Mad Max franchise director George Miller has said he would only be interested in adding another video game to the franchise if it could be made to "the highest level" by someone like Hideo Kojima.

Speaking to GAMINGbible on the red carpet for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Miller named Kojima the ideal candidate to take on a video game adaptation of the film series but admitted that he would "never ask" the legendary games designer to take on such a project because he has "so much fantastic stuff in his own head".

Miller also referenced the Mad Max video game that came out in 2015, saying he thinks they could level up on it if they were to make another. "It wasn't as good as I wanted it to be," Miller candidly admitted before adding, "I'm one of those people that I'd rather not do something unless you can do it at the highest level."

There's already a very good Max Max video game, no need to Kojima-fy it. We don't want Max to talk about nanomachines.

Didn't we already have this with the excellent 2015's Mad Max?

Not sure why he needs to slurp Kojima's balls and rag on an actual great Mad Max game in the same breath.

He says and I quote "we had a videogame made when the first movie came out and it wasn't as good as I wanted it to be".

I like the movies Miller makes, but he's dead wrong about the game here.

I’m sorry but that’s bullshit, it was awesome.

Wait, it's 60 fps on XSX via BC? Have it on PS4 and it's 30 fps only. I guess I'll have to pick a copy for Xbox too.

Edit: Damn, it's 120 fps on the Series X.

What company owns the rights of Mad Max? I bet that by being a Miller's bitch, Kojima is ready to do it.

Funny too that MGSV and Mad Max both released within a day or so of each other in 2015

It's often on sale for under $5 (not right now).

 

[Hudo]

I'd actually kinda like to see Kojima's take on a Mad Max game.
I'd also like to see his take on a Dune game.

 

[Woggleman]

It would make a great game but I don't know if Kojima would be the best choice. I know many would disagree with me but a joint collaboration between Rockstar and Naughty Dog would work. GTA like driving and car combat and TLOU2 ultra violence would work perfect for this.

 

[Fart Knight]

Shut up old man. MM is one of the best licensed games out there. I loved it.

 

[ClanOfNone]

2015 game was badass, and one of the better open world games of the last decade. I’d much rather have a follow up to that than one of Kojima’s bloated movies.

It came out in the same year as MGSV. Now which game aged better

Thanks, I will add it to my wishlist and buy it once it goes on sale next.

[Punished Miku]

I think he wanted more campiness. When you see the trailers for the new movie, and look at the Death Stranding 2 guitar sliding villain, I can kinda see it. But yeah, surprised he trashes Avalanche like that.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Thread needs more 2015 gifs

In fact I hope this thread sparks some interest or re interest with some here

It's a phenomenal take on the world, the lore and the characters. Just one of the truly more unique open worlders out there.

Also I believe Scrotus is in Furiosa

He's not. Mad Max PS4 is a good video game, but it is not an High A-tier nor S-tier artistic experience. That is what Miller is asking for. He also said 'It doesn't have to be Kojima... but if there was someone like that who would take it on then that would be grand'

Mad Max PS4 at it's best is an 8/10 experience. Once again, that means it's a good video game, just not what he's asking for.

 

[Inuteu]

We don't want Max to become a gay android with chromed silver ass

 

[Space Runaway]

Sure, why not. Kojima isn't doing anything better and I'd like a modern Mad Max game that's more than a derivative Ubi-style clear all the icons open world game.

 

[NuclearDiarrhea]

If Kojima did a Mad Max game, he would have giant mech's made from vehicle parts as enemies or some shit.

[Katatonic]

Man that 2015 game used to get dragged when it came out. I bought it full price at launch over and loved it.

 

[Represent.]

He's only saying that because Kojima is the only video game director he can name.

There are much better options out there for a Mad Max game.

 

[elmos-acc]

I'll believe Miller when he says "it wasn't as good as we wanted it to be" about the 2015 he talks from his own point of view as the co-creator of the franchise. I haven't played it, but it didn't make the impact that Fury Road did or didn't contribute anything interesting to the franchise. I doubt that Miller has any deeper takes about the Ubisoft-like design or the car combat mechanics etc.

I could be wrong though, maybe he's actually a GAF poster.

 

[Arachnid]

Kojima is too good for the Mad Max franchise. Give it to Naughty Dog or Insomniac or something

 

[ARK1391]

Kojima loves Miller so much I have no doubt he would do this and I'm here for it. The Mad Max game we got a few years ago was awesome and I loved every second of it. No doubt Kojima could make an even better version of that with an intense world of characters.

 

[Raven117]

Lol. I’m sure it will be a very straight forward easy to follow story

 

[Deft Beck]

Let Kojima do what he wants and not waste his time on an adaptation.

 

[newtypepilot]

kojima doesn't make games anymore. He prefers making needlessly incoherent stories with hollywood actors

 

[Xtib81]

I really enjoyed the 2015 game. I'd be down for another one honestly.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

The 2015 game is one of my favorites but if you haven't loaded it up in quite a while you should prepare yourself for what looks like 120fps of vaseline smeared on your screen. The resolution is absolutely atrocious.

 

[Braag]

I think the 2015 Mad Max game was fine. It wasn't anything ground breaking but it was fine, definitely not bad.

 

[SJRB]

Shut the fuck up, Georgie. Mad Max was a great game, and Kojima is a TERRIBLE fit for a Mad Max game. You're just saying that to stroke Kojimbo's ego and because he's literally the only videogame creator you know.

Stick to making movies.

 

[SirKicksalot]

He's only saying that because Kojima is the only video game director he can name.

Miller worked with Cory Barlog on an incarnation of that game. He's been developing Mad Max videogame concepts since the 90s.

Kennedy Miller Mitchell had a videogame studio which absorbed most of Team Bondi. Remember Whore of The Orient, from the LA Noire dude? It was in development there.
When Happy Feet 2 flopped, the studio was closed and Warner rebooted the game with Avalanche. Warner gave them access to all production material. The game uses concepts from all three modern Mad Max scripts - Fury Road, Furiosa and The Wasteland, but you'll notice that Miller is not credited anywhere.
The "build the car while helping outposts" concept was originally intended for a TV show, then for The Wasteland.

LMAO

Hideo Kojima would be a terrible choice for a Mad Max game. He's the video game equivalent of Lars von Trier. A man who would pull out to cum on himself.

Mad Max is balls deep action and that's what makes it a great series. It doesn't need some pretentious commentary on war or death.

Hideaki Itsuno would be a much better fit.
