Nexuiz Using CryENGINE 3 for Upcoming Console Port

I remember reading a while back about some bad blood in the open source community over the fact that the console version wouldn't be GPL'd (which is impossible for a few reasons) which was where I first heard about the console port. As a firm supporter of open sourcing stuff, I completely understand why thats not an option and I'm ok with it.

What I'm actually curious about with this engine change is how it will affect movement tricks. I'm not too familiar with Nexuiz, but I know it uses the DarkPlaces source port of the Q1 engine and believe it had some Q1 style movement and speed tricks to it, and I'm curious if they're going to try and replicate those in the new engine or if they're just going with a different style of movement/play. I'm not sure if you could pull those moves off with a controller anyway. I think this is a game that is generally much better suited to the PC with its kb/mouse control scheme (though if it supports kb/mouse on the PS3 I guess it could work there).

How about a PC version? :(

Never heard of it.

I didn't know people were still interested in these types of games. Personally, I like my games to have things like a narrative and characters...

I never understood the appeal of twitch shooters. There is no satisfaction in catching someone with a lucky shot...

Hmm, wonder if today's console players will be as interested in a game like this.

If you haven't played it, it's a solid Quake-esque game with some neat improvements and things like grappling hooks that add to the craziness. Its main problem today is the PC community that mostly died a long time ago.
