I looked at the screenshots and this game looks really really purty. I will give a performance
report after running it on my aging "games machine" (GeForce4, Athlon XP1600, etc). Doom 3 gave me
about 5 FPS on that box, with settings turned down I got 10-12... we'll see how Nexuiz compares.
Incidentally, how do you pronounce "Nexuiz"?

A new video game that is a direct decendant of the port of the Quake source code
that our own Joseph Carter worked on is was released on May 31st.
Nexuiz uses DarkPlaces. That doesn't descend from any engine I was
responsible for (either QuakeForge or Project: Twilight), but yes my hands
have been on the code. The primary developer of DarkPlaces is a guy known
as LordHavoc. Any Amiga fans on the list might actually know him, he's
pretty local.
On one server that I was playing on lastnight a tournament clan member, (not the clan) remarked that it reminded him of counterstrike. Can't say with any accuracy how popular it will get, but I think it has definite potential to attract a lot of attention to open source and even Joe Sixpack to linux.
The download includes amd-64-linux binaries, and windows and Mac binaries.
For a second opinion just ask MRO, he fragged me right off the map several times
tuesday evening.
I should note that I probably couldn't even play Nexuiz on my G5 without
changing the defaults a bit--it plays like Doom 3 in terms of graphics
requirements. If you're into FPS gaming, it's impressive stuff--more so
for a Quake engine.
And um, don't send me bug reports? =) I haven't had my hands on any of
the Quake engines in nearly two years.
