Selvom The Simpsons: Hit & Run var en ret skamløs GTA-klon, så formede udvikleren Radical Entertainment spillet med så kærlighed til den ikoniske serie, at fans verden over elskede det. Det har dog efterhånden mange år på bagen, og adskillige gange har der været snak om et remaster, eller et remake, blandt fans.
Så kunne det ske? Ja, hvis vi spørger showets co-showrunner, Matt Selman. I et interview med IGN siger Selman, at han selv har lobbyet for netop at få spillet restaureret og genudgivet, men at det har vist sig at være ret komplekst.
"I would love to see a remastered version of [Simpsons Hit & Run], I would. It's a complicated corporate octopus to try to make that happen."
Desuden forklarer han også, hvordan de besluttede sig for at lave det dengang:
"We were all playing Grand Theft Auto at the time and publisher... they just wanted another driving game. And we were like, everyone's playing whatever version of Grand Theft Auto, people need to get out of the cars. 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. But I do think the battle was worth fighting."
