Back in January 2020, 3D Realms announced a remaster for the classic 1999 crime-themed first-person shooter, Kingpin: Life of Crime. And a couple of days ago, the team released a comparison video between its original and the remastered versions.
Slipgate Ironworks has also revealed that it has completely re-engineered and ported Kingpin in Unity Engine. The team was originally planning to use another engine and write interpreters to use the Kingpin: Life of Crime data. However, the team encountered some difficulties, which is why it decided to completely re-engineer and port the game to Unity.
3D Realms promises to release Kingpin Reloaded at the end of 2020. Until then, it will be releasing brand new screenshots, footage and a gameplay reveal of the game.
Kingping Reloaded will support 4K resolution, ultrawide monitors, and will feature improved graphics in Enhanced Mode. Furthermore, the game will have a Classic Mode for all “purist” fans out there. Additionally, the game will offer native controller support.
Enjoy the following comparison video and stay tuned for more!

No censorship please
AGREED!
I mean they can have it for the masses…but an uncencored version should also be available.
Only?
Well that was pointless, didn’t even need a video… Just three images as a slideable gif (0.20 seconds long)
Can’t wait for this! Had so much fun with it back in 1999! ?
And definitely one of the most rude games ever made. lol
Fun, odd, and challenging. I never did finish this. I just remember dying in the first level over and over trying to figure the game out. I made it to the point where there was a huge pool of water to swim right in the middle of the map. Been so long.
3DRealms.
The remaster company…
(WTH? pull your heads out of your b…ts and make a new game)
Are you dumb? They are publishing tons of new games.
Right……

If you were a well informed person, you’d know they are publishing Wrath, Ion Fury, Graven, Core Decay which are all new IP.
Looking like they were made in the 80s.
Oh well.
You can always play those retarded linear modern shooters like COD that have updated graphics.
Sure. You can also play Doom and Heretic, and Hexen and Quake. But those were made back then.
Now it’s 2020.
I’m looking forward to playing this, never did on the original
