The fact you are going as far as learning the art style of the show and drawing the cutscenes by hand is so awesome! The end result is going to be epic!
Extremely impressive work, especially seeing our cutscenes in 2D! I am the Hit & Run lead designer, and it pleases me to no end that the game still brings you joy - and in such a creative way - after all these years.
This was one of the first few games I played when I was younger. Arguably the best Simpsons game ever made. You are part of the reason for history sir.
The 2D translation of cutscenes is the most impressive part of this for me, like the actual in game stuff feels hit and miss so far to me but the translation of cutscenes from 3D to 2D are a night and day difference in quality, they almost look like they're straight from the show which is amazing.
@@Zack_Wildfire I haven't watched simpsons since like Season 13 because I occasionally caught an episode on TV in passing and it just looked... bad; People's reviews corroborate that impression too. So I'm a bit out of the loop on that aspect.
Bro, I've never seen someone more dedicated to preserving a game to go as far as leaning the artist's style and remaking scenes by hand, holy crap bravo
After almost 16-ish years of the simpsons game, I never took into consideration of how clever it was for the developers to make Lisa's hair a simple flat texture that always faces the camera, really did feel like her entire head was 3D. (at least before me in 2014)
It's probably colored better than the show's current look. Leaning a bit more towards yellow than the weird green they've steadily transitioned to over the years,
Dude this is honestly insane, it's crazy how talented and dedicated some people are, you need to get hired by a triple A studio dude. It's people like you that change video games
@@feloniusduck183 You do realize that he's just taking everything the og devs did and just putting a fresh coat of paint on it, right? He's a great artist, no doubt about it. But being a vg dev is a completely different thing than being a graphic artist. He's not even putting anything into the game. Just reskinning. He could be working for an indie dev. Becoming one though...not so sure tbh.
The fact you reanimated the cutscenes in 2d by hand speaks volumes about your dedication and resolve to do what you love. I hope you extend your talents and achieve great heights. People like you deserve recognition for such qualities.
Huge props on those cutscenes They look like they were made officially, the fact you had to take time to learn the artstyle to do them by hand is amazing and really shows the dedication
wow dude, fully re-animating the cutscened in 2d will be a massive feat but you seem to be so overflowing with talent that learning and applying the artstyle was just a part of the process for you insane work
Every single day since I've seen this I pray that this incredible project doesn't get struck down somehow. I would be so happy to replay this game again, but with this much respect put into it. So much respect for doing this.
The dedication is insane, i never played hit and run but this made me want to play that AND this mod. The cutscenes will probably make this one of the best modded remasters ever.
Honestly at this point, considering the fact that the original game came out more than 2 console generations ago, it would probably be easier to just remake it from scratch. Plus they could finally make the last mission of the last level a little bit more forgiving, like just let the timer stop once it reaches the tractor beam. I have seen people rage quit the game because the timer was 0 min 0 seconds and 0.01 milliseconds away from victory and failed the mission.
I love how even after all these years, hit and run still has cultural relevance strong enough for many people to do things like these for it. Good stuff man, you can feel the passion from this.
A few minutes in: "You know, this guy clearly isn't a world-class artist or animator, but this video is a really interesting look into someone with passion, skill, and dedication, pursuing what they love and learning as they go. I really appreciate that, and will upvote this." A few minutes later: "So I decided to do it all by hand and learn Matt Groening's art style." Holy shit, man. Great job.
The 2D animation is so damn convincing, you really did a great job of nearly perfecting the animation of the show. Hand drawing things are hard, but animating by hand while being limited to a certain style takes dedication.
Ay Caramba! You reanimated all of the cut scenes from 3D to 2D?! This is an incredible amount of dedication and attention to detail! And it looks phenomenal - like indistinguishable from the show! You seriously deserve to be paid for this work if you aren't already!!
I adore how you not only update the look of the game. But Hand-drew the Cutscenes to look like the show during the era Hit and Run was realized. Cheers! And the animation is just fantastic. I have high expectations for this mod. Good Luck Friend!
I’m gonna leave this here for you, just for tips: I have a friend who worked on The Simpsons back in 2017; the animation software he used was ToonBoom Harmony which made animation 10x faster to do. I don’t know what program you use, but if you ever want to make the same look that they use in today’s version, I suggest that you study Harmony.
@@the-NightStar I would argue that the problem is that any computer software was being used. It's totally understandable because going digital saves tons of time and money but the show looked so much better before the switch.
