The Simpsons Hit And Run REMASTERED MOD And Its Cutscenes 12

[@Lattrodon]

It blows my mind how much better the 2D cutscenes look.

[@erickalvarez6486]

I like them old lol, I mean it looks fantastic, but the old 3d models makes it look like a retro game and not a tv show, even new 3d models would bkther me, mames for me losing that "charisma"

[@dillonwright13]

One thing I noticed about them is the shadow behind the characters to simulate the shadows that came with doing cel ink and paint.

[@IsaiahEichler-pk1gd]

I agree. The 2d art style is better.

[@jazzratoon]

​@erickalvarez6486 well it is a remaster which isn't basic upscaling.

[@cringedetector442]

doing gods work You managed to give these animations the gift of life. Honestly, it looks so much more authentic. 03:39 making the reflection of Homer NOT move with the coin is such a small detail but a great touch! I almost missed it.

[@dastanovich2476]

I think the only odd looking thing is at 2:30 The shadow-casting on Homer is really odd, looks like he's behind a cardboard background. And other than that it'd be awesome to see characters emote more in cutscenes (smile, smirk, half closed eyelids, etc.), instead of only having blank faces 70% of the time, even tho that's how it was in OG cutscenes

[@Yfighter2]

Perhaps the shadows are intentional since they would also appear on the show, and were the results of layers of cell animation sheets. The larger shadow meaning the cell with Homer was at the top of the stack 😅😁 personally it’s a detail I appreciate

[@MuffinSeeker]

​@@Yfighter2I like it but I think it's way too intense. It should be more subtle and barely noticeable. Maybe even closer to the "cel" so it doesn't look like the cel is hovering several inches above the background.

[@WittyDroog]

You can tell he's figured that out in later animations, where there's still a shadow but it's not as strong of a separation in his later animations than with Homer there. Sounds like he'll clean it up when he works on the backgrounds

[@thetwistedsamurai]

Dude, the "frame wiping" on the Honor Roller scene looks CRAZY GOOD. It looks borderline official. I can see how much you're improving with every cutscene. It's funny you mention specifically which scenes you wanna reanimate, cause I didn't wanna be a debbie downer and say "oh these could use improvement", but no, you LITERALLY had the exact same constructive critique I had about the walking animation and the skateboarding animation. Everything else looks REALLY solid.

[@yamalpaca5861]

2:03 there's an error with the paper on the desk that lasts for a few frames 3:10 look at this comparison, Homer and Bart in your animation look up too early as the UFO flies away your goal to reanimate all of the cutscenes is the best part of this project. since there's a lot more cutscenes to work on, I hope this project continues to be fun for you

[@1UnderKable]

I really like how you have a shadow behind the characters sometimes to emulate the way an animation cell would occasionally cast a shadow onto the layer below. Stuff like that and the characters' expressions are what make these feel so authentic.

[@GT3NB]

Brother learned how to pretty much flawlessly make the Simpsons itself on his own just to enhance what would already exceptional remaster effort.

[@tyryanart]

Cutscenes are looking great! The 3d house came out fantastic as well. One suggestion I had mentioned in another video is the profile view where Apu looks at Bart, moving his pupil to the edge of the eye. It'll help it look like his eyeline is at Bart and not off in the distance.

[@xeninterloper]

I’ve been following this project since your first few videos about it. All together, this is extremely impressive!

[@pedro.brantes]

3:53 - The facial expressions on Margie have improved a lot in the scene, keep up the excellent work.

[@PizzaPatriarch]

For 5:55 Apu definitely needs a few in-betweens before the lean, the walk itself looks fine maybe slightly more height on the arm movement. For 6:29 even a single blink for Bart would be enough.

[@MountainUnderTheSun]

it’s subtle but the changes in posing/animation to make the 2d more accurate to the show’s style makes it clear how much extra thought and care was put into it

[@GmaerXQ]

This series is looking amazing, closing in on official standards! I think the Truckasaurus intro needs some Camera-Shaking when it roars, like ingame to show the force of it. Some cutscenes, such as paranoid Homer, have a shadow effect on a kind of Background when it doesnt really need one; it's almost like he's standing infront of an invisible field. Shadows should probably be on the characters or the actual walls themselves.

[@luigificationful]

I believe that the shadows are intentional to replicate the shadows the cels cast on the background in earlier seasons of the show which makes it feel more authentic

[@fixedfunshow]

@@luigificationful It doesn't work really, if you wanna do that you have to add more filters.

[@JayFFAFAlesanaES]

There was already a poll for this and the shadows were chosen

[@JRS06]

I'd reccomend keeping Bart static for the "I knew there was a rational explaination" bit. The way he says it whilst sitting deadpan still is what makes it funny.

[@errickg8510]

0:45 for some reason, the meteor was removed. but other than that, it's great lookin' so far. don't ask why, but just thought i let ya know about that. but again, keep it up. keep making this childhood memory of mine even better, and of course deep appreciation will follow.

