*IT IS NOT Kingpin: Reloaded, or an actual commercial product, it's the base game from 1999 which here uses AI Enhanced assets all around + fan patch, to make it as close as a fan-made remaster of Kingpin is able to go, and is not affiliated with Kingpin Reloaded that is coming out on 5th December 2023 (which is, tomorrow as of now). Yup, an ol' clickbait, but an important disclaimer nonetheless. Also, I'm quite bad at this game, despite loving it for a long time. xD

Full game longplay of Kingpin: Life of Crime, a 1999 FPP/Shooter game, known for it's sheer brutality, violence, bad language, run-down shitholes for levels, 1930s + futuristic weird mix of architecture and technology, and it's overall depiction of morally dubious behavior by the main anti-hero. Developed by Xatrix Entertainment, released on PCs by Interplay Entertainment. Mature rating as per ESRB (that didn't exist at the time of the release). Here played is the GOG version, with MH's latest Kingpin patch, a whole load of AI Enhanced (through Topaz and/or Stable Diffusion) textures, UI, skins. Played at 4K60 Highest possible settings, recorded at 4K60 H.265 NVENC via OBS.

Used the "visual upgrade" patch, called QEffectsGL from here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/kingpin-life-of-crime-enhanced-graphics

AI Enhanced packs made by FREDZ and by Leavesx (I mixed up them a bit)

Also, probably I took at least some textures from this pack by Leavesx: https://www.moddb.com/games/kingpin/addons/all-models-chartextures-upscaled-4x

Set in a quasi-retro time period, Kingpin features a mix of 1930s art deco crossed with modern technology and ideas. Many inventions are conveyed through an art deco style design, like helicopters and monorail networks. The setting is described by the game manual as a past that never happened. According to artist Viktor Antonov, the game was initially envisioned as "like Blade Runner with a gangster touch", before hip-hop group Cypress Hill got associated to the project, which in turn influenced the setting of the game, causing the science-fiction elements to be phased out in favor of a "realistic city".

Set in a city, the world of Kingpin revolves around crime and criminals. The game begins in the most desolate and deprived area of the city, Skidrow, a dystopia where the population consists entirely of criminal elements, prostitutes, and transients. It is here that the player character has been left, after being beaten up by some thugs under the employ of Nikki Blanco, one of The Kingpin's lieutenants. For some reason not explained within the game, Nikki Blanco wants the player out of his territory for good, and the beating is a warning that should he ever return, he can expect much worse.
