GameFocus - There is a lot of hype surrounding the upcoming CryEngine3 and when you’re intending to be the first downloadable game using the heavy-duty engine to hit the the market, you’re sure to garner a ton of attention. The upcoming Arena-FPS game Nexuiz by Illfonic has a lot of pressure on it to not only deliver on all this talk, but could also give us a taste of what to expect when Crysis 2 arrives in March 2011.
Nexuiz launched as a PC and console game 10 years ago, but the downfall of THQ lead to problems for the inspirational title.
Remember Nexuiz, the arena first-person shooter pulled from Steam three years ago after publisher THQ went bust? It's back.
Developer IllFonic has self-published the game on Steam, where it costs £7.99 (it's £3.99 until 22nd March).
Didn't get around to playing it until after the community died. Great to see it back.
The aftershock of THQ's dissolution continues, as servers for the Xbox 360 version of Nexuiz have been shut down. Developer Illfonic announced the news on its Facebook page, noting that the servers were being run by THQ and "cannot be maintained anymore." The PC servers, however, will remain online courtesy of Illfonic itself.
That's a shame, I loved this game but guess I won't be able to complete the achievements now.