Matt isn't very good at drawing. he has very crude drawing styles. the cleaned up characters were done by David Silverman and Korean animators. Matt still draws sloppy Ullman era to this day. He's a doodle artist. It is one of the biggest misconceptions that they think Greoning does the characters haha he does a rough doodle and Silverman cleans it up.
The fact you literally learned to draw the freaking Simpsons exactly like Matt is... Just wow. The dedication. The countless hours. This is insane in the best ways. Absolutely AMAZING.
@@nvrmind1497 It's pretty simple to draw them honestly, but animating characters takes a lot more work. When you look at The Simpsons there aren't many major details with the character designs.
The hand drawn animation honestly takes the cake, while I don't believe its perfect, I don't expect it to be. This isn't a high budget remaster but instead a painstaking, blood, sweat, and tears genuine fan remaster. Its honestly an incredible start and I hope to see more.
I love the style he used, good mix of the Matt’s style from the earlier seasons (not quite season 1, maybe season 2-3) and the early use of Digital Style before the Movie, it also fits with the time the game was originally released
@@nickelbrickell While it's otherwise on-model, in some places the inking lines aren't quite thick enough to match the show art, and there's also a fair few imperfections in the character art during perspective changes. Not something most people pick up on unless they've really tried to do professional work or touchup jobs, but it's enough to not quite hit the "perfection" mark for those who know how the joe goes.
@@kabhes9040 I always thought that episode looked different animation wise. A quick googling reveals the Radioactive Man episode in season 7 was the first to be digitally coloured, a method that wasn't attempted again until season 12, causing the Radioactive Man episode to look just a little bit different than all the others around it.
The thing you're looking for with Lisa's hair is called a billboard texture, also great job on the cut scenes! The movement feels a little slow, but considering you're just translating the 3D movement into 2D I think it's great
Hey man, the fact that you’re going out of your way to animate every single cutscene is really impressive! I’m an animator, so if you need any help with anything, I’d be more than happy to help
this is just absolute dedication, textures drawn by hand in a higher res, remodeled characters, AND cutscenes in the matt groening style? you absolutely deserve more credit than you have right now. when i saw the cutscenes its like watching a cut episode/preview to another episode. i cant wait to see what you have in store whenever this releases
Buenas gato, ya flipaba con el retexturizado de los carteles y la idea de rehacer todas las texturas pasándolas a alta definición, pero lo de las animaciones en 2D hechas totalmente a mano, te han quedado increíbles, vaya trabajazo, sin duda mucho mejor y con más amor que el original, mi más sentida enhorabuena y ánimos. En cuanto a lo de Lisa, le tendrás que dar una vuelta, hacerlo en 3D parece la mejor opción, quizás mirando algún merch de Lisa en 3D. Lo del plano del pelo que siempre mira hacia la cámara me parece una solución creativa en el original, esto se debe hacer exportando el objeto por separado con el eje a la altura del centro de la cabeza, luego se coloca en el motor grafico dentro del hueso de la cabeza y con el script procuras que siempre se quede mirando hacia la cámara añadiendo además un offset a la rotación para que este en su sitio.
Wow, the cutscenes look FANTASTIC! The Lisa model... yeah, I think it's best to leave it vanilla. Same for cell-shaded Bart. If we could find a way to make them look like they did in The Simpsons Game it would be the best possible result, but until then I guess it's better if we leave it as is. Overall, you're doing an AMAZING job, my guy!
Pick up your cross and follow Jesus! The world is quickly headed for destruction, and sooner or later you will have to sit at the judgement seat and give an account for your actions. Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life! - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God tho. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc and you should get a response. Have a blessed day!
Oh my God, dude. The 2D animation and drawings look as good as the show! That is absolutely amazing! Going above and beyond to follow Matt's style of how he created The Simpsons, and then seeing it in practice as essentially perfect is truly going that extra step for this mod. Well done! Very well done!
Dude just deadass studied Simpsons art style and applied it to redo 3D animations in 2D. That's some *stupid* dedication and I absolutely love it. I'm now subbed and I wanna see where this goes, because this looks amazing.
For you, it may not feel like it some days. But the work you do is what great animators are made of. Groening, Povenmire and Marsh, Hillenberg, Hartman. Tartakovsky. They only did what they did for themselves and for us. And stuff like this, is why they did it. Keep it up Gato!
