What is the remake of The Simpsons: Hit and Run like?

A YouTuber and game designer Reuben Ward tried making a remastered version of the 2003 Simpsons game. As soon as he uploaded the video online, it became a huge hit, gathering around 6.6 million views. So, Reubs decided to remake the game but also include new features.

The YouTuber plans to make the game an open world as the original was not because of the technology limitation. In 2003, it was hard for the original developers to use a vast map. So, they turned it into three parts which were accessible as the story continues. However, an open-world version would allow the players to explore the whole map in one go.

It would be mind-blowing to play with other real-life players.

Then he is upgrading the game’s visuals using Unreal Engine 5 and AI technology. Already the amount of work he showcased in the recent video looks mind-blowing.
