    It's going to be an open world game revolving around single player car combat. No multiplayer elements at all.

    Although I'd usually resign any movie-game tie to the bargain bin, I love how Avalanche have improved. Just cause 2 was a cracking game.

    'Soul of a Man' is the name of the tune, but unsure of the version.

    At e3 in an interview with GEOFF of spike they said they're not going to try to link it into the movies, it's going to be it's own thing with its own story.

    If they keep to that, I'll probably buy it.
    Not the biggest mad max fan but it's pretty good.

    If you mean the upcoming movie, I don't think it's totally clear yet whether it'll be a reboot or a continuation of the existing mythology. There isn't even a trailer for the film yet, and so far the only info has come via one official synopsis and a buttload of set photos. (the film thread can be found here, the car designs look fantastic)

    George Miller himself is at the helm and it'd be strange that he would reboot his own brainchild & franchise for the sake of it.

    I read somewhere that Mel will be making a cameo, then Mel saying that he won't be, but could be saying that to hide his cameo, so not too sure what it's going to be like... :confused:

    Looks like a cross between Rage & Arkham City :)

    Looks really polished too

    Better than the train wreck I was expecting from the game play trailer. I hope I won't have the same deja-vu felling I had with Shadow Of Mordor.

    Well if it incorporates other game mechanics to give a new gaming experience like SoM then I am all for it

    I didn't mean it to sound so negative but I did have a feeling of having been there before with the combat in SoM , I did really enjoy the game over all though. It had enough of it's own game despite the core combat. My issue was that the combat wasn't just like Arkham it was the same.

    Also given how long it's taken for gameplay footage to emerge and the changes and delays Mad Max has gone through I'm pleasantly surprised by it overall.

    Maybe this might be one of the live demos at the Sony E3 conference, since thy posted up that trailer.

    Game looks kinda fun though, might be nice to burn round the desert searching for scrap.

    seen em all, cant reccomend the newest one highly enough.

    The first one is the only one that was definitively Australian though, (in my mind anyway, the years have not been kind to my memory) :D

    its very strong in this clip though, to the point of almost being a caricature. - he reminds me of steve irwin or mick dundee.

    Could be a class game if they get it right.

    I remember thinking when watching the film that some of it was actually like playing a game - specifically I was thinking of the GTAA V chase where the boat gets robbed, and the Sand Andreas one that was a shameless ripoff of T2

    I think so, yeah.

    I wonder will publishers look to start spreading out their releases more? Its certainly done no harm for dying light and the Witcher 3.

    This game would probably do better if it was a Jan / Feb release - a nice antidote from the annual barrage of COD and Assassins creed etc.

    I feel bad for this game. It looks like it could be great. But its facing Metal Gear and now probably Fallout 4. They should probably hold off and release it in January - that's what Dying Light did, and it did really well

    Fallout 4 would hurt it badly. I know there's not a chance I'd be picking up Mad Max if it released around the same period as FO4, even though it is a game I want to play.

    that's a feature of the game where nearby villains get a boost so you have to take them down first

    you can get a key here for €21.33

    Same here. Having said that, I felt the exact same way about Shadow of Mordor before its release, and I loved it (well, what I played of it on a mate's PC). So I hope Max surprises in the same way, but I'm definitely waiting for feedback and reviews.

    I'm just watching that video now myself.

    This seems like we've got the combat from Batman combined with the "capture the bases" from Ubisoft: The Game (with a specific flavour of weird and trippy from the Far Cry games).

    I can live with that, but I hope people don't get too hyped expecting much more beyond that cause I'm sick of listening to whinging gamer entitlement from gobshtes who preordered something and didn't get what they wanted :D

    I hate watching game-play vids as they spoil games, but is there any actual gun combat as opposed to just melee?

    Just skimmed through the video. I gotta say... that looks really generic and boring. Also the lack of detail in the violence, blood and gore is disappointing for a mad max game. Basic blood splat effects, no face disfiguring, visible wounds or bruises. Honestly thought they'd let you continue to attack KO/Dead enemies but from the looks of it they just ragdoll and not interactable anymore.

    Not Mad enough.