The dedication to the remaster for those 2D cutscenes is unreal, it was surreal to me how spot on it all was! I would say the lines on Kent Brockman felt a touch too thick but I was blown away by the quality of Quimby and the rest of it!
Hey, as a person who has years of experience with toon modeling, I have some suggestions that might help your problems: Let me say first that I don’t know the exact tools you’re working with, so I don’t know the limits of what you’re able to do. But I’m assuming the cel shader you’re using isn’t actually a true cel shader. Rather it’s a post processing effect that turns off lighting and outlines the outside of objects. So I’m gonna work off that assumption here. On bart’s no-nose issue: for blender, look up the “inverted hull method”. Essentially it involves using a solidify modifier to duplicate and flip the mesh so that the second mesh is only visible from certain angles, thus creating true outlines. It sounds complicated, but it actually only takes 30 seconds to set up. On bart’s weird shadows: look up “toon normal editing”, again for blender. This one’s a lot more complicated so it’s not really needed if you don’t plan on having realtime shadows. On Lisa’s hair: look up “billboards”. They’re meshes that always face the camera. This would not be done in blender, but in-engine. One final tip: if you still feel you’re not getting enough definition, try manually painting lines or cel shading directly on the textures. For example, the spikey bits of bart’s hair could be outlined in black on the texture sheet so they’re always visibly outlined no matter the angle. I hope this comment isn’t overwhelming (or condescending). I just find half the battle is knowing the terminology of the problem you’re looking to fix. I hope I was helpful, and good luck with the remaster! I’m in awe at your hand drawn animation!
@@goku_dunker_420 yeah, a lot of my learning was spent figuring stuff out myself. BUT in the past few years there’s been a ton of new resources and youtube channels for this stuff! For example, Raymond Cripp’s development logs have super good explanations of concepts, and Royal Skies has great 2 minute tutorials. And if you’re looking for more advanced stuff, Daniel Kreuter, Nhij Quang, and Activemotionpictures are all incredible. Edit: also since I just realized you said all 3D art and not stylized, I’ll add on Blender Guru’s 3D donut tutorial. It sounds silly but he uses modeling a donut to walk you through learning the tools and terminology of blender.
@@NutyRiver I know about the donut and all that, but I had a glitch when doing it that I couldn't get rid of so I just moved on. I'm currently doing animation and figuring the ins and outs of it
muy buen e increíble trabajo amigo, me imagino todos los problemas por los que pasaste pero el progreso que realizaste en tan poco tiempo ha valido mucho la pena, nunca jugue mucho este juego pero ahora lo estoy considerando a pleno, espero que no te estés sobretrabajando con todo esto, eso puede deteriorarte demasiado en muy poco tiempo, intentaré apoyar como pueda de igual manera, muy buen trabajo!
I'm assuming we're a long way away from this being available but maybe someone important will notice your hard work and hire you for an official remaster project this is some seriously impressive work my guy
That's what i was thinking. At this point they could hire him and flesh his 'team' out with a handful of others to speed things up and call it an official remaster.
THE STYLE IS SSCARRRY GOOD! I know how hard it is to nail the Simpsons artstyle, and this is incredibly commendable. Many of these look like complete screenshots from the show. I truly admire your work! Edit; THE WALK CYCLE BLEWWW ME AWAY!!!! :O
You have my immense respect on being willing to hand draw and learn how to animate the characters. I’ve never played this, but I now will once the mod is released.
Bro you’re literally recreating a masterpieces with so much talent, the state of the current gaming industry is so unbelievably bad with all that cooperate none sense. So impressive that you managed to do this all by yourself
Personally, the fact youre doing the cutscenes in 2D animation is fucking mindblowing. Like, I wish the original was done that way in the first place so the cutscenes would hold up today.
Man, I wish you luck with this project, just seeing that animation really says how much dedication you're putting into it. It has it's flaws, but it's still so damn good with the level of effort you're putting in it.
The fact that you decided to animate the cutscenes from scratch shows how much love you are putting into the project, its much more than a simple mod, you really want to do a remake of this classic, i take my hat off to you.
WOW. Extremely impressed by the 2D animations, as well as the cell shaded graphics. So many well thought out artistic choices in the project!! Keep up the great work!!!!!
While I feel the character models could use some work (I didn’t even realize they were from The Simpsons Game until it was pointed out) the 2d cutscenes are amazing and honestly look like official art
This is looking so good, I love how you were able to mimic the Simpsons Style If out of context someone showed me the footage and said it was an early build of a remastered Hit and Run, I would believe them Its like how as a kid I saw this game, and never even noticed its flaws Super excited to see this mod develop more
The effort to preserve every little detail in this remaster mod is insane, the cutscenes look like they're taken right out of an episode of the show. On a side note, is the "FEEF" on the sign a gag I don't get?
