Post-Apocalyptic settings appeal comes from it's lack of government authority, anarchy, fear and most of all, lack of resources. I don't think setting like these are suited to fast paced action games where you don't care about your safety at all.

Worked well enough in Hokuto no Ken. :3

This sound very clever. It's like you know what you are talking about. Unfortunately it is not the case.

Just Cause 2 was fucking awesome. Ovet the top action in a huge, and pretty sandbox enviroment.

It was worse than mercs 2, and that was already pretty fucking terrible.

It's bad idea to use post-apocalyptic setting if your aim is to be good sandbox game. There are less cars, less people, less cities, so you have endless deserts that doesn't affect your character or mean anything at all. There are no content in wasteland (in especially an universe like mad max where only enemies are rape gangs) to cover for lack of depth this game's usually have. This game would probably have the same blandness borderlands 1 had(didn't played the second) and even that game would have more variant for content than this will have.(If they don't lore rape of course)
Games with resource mechanisms could avoid this lack of content problem by forcing the player into tight situation by using wasteland and using the lawless world.

This type of setting is perfect for survival horrors and rpgs not sandbox action games. It would be interesting how they would get around this problems.

 

[dunno lah]

If the game allows you to fire more than 10 shells, I'd consider it lore rape already...

Max Payne?


Focusing on single player gives a good impression about developer. It could be a black horse of AAA games.

You could make a completely awesome post-apoc survival game based on Mad Max, where petrol and ammo are very scarce, yet something you must expend to advance in the game. I doubt any modern AAAAAA game will have anything like that though, so if there is any resource management you'll probably be able to get all you need by grinding easy enemies.

you expect modern console gamers to be able to handle ammo and petrol managing and not getting non-stop action and explosions?

If you read my post you'll find that I don't.

From GOG? Or did you track down a boxed copy?

Unless George Miller is involved, it is Mad Max in name only.

• Rage2 in disguise?

• Most likely.

I guess the story is going to be good... heh... Avalanche studios really done an incredible job in Just Cause... well , no really... the story was shit. Well, the story is going to be shit to mediocre but the missions are going to be very good... well Just Cause had totally not repetitive missions... no, not really. Okay, it is going to have a shitty story and shitty missions, at least the gun play is going to be fantastic like Just Cause 2... well, not really, Just Cause 2, had a pretty shitty shooting. You are going to be able to do crazy gravity defying shit, at least,... not really, the game is a kinda serious experience this time. So, or someone fired the whole Just Cause team when I wasn't looking or Warner Bros cured them from the mental disease that affected them for so long, because otherwise I have no hope for this game to not be a reskined Just Cause 2, just not so much over the top this time.

The Thief 4 thread was getting kinda stale.We have new boy in the house of decline

"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

... What? Pretty sure it's the exact opposite of that, actually. And I thought Australia was the only location that survived the nuclear holocaust?

Ugh lame.

 

[Spectacle]

Oh dear, this is starting to sounds like just another fail reboot, like Syndicate, XCOM, etc. While it's not a game that's being rebooted, it's the standard operating procedure of slapping an old name on a barely related game just to generate media buzz and fan attention, while making the actual setting and gameplay bland shit to appeal to dudebro gamers.
Cunts.

 

[Zero Credibility]

Oh for fuck sake. Then why even use the Mad Max name if you are going to change everything about it?! I mean, the fans of Mad Max will just be offended about it, and the average ignorant consumer won't care about the name in the first place. So why pay for the licence in the first place?

 

[Jarpie]

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

 

[corvus]

I hope there will be mini nukes.

 

[Borelli]

I was hoping to watch Mad Max marathon right before playing the game to set me in the mood and increase my fun but now i see that that would decrease it because of fanboy rage.
