Yup, BJ is talking all over the place.

New trailer looks decent, I do like they went with an Australian after their first trailer had an American, although I think they just got the Australian intern to record it, not a voice actor (or they just told a voice actor to be Australian) That Donal Gibson clip above is pretty great, would have been neat.

It is fanmade, but here is a collection of gameplay footage with the Fury Road soundtrack (Brothers in Arms) over the top, it sets the mood very nicely.

Still really considering giving it the $35 pre-order chance off of GMG. Last game I took the cheap pre-order risk for was Dying Light and that sucker turned out to be amazing.


Heads up, game is 30AUD (or 22.70USD) at ozgameshop, much better than greenmangaming deal, although I don't know if it comes with the preorder car, I presume it does.

Steam key version, decent retailer:

I bought it this evening after looking at gmg and amazon (not up for sale yet there)

How's this work, region wise? Be a bummer to get a region locked Steam key :(

Also, anyone know what DRM this is using? I went looking around and could only find an article from some Avalanche devs talking about invasive DRM is more trouble than it's worth.


I don't know, it is a store aimed at australians based out of the UK, although they sell physical things all over the world.

I just realised that I desperately want there to be a Main Force Patrol yellow interceptor body/paint scheme in this game. Look at this magnificent bastard.



It'd be great if there was an XB Falcon and a HQ Monaro body out in the wasteland. The MFP cars in the movie were ex-Victoria Police pursuit cars with a paintjob, highway patrol cars were yellow all over with POLICE decals on the side and HIGHWAY PATROL on the rear. It seems someone is driving an ex-cop car on the roads again, heritage plates and still has police decals and lights, interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWuE6AsdZCI

21 hours to unlock. Just got my cdkey via email and I'm downloading it now.

Work in the morning, then I have afternoon (an hour before it unlocks) and the next two days off, this works out very well.

5 hours in, what a fun game. I could see some parts getting old or repetitive but I'm having fun, haven't even ventured too far north yet even.

He pronounced it wrong and used it in the wrong context though :argh:

Yeah, while it is nice to have some Australian voices in the game (a lot of the wasteland encounters/intel givers) I hate how Dinkey-di is mis-pronounced. Supposed to be Di as in Dye, not Di as in Dee.

Spying a convoy in the Colossus region from a balloon:


My first storm (other than tutorial one) I had just gotten to a scrap camp, killed the guys inside on foot while the storm arrived and got out just intime to my car. I found a loot crate, harpooned it to stop it blowing away and just after I opened it a piece of sheet metal hit me off a cliff.


I think I might turn all my settings to full as well, PC seems to be taking it easy with a GTX660Ti.

So I wanted to complete a project loot camp before driving around in the storm which just started. I went to squish some warboys before jumping out, one of them climbed on my bonnet and kicked my in the face through where the windshield is supposed to exist. Chumbucket came into the passenger seat to fight them off too :3:


Then I get out to fight them hand to hand but no, I can't do that. A lightning bolt hits two of them, turning them into gibs and throwing me on the ground. (yes that is a head in the air)



This game is the best.

The game is cheaper then the Fury Road DVD. vOv

Anyway, I when you have the ammo to spare I love throwing and shooting a jerrycan into a group of enemies. This was 8 people, now only one (plus one up the stairs)


And some fisticuffs in a duststorm while chumbucket repairs the magnum opus

I think my top five realistic (as in they could do it) dlc options would be:


Motorbike gangs. I get it if making them for the player doesnt work but having some rockraiders would be awesome.

War Rig convoy. Special convoy, perhaps only every few days and doesn't go on a loop, that way you only get one shot at taking it out. Allow for combat on vehicle if possible (like just cause)

Gyrocopter. Take dog, room for a fuel can and dlc includes molotovs you can drop while flying (also a snake) Bruce Spence npc mission giver.

Then some stuff like alternate characters for a newgame+ option or somerhing like the Arkham games. Mel Gibson Max model, Tom Hardy Max model, Furiosa, Toecutter, Goose.

More cars. MM1 Main Force Patrol pursuit interceptors Holden HQ Monaro & Ford XB Falcon and the two paintjobs for them.

I got genuinely creeped-out this morning venturing into the church. I normally listen to music when I play, but my playlist had ended just as I went in, so it was just me and my headphones and all the sounds down there. Spooky.

They did a really good job with the atmosphere in the game.The wide open areas in the early part of the game give a sense that you are vulnerable because you are highly visible to enemies from far away. Then you transition to canyons and hills that have surprises around every corner. Later you see more familiar signs of the former world like highway signs and old gas stations giving a feeling of loss. But the topper is as you get closer and closer to Gastown. The oppressive white and heat of the open desert feels liberating compared to the black sky with oil polluted land, giving an increasing feeling of dread. It's really feels like you are journeying to Mt. Doom.
Gastown is a modern Mordor. Tolkien make it as an industrial revolution type of place, this is a post internal combustion mordor.

Remember the whole Nobody goes to Ravenholm from Half Life 2?
It should be Nobody goes to Underdome.

That place is hosed up and so cool. Game has the best environments, indoor and outdoor.

So, at least one of the Archangels is a reference to an AC/DC song - The Jack. There are already well-known AC/DC references in the films (I'm a rocker, I'm a roller!). I don't have the time or AC/DC knowledge to really comb through them, but I bet some or all of the rest of the archangels are either direct or oblique AC/DC references.

Well the E3 trailer played Hells Bells.