@@adepressedcatwithabadnicot246 I don't think that's what is actually happening, the fonts are different and stylized differently, it also doesn't have any of the artifacts upres'd ai images do. It looks like they did that themselves in photoshop. If it's not an actual mistake, it's probably a nod to the bad GTA upscaling
@@Rhodochrone that was literally some of the dudes behind texturing not fully understanding the english language since they were foreign, this isn't some kind of future utopia where AI can even generate text based images AND also upscale an image behind it WHILE getting rid of the background behind it dude, everyone who's been saying that just saddens me if people think it's true (and the fact that the first to ever get this technology would be grove street games like WTF?!)
Holy shit, that's some serious passion and dedication. Drawing and animating the cutscenes by hand must've been a herculean task. Looks amazing! Good job!
I legit have no words to describe how awesome this is. You going so far as to learn the art style of the show to do this is above and beyond impressive. You still need a little work(like with lisa and smoothing out some of the cutscene animations) but you're already well beyond any expectations
The 2D cutscenes looked too perfect that looks like it came from the show. Man, great job!! My congrats!! I would love to experiment this game when it get completed 👏👏👏👏👏
The dedication to this is impressive and inspiring i truly hope you finish this project not only as a hit and run fan but also someone who just wishes you the best
The fact you are going as far as learning the art style of the show and drawing the cutscenes by hand is so awesome! The end result is going to be epic!
to be fair if no one offer him to make this a official release by this quality i would pay to make it happened
It looks real
With such a quality, you really deserve to be hired... Seriously.
Honestly the 2D cutscenes would clash together with the game very well
A billion dollar company wouldn’t make this much effort if this game re-releases…

Lo del plano del pelo que siempre mira hacia la cámara me parece una solución creativa en el original, esto se debe hacer exportando el objeto por separado con el eje a la altura del centro de la cabeza, luego se coloca en el motor grafico dentro del hueso de la cabeza y con el script procuras que siempre se quede mirando hacia la cámara añadiendo además un offset a la rotación para que este en su sitio.
The 2D drawing of cutscenes is absolutely amazing. I’m not a Simpson fan (of the game or the show) but this is insanely impressive work! Keep it up!
Then how did you stumble on this
@@SlushiFoxEdits Just like me
Wow, the cutscenes look FANTASTIC!
The Lisa model... yeah, I think it's best to leave it vanilla. Same for cell-shaded Bart. If we could find a way to make them look like they did in The Simpsons Game it would be the best possible result, but until then I guess it's better if we leave it as is.
Overall, you're doing an AMAZING job, my guy!
Man, this is such a thought out remaster. I am looking forward to seeing the next update!
You know, having the cutscenes remade in the show's animation style is a simple, yet genius idea if the game got remade!
Pick up your cross and follow Jesus! The world is quickly headed for destruction, and sooner or later you will have to sit at the judgement seat and give an account for your actions. Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life! - Revelation 3:20.
Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God tho.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc and you should get a response. Have a blessed day!
@@bannah6400 // Sir, this is a video about the Simpsons: Hit and Run, not a video by some religious nut jobs.
Oh my God, dude. The 2D animation and drawings look as good as the show! That is absolutely amazing!
Going above and beyond to follow Matt's style of how he created The Simpsons, and then seeing it in practice as essentially perfect is truly going that extra step for this mod. Well done! Very well done!
infamous 2 fan spotted, two thumb up 👍👍
The cutscenes in 2d is actually a nice touch and an eloquent fix to work around your abilities. Nice work.
Dude just deadass studied Simpsons art style and applied it to redo 3D animations in 2D. That's some *stupid* dedication and I absolutely love it. I'm now subbed and I wanna see where this goes, because this looks amazing.
this guy is absolutely insane for doing all of this for a fan project and i love every second of it
For you, it may not feel like it some days. But the work you do is what great animators are made of. Groening, Povenmire and Marsh, Hillenberg, Hartman. Tartakovsky. They only did what they did for themselves and for us. And stuff like this, is why they did it. Keep it up Gato!
The dedication to the remaster for those 2D cutscenes is unreal, it was surreal to me how spot on it all was!
