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 (www.gamesradar.com)

Maybe every single game doesn’t deserve a sequel or a remake.

Focus on making new games instead of complaining about not getting paid to produce nonexistent regurgitation.

Hit & Run actually did get a fan remake in Unity.

I only played it briefly at my nephew's house back in the day but it actually seemed really janky. Was it actually good or was this just "omg GTA but with Simpsons I'm 11 and this is cool!"?

The latter.

I remember watching a playthrough once. You could hear their enthusiasm drop part way through level 3.

It's a game whose legacy is propped up entirely by nostalgia.

I'll be honest, I thought the this was about Road Rage until they mentioned GTA. Was Hit & Run that popular?

[-] DavLemmyHav@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Its probably too complicated to make a sequel cause of licencing and all that bureaucratic stuff

They're just as surprised as me... So... Not surprised at all?

You can't get it on Gog.com either.

I got this from GoGamer.com years & years ago.
