It's been 20 years, and The Simpsons Hit and Run developers are just as surprised as you that the cult open-world game hasn't got a sequel yet

Someone should really remaster and remake this game.

A fan did it, but cant release it publicly for obvious reasons

This makes game development look much more fun than it probably actually is

Like with any skill, the yt videos feature the 1% of the time when they get to show off progress. But of course the other 99% of the time is spent on the struggle bus. And like with any skill, if you can learn how to slog through the lows, the highs can be a very rewarding experience.

There's really nothing like seeing someone play your game for the first time. I assume it's similar to a musician showing off their music, or a director showing off their film. But that interactive element is very unique; getting to see how people interact and respond emotionally to this thing you built. Actually, maybe it's like being a toy maker.

Whaaaa? Where? The dude said he couldn't release because of copyright. Is it on torrents?

Thanks! I thought you got a hold of that remake done in Unreal Engine.

I was just thinking the other day that it's about time to replay this game. So I guess it is.

I loved this game so much on the original Xbox

Am I the only one who misses the heck out of Simpsons Wrestling?

Is this game available to play on the steam deck?

xCookes@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

It does work on the steam deck, but you'll need to source a copy from somewhere as its not sold on steam.

That's great and all but how about a remastered Virtual Springfield?

VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 2y

One guy has fully remastered the game with super high resolution and all nut won't release it because it would be illegal.
