Mad Max game from Avalanche Studios

[Spectacle]

Did you guys really expect them to do good for Mad Max? Of course they're gonna popamole and shit all over it.

Just because they're going to popamole the gameplay is no reason to throw the setting away. I wasn't expecting a game, but was hoping for Mad Max.

It might still be fun, but no way in hell I'm supporting these fuckers with my monies. Non removal from inventory is more in the spirit of Mad Max anyway.

"We treated [the Mad Max game] as a completely new property, and that was really the only way for us to take on a licensed game."
He says that the studio wants to treat it like an original IP,

How can you treat it as an original IP if it is not an original IP? Errmh... what i mean is how can you treat it as an original IP IF IT IS NOT AN ORIGINAL IP?!?!?

and hopes that it can "transcend" backlash from fans of the movie franchise.

They ... hope .... to ... transcend? "Hey good sir i am going to rape your daughter and i really hope i can transcend any possible backlash you may have against me".

 

[Spectacle]

A possible explanation for this bullshit is that the studio was already working on a post-apoc version of Just Cause when some marketing dude decided to slap the Mad Max name on the game. To avoid seeming like complete Jews they have to pretend that a Mad Max game was a plan all along and it's in no way a shallow cashgrab that was originally intended to be something else.

“The setting – where it is in the world – has really nothing to do with the Mad Max video game. It’s really a game to do with the relationships between different people in this world.”

Outraged
But tired
One more
got mired
Why bother?
Why the pain?
They did it before
They'll do it again

Can't wait to see Max using his post apocalyptic grappling hook to attach his post apocalyptic self in a post apocaliptyc helicopters/cars, killing post apocalyptic soldiers in post apocalyptic repetitive missions, shooting with post apocalyptic shitty weapons, then falling with his post apocalyptic parachute, trying to overthrow a post apocalyptic dictatorship in a post apocalyptic island in a terrible post apocalytic story, totally new ip and everything to do with Mad Max.

 

[DalekFlay]

It really is a weird move to turn it into a generic post apocalypse thing they could have easily created themselves. I guess they're counting on the movie to educate the mainstream 15-25 year old male masses on the series and make them buy it on name alone.

Whatever... Just Cause 2 was well worth a $20 purchase for some fun mayhem and I will get this for the same reason.

 

[Whiner]

5$ that there will be zombies.
Good,secure and popular addition for post-apocalyptic setting for this new original IP
Fallout 3 have ghouls and they need to top that.

 

[Spectacle]

If there are zombies I'm going to track down the developers and kick them in the balls.

 

[Western]

They'll make it totally original by being a zany Borderlands clone.

 

[dunno lah]

Somebody call the ICA please? Or better yet, call some Lithuanian hitmen...can't fucking stand the shit people spew from their mouths anuses(anii?).

Looks like a scripted game with the usual 3rd person, press X to "take-down" console junk we've come to expect from our AAA Overlords.

 

[Turisas]

A cool american protagonist for cool american audiences.

 

[ghostdog]

Really, what were you expecting ? A turn based RPG ? A free roaming Gothic styled in Post Apoc ? A MadMaxed GTA Red Dead redemption ?

It's not even part of an actual gaming franchise , it's a game for a fucking new hollywood movie that tries to revive a cult franchise, riding on the recent Post-Apoc hype. AT best you'll get an Uncharted clone, at worst you'll get... a really bad Uncharted clone.

 

[Hellraiser]

Music is shit, the voice over is shit, max's new look is shit. Takedowns are kind of expected since it is a multi-platform release. I'm still looking forward to seeing if they deliver on their car damage and customization model.

 

[garren]

The tender female voice-over and the music doesn't really fit the Mad Max theme either.

Edit: Goddamnit Hellraiser

 

[deuxhero]

Mad Max wasn't Hollywood though.

Plus old licenses are dirt cheep for the most part, and have been used to make some good games in the past (The Warriors).

Why wouldn't you just post the video, who the fuck wants to click through to another site?

ISO standard post-franchise-exhumation vertiginous decline.

Also, Wikipedia says there won't be one more movie. There'll be three.

Ah well, as George Lucas taught, milk a franchise dry and then grind it to dust, and people will pay to see you snorting it. Effort optional.

Wasn't this supposed to be basically Just Cause 3: Mad Max? Damn

Goddammit now I have to watch Mad Max 2 again.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Where are the aussie accents? God damn I bet they retconned Max into an american.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Having Mad Max Australian could count as using Mel Gibson's likeness, which I guess would double the game's budget in a heartbeat.
