Brutal - a source engine mod being developed by Surrogate Interactive with dreams of becoming a full retail project -has had it's trailer uploaded to their website for your viewing pleasure. You can watch the trailer which also includes a director commentary at Brutal.surrogateinteractive.com
"We are looking to innovate the fighting game genre by putting the action of a first person shooter into an arena style environment. Our gameplay will focus on how each player moves about in the 3D environments and how the variety of characters will provide a multitude of playing styles and tactics. Some of our characters will be capable of wall running and super jumps allowing them to take advantage of the vertical space in order to launch attacks or gain access to hidden items that others characters cannot. Other characters will have the ability to deform the environment in various ways, such as pushing over pillars, or smashing through walls to open up hidden areas or destroy environment structures. We feel our concept will provide a new, deep and rewarding multiplayer gaming experience. As the current videogame market is saturated with Shooters and online RPGs, we feel our project provides much needed variety."

hahha, thats so cool.
thaugt this mod would be dead, glad to hear its not.
downloading right now.
That was absolutely incredible! Was the fight at the beginning all ingame, or was it just a rendering? Either way this looks bloody brilliant. Also, will it be released as a free HL2 mod first or do you plan to just go straight to retail? Awesome job.
The fight sequence in the beginning is an ingame animation, so unfortunately its not playable because our programmer got hired by another company half way through coding everything!
And we're planning to go straight to retail.
Glad you liked it!
