3DRealms announces Kingpin: Reloaded. 2020 on PS4/XONE/PC/Switch (4k60, classic/enhanced mode, new quest system...)
- Thread starter disgraciau
- Start date
Maybe, but at least it'll include the classic mode as well for those who want to play the game as intended back in the day.
I can't wait to spend 3 hours fighting through the maze like factory level, rescuing the guy, spending another 2 hours painstakingly escorting his horrid pathfinding ass back to the bar and having the game not recognize he's there softlocking me from continuing again.
The rose tinted glasses are strong in here, Kingpin is not a good game.

Oh shit, I remember playing this when I was a youngin. Don't remember much about it though.

That looks hideous. They should have updated models and animations at least. And picked a better game:)
I was thinking of replaying the game a while back. That said, fuck 3D Realms for how they handled Ion Fury. I won't play their version of the game.
Such a weird game to see coming back. But I remember liking it a lot, so sure, fine, why not.
Now that's a game I'd love to see remade.
I forgot about that. It was kinda great, in a weird, disturbing way.

It 100% has aged super bad.
All the slurs and phobias thrown around 24/7 alone will make it come across poorly now.
According to Steam I replayed this in 2014 and it took me 10 hours. I don't remember any bugs/glitches/crashes in it.
Most of the game you hear the instrumental versions, and you know shit is going down when they put the version with lyrics.
The golden age of games being exciting because the characters swear and the music is licensed from from real bands, like bands you hear on the radio. We are spoiled now a days and don't remember the days when a character saying "SHIT" in a game was a real thrill.
Fixed? I played the whole game with no problems at all and it was great.
For the record, the most notable thing about this game is that it was the first project featuring Viktor Antonov (Half-Life 2, Dishonored.) as lead artist.
The original idea was that it was going to be a more sci-fi focused game, in the vein of something like Blade Runner. But it was toned down a bit after Cypress Hill was brought on board.Retro Gamer: Issue 178 said:
So, the game has rough edges obviously, but I think it was a key title in its day. It's one of the first FPS titles to focus on a hub/spoke system. You have these hubs you visit where missions spiral off in various directions. So you become familiar with each part of town and missions play out naturally from there. It was a smartly designed game for its day and also quite beautiful.
