Gamers have been calling for Simpsons: Hit and Run to be remastered after the Grand Theft Auto trilogy's Definitive Edition was released.

Rockstar Games last week unveiled the revamped versions of GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas and it's been a controversial few days.

While the three iconic games have been given better graphics, some people have accused the developers of cutting corners in some areas as some characters look a little rough around the edges.

But that aside, the remastering of GTA has sparked massive calls for other legendary titles to be brought into the 2020s.

On top of that list appears to be the 2003 Hit and Run video game, where you got to ride around Springfield, picking up people and dropping them off to their destinations in the allotted time.

While it might not sound exciting, the game has an army of fans all over the world. One person was even able to remaster it himself.

There have been calls for some time now for a remastered version to be made and expand the universe that gamers fell in love with nearly two decades ago.

A Reddit thread went viral for highlighting how the time is ripe for a Hit and Run remaster.

One person wrote: "What would be better is if they did a remaster collection of Simpsons games and then announced sequels to those games. Baffles me when you are sitting on an IP like this with so much potential for games. I'd love to see a big RPG open world of Springfield."

Another said: "I wasn't allowed to play GTA as a kid so this took its place and I still think about how fun it was."

A third added: "I would love to play this again."

There are several petitions online at moment that have racked up tens of thousands of signatures and yet Disney has been silent on whether a remaster or even a sequel is possible.

People have also pointed out on the Reddit thread that the GTA: Definitive Edition versions haven't had the best publicity since it was released last week.

Some are worried a similar approach to Simpsons: Hit and Run could ruin its legacy.

Even if a remaster never materialises, it's hard to argue against the idea of simply making the game compatible with newer consoles so people can enjoy the magic of it without having to dust off their trusty PlayStation 2.
