While The Simpsons Wrestling was a horrid mess, The Simpsons: Hit & Run is fondly remembered as a solid little GTA clone. And Vlad Ceraldi, producer on the game, seems to think that Hit & Run. The Simpsons Hit and Run is a game that has certainly stood the test of time, with a community that's still active and wants to see more life breathed into t. The Simpsons: Hit & Run Producer Wants a Remake or Remaster of the Classic Joseph Yaden Wednesday, October 09, 2019 One of the most beloved licensed games of the PS2 era was The Simpsons: Hit & Run. Simpsons Hit And Run Pc. The Simpsons remains one of the most popular sitcoms ever. Having started way back in 1989, the show is still going strong and is set to air its 700th episode in the near future.
We're putting the 'spring' back in Springfield some 18 years after The Simpsons: Hit & Run first came to GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PC. Back at the height of popularity for Matt Groening's record-breaking cartoon, Radical Entertainment cashed in on The Simpsons' growing fanbase by combining it with the equally impressive success of Grand Theft Auto. Even if Hit & Run is held by many as their favourite driving game ever, the 2003 title was far from perfect. Now, a long-awaited mod has fixed one of its most annoying issues.
The Simpsons: Hit & Run was a mission-based game that split the sprawling Springfield into three distinct areas. Although you could freely drive around in a variety of weird and wacky vehicles (anyone remember the car Homer designed?), getting from one area to the next included achingly long waiting times and boring loading screens. Since Hit & Run's release, there's been a lot of calls for a remake or even HD remastering, but for the time being, we're stuck with its original form. Still, one modder has managed to bring the maps together to create a unified version of Springfield.

Why The Simpsons: Hit & Run Remake is a Great Idea. After the original Simpsons Hit & Run producer said he felt it could be remade, fans have become excited and now seems to be a great time to do it. If you’ve ever pined for an HD remake of The Simpsons: Hit and Run, Dreams is as close as you’re probably going to get. Dreams creator ReivaJKH has recreated The Simpsons: Hit and Run in Media. The Simpsons: Hit & Run’s producer Vlad Ceraldi recently spoke about the classic PS2 game, talking about why it was fun and how the team knew it was going to be a success. Ceraldi is also very.
The Simpons: Hit & Run remaster could happen, according to the game's producer, but for now, it doesn't look very likely. For those that don't know: The Simpsons: Hit & Run, released back in 2003 via the GameCube, PS2, PC, and Xbox. And not only did it sell well -- as you would expect -- but it beat the odds and reviewed well, which is rare for a tie-in cartoon game. Since then, it's becoming increasingly a cult-classic, one that many nostalgic gamers have been asking for to return in recent years. That said, there hasn't been anything from Activision suggesting this will happen, however, a producer on the game has suggested it could, and that he would be interested in being involved with the project
'I could see it on multiple different types of platforms as a remake or remaster,' said producer Vlad Ceraldi while speaking to LAD Bible. 'It would have to take the parties who are in charge of the property to want that to happen and someone out there to decide that they were going to go out and do it. But absolutely, it would be fun to explore those characters and that universe again, that work again.'
According to Ceraldi -- who's now at Hothead Games -- the prospect of doing something with the game has come up before, but these conversations were never very serious.
'It would be wonderful to reinvest in how you can control the characters, how you can control the world, how much of the world you can explore in detail,' said Ceraldi. 'So there's a lot more fidelity you can go for as far as content exploration than we were able to do in that particular era. There were a lot of references put into the game, but we didn't get everything. There's a lot more things that could be done and that would be fascinating for sure.'
The Simpsons Hit and Run, released in 2003, was a huge success at the time. It sold over 3 million copies by 2007, had a very accurate interpretation of the series itself (along with the 3D graphics compared to the 2D which we see on the show), and lots of people considered it to be the best Simpsons game to date. The Simpons: Hit & Run remaster could happen, according to the game's producer, but for now, it doesn't look very likely. For those that don't know: The Simpsons: Hit & Run, released back in 2003.

'As far as why it stood the test of time, I think it's a game that kids could play, adults could play, anyone who was fans of the show could try and laugh and have fun with,' said the producer. 'When you make something, sometimes you know you've made something special. This was one of the ones that we knew we hit the mark. We didn't know it was going to sell as well as it did - we had high hopes, but it definitely hit its expectations.'

Whether we’ll get a The Simpsons: Hit & Run remake/remaster is up in the air, but that doesn’t mean you can’t relive the game’s wacky adventures in Media Molecule’s Dreams. The impressive creation suite recently launched on the PS4, giving users the chance to play and create nearly anything imaginable. Thanks to Dreams user ReivaJKH, you can jump back into the world of the beloved Hit and Run in a faithful recreation of the original. Much like many of the excellent Dreams recreations (like this rendition of Ghost of Tsushima), this one is nearly indistinguishable from the source material and features visuals, sounds, and gameplay to match.
The video below shows the recreation in action:
Simpsons Hit And Run Remake 2019
Each of its characters is identical to those in the original, with Homer, Marge, Bart, Maggie, and Lisa in playable form. Hit & Run features an open world similar to that of 2001’s Grand Theft Auto III, but done so in more of a satirical way, in typical Simpsons fashion. Though the recreation still needs some work with its open-world aspects (like more variety in buildings and other features to make the world feel more alive), the foundation of an impressive game is there. It’s unclear if its creator plans to keep fleshing things out, but nonetheless, this looks and is presented just like the game you remember.
With remakes and remasters running rampant in the video game world, the idea of seeing The Simpsons: Hit & Run again isn’t outside the realm of possibility. Towards the end of 2019, the game’s producer Vlad Ceraldi talked about wanting to bring it back in some capacity but noted that there were no solid plans to do so at the time. But if the success of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Spyro: Reignited Trilogy, and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled are any indication, bringing back Hit & Run could be lucrative for those involved. (Editor’s Note: Licensing agreements notwithstanding, particularly now that Disney owns Fox and its properties.) After all, the original game sold somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 million copies.

While we may never see the return of Hit & Run, at least you can enjoy a version of it in Dreams, complete with Bart skateboarding sections, a saxophone-playing Lisa, and a gun-slinging Maggie—all of which can explore the town of Springfield.
(Editor’s Note: This is not the complete Hit & Run game remade, but rather a technical demonstration of what’s possible in Dreams limited to the area immediately around the Simspons’ residence.)
