Rumor: Mad Max Game in Development

Mad Max 4: Fury Road is the fourth entry in the beloved Australian made film series. There has been talks about a video game tie in which seemingly is still on track as Barlog is involved in production of the movie and possibly in charge of managing the incorporation of the video game using the Mad Max license.

I've wanted a Road Warrior game since I was a kid. Today's powerful hardware can finally do it justice. I imagine crashes similar to burnout, combined with car combat and racing elements.

mcroddi4956d ago

I totally agree, especially an open world game - avalanche would be perfect.

HBK6194956d ago

I would've thought a game pretty much like Twisted Metal only grounded a little more in a realistic post-apocalyptic society would be the best way to go.

The Just Cause dev being in charge is a fairly good sign. They'd just need to drop the cheese and reel it into a serious type of story, acting and theme throughout.

Cool news, i was gonna say excellent news but i know how most movie>>>game games turn out, the new movie will b cool though Tom Hardy is a top notch actor, how do u go from this http://www.scifidimensions.... to this http://www.empireonline.com... ?

Edit: "The Swedish studio is responsible work the Just Cause franchise" hmmmm, not so good

I get a big vibe of Mad Max when I see Rage.

Avalanche Studios Co-Founder Reveals Canceled Iron Man Game Was in Development for Two Years

Avalanche Studios co-founder has revealed new information about the canceled Iron Man game that was in development for two years.

RaidenBlack607d ago

Damn ... now that he mentioned it, Avalanche would've done an interesting job with an Iron-Man open world project.

neutralgamer1992606d ago

Yes but the story would have sucked because none of their games have even a decent story and their games always have performance issues

MadLad606d ago

They don't have the best writers, but they know how to make an enjoyable and engaging open world game.

They feel a lot like Obsidian back in the day. Great developer that's always scraping by and constantly getting screwed by publishers.

mkis007606d ago

Well the most enjoyable part of just cause for me was the jet suit in 3. Played exclusively with it.

ApocalypseShadow605d ago

Stuff like this just happens. This game was cancelled, there was a Superman game that was cancelled, Justice League, Flash game, 2 Batman games, Avengers game, Daredevil game, Spider-Man 4, Marvel Universe Online, etc etc.

I don't doubt that there will be more in the future cancelled. And more future super hero games released that will be great.

Avalanche Studios co-founders establish new studio Elemental Games

From Gematsu: "Elemental Games, a Stockholm-based studio formed in August 2021 by founding members of Avalanche Studios including co-founders Linus and Viktor Blomberg, has officially announced its establishment.

The studio, which is privately held, has a mission to create “high-quality open-world experiences from a creatively and financially independent position.” Its first title, an original intellectual property, is currently in development."

We'll see what comes from this.

Always considered them a middle of the road developer.
Avalanche always made fun games, just nothing truly impressive.

neutralgamer1992762d ago

I agree they are the definition of 7.5-8/10. And their post launch support in the past has sucked when it comes to patches needed to fix known issues
