    In 1979, George Miller’s Mad Max introduced movie-going audiences to a post-apocalyptic anti-hero, the titular Mad Max, who went on to inspire generations of other morally ambiguous pop culture figures across multiple mediums of entertainment. Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome hit theaters in 1985, marking the third entry in the wildly successful series. It unwittingly denoted the start of a decades-long drought, too, which wouldn’t end until Mad Max: Fury Road and Avalanche Studios’ Mad Max released in May and September of 2015, respectively.
    Though the open-world Avalanche game bore minimal relation to the fourth Mad Max film, the two projects shared a tumultuous production history. However, confusion abounds with regards to when exactly their paths crossed and later diverged. The sprawling Mad Max adventure that players ultimately installed on their PC, PlayStation 4, or Xbox One was not what George Miller initially had in mind upon pursuing a video game adaptation several years prior. Still, Avalanche Studios managed to produce an experience that honored the director’s seminal epics.
    The crew at Avalanche also carefully crafted a product that fans of its past open-worlds could appreciate, even if they harbored little to no nostalgia for the blockbuster film franchise. Accomplishing as much proved an arduous task; although, at the very least, the hard work went on to cement the licensed title as a cult classic worthy of its namesake.
    This is the history of Mad Max.

      @Axonteer Před 2 lety +59

      never played mgsv but yea... and especially because those games (bitcher 3, metal wanzer V , batman arkham squire ^^ ) are huge timesinks, its a very tough road to get players attention. Something devs dont realize, Most people only have 24h days and have to work/study/do other things during the day and cant play two massive titles at the same time (litteraly, i mean multiboxing) . And that focus on day one sales is sickening.

      Sleeping Dogs was amazing and the one complaint I have about it is the city itself. Once you start noticing all the things that don't work it feels like the city is a decor. What I mean by that is things like a big tall building that is flat with pipes and air conditioning on 2 sides and stores on the front and back. Not a single door that look like it could lead to the upper floors. The alley behind the bar has a lot of buildings and rooftops and all are impossible to reach from the regular map. After seeing the GTA4 and 5 maps that look like real cities from every angle it was a bit annoying once I started noticing the flaws of the Sleeping Dogs map. That said I still played through the entire game twice.

      I don’t think it’s glitched, if it’s the one where you have to get a certain amount of scrap from that settlement project that gives you scrap while the game is tuned off, you simply can’t get it anymore. A year or so ago they turned off the servers for the game which made that project not accumulate scrap anymore, making both the 2 challenges and the trophy related to it impossible to complete nowadays

Had George Miller had any input in making this game he'd never allow for such a thing to be included in it.

    • @MadMaxBible
      @MadMaxBible Před 2 lety +4

      ​@@the_real_Kurt_Yarish Well, long story short - George Miller and WB share the Mad Max IP and George is the creative guy, WB are the corporate folks that take care of the financing, distribution, merch etc. But WB doesn't really get this IP so they did some dumb shhi stuff with it that pissed George Miller off as far back as in 1990 when they made the crappy Mad Max game on the NES. Game so bad George Miller tried to block WB as much as he could from ever selling the MM license to game developers.
      And I know that some people might think I'm over exaggerating about this whole thing but WB back then were really a bunch of morons with dumbass ideas about the franchise just because they financed it and shared rights. For example - they wanted to release Fury Road without the Citadel scenes. George had to fight them tooth and nail to film the rest of the movie because they really thought the film was complete without those scenes.... there's plenty more examples (messed up toys, lawsuits etc).
      Anyway, to answer your question - I don't think this caused Miller to rewrite Furiosa. The script for that film has been around for approximately 13 years and the outline of it remains the same till this day. Another positive is that WB now has a completely new management that understands what they're dealing with, George Miller specifically mentioned that during the Furiosa announcement conference. So I think we're good. Maybe we'll even get a proper Furiosa tie in game with George Miller's name on it?
