Cool, will be looking into this when there's more than a teaser.

It won't be playable on the showfloor, right?

Spoiler

I must admit I wanted Just Cause 3.

Press release:

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment Announces Post-Apocalyptic Open World Action Game Mad Max(TM)

Debuting for Next-Gen, Current-Gen Consoles and PC in 2014

BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 10, 2013--
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today announced Mad Max(TM), a new open world, third-person action game where players become Mad Max, a lone warrior in a savage post-apocalyptic world where cars are the key to survival. The game will debut for PlayStation(R)4 computer entertainment system, PlayStation(R)3 computer entertainment system, Xbox One(R) the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, the Xbox 360(R) games and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows(R) PC.

Scheduled for release in 2014, Mad Max will deliver dynamic, open-world gameplay where gamers fight to stay alive in The Wasteland, using brutal on-ground and vehicular combat against vicious gangs of bandits. Players are challenged with treacherous missions as they scavenge the dangerous landscape for supplies to build the ultimate combat vehicle.

"Mad Max places gamers directly into the driver's seat of their ultimate customized vehicle to battle it out in the action-packed, open world of The Wasteland," said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production & Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "We are very pleased to work with Avalanche Studios to provide a next generation gaming experience with robust fighting paired with dynamic vehicular combat."

"Over a decade of creating open world experiences has led us to this point," said Christofer Sundberg, Avalanche Studios Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer. "The Wasteland lends itself incredibly well to the high level of player freedom with which Avalanche Studios has become synonymous. This unforgiving environment inspired us to create a gritty and diverse experience where driving, fighting and scavenging are essential for survival."

Mad Max is under development by Avalanche Studios. For more information, visit www.madmaxgame.com, Facebook.com/MadMaxGame and Twitter.com/MadMaxGame.

 

[Tizoc]

Kenshiro, is that you?

 

[Salsa]

I bet a lot of people thought this was Fallout 4 (specially right after elder scrolls online) and creamed their pants in advance, lol.

 

[Eusis]

I bet a lot of people thought this was Fallout 4 (specially right after elder scrolls online) and creamed their pants in advance, lol.

Well, anyone who wants an open world post-apocalyptic adventure still got something anyway, so I guess it works as a consolation prize.

Spoiler

It'll probably have better action and run better anyway.

 

[Rayven_king]

Kenshiro, is that you?

Your already dead!

 

[Suikoguy]

Good developer choice on this one.

 

[ezekial45]

This is fantastic. Though i was hoping for JC3 from them, this is nothing to turn your nose up at. A Mad Max open world action game is gonna make for a fun time.

 

[Graphics Horse]

No grappling hook no buy.

Is this tied to the new film exactly or a different take on it?

 

[Salsa]

edit: eh nvm

 

[nded]

I smiled when I saw the leg brace.

 

[Klocker]

oh shit... Avalanche and on Xbox One?

damn I love MM and avalanche

when I saw the teaser I thought maybe it was PS4 exclusive

 

[MrCunningham]

No grappling hook no buy.

Is this tied to the new film exactly or a different take on it?

I would imagine that this is an original story that takes place in between Mad Max 1 and Road Warrior, since Max still has his V8 Interceptor in once piece.

I bet a lot of people thought this was Fallout 4 (specially right after elder scrolls online) and creamed their pants in advance, lol.

I did, I really did (except for the pants creaming)...

 

[Amagon]

Fuck me, I want to see gameplay video asap!

 

[Discotheque]

Fuck. Yes.

As somebody who is a big Mad Max fan and furiously waiting for Fury Road this was a fucking nice surprise during the conference.

yeah. was pissed that they hid his face though. will it be modelled after tom hardy or mel gibson (would greatly prefer the latter but the former would make more sense)

he's definitely got the hair.

edit: OH SHIT I SEE A FACE. it's mel

 

[Heart Attack]

Fuck yeah. This game will deliver. In Avalanche I trust.

 

[Always-honest]

Oh nice. Completely missed this.

 

[ekim]

SO where is Just Cause 3?

 

[Freezie KO]

You can play as Mel Gibson with QTEs to get drunk, beat your girlfriend, and insult Jews.

 

[ArjanN]

Kenshiro, is that you?

Kenshiro was obviously heavily inspired by Mad Max.

