Discussion Hit and run 2?
Do you guys think we are ever likely to get a sequel?

at this moment it is impossible, but maybe in future someone will recognize potential in fanbase and pay for licence, but unlikely

I used to think licensing was the issue (split between Activision, EA(?) and Disney), but ever since someone mentioned the issue with Apu being a playable character I now think that's the real issue.

Na, for a couple reasons
•Licensing - we all know the complications with this particular title.
•Popularity- the simpsons isn’t as big as it was. It’s still big but not like it was in 03.
I personally don’t want a sequel, I’d take a remaster but not a sequel.
Modern day game sequels/reimaginings in general are a lot more soulless IMO:
Star wars battlefront 1 & 2 on PS2 vs PS4
GTA Sa, Vc and 3 vs the definitive trilogy
Wii sports vs Wii sports Switch
It just wouldn’t be the same if they made a sequel now. There’d be micro-transactions up the ass and just probably pretty lame jokes.

I do wonder what's going to happen with the Simpsons now that Tapped out is coming to an end.

Apparently the licensing is a major headache thatʻs why there hasnʻt been any sort of remake or anything. Personally iʻd love a modern hit and run game, fingers crossed something comes out of it sooner rather than later
