First-Person Shiner: 12 Mins Of Nexuiz


So, this video is just 12 minutes and 54 seconds of one of the Nexuiz developers running around a shiny FPS arena commenting on the guns and how the game plays. But its simplicity is the perfect way of presenting the equally simplistic online shooter they're making: a game where the focus is fast, fluid killamajigging still has a place in my dark, dark heart, and Nexuiz is just that. It has a sticky mortar gun that fires a globby explosive at an enemy that detonates after a few seconds: I like watching people panic, because I'm actually not a very nice person. Video, ho!

This article contained embedded media which can no longer be displayed.

That shine is powered by the CryEngine 3, which is an awful hefty engine for shooter that needs a swift framerate. I wonder what the required specs will be? There's no release date, just this year. That's 2012, if you're a time traveler.