 

[Tizoc]

Kenshiro was obviously heavily inspired by Mad Max.

Yeah I know, and in the Shura arc there are a few panels where he looks like Cobra-

 

[catapult37]

Does this mean no just cause 3? This is a one-game-at-a-time studio, right? Hrm...

Edit: at least they can use this game to get used to the hardware, then blow our minds with JC3...

 

[Data West]

Is this based on Road Warrior Mad Max, Mad Max Mad Max, or Thunder Dome Mad Max?

I'm ok with the first two. Not so much the latter.

Does this mean no just cause 3? This is a one-game-at-a-time studio, right? Hrm...

Edit: at least they can use this game to get used to the hardware, then blow our minds with JC3...

Just Cause 3 has been in development for a while. This has just been in development for even longer.

 

[Dick Justice]

Doesn't look like either Tom Hardy or Mel Gibson will be lending their likeness.

 

[Linconan]

I smiled when I saw the leg brace.

I smiled, once i woke from being passed out from the shock,lol.
I was like, "omg omg omg" *paper bag* OMG OMG_________
*wakesup*
*sogoodgif*


Open world, Mad Max, Next Gen, Avalanche = pure win
omg i can't wait ____________

*faints again*

 

[anddo0]

Avalanche knows how to make fun open world games, so they have my interest. I can't shake the Rage vibe from what I've read about title thus far. The focus on car combat, the settings. I liked Rage, flawed as it were. So, that's not a bad thing. I just hope Avalanche stays true to form and continue to deliver that open world freedom. Obviously, Mad Max will have a more serious/gritty tone compared to Just Cause. I just want it to be fun.

That's how they're going to roll, huh?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Jeez, yet another CG trailer.

I'm liking the screens though, but it being cross generational is clearly holding it back. Guess it started as a PS360 game and was then ported over.

 

[Beermeister]

Doesn't look next gen. :/

 

[54-46!]

Just Cause + Mad Max sounds like a match made in heaven, sign me up.

 

[LuchaShaq]

I love Just Cause but think Mad Max is super dumb.

Kinda torn.

 

[sflufan]

ALL OVER MY FACE!

 

[Sickboy007]

I love Just Cause but think Mad Max is super dumb.

Kinda torn.

Well Just Cause isn't exactly the definition of sophisticated brilliance either, storywise.

 

[Doomshine]

I love Just Cause but think Mad Max is super dumb.

Kinda torn.

How is Just Cause not super dumb?

 

[ackbar]

What is the timeline? Pre or post Thunderdome? Give me some of that Tina Turner!

 

[TheJollyCorner]

they better have Thunderdome somewhere around in this world.


TWO MEN ENTA!

 

[Ramenman]

The game is still in alpha stage btw, so looking pretty nice I'd say.

Also, "Avalanche Studios' open-world Mad Max game isn't based on any one film, but uses the series' iconic elements and atmosphere to create a new adventure."

Seems better to me. I don't want any story-driven crap ruining Avalanche's open-worldness.

Also the game is playable on the show floor, so I hope we get to see some gameplay, even if just shitty screener.

Does this mean no just cause 3? This is a one-game-at-a-time studio, right? Hrm...

Edit: at least they can use this game to get used to the hardware, then blow our minds with JC3...

They're working on three AAA games, each with a different publisher. Mad Max is only one of them. Avalanche has grown a lot these past few months, and they even have a new studio in New York.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

I was so fucking hyped when this was revealed at E3.

....because I thought it was Fallout 4, at first.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I love Just Cause but think Mad Max is super dumb.

Kinda torn.

The only way you can compare those two are through the story and the tone/aesthetic.

Story-wise just cause is dumb as shit.

 

[Simo]

What is the timeline? Pre or post Thunderdome? Give me some of that Tina Turner!

Um....neither? It's a stand alone story in it's own universe but it's clearly using designs from both The Road Warrior and Fury Road. What's more the Wasteland isn't Australia....

Jeez, yet another CG trailer.

I'm liking the screens though, but it being cross generational is clearly holding it back. Guess it started as a PS360 game and was then ported over.

It did. Avalanche have been working on the game for nearly 4 years now and Cory Barlog was involved with the project at one time.

 

[Ramenman]

IGN preview has some nice bits of info. But still no gameplay vid :/
