Rough Plot Of Mad Max Game Laid Out In Video

"A man with no wheels is a man with no hope."

Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for the Mad Max game currently in development by Just Cause developer, Avalanche Studios. Titled, "Savage Road," the trailer sets the stage for Max's adventure as he's torn from his precious Interceptor, and must build a new war machine. And, because this is Mad Max, the guy who takes Max's car is named "Scrotus."

What's not to love about that?

Along with the obligatory desert wasteland environment, glimpses of Gas Town can be seen between flashes of vehicular manslaughter. It appears that some kind of death race event is bound to be a part of the story there. Meanwhile, Max does a little fighting on foot, a little more fighting atop moving vehicles, and even presses a little face, all while sporting the glorious Australian accent [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/125608-Mad-Max-Is-Australian-Again] that fans of the series fought so hard to retain.

Mad Max is scheduled to release on September 1 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

Glad they relented and kept Max as an Australian. Now why the hell is he the only bloody Australian left in Australia? Did every other Aussie enter a house-swapping program with a bunch of Americans just before the apocalypse? If it's too late to fix it before launch, just re-record all the dialogue and offer it as a free patch.

What do you think caused the apocalypse? The gender-queer future Clinton-Obama democrat candidate was elected president and all the Republicans did what they threatened to do... move to Australia.

Mad Max is the result.

He's mad... because of all the Americans in Australia now.

Call me crazy but if this is a Mad Max wasteland sandbox, should we not be able to choose and customise ANY vehicle, not just a car? I mean, look at Mad Max 2- in that movie, people tried to make their living in anything from motorbikes through dune buggies and cars right up to semi trucks and gyrocopters.

I know the Max of the movies was always a Sedan man, but for it to be a true sandbox experience, I should be able to wander the wasteland in anything I choose, even if that has me knocking people's heads off with the wheels of a cropduster...

A note to any would-be trailer editors who read this:

You don't need to make the screen blink every half second.

Just sayin'.

For those who don't know, Scrotus is Immortan Joe's third son. The most sane insane one. Can someone explain to me though what's with the things that go up into their noses? All the sons have it.

Anyways, it's a refreshing trailer. It's been a long time since the first reveal of a game actually had gameplay in it. I'm not so sure if I can get the game though, it looks to be as gory and disgusting as the movie. My parents would kill me if I played it around my sisters.

So basically its a 3rd person game and Mad Max just sorta...happens.
Like the Arkham games. Its all pretty self evident. The Joker tries to release a toxic gas and Max has to race biker gangs and shoots people.

I believe it was a trait that all of Immortan Joe's sons were in some way disabled or disfigured. Scrotus appears to have underdeveloped or failed lungs and carries around his own supply of Oxygen, which is, like in a hospital, fed into him via the nose. Possibly why the breeders were so valuable, as Joe was likely desiring a healthy son as Heir.

As a tie-in game, this is looking extremely promising. The only real fear I have now is the possibility for linearity. I'd like to see something somewhat more substantial (and serious) than, say, Rage.

This article http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/03/25/meet-the-weirdos-of-mad-max-s-wasteland.aspx?PostPageIndex=3 says they breathe clean air which is a luxury in a wasteland full of filth.

It also says

He begins as a normal warlord, but something happens to him that turns him into a bloodthirsty monster that only can find solace from his own pain through the suffering of others

In the trailer there are shots of him where he looks normal, and then a couple where he seems to have what looks like a giant shard of metal stuck in the top of his head. Which I guess will get stuck in there over the course of the game.

"Pre-order now to get xxxx" is now in every frickin trailer.
