Growing up, I loved the Mad Max movies. Mostly because I thought that they were documentary videos about Port Elizabeth. Which would also explain why a massive guy dressed in leather undies and a hockey mask was riding around telling people to leave the BP filling station. And now, PE The Video Game Mad Max has some gameplay to show off.
True, there’s not much gameplay on offer here, but compared to how certain other games release only slivers of new footage between reveal trailers “COUGH” GTA “COUGH”, at least it’s something.
Avalanche Studios is prepping the wasteland for the return of the Road Warrior, and seeing as how they made one of my favourite guilty pleasure games of this generation, Just Cause 2, my sandbox hopes are high.
Plus, I’d really like you folks to visit Port Elizabeth at least once in your lifetime, even if it is a virtual tour. Now to tell Avalanche to make the game wetter, the save files more corrupt and throw in some more Tina Turner.

Thank god I’m not alone . nothing about it stood out , as much as I love Mad Max, this trailer looked pretty meh
ElNicko
July 16, 2013 at 13:42
yep , also , there are too many games to buy now , this is gonna get placed on the back burner.
GTA V and Watchdogs is gonna be taking up too much time (and hurt my bank balance enough)

Yup, looks like it’s gonna get lost in the wake of the bigger titles, ain’t nobody got a pocket full of money

I think any Mad Max fan would have been disappointed, because it’s lacking in the unique elements that MAKE it Mad Max. The Awstrahliah-ness.

Lol true it felt very forced…if that makes sense….but hey. Will reserve judgement till final product…because…democracy

I’m not a huge fan, I only watched it as a child, but it had a very distinct visual style, and it’s well known for it’s quirkiness. I should really watch it again.

Very quirky. Now this game feels like its forcing that quirkiness. And would to rewatch in HD

lets see if ive got this right
so mad max came out
then they made the borderlands game, pretty much exactly like a comedic mad max
and now theyr releasing mad max the game, hoping it will be better than the game it inspired?
so confused

Hahaha Darryn 😀 … you mentioning our home town, and a BP filling station makes me recall the old man who used to wander around my neighbourhood screaming “BP stands for Bloody Poephol” lol

Oh, this has got me excited! I hope it lives up to my expectations. The Mad Max films are my earliest fondest memories of living in a post apocalyptic wasteland.
