Today marks the PC release of bafflingly-titled competitive arena shooter Nexuiz. It started life as a modest mod, and now the baby's left home and moved in with the commercial release crowd. Read on for further details on the PC version of Nezwix - Neuwiz - no, Niz - oh, sigh, why is this name so hard to type correctly? At least nobody's forcing me to say it out loud in front of an audience. I haven't a clue where to begin trying to pronounce that.
For this new release, Nexuiz has been completely rebuilt in the CryEngine 3. Tweaks to the PC version include DX11 support, advanced custom controls, and a new HUD. Most thrilling of all is a 20% speed boost for the necessary extra twitch. Because competitive, fast-paced shooters don't already make me jitter like an overshaken, threatening-to-spew can of soda.
Here's our Nexuiz preview from last week. It's cheap-as-chips at $10 on Steam, or you can pitch in on a four-pack to split with friends for $30.
