Hell.
Fucking.
Yes.
I'd want it to have death screens like in GTA that say :mediocre: instead of WASTED!

I'd want that for every game, come to think of it.

I get half!!
I find it really strange that the same studio choose to make two very similar style games with a release date that will only be 2-3 months apart. Mad Max is a little different, but it's still basically an open world game about causing a lot of destruction. Just Cause 3 just looks bigger and better in every way with a lot more options to cause destruction, and I'm not sure Mad Max's gimmick of focusing on your car is going to be enough.

I almost feel like they are setting Mad Max up to fail by releasing it so close to their stuido's main franchise title, giving all of the advertising to said title, and releasing this game within 1 week of MGSV and Star Wars Battlefront. This would be the perfect summer title when game releases are few and far between, and there is still a lot of time before Just Cause 3 comes out.

What a childish tactic!
Don't you think you should put more thought into your battleplan?!


Why would they intentionally set up a game that could make them a lot of money to fail? Mad Max is a far bigger name than Just Cause. Heck, there is probably more potential money in a Mad Max game than Just Cause simply because of the name.

Here's another E3 video, some of the GT guys talking about the game.

One feature mentioned here that I haven't heard elsewhere: you have to manually refuel your car. Like actually get out, get your gas can out, and pour it in the tank in real time. Kinda cool.

Yeah that's the real interesting thing about this game. I'm totally confident this will be a fun car game that's well put together, but it's coming out on September 1st against bloody Metal Gear Solid V. Will people even notice?

I didn't like any of the Just Cause's either. I just got really bored once I had done a few crazy stunts

I think I need a solid story or a few solid characters at least to keep my interest in chaos simulators like that and I'm hoping the Mad Max games will offer that.

I'm one of them, never even played a Metal Gear game except for Revengeance and that one doesn't really "count" since it's a Platinum game that just happens to have a few Metal Gear characters in it.

I've never owned a Playstation so the Metal Gear franchise has never really appeared on my radar, and I'm pretty sure I'm far from the only one. I've seen a single gif of some dude on a horse kidnapping a jeep with balloons and it made me make a mental note to check if it's any good post-release, but that's the extent of my hype for the new game.

I agree with you. A lot of the core systems felt like boring bland poo poo. The shooting felt terrible, the driving felt terrible, the flying felt terrible.

It was cool to grapple everywhere, but even that got old after a while and it says a lot about the game that I had to cheat to actually make the game enjoyable.

But maybe if they are focusing on a more story based experience with this one, the gameplay will be more focused and rewarding.

Yeah a big problem I had with Just Cause 2 is that I didn't care about the story or anything but the grappling and freefalling and parachuting. You can blow poo poo up but without a compelling reason to it gets really old, and then you eventually just run out of poo poo to blow up.

At least with Mad Max there's a whole universe that I already like and would love to explore as Max in a souped-up V8 car. I thought they consulted with George Miller on the game too, so there's that.

There was no progression to speak of. Upgrade kits just made guns and cars less-sucky and you never got or developed more tricks than you started out with.

I'll gladly get Mad Max new and wait on Phantom Pain because gently caress giving only Konami money for it. I'm just a worried if they're a little too quiet about the game now that we're a month and three days away from release and to know when that loving steam version is gonna hit. Or rather, how bad it will hit PC because this is WB. :bang:

I'm looking forward to see if I can lead enemies into the storm.

I think they also talked about being able to find really good salvage in the storm if you managed to get in and out without dying horribly. Presumably you could just drive into it, and any enemies chasing you will either wisely back off or drive in with you and probably get destroyed.

I'm looking forward to scrounging bits of garbage and cobbling them together into an unholy monstrosity of a machine. I hope there's lots of clothing/armour scrounging too so that I can look equally lovely and cobbled-together.

While it isn't fair to push a potential WB PC port curse on Avalanche Studios (Jesus, it literally is Just Cause 3's twin. Even this version of Max and Rico look almost identical sans the ripped clothing and grappling hook.) I'm gonna play this one safe and likely go PS4. If it doesn't show itself to be another Arkham Knight or if WB just delays the PC release anyway, I can snag it again later on a steam sale. I'm definitely hoping someone can mod in at least the wingsuit from JC3 into MM on the dumb hope I can slightly control how I fly around in the storm.

Good, I hope I can get a really long chain of pursuers on me that can be devoured by it just so I can either get their loot because they followed me or just bail out and watch them get shredded in the wind.

Half of Avalanche got split for this and Squeenix's JC3 and I'm sure that one won't piecemeal your content as bad as whatever WB does. kind of sucks that PC owners will be sticking their dick in a hornet's next if they get a WB game in 2015
