Whether we’ll get a The Simpsons: Hit & Run remake/remaster is up in the air, but that doesn’t mean you can’t relive the game’s wacky adventures in Media Molecule’s Dreams. The impressive creation suite recently launched on the PS4, giving users the chance to play and create nearly anything imaginable. Thanks to Dreams user ReivaJKH, you can jump back into the world of the beloved Hit and Run in a faithful recreation of the original. Much like many of the excellent Dreams recreations (like this rendition of Ghost of Tsushima), this one is nearly indistinguishable from the source material and features visuals, sounds, and gameplay to match.

The video below shows the recreation in action:
Each of its characters is identical to those in the original, with Homer, Marge, Bart, Maggie, and Lisa in playable form. Hit & Run features an open world similar to that of 2001’s Grand Theft Auto III, but done so in more of a satirical way, in typical Simpsons fashion. Though the recreation still needs some work with its open-world aspects (like more variety in buildings and other features to make the world feel more alive), the foundation of an impressive game is there. It’s unclear if its creator plans to keep fleshing things out, but nonetheless, this looks and is presented just like the game you remember.
With remakes and remasters running rampant in the video game world, the idea of seeing The Simpsons: Hit & Run again isn’t outside the realm of possibility. Towards the end of 2019, the game’s producer Vlad Ceraldi talked about wanting to bring it back in some capacity but noted that there were no solid plans to do so at the time. But if the success of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Spyro: Reignited Trilogy, and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled are any indication, bringing back Hit & Run could be lucrative for those involved. (Editor’s Note: Licensing agreements notwithstanding, particularly now that Disney owns Fox and its properties.) After all, the original game sold somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 million copies.
While we may never see the return of Hit & Run, at least you can enjoy a version of it in Dreams, complete with Bart skateboarding sections, a saxophone-playing Lisa, and a gun-slinging Maggie—all of which can explore the town of Springfield.
(Editor’s Note: This is not the complete Hit & Run game remade, but rather a technical demonstration of what’s possible in Dreams limited to the area immediately around the Simspons’ residence.)

The Simpsons: Hit and Run is one of those classic games which seemingly managed to cross the great divide of turning a fantastic TV Show into a fantastic game.
And now the original producer, Vlad Ceraldi, has stated that he believes the now close to 16 years old cult classic could be due a remaster or full-scale remake.
Speaking exclusively to LADbible , Ceraldi said:
'I could see it on multiple different types of platforms as a remake or remaster. It would have to take the parties who are in charge of the property to want that to happen and someone out there to decide that they were going to go out and do it. But absolutely, it would be fun to explore those characters and that universe again, that work again.'

Ironically, to prove his point, Ceraldi had first hand seen the impact the game had made when interviewing a candidate for a job some years back.
'I remember interviewing somebody for one of our games – they didn't know that I worked on The Simpsons: Hit & Run. They were going on about one of their favourite games of all time and ended up saying at the end that it was The Simpsons: Hit & Run.
'How much joy they had when they opened it up on Christmas morning and put it in and they ended up playing it all Christmas. They're telling this story and then say they were six-years-old.
'It makes you feel old, but it was also interesting seeing this young new employee of our company, he's starting his career.'

Ceraldi also took time to discuss the practicality of remastering the game, something supposedly he's spoken about at length.. down the pub.
'It's come up before in discussions but not seriously, usually at the pub, just talking about the idea of some of the magic that was captured and the potential ability to recapture it in a new way with a different audience, with a different generation of devices.
'There was joy in the making of it as well as obviously the fans playing it – that doesn't always happen but it certainly happened with that game. We had our doubts that it would work out the way we hoped but obviously it did.'
'There's masters out there like Nintendo and other companies who have nailed it time and time again, so it would be wonderful to reinvest in how you can control the characters, how you can control the world, how much of the world you can explore in detail.
'So there's a lot more fidelity you can go for as far as content exploration than we were able to do in that particular era. There were a lot of references put into the game but we didn't get everything. There's a lot more things that could be done and that would be fascinating for sure.'

Unfortunately, those hoping to see the game hit the PS4, Xbox or even future consoles such as the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett might want to temper their excitement for now though.
According to Ceraldi any decision regarding a remaster or remake will fall directly with those who own the rights to the game.
'It would have to take the parties who are in charge of the property to want that to happen and someone out there to decide that they were going to go out and do it,' Ceraldi said, 'but absolutely, it would be fun to explore those characters and that universe again, that work again.'
