Orv posted:It turns out the main/JC2 team is working on Mad Max while JC3 is a secondary team within Avalanche. Whether that's ultimately important will have to be seen. I guess it also should be said that Warner Bros studios is bringing over their "arkham combat" to this game, too. Some people I guess can't stand that poo poo but I'd be cool with a heavier, even more brutal version of that.

It appears that the movies ties into the game directly. Scrotus, the main antagonist in the game is one of Immortan Joes three sons This makes me guess George Miller has some kind of involvement in the story which really gives me high hours for the game.

You can see footage of Max fighting Immortan Joe in Gas Town also which is of course not a thing that happens in the movie. I think they're going for the same mindset as the movies where it "ties in" in that it's of course the same world but there isn't really a straight continuity between them.

Also the game's gone through a LOT of iterations, at first it was going to be a "Game of the Movie" thing like King Kong, but that was scrapped during production and was retooled into the current thing. So yes, there WAS a version of the game that had you fighting Immortan Joe, but this game is no longer that.

There's nothing in here that's spoiling anything aside from the bad guy in Fury Road being named Immortan Joe, and Max and Furiosa fight him. SPOILER ALERT they also drive cars and sometimes other cars explode.

So yes, there WAS a version of the game that had you fighting Immortan Joe, but this game is no longer that.  I already said all of this in an article I wrote about the Mad Max games that I linked to in this very thread.  To be clearer though, rather than "Immortan Joe" Scrotus came to pass to separate the game from the movies more so they could do their own thing:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wHpQmN8MXs (Around 1:30 you can see Scrotus even back here) My point was just that they're playing fast and loose with the continuity of the game to focus on making the game cool (much like how the movies are constructed). The game even features a giant sculpture of Dr. Dealgood, visible crumbling skyscrapers, and some other things that wouldn't really have a place in the movie. Scrotus, and the game in general being set past Gas Town was done to help keep this continuity distance so they could do whatever they wanted instead of having it tie directly in. I mean obviously the game is based on the movie, but a lot of its design is using concepts and scrapped ideas that didn't make it into the film itself (like how part of the game's world is definitely a dried out seabed, something only vaguely hinted at in Fury Road depending on how you interpret a conversation towards the end of that movie). Avalanche has been specific about how they are doing this and not particularly concerned with it sharing continuity with the movie beyond it of course being in the same setting like all four movies are. Most notable is that the character model for Max is based on the face used for him in much of the film's concept art. It's directly tied into the movies the same way Thunderdome is directly tied to MM2 or how Fury Road is directly tied to Thunderdome. Which is great.  I don't see why the best of both worlds, both Miller being involved, and it not directly tying in as tightly as some are saying, seem like things that can't happen at the same time when this is literally how the game was developed: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/03/11/where-is-mad-max-s-wasteland-and-does-it-fit-with-the-films.aspx Mr.Citrus posted:Quoting myself from the CD Mad Max thread. When you made that post I actually replied with something similar to what I just posted here.  Either way I'm super hyped for this game. I've been an addict of post apocalyptic games all my life be they Road War, the old Fallouts, Outlander, even stuff like Bad Blood, this really looks like ti will be the one to deliver.

I really like post-apocalyptic games too. The games I want to play are starting to add up--Mad Max'll likely be the game that finally gets me to cave and get a next-gen console, if it lives up to its promise. Also, found this the other day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0JPB4b3Zck A roguelike on Steam--what if FTL-style gameplay was mixed up with Mad Max? Looks pretty cool. Has anyone tried it?

Oh man, I want to believe so bad but it's probably trash. Remember after Ragnarok Online and Lineage II really blew up worldwide, everything NCSoft was involved in was suddenly going to be the next big MMO even though every single one was a not that great bad Korean MMO. They had pretty graphics for the time so they were mega popular. Anyways they had this one, Auto Assault that was getting massive hype, like even GameStop was advertising it on their tvs constantly, it had collectors editions here, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T0Uz45_gec The main thing for the hype was that it supposedly had real time vehicular combat, but it was just a lie with it being typical MMO combat resolution anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQRI-pJwUM4 This was back in the $15 a month days too when that monthly amount was just expected for this kind of incredible experience.

The following suggestion is correct, and you all know it. In this game, when you use the inevitable nitrous button, all it does is crank the gamespeed by 20% and make badguys slow down a bit.

The devs have been doing alot of work to make the game mod friendly (cars/weapons/scenarios) along with fixing the more bullshit scenarios so the game has been getting alot better since release. I liked it, its a great game to kill time on a POS work computer but if you have any doubts def wait for a sale.

The tow line is an object as well, so, in the example they gave, if you nail a car with it and another car drives between you two the second enemy car will snag the tow line and probably rip off whatever chunk of the first car the harpoon is anchored on.

My only worry is that the trailer footage makes it seems like cars evaporate into a firey spray of fuel when you shunt them, where mad max always shows fairly sensible car damage. Like, theres one shot where max pulls out the sawnoff and blows a car to pieces and that's not what I'm looking for here, I want the car to blow to pieces because I shunted it into his pal who was coming the other way.
