In terms of first-person shooters, no series equal the Unreal, Quake, and TimeSplitters games in terms of frantic shooter experiences. However, it’s been quite some time since these games were at the forefront of the shooter genre. They’ve been replaced by shooters like Halo and Call of Duty, games that allow for a measure of strategy while you wildly hope to land a shot to someone’s head. Enter Nexuiz, a game that has come quite some way from what was originally a 2005 open-sourced PC game based on a Quake mod. It’s fast-paced and attempts to fill the niche of ridiculously fast first-person shooters, but does Nexuiz do justice to its legacy?
Online multiplayer is back for 11 more games thanks to Insignia's XBL 1.0 replacement service running on Original Xbox consoles and the Xemu emulator on PC. Multiplayer, voice chat, leaderboards, etc. have been a monthly addition for many games from Xbox's past library thank to the team at Insignia.live! The 11 new games are now playable online once again after 13+ years.
Booo!! I was hoping that was Rainbow Six: Black Arrow...Boo!! again. I thought this coming to Xbox. I don't even read it I was so excited.
Nexuiz launched as a PC and console game 10 years ago, but the downfall of THQ lead to problems for the inspirational title.
"We may take digital downloads on console for granted nowadays but let's go back to when they became popularised and decide which platform offered the superior service." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
