nxzCrytek may have developed the CryENGINE 3 for their games, but other developers can avail of the sophisticated new game engine to develop their own games. One such developer is Illfonic, who used CryENGINE 3 for the console release of the arena-based FPS, Nexuiz.

 

Launched back in 2005, Nexuiz was originally developed by Alientrap as an open-source downloadble game for Windows, Linux, and OSX. Illfonic will be bringing the FPS into PSN and Xbox Live and will be the first downloadable to be powered by CryENGINE 3.

 

“IllFonic firmly believes in bringing the consumer the highest quality games at an affordable price through downloadable distribution channels." said Illfonice president Charles Brungardt. "Switching to CryENGINE 3 has helped us stay true to our vision and build the Nexuiz arenas the way we see it without any limitations. We are incredibly proud that Nexuiz will be the first downloadable title developed on CryENGINE 3.”

 

 

 

Thanks again Peter!

Nexuiz IS for computers, in fact I think its the most popular FPS for Linux, or Quake might be up there too.

Been waiting for a release of an arena FPS on consoles for a good long time. Shame not very many people play UT3 on the PS3 or 360

Fast paced FPSes only work well on PCs, that's the reason why there is a lack of arena FPS on consoles.

Anything Fee-Nexuiz will do, its GPL'd PC counterpart and it's fork (Xonotic) will do better.
