Dino Dini er et navn som gamle fodboldsimulationsfans kan nikke genkendende til. Han er nemlig ansvarlig for Kick Off, Kick Off 2, Player Manager, Goal! og Dino Dini's Soccer.
I en post på PlayStation Blog afslørede Dino Dini, at han vender tilbage til Kick Off med Kick Off Revival, der er under udvikling eksklusivt til PS4 og PS Vita. Afsløringen falder godt sammen med, at det originale Kick Off fejrer 25 års jubilæum.
"I want to bring back reward for effort and dedication. In Kick Off, scoring was hard, but when you succeeded nothing compared with that feeling of achievement. The moment when you score should be all yours, not as a bystander, but as a participant. You and the ball against your opponent and the goal keeper. It is up to you whether you fail or succeed. That is what football is all about, and that is what I wish to revive again."
