The decades-spanning franchise has seen many video game adaptations over its lifespan, starting back on MS-DOS and Commodore 64 systems, eventually breaking through into the NES, Sega Genesis, and even consoles beyond. The content creator did not explain whether the action was prompted by any kind of notification from Disney, the current owner of the brand.Out of any television show that has ever existed, none has had as much cross-media success as The Simpsons. However, the availability of the project did not last long: as the description of the video quotes, “copyright concerns” caused the link to be removed.
Even the main designer behind the original game, JoeMcGinn, commented on the video and praised the work for “giving a taste of what a modern remaster could look like”. Publishing reubs is a hit on YouTube: the video has already surpassed 1.1 million views. Reception was considered positive at the time, and recently a producer of the cartoon even said he would “love” a remastering of the game. The Simpsons: Hit & Run was released in 2003 by Radical Entertainment for PC, PS2, Xbox and GameCube. He even added a first-person mode for fun and managed to recreate the first mission in a fully functional way. The remaining steps involved improving the protagonist Homer Simpson and adjusting the new model with the movement. Then he started applying new textures and lighting effects - most of it was done with another program, which automatically converts images to a larger scale using Artificial Intelligence. In short, reubs had the help of a program created by another developer, which allowed him to extract the original artwork from the complete map and have the job much easier.
He posted the result on his YouTube channel, along with details of the process. In just one week of intense work, user reubs managed to remake the first mission of The Simpsons Hit & Run game in 4K and with advanced effects, including ray tracing, in just one week.
Thinking about how many players stopped enjoying the title and how its visual aspects are already dated, a youtuber and developer decided to remaster the game on his own. The Simpsons Hit & Run is a highly praised game, but with no console versions of the latest generations.
