EDIT: Release date not announced yet, but in 2020

Gaming's starting to remind me of rabbits eating their own droppings.

I know the remake is kind of unnecessary, but I will still end up getting it.

Always wanted to play Kingpin, but never got around to it. Guess I can take the original off my wishlist.

Kingpin is one of the best things of all time, but I don't really see the point of this. Another ploy to pull the original from the shelves to sell a "remaster" at double the price?

The only thing I'd like to really see in a remaster would be the ability to have more than two goons follow you around at the same time. Maybe also give the player the ability to give healthpacks to goons, rather than having them heal at a very slow pace.

Shoot, guess I should have bought it on sale when it was like $4.

I would prefer a sequel, the game deserves it. Best french voice dubbing of all time. I still use some insults of the npc nowadays !

Steam already has its store page. Release in Q2 2020 !

Holy shit! This is amazing!

this sounds odd lee specific

Cool news! Yet it would be better if they'd announced Build engine source port remake for all Redneck Rampage games. Yes, I know they don't have the rights, but if they managed to get a contract for Kingpin why not the other great FPS from Xatrix???

Ohhhh snaaaaap!

Look, i get that you're trying really hard for the coveted participation award at the intelligentsia paralympics, but there really wasn't any need to stalk me across the forum and sully a perfectly good Kingpin thread by invoking the name of that other game in an attempt to remind me of your notoriously terrible taste.

There are other, better threads where you can wank off to overrated trash, but pleez leave my Kingpin threads alone, mmmkay. Remember that Interplay already hiked the price from $5.99 to $9.99 a couple of years back. Maybe it'll go on sale before the remake hits the shelves.

Stalking? You are giving yourself to much credit. Nah, accidentally stumbled here to see is it really that Kingpin they are remaking, and seen your your comment, which reeked of solipsistic narcissism, so I decided to test it. You did not disappoint.

Here's the thing, I don't care what people like or consider good. It doesn't affect me, it's opinion of the mass, of others - beings which are completely irrelevant to me, and universe in general. However, it always cheers me up to see members of the mass actually trying to enforce their ideals of beauty and good on other members of the mass, like it is actually something worth fighting, over ideas - narcissism at it's finest. Ah, you commies never cease to amuse me!

Oh, and since opinion of the masses actually matters to you, Kingpin was considered mediocre at best in the time of it's release, and is now remembered only by 90's shooters aficionados, and even then, not very fondly by the most of them. Matters little to me in each case, because game's setting doesn't interest me, and shooting looks mediocre at best. I'd rather replay FEAR or UT 2K4 again. But if remake actually improves the game, because it did have some good ideas for its time, well, good for its fans, new and old alike.

Oh, that's the Quake 3 engine shooter where everyone looks fat. Same thing happening in movies too, endless remakes and reboots. I think some people have called it "cultural cannabalism", our culture has grown stagnant and is not producing anything new so we've resorted to stealing from old things.

Someone unironically likes this game? To me, Kingpin is a prime example of mid-late 90s games aging horribly, in this case not only the obvious presentation aspect but also the writing and tone. It just tries so much to be hardcore and gritty with everyone being a roided-up foulmouthed murderous criminal drawn by Rob Liefeld and written by Frank Miller. Just... no thanks. That can stay in the 90s.