I would say the lines on Kent Brockman felt a touch too thick but I was blown away by the quality of Quimby and the rest of it!
Hey, as a person who has years of experience with toon modeling, I have some suggestions that might help your problems:
Let me say first that I don’t know the exact tools you’re working with, so I don’t know the limits of what you’re able to do. But I’m assuming the cel shader you’re using isn’t actually a true cel shader. Rather it’s a post processing effect that turns off lighting and outlines the outside of objects. So I’m gonna work off that assumption here.
On bart’s no-nose issue: for blender, look up the “inverted hull method”. Essentially it involves using a solidify modifier to duplicate and flip the mesh so that the second mesh is only visible from certain angles, thus creating true outlines. It sounds complicated, but it actually only takes 30 seconds to set up.
On bart’s weird shadows: look up “toon normal editing”, again for blender. This one’s a lot more complicated so it’s not really needed if you don’t plan on having realtime shadows.
On Lisa’s hair: look up “billboards”. They’re meshes that always face the camera. This would not be done in blender, but in-engine.
One final tip: if you still feel you’re not getting enough definition, try manually painting lines or cel shading directly on the textures. For example, the spikey bits of bart’s hair could be outlined in black on the texture sheet so they’re always visibly outlined no matter the angle.
I hope this comment isn’t overwhelming (or condescending). I just find half the battle is knowing the terminology of the problem you’re looking to fix. I hope I was helpful, and good luck with the remaster! I’m in awe at your hand drawn animation!
Awesome information
I’m sure this would be really helpful!
I wonder if there's a place for knowing the terminology for all 3D art, because some stuff is confusing as hell to figure out without the right words
@@goku_dunker_420 yeah, a lot of my learning was spent figuring stuff out myself. BUT in the past few years there’s been a ton of new resources and youtube channels for this stuff! For example, Raymond Cripp’s development logs have super good explanations of concepts, and Royal Skies has great 2 minute tutorials. And if you’re looking for more advanced stuff, Daniel Kreuter, Nhij Quang, and Activemotionpictures are all incredible.
Edit: also since I just realized you said all 3D art and not stylized, I’ll add on Blender Guru’s 3D donut tutorial. It sounds silly but he uses modeling a donut to walk you through learning the tools and terminology of blender.
@@NutyRiver I know about the donut and all that, but I had a glitch when doing it that I couldn't get rid of so I just moved on. I'm currently doing animation and figuring the ins and outs of it
muy buen e increíble trabajo amigo, me imagino todos los problemas por los que pasaste pero el progreso que realizaste en tan poco tiempo ha valido mucho la pena, nunca jugue mucho este juego pero ahora lo estoy considerando a pleno, espero que no te estés sobretrabajando con todo esto, eso puede deteriorarte demasiado en muy poco tiempo, intentaré apoyar como pueda de igual manera, muy buen trabajo!
I'm assuming we're a long way away from this being available but maybe someone important will notice your hard work and hire you for an official remaster project this is some seriously impressive work my guy
That's what i was thinking. At this point they could hire him and flesh his 'team' out with a handful of others to speed things up and call it an official remaster.
"Rotoscopy didn't look right so I just learned how to draw the characters using design references from Matt Groening"
Well, damn. You did a great job.
THE STYLE IS SSCARRRY GOOD! I know how hard it is to nail the Simpsons artstyle, and this is incredibly commendable. Many of these look like complete screenshots from the show. I truly admire your work!
Edit; THE WALK CYCLE BLEWWW ME AWAY!!!! :O
This looks absolutely stunning, I'm suprised how amazing the cutscenes look
You have my immense respect on being willing to hand draw and learn how to animate the characters.
I’ve never played this, but I now will once the mod is released.
It's so good that I would like to see a remaster of Calling All Mixels, I hope everything goes well and we can play your version of Hit and Run
4:49 looks just like a scene in the show! Jesus!
Bro you’re literally recreating a masterpieces with so much talent, the state of the current gaming industry is so unbelievably bad with all that cooperate none sense. So impressive that you managed to do this all by yourself
SO far amazing dude! The mod looks really awesome! I still do watch The Simpsons. But with Disney+
Excellent work, that intro shot is amazing!
Everything here is amazing, especially the animation! It's so accurate to the official style!
Personally, the fact youre doing the cutscenes in 2D animation is fucking mindblowing. Like, I wish the original was done that way in the first place so the cutscenes would hold up today.
I can not believe the amount of love and passion you are putting into this. absolutley insane.
