blackguy32 posted:I really have a soft spot in my heart for Mad Max 1 and I don't know why. I think its because it really isn't that post apocalyptic. It's because it's an amazing movie.  It is definitely the most realistic post apocalyptic movie though in that you see society gradually break down throughout it. Something Miller does that's really cool is that every time Max enters the police station there's less people in it, and when he goes to get the interceptor at the end he's the only person there and instead of seeing him get into it and start it you just see him fade away as he walks into darkness and then the interceptor speeds out into the camera, it's a cool thing in a movie with many many many cool things.Each movie in the series is different enough that they can be interestingly hard to compare to each other despite sharing the same main character and setting. Like Mad Max was always my favorite series (trilogy before Fury Road) but my favorite one is which ever one I've seen most recently.

I probably should rewatch it now that I know that it curves sharply and maybe I will find some different meaning to it. Maybe it has the Prometheus effect where it gets better the more you watch it.

George Miller lost interest in the project is what happened to Beyond Thunderdome. A long-time friend and Producer on the film died in a helicopter crash while location scouting, kind of broke his spirit from the sounds of things. Which was a shame since Bartertown was a really awesome location.

I love Thunderdome. Sometimes I feel like the only one. I have this thing where I like it when creators do different poo poo with their properties. I think it's rather unfair to expect Miller to have just done Mad Max 3: The Road Warrior 2 at that point. It's a lovely movie that's really inventive and it brings Max's character full circle (at the time, anyway). The entire sequence in the Crack in the Earth isn't nearly as long as people remember and the Lost Kid's mythology and way of speaking and all that awesome jazz really added a lot of weight to the world. That final monologue from Savannah Nix always makes me a little teary eyed.  Also, in some alternate universe, this game is called "George Miller's Mad Max: The Official Game of the Movie"

I'm an unapologetic fan of Thunderdome, warts and all. Yes, it's a massive tonal outlier, and yeah, the kiddie stuff dilutes the traditional last-act murderthon. But I love all the weird characters, I love the cargo-cult aspect of the tribe, and that heroic musical sting when Max pulls out in front of the plane at the end gets me every time. And yeah, Aunty's closing monologue is great. I don't know if I could really rank the movies, personally, because they're all so very different and there's specific reasons I love each one. Fury Road is definitely a masterpiece, though. And yeah, Miller's partner Byron Kennedy was killed in a helicopter crash scouting locations for Thunderdome.

The cargo cult kid tribe in Thunderdome is amazing, and you can see a similar take on that in Immortan Joe's warboys. But it's just sooooo dull. Not because it's too long, but because it's like five different scenes of the kids believing he's Captain Walker followed by him saying he's not in increasingly absurd ways. The concept in general is great.

I wonder how the sequel game will work now that Fury Road was successful enough to make Mad Max: The Wasteland happen. Will it try to incorporate Furosa into the game's world or make the game's world more like the new films?

If they're smart, they'll do none of this, considering how the Mad Max franchise is blatantly set outside of any sort of timeline. Personally I feel like they did the right thing by doing their own thing, but the fact that it's got a son of Immortan Joe and Gastown makes me roll my eyes a bit.

Just because there's no timeline doesn't mean Mad Max doesn't have recursive elements, particularly if they're popular enough. And just because that's how it works for the movies shouldn't mean that the games have to work exactly the same way. You yourself said you'd pay "a disgusting amount of money for Furosa". I'm not asking for a retelling or specific canon between the two, I'm just wondering if they'll try to bring more of the popular elements in future games, and particularly just Furosa herself depending on how the next movie goes.

You can't even give them their own title intros because there's so many of them!

I'm pretty sure Gastown's mentioned in at least one of the other movies. What they should do is make sure any appearance of mentioned locations DIFFERS from the movie or previous game version.

The developers have stated, multiple times, that nothing like this will be in the game- with the exception of the main villain and where the game takes place. This comes up like seriously every 3 pages in this thread. In future games, who knows.

Yeah, all I'm asking is how this could play out in the future now that George Miller is ecstatic that people like Fury Road and that Avalanche aren't just working in conjunction with a very good film, but everyone has seen it several times. I know this MAD MAX game will only have familiar locations and some third son of Joe. But any sequel video game, which will likely occur even if Mad Max forever sits in the shadow of Phantom Pain, is gonna have people hungry for what was cool in Fury Road as well as new things. I'm afraid Fury Road will be a victim of its own success when people will probably want even more of possibly the only successful female character in apocalyptic fiction that isn't someone's arm candy.

Well, other Max titles can always include a different "Warrior Woman". There was one in Road Warrior, afterall.

Sure, but can any of us really remember her name or what she did? Maybe I'm just talking out of my rear end because I saw the movie again and I'm 7 hours away from playing Mad Max on PC, but I think we have a Red Sonja situation here where even if the title still says Conan the Barbarian, you've created a character strong enough to have her own stories, film or video game. Maybe I'm just overestimating how popular Furosa really is in by next year. EDIT: Male Man posted:I'm pretty sure she was credited as "Warrior Woman". So she wasn't really a character and just someone that stood around, growled at Max and then died on the convoy? Crabtree fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Aug 31, 2015 |

The next game needs gyrocopters and flamethrower tankers(if those aren't already in this one) Are there any multiplayer games that are set in a Mad Max-esque setting? Car combat and makeshift weapons are a must.

A few reviews from no name sites that broke embargo are out, decidedly  at 6.5 and 7.5, tl;dr the driving is boring, missions repetitive, and the scenery gets old, but it has a good atmosphere and decent customization options for the car.The reviews are poo poo and not really worth linking since the embargo will be up shortly, but I'd definitely expect similar results across the board from the bigger publications.

It's really going to be whatever you want it to be. There's fast travel if you don't like driving around, and if you don't like wrecking nerds, then clearly this isn't the game for you.