[@rashbandi9835]

I think it's really cool how you're able to match the technical aspect of the show's animation, like framerate and cinematography. Keep up the amazing work! I wish I could support the project more directly

[@tibby7709]

ikr was almost convinced it was like tab thru an ai trained on Simpsons episodes at first lol

[@wellspokenrambler]

it's some phenomenal work you've done on it! If i was gonna offer a minor constructive critique - the original animation at 1:34 of the t-rex skeleton has some sinister red lighting and harsh black shading which not only sells its threat level, it also helps it stand out against the similarly-grey background. I definitely wouldnt recommend trying for that level of lighting on everything since that amount consistently across all scenes wouldnt be very simpsons, but having just a bit more of that dramatic lighting in that specific moment could help the dinosaur stand out against the background AND pay homage to the lighting seen in stuff like the Treehouses of Horror or the earlier Sideshow Bob episodes (BARTDOYOULIKEMYNEWCHAINSAWANDHOCKEYMASK)

[@MaskedMan101]

Cool video! I really like what you do, I can’t wait to see your mod release. But I have some advices: 1) 3:00 - I think you need to redo the logos in the background, especially the Krusty Burger logo. 2) And you're right that many of the backgrounds need to be redone, especially in the Simpsons' house. I advise you to take the show for references.And sometimes the backdrops look a little empty, or not like in the show. But other than that you're doing an amazing job.

[@MuitoNormal]

These cutscenes must be a lot of work to do, but man... It's amazing how you captured the essence of the show.

[@xeninterloper]

Also one recommendation for a change: in the cutscene where the dinosaur fossil wakes up, there is the shot that zooms in on Apu and Bart. Apu looks at Bart shocked, but Bart doesn’t look shocked at all. I think his facial animations could use some work in this scene to convey that

[@DaRealBruner]

4:55 I do think the motions are a bit static in this cutscene. Could maybe help if you did the classic "move character's head up and down occasionally when they are speaking" technique.

[@SaenGaems]

i agree, try and do stuff like that before backgrounds

[@laundromast]

well, the animations are subject to change like said in the video, but I do agree with this.

[@MariktheGunslinger]

Apu's could be improved, but I like how blunt and blank Bart's expression is, helps sell the joke better.

[@SaenGaems]

@@MariktheGunslinger yeah 100%

He actually addressed this at 6:30.

[@SuperWiiBros08]

I've never played Simpsons Hit and Run but I'll totally will for the first time once this project is complete

[@Whurlpuul]

Its really amazing how youve added simpson-esque flourishes that youd see in the original animation but not in 3d like on kent brockman's broadcast or on marge's eyes. Also, some of the 3d cutscene models move in ways that is really hard to recreate in the traditional 2d artstyle which youve done flawlessly.

[@thepenguin55]

Incredible work. You are recreating some wildly complex shots in a way that I don't think most watching this truly appreciate. And you're making the right call with Bart's expression in that scene. People are over analyzing this shit.

[@GetToThePointAlready]

SO MUCH BETTER! The amount of redone cutscenes made my christmas early! Thank you! More more more!

[@vladdyboy2612]

Daaaamn, I am truly impressed with your work my friend. Most things you pointed out to be flawed I wouldn't have even noticed myself. Some adjustments are warranted, you're right, but from one modder to another, don't obsess over small details until you're done with everything major first. Only then you can do a clean up pass on everything you deem as not being up to your standars. Hope this helps, I'm rooting for this project 100% and I'll pledge something once my paycheck hits. Keep it up!

[@HannibalKantter]

Great job as always, don't beat yourself up over minor details.

Also, watching the Level 1 map almost fully remastered is glorious, I can't wait for the next video 👌

[@justinbuddy56]

I feel like it’s been mentioned before, but I’d like to see the opening cutscene have a camera lens/GUI for the Spy Wasp. To me it’s not immediately clear that we’re seeing the Simpson’s house through something else’s eyes without it.

[@GordonFreekman]

The paper that the newscaster (i forgot his name) has snaps to a new position in the cutscene

[@Diygamer55]

In the hovering camera animation you forgot to add the alien hud.

[@purpleplasma4824]

This is godlike if you're wondering for improvements! - 1:20 The foreground hud from the bee's POV - 1:36 The dinosaurs design/style. - 2:02 The paper. - 2:59 + 3:15 Krusty's head. - 4:22 How fast it zooms and the left side of the wall. - 4:52 Barts hair has a chip 3rd spike from the left. - 5:10 Flower These are nitpicks so do not feel discouraged keep up the amazing work.

[@gavitraxmzproductions9870]

This is really really impressive, especially considering this is the project that you learned animation doing. I love a lot of the cartoony flourishes that you put in. Felt straight out of early Simpsons. All of the little details are pretty damn accurate to how they look and move in the show. My only gripe is the occasional weird drop shadow behind characters. Makes the image feel flat rather than like a 3D world made up of lines and color.

[@Fentiman]

Your dedication to this project is incredible

[@brandonthekalamari]

the work you putting in this is insane

[@thechrissguy]

Every damn cutscene looks GOD-LIKE. I appreciate all of your work.