Dudes also hilarious. This is next level stuff.
Dudes also hilarious. This is next level stuff.
Man, I wish you luck with this project, just seeing that animation really says how much dedication you're putting into it. It has it's flaws, but it's still so damn good with the level of effort you're putting in it.
Thank you for demonstrating what is possible with passion and diligence, and it's clear you are very talented as well.
Those cut scenes! One of the best improvements I've seen in a remaster! Can't believe you nailed it so well
That's some true dedication! Learning how the animation is actually done and then replicating so well. My hat's off to you, great job!
The models need a little work but this is extremely impressive. You have all the support from all of us! ✊
The fact that you decided to animate the cutscenes from scratch shows how much love you are putting into the project, its much more than a simple mod, you really want to do a remake of this classic, i take my hat off to you.
Im REALLY looking forward to your take on this. I love the renaissance of H&R mods lately, one the first games I ever played as a kid :)
0:27 FEEF? lol
great work
This is amazing and it’s clear to see just how much effort you’re putting into this. Best of luck with the project!
Those 2d cutscenes looks phenomenal! Literally looks like the show, great job! 👏
WOW. Extremely impressed by the 2D animations, as well as the cell shaded graphics. So many well thought out artistic choices in the project!! Keep up the great work!!!!!
Estás haciendo un excelente trabajo y lo admiro, esto se ve genial!
This is incredible. Amazing work!
Those redone cutscenes look so good, they look like they came from the official studio!
While I feel the character models could use some work (I didn’t even realize they were from The Simpsons Game until it was pointed out) the 2d cutscenes are amazing and honestly look like official art
The re creation of the cartoon cutsc3nes is seriously impressive, great work man
Omg, ur a legend, really well done, i wish someone paid u to make this a real remaster
This is looking so good, I love how you were able to mimic the Simpsons Style
If out of context someone showed me the footage and said it was an early build of a remastered Hit and Run, I would believe them
Its like how as a kid I saw this game, and never even noticed its flaws
Super excited to see this mod develop more
The effort to preserve every little detail in this remaster mod is insane, the cutscenes look like they're taken right out of an episode of the show.
On a side note, is the "FEEF" on the sign a gag I don't get?
no it's just the way the ai did the resolution upscaling, it happened with the gta remake.
@@adepressedcatwithabadnicot246 I don't think that's what is actually happening, the fonts are different and stylized differently, it also doesn't have any of the artifacts upres'd ai images do. It looks like they did that themselves in photoshop. If it's not an actual mistake, it's probably a nod to the bad GTA upscaling
@@jordanseaward4499 GTA's upresing for text was the same way though. The ai was clearly interpreting and rendering new text from scratch.
Noticed it too but it was still funny
@@Rhodochrone that was literally some of the dudes behind texturing not fully understanding the english language since they were foreign, this isn't some kind of future utopia where AI can even generate text based images AND also upscale an image behind it WHILE getting rid of the background behind it dude, everyone who's been saying that just saddens me if people think it's true (and the fact that the first to ever get this technology would be grove street games like WTF?!)
Wonderful work! The word should be "Beef" at 0:29 on the billboard. I hope that helps!
Holy moly, you're REDRAWING the cutscenes? That's quite some dedication I'm impressed
This looks absolutely amazing, the animation is almost indistinguishable from the show. I can't wait to play this.
Holy shit, that's some serious passion and dedication. Drawing and animating the cutscenes by hand must've been a herculean task. Looks amazing! Good job!
I legit have no words to describe how awesome this is. You going so far as to learn the art style of the show to do this is above and beyond impressive. You still need a little work(like with lisa and smoothing out some of the cutscene animations) but you're already well beyond any expectations
The 2D cutscenes looked too perfect that looks like it came from the show. Man, great job!! My congrats!! I would love to experiment this game when it get completed 👏👏👏👏👏
I'm in absolute awe, I cannot believe how well you did with the animation. Absolutely UNBELIEVABLE
I love projects like these that are a labor of love. Here’s hoping you get to a “finished” state without any interference. Keep up the amazing work.
The dedication to this is impressive and inspiring i truly hope you finish this project not only as a hit and run fan but also someone who just wishes you the best
"DON'T EAT FEEF" I am dyslexic and I clocked that
Man the amount of passion and dedication you'd have to have to do this is just astounding in every way
4:02 animations onwards are RIDICULOUSLY impressive
They look like they were taken straight from the show
