directly on creative work without the burden of onerous coding requirements, helping them quickly unleash the potential of the Wii.

"Mortal Kombat: Armageddon brings Midway's top-selling and award winning franchise to the Wii expanding the experience to a broader audience with its simple and intuitive gameplay," said Steve Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway. "The new control scheme makes it easy for the novice player or non-gamer to pull off special moves and fatalities just like a master martial artist."

We are thrilled that Midway's innovative and creative use of LiveMove has received rave reviews.

"... enacting one of eight gestures - towards-away, up-down, downwards semicircle, etc - instantly summons these ludicrous acts of screen engulfing violence. ... the simplicity of the gestures and, more importantly, the tightness with which the game registers them, allows for instant accessibility."  [CVG]

With hundreds of Wii developers using LiveMove in studios around the world, AiLive looks forward to many more great LiveMove-powered games. By using LiveMove to unleash the game creator's imagination, next generation Wii games like Mortal Kombat Armageddon allow players to experience a whole new level of natural engagement.
