The Simpsons Hit and Run Remake: A Fan-Created Journey
The Simpsons Hit and Run, a beloved title from 2003, has captured the hearts of fans for years. Recently, one YouTube creator decided to take matters into his own hands and rebuild the keyboards from scratch.
A Fan-Created Remake
Using a year to complete this ambitious project, ‘reubs’ on YouTube has recreated The Simpsons Hit and Run in an open world format, recreating missions, and even added VR support. This is a fan-created remake that goes beyond merely improving upon the original.
An Unofficial Remake
Although not an official remake, ‘reubs’ has poured his technical expertise into making this version of the keyboards better than any possible official release. This creator is known for rebuilding random games and creating clones, such as Grand Theft Auto 5 and Call of Duty Zombies.
A Journey in Progress
Since starting this project over a year ago, ‘reubs’ has released updates every few weeks. In the latest update, he announced that the remake is almost complete. Although this journey has been dramatic for those invested in it, this remake will never see the light of day due to legal implications.
Legal Constraints
As a product protected by copyright, this remake will not be able to distribute the keyboards since it is already covered under copyright law. Despite praise from the original development team, legal restrictions prevent this version of The Simpsons Hit and Run from seeing the light of day.
Enjoy the Footage
To see every aspect of reubs’ redevelopment work, there is plenty of footage available on his YouTube channel. In the coming weeks, he will wrap up this project before moving on to other gaming endeavors.
