Another retro fps cash-in for brainlets to get excited over only to be inevitably disappointed by when realization hits that any similarities between it and the old classics end at the most superficial level.
So;
- It's a Pseudo-rpg (think Sys Shock, Deux Ex etc.)
- It has guns (Duh!)
- It's using the Quake-1 engine
- It's co-published by Interplay
Huh, they created another channel for yet another FPS that will be announced at PAX South. And unlike the Chris Taylor FPS, it's using Unreal Engine 4.
If the number of ? is any indication, I can only think that the Chris Taylor FPS is Kingpin 2.
Apart from the Ion Fury shitshow, I've been deeply satisfied by some of the retro shooters that have come out. Amid Evil and DUSK are the best shooters I've played in nearly 20 years.Another retro fps cash-in for brainlets to get excited over only to be inevitably disappointed by when realization hits that any similarities between it and the old classics end at the most superficial level.
Then Baracuda posted the following on Discord Kingpin.info:
Not knowing what meant. I though maybe 3D Realms also got a Discord channel.
Because before Kingpin 1999 I always played Duke Nukem 3D so I was quite interested.
After joining 3D Realms channel and reading about I figured mostly stuff above out that must be a new Kingpin.
Also that member of 3D Realms post in kingpin.info about there new game makes it's pretty sure it's a new Kingpin.
Nobody talks about Kingpin anymore. Should anyone be excited ?
The classic 1999 shooter is back! Kingpin: Reloaded, the remastered, enhanced version of the crime-themed first-person shooter developed and published by 3D Realms and Interplay, recruits new gang members on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC later this year.
In a stylized noir art deco gangland that never was, the Kingpin rules above all else with a bloody fist. When his lieutenant Nikki Blanco leaves a no-name Thug battered and broken, the upstart criminal rises from a puddle of blood, lead pipe in hand and revenge in mind.
