Legends FPS Adds Freeware Linux Version

jmahler writes "The Legends Development Team is proud to announce the availability of our Linux client and server downloads for Legends. Legends is a fast-paced, FPS-style multiplayer game. The game is designed to take advantage of the beautiful environments in the Torque Gaming Engine while still offering the breakneck pace and variety of gameplay styles available from classics such as Quake and Tribes. Our game has been made for gamers, by gamers, and will always remain free (as in beer), supported, and improved as long as there is interest in it." There's also a Windows version of this still-in-development Beta on their download page, and the Tribes-style gameplay looks intriguing ("jetpack use" through large, often open-air multiplayer maps.)

It would be good, btw, if the screenshots on the official site were updated, because I _know_ it looks better in action than the old (latest is May?) screenshots on the site right now - unless new screenshots were somewhere I couldn't find?

To the folks who say outdated engine..

..buzz off.

Graphics and glitz aren't everything. Gameplay and community can more than make up for graphics; they can make a game positively addicting and mind smashing.

I sure as hell remember playing Wasteland better than Deus Ex -- and Deus Ex was a fantastic game. People who think graphics and looks are everything are the same ones who bitch about a game being boring.

Not to mention that constantly upping the requirements on models, textures, and effects simply drives development time through the roof for content alone.

A few screenshots up at this site show the game in action - nothing major though.

A few nice servers running, one with 5 players right now. Looks like a nice game.
