Remember The Simpsons: Hit & Run? The formative 18-year-old adventure hasn’t aged well, but what if it was remade using the latest graphics tech?
New Zealand-based Unreal tinkerer and YouTuber Reuben “Reubs” Ward decided to challenge himself to to just that – well, the game’s first mission, anyway – in just a week.
The video below runs through the creation process, and it’s fascinating stuff. With the help of some nifty programs and an AI-powered texture upscaler, Reubs was able to get game’s map up and running in Unreal 5, as well as Homer, a few NPCs, collectibles, and even vehicles. There’s ray tracing for that fancy lighting, too, and of course the Duff Blimp flying overhead.
