I had been meaning to get back into the show (likely through iTunes downloads in the absence of Blu-rays of seasons 21+), however, some of the more recent decisions concerning the direction of the show have put me off completely.
While the show has been mostly garbage for the better part of two decades, I hate to see it descend even further into the abyss, especially when the finish line appears to be so close, with the last season repeatedly breaking all-time low ratings in wake of the recasts, likely due to decisions from execs further alienating disillusioned long-time fans. But I do think the battle was worth fighting."Īs much as even barebones ports of this and Road Rage would be most welcome, I would rather leave anything pertaining to The Simpsons (moving forward) to rest as the recent recasts of characters who have been on the show for over three decades will also be reflected in any other media pertaining to the franchise, be that games, a new movie, or merchandise. That was a huge creative battle over whether it was just a ‘driving around doing missions’ game or a ‘getting out of the car and doing missions’ game. And we were like, everyone's playing whatever version of Grand Theft Auto, people need to get out of the cars. "We were all playing Grand Theft Auto at the time and publisher, they just wanted another driving game. In the same interview, Selman also reflected on how the team had to fight for it to be like Rockstar's popular series at the time: “I would love to see a remastered version of, I would, it's a complicated corporate octopus to try to make that happen.” Speaking to IGN recently, Matt Selman, who has worked on the animation since 1997, has mentioned how he would also "love" to see this particular Simpsons game make a return but admits it would be "complicated" to revive: It got a release on the Nintendo GameCube back in 2003 and since then there's been growing support for a remaster or remake. One title fans of the long-running cartoon would love to see make a return is The Simpsons Hit & Run - a Grand Theft Auto-like game set in the fictional town of Springfield. The Simpsons might not be quite as popular as it once was, but there's still plenty of demand for the famous American family's retro video games.
