But I do think the battle was worth fighting."Īs much as even barebones ports of this and Road Rage would be most welcome, I would rather leave anything pertaining to The Simpsons (moving forward) to rest as the recent recasts of characters who have been on the show for over three decades will also be reflected in any other media pertaining to the franchise, be that games, a new movie, or merchandise. That was a huge creative battle over whether it was just a ‘driving around doing missions’ game or a ‘getting out of the car and doing missions’ game. And we were like, everyone's playing whatever version of Grand Theft Auto, people need to get out of the cars. "We were all playing Grand Theft Auto at the time and publisher, they just wanted another driving game. In the same interview, Selman also reflected on how the team had to fight for it to be like Rockstar's popular series at the time: “I would love to see a remastered version of, I would, it's a complicated corporate octopus to try to make that happen.” Speaking to IGN recently, Matt Selman, who has worked on the animation since 1997, has mentioned how he would also "love" to see this particular Simpsons game make a return but admits it would be "complicated" to revive:

New Zealand-based Unreal tinkerer and YouTuber Reuben "Reubs" Ward decided to challenge himself to to just that - well, the game's first mission, anyway - in just a week. ORIGINAL STORY 21ST AUGUST 2021: Remember The Simpsons: Hit & Run? The formative 18-year-old adventure hasn't aged well, but what if it was remade using the latest graphics tech? Reuben "Reubs" Ward told Eurogamer they took the project down in order to keep their YouTube channel "in good standing." They confirmed this was a preventative measure, and that no company has so far been in touch to issue any threats or request a takedown. UPDATE 24TH AUGUST 2021: The creator of the Simpsons: Hit & Run fan remake has removed it from their Patreon due to copyright concerns.
