The last fast paced FPS unleashed on gamers in this era would be Unreal Tournament III back in 2008, so Nexuiz would come as a bit of a surprise to many FPS fans. Unlike many of the major releases today, Nexuiz is the result of a mod released for Quake back in 2001. For those that are unfamiliar with the Quake series, you are basically smashed into a small arena made up of different scenarios (eg. Jungle, tower etc.) with only one objective, kill. True to its nature, Nexuiz brings with it that old school touch of gaming along with the new school graphics of modern games. I must admit, you can never get tired of killing in these styles of games."
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.
