Mad Max
 

I apologize if there is already a thread for this but the name Mad Max is too short for the forum search engine. Anyhoo, the gameplay looks like lots of fun.

Re: Mad Max
 

By the people that made Just Cause 2...so I will buy it day one.

Re: Mad Max
 

Had no clue it was the same studio. All I can say is that it looks awesome. I just hope it's not a PS4 exclusive and that it's also coming to PC.

Re: Mad Max
 

They have been pretty silent about this one until recently. I'm surprised they didn't try to get it out before the new movie hits. Is JC3 coming out this year as well?

Re: Mad Max
 

They were going to try but it got delayed I'm pretty sure. Game looks great though and should be a day one purchase for me.

Re: Mad Max
 

It's coming to PC, PS4, and XB1.

Re: Mad Max
 

I just noticed this was $52.99 pre-order for Prime members. I'm really curious to see how this game turns out.

It releases the same day as the DVD/ BD (September 1).

Re: Mad Max
 

Weird how they're using a world template by Fury Road. Warboys, the baddie is a son of Joe, etc and this Max isn't Hardy. Just odd to me.

Re: Mad Max
 

1: likeness rights cost money. Using a generic face doesn't.

2: you see the back of the character's head for most of the game.

3: The character already transitioned between the likenesses of Gibson and Hardy so there isn't truly one definitive face anyway.

Re: Mad Max
 

IGN is supposed to post their review at 4pm Pacific on Monday, so that must be when the review embargo ends. I decided not to preorder after watching some preview gameplay footage. It just seems like it could get really repetitive really fast. Still curious, though.

Re: Mad Max
 

Makes sense. I'm expecting a copy from Gamefly to come in the next week. Didn't want to risk it either. Looks cool enough, but could definitely be a disappointment as well. if I like the rental and it drops cheap for BF, maybe I'll pick it up then.

Re: Mad Max
 

I was hyped on this, too, but with MGS V I won't have time. I might grab it when it's $30 or under.

Anyway, I'm guessing a 7.4-7.8 ish review score.

Wasteland side mission...Ashes to Ashes....

Re: Mad Max
 

Is the audio on that video low or is it just me?

Re: Mad Max
 

Oh man, this game looks like it could have potential, but the reports of it's "troubled" development and lack of early reviews are troubling.

Re: Mad Max
 

Looks like fun to me. I'm picking this and Mad Max up tomorrow. Plus, this comes with a 10 dollar reward certificate for pre-ordering it from Best Buy. Unless the game is downright broken, then this should be fun to play and the map looks pretty damn cool.

Re: Mad Max
 

Well the map apparently goes on forever, so good luck exploring that. :)

My copy shipped today from Gamefly, so I'll be checking it out for sure later this week.

Re: Mad Max
 

Yeah, they didn't want to make artificial boundaries. They instead chose to create dust filled wastelands beyond the game play area, which looks to be large and very detailed.

Re: Mad Max
 

:scratch2:

Re: Mad Max
 

They've had crazy good deals on the PC version of this the last couple weeks. Like 50% off. Even still, I can't pull the trigger. Word of mouth coming from people who have had extended hands on sessions seems to be a collective "meh," so I think I'll pass for now.

Re: Mad Max
 

Best case scenario : This game is actually great, defies all expectations for a new IP based on a movie franchise and gets super reviews. That's exactly what happened with another WB Interactive game : Shadow of Mordor last year. Even in that case, the game was $25 on Black Friday some 2-3 months later and everyone who purchased it at launch regretted it. And there's distinct chance that this game isn't as good as Mordor was.

Re: Mad Max
 

8.4 from IGN. I was pretty close.

It sounds like a lot of fun but I'm definitely waiting.

Re: Mad Max
 

Not only that but didn't the GOTY version hit stores in less than a year?

Re: Mad Max
 

That's a pretty damn good score, in my opinion.

Re: Mad Max
 

Yeah, if you watch it, their review here is overwhelmingly positive.

Re: Mad Max
 

Gamespot only gave it a 6.

Re: Mad Max
 

That review sounds great. Framerate issues worry me though. Huge pet peeve of mine in gaming.

Re: Mad Max
 

Gamespot is terrible these days.

Not arguing about validity of that particular score, but seriously, I used to love that site.

Polygon: 5/10
Gamespot: 6/10
IGN: 8.4/10
GamesRadar: 4/5
God is a Geek: 7.5/10
Game Informer: 7.5/10

Re: Mad Max
 

Word from people that have been playing it today is that the frame rate issues have already been patched.

Re: Mad Max
 

My copy of Mad Max from Best Buy rang out at 39.99 plus tax (bundle) instead of my GCU price of 47.99 plus tax. I purchased this and the movie on the same receipt so it must be giving a greater bundle discount. Alright with me.

Re: Mad Max
 

IGN is doing a live play of the game right now, mates. . Looks really good in play. I am officially interested in this motherfucker.

Re: Mad Max
 

I've enjoyed my first three hours with this. It's like all games mashed into one game. All the games.

Re: Mad Max
 

Solid game; captures the tone of the films well and is by no means easy; really puts the Arkham games to shame in the difficulty category.

Re: Mad Max
 

I hope this game does well and about every trailer of in-game footage looks good. I can see the single player aspect but this game would be a blast if there was some "Horde" type mode where 2-3 Mad Max characters could defend an outpost, platform or depot of some kind much like in the Mad Max 2 movie. hope to see and hear more on this....may end up being another sleeper hit like Shadow of Mordor.

Re: Mad Max
 

I picked it up and only played for about an hour so far. Enjoying what i have played though and no regrets so far. Gonna be a fun Labor Day weekend between this and Phantom Pain.

Re: Mad Max
 

This looks like one movie tie-in game that is worth its price tag. Adding to my must-play list.

Re: Mad Max
 

I played it for an hour or two. Pretty fun so far.

They could have done a better job with the button mapping. Making the same button for "Drop Down" and "Fire your incredibly rare shotgun ammo at nothing in particular"? Not the brightest decision.

Re: Mad Max
 

4 hours in and I am very happy I picked this up.

Re: Mad Max
 

I've got 9-10 hours in and love it. The only problem is that you could be having a car battle and they just disappear. Sucks when you spend a couple of minutes ramming them for scraps to have them just go bye, bye. The map is pretty damn massive and detailed.
