The Simpsons: Hit & Run has certainly been one of the best games the franchise has had, a title that connects fans with great Sprinfield experiences while controlling their favorite characters from the animated series. More than 16 years have passed since this game was developed by Radical Entertainment and Viviendi Games for PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube and PC, and many fans have wondered when the sequel or a new title of this style would come to the generation Current consoles. Fortunately, Recently Joe McGinn (Senior Game Designer) and Vlad Ceraldi (Game Producer) have talked about a possible sequel from The Simpsons: Hit & Run, or a remastering for fans to fill their homes with nostalgia.
According Ladbidle Y Gamemedia, these two developers who were part of the team that created the video game, They have given recent interviews saying they would love to see this title back, either as a sequel or a remaster of the original. Next, we'll leave you with the words Vlad Ceraldi said about The Simpsons: Hit & Run.
«I could see it on multiple different types of platforms such as a new version or remastering. He would have to take the parts that are in charge of the property for that to happen and someone out there to decide that. They were going out and doing it. But absolutely, it would be fun to explore those characters and that universe again, which could work again ».
That is not all that Ceraldi said, in fact, on one occasion he set an example for Nintendo as one of the most successful companies in the industry, as well as Joe McGinn, who has said he would love to see this title for Switch as a remaster.
Of course, I would love to have it on my Nintendo Switch! That said, the PC version, if you can find it, not only works in modern versions of Windows, but also supports some quite surprising modifications. If it is a remaster, I am interested in frame rate. Do not change the artistic style, it is quite authentic for the show, but give me 60 fps. I think games just look and feel better that way. If it's a new version, that's another three-eyed fish kettle. I guess creating a single cohesive and connected environment would be a natural thing these days. But the main objective would be to improve the gameplay outside the car. Hit & Run was the first platform game of our team, so the mechanics of the camera and the player was a bit difficult. I would love to have another opportunity to achieve a smooth Mario level in the platform camera and animations so that the working parts feel as good as driving.
In the interview with GamemediaJoe McGinn has commented a little on what he would like to see in a possible remaster or remake of The Simpsons: Hit & Run. In a remaster the ideal would be to improve the fps and graphics, and if it were a remake, it would be great to improve the gameplay and integrate new content to make it even more amazing. It should be noted that he also stated that they initially had a prototype of a sequel to the game.
We had some very early game prototypes. I remember that our physics guru, Greg Mayer, started up connected vehicles, so he could have a trailer behind a car with some fun results. But we never got very far before EA won the right to play the Simpson movie, so unfortunately there was nothing we could do but move on.
As McGinn says, the project could not advance due to some restrictions. Despite this, developers are very motivated to create revive the experience with The Simpsons, so we may soon see a remaster or remake of this title. Although it is important to keep in mind that it has not yet been confirmed.