[@EinDose]

The main thing that strikes me about some of these cutscenes isn't even flaws in the remastering (you're doing amazing), but that the game wavered so much between being stunningly accurate and inaccurate to the show, and it shows all the more in the remastering. When put in the show's style, it's really noticeable how correct they got the Kang and Kodos scene, or the Krusty commercial; they're framed and animated perfectly for how the show handles them. Meanwhile Kent Brockman actually isn't, and reflecting the Hit & Run animations in the show's style shows it.

[@apinzonl]

ES un trabajo excepcional y comparto lo que mencionas acerca de mejorar los fondos de algunas escenas, especialmente la cinemática donde Marge habla con Homero mientras éste se esconde detrás de la cortina. En estas da la impresión de verse muy plana la animación, sin profundidad de campo debido a la iluminación y sombras.

[@lDeadlyIllusion]

4:38 you forgot to draw the spy wasp.

[@motorhead41]

My jaw dropped as soon as I saw the first redone cutscene and stayed that way until the end of the video. This is crazy good and the amount of work that must of went into this is just unfathomable. So glad to see that this legendary game is still getting love from the community.

[@Raining4rain]

i adore this series, every single animation displayed looks incredible

[@sharlshark]

You've done a really good job with these cutscenes! The biggest nitpick I have is that the cutscenes look a little flat at times? It's hard to pick out why but I think these may be a few things. - At 1:00 The two of them don't produce any shadows on the ground in the reanimated cutscene. Perhaps blocking out the light behind them would help make it feel more like they're in the scene? - I think shifting hues and values as well as some color correction in terms of the overall image may help bring out a scenes lighting more. This is also an issue the original cutscenes have, so I think its up to you wether or not you choose to change it as you see fit. - At scenes such as 3:00, it may add emphasis to the sudden stop if bart closed his eyes when his head bounced forwards and then back? This is another issue that is shared both between your take and the original cutscene. You can take these thoughts how you want, feel free to take in none of the information if you'd like. It's just my opinion, after all! These cutscenes are coming along great, I can tell you've put a lot of work into them and I don't want to pressure you to do any of this.

[@Geass_Knightmare]

I have to agree, some scenes do look flat but I really don't know what makes them look that way

[@Captain_Maeve]

At first I thought it was just some filter over the ed animations that made it look like the style, but quickly realized the differences between the scenes. They must have been drawn frame by frame with the original as reference. This is impressive.

The first time I clicked on one of your videos was I saw the thumbnail with your new cutscenes and I was like, this such clickbait and watched it and when I saw the cutscene you made (which was the first one on this video) I was genuinely blown away. But they keep getting better. The one with homer sitting in the living room with beer watching the tv as Kent Brockman talks genuinely looks like the show. Incredible. Cannot wait to play this when it's finished. It will be worth the wait. One edit I would make is on the scene where Homer says "The black van is spying on us" there is like shadow/outline that is on Homer that doesn't really fit

[@whyhechikntho]

I know this is 4 weeks later, but wanted to say how impressive it is that you got the characters looking this accurate to the show already. It's clear you've done your homework! As for improvements, you already seem to have realised where most of them should lie, so I won't touch on those. The Bart scene could definitely use some touchups though. I think it's less that it's static, and more about how it was left static. Just looks more like a standard/stock expression than him being out of it, or "head empty", as it were, like it more clearly conveys in the 3d shot. Again though, a whole lot more effort put into this HD/remastered pack then more people would put in, keep it up!

But everything else wow. Good stuff 👀

[@evanmico]

you continue to put out great work! I do wanna mention, in the scene where krusty the clown is on TV, his lip movements seem almost de-synced or something. They just don't feel crisp with what he's saying. There's a similar thing happening at moments like 2:03 where the lip flaps just seem slightly off.

[@ungabunga9410]

The only thing i think could improve would be to add some more shading and highlights in some scenes since they can look kinda flat specially those in day time, ofc that's WAY easier said than done but other than that this is perfect. Edit: other than that un the game Bart's rocket "Honor Roller" written on the side of it, which isn't un the cutscene. But that's just a detail

[@MadameSomnambule]

I'm especially impressed by the shot where the camera zooms around the house from looking at Marge at the front door to looking at Homer snoozing on his couch, that must've taken a long time to recreate!

[@limbus66]

This is unbelievably good work. I'm blown away by how good all the character animation looks, and when it looks just ok it's in the exact same ways classic SImpsons did. Incredibly authentic. If I had to nitpick anything I'd say some of the backgrounds look a bit basic or need a bit more thought, the most obvious example is Bart and Apu standing staring at each other in the museum entrance, the wall behind them is the exact same colour as the wall in the foreground which makes it look flat. I think if that was a scene in a classic SImpsons episode, they'd draw the background darker to make it look moody and shadowy. Also in the shot of the Dinosaur skeleton, it could probably do with some shading to make it pop out of the background more.

[@CommieApe]

Your 2d work is the best part about the whole project even the weakest parts are insanely well done. The “weakest” would be the character model changes with the open hands that arent dynamic but even that is not that big of a deal.
