The History of Mad Max Video Games

The next video will be about unused ideas that carried over from one Mad Max movie to the next. Keep your eyes peeled!

Well, personally I actually like Mad Max video game. I really don't mind the alternate or non canon story.

"It turns out miller was also a big fan of fallout" just another reason to love george miller

Miller: Finally going to make the game i want to make! EA: Here's 20 mill Miller: Ok, have it.

I personally think the mad max game was awesome and would hope for a more fleshed out sequel.

It's still a brilliant game. The setting, locations, in-game history (with the drug-dealing weirdo upgrade guy, the dog, the hunchback among others) and the entire world is original, brush and only Mad Max. Among one of my few favourite games.

it's still a very underrated game though

To be fair, I would imagine if George was left to his own devices the game just would've been postponed and cancelled again

It is a shame that this game never had any expanded story added to it like a DLC as it is a solid and amazing game. I did not realise that this game used ideas for future Mad Max films but that does explain a lot of the lore in the game. For a start I always assumed it was a prequal to Fury Road rather than what you have perceived it as.

The fact that the villain's name is 'Scrotus' is enough to make me love the Mad Max video game. That it was a great game in general just made it even better. Sure, Miller wasn't behind the wheel, but the feel and flavor of his world is entirely there.

"Unfortunately, a new challenger entered the arena" I swear right as you said this I thought, "EA fucked it up" And then a second later I was rewarded with the knowledge of being right.

If anything, the game is a prequel to Fury Road. After Hopy and Glory dies, Max is having hallucinations, just like at the beginning of the movie with the escape scene. That dead girl in the movie? I bet that's Glory

This game actually convinced me to watch the mad max films. It's a damn good experience whether you are a veteran of the series of a complete newcomer. Just don't play it TOO much, It can get a little repetitive sometimes.

Great video, I learned a lot. One fact I was surprised you missed though: the 1990 NES Mad Max game is largely a reskin / port of the 1988 game called "Motor Massacre" in the EU and "Road Raider" in North America, which was available for the Amiga, C64, Spectrum, Atari ST, etc. This explains why the NES game had so little to do with the license: the game was already designed and only adjusted a little, similar to The Last Starfighter / Uridium situation.

With the release of the 2015 Mad Max game I thought it was mind blowing. Playing it a lot, and the little details, the characters, the size of the map area to explore, the fact that there were so many locations, and unground spots that you didn’t even think would be there, the cars, the convoys, the entire plot, the sandstorms, the new car you can make your own until you get the Interceptor back. Just so much put into that game even without George Miller’s brilliant mind behind the wheel of it somewhere, I don’t think anyone was really disappointed by it like the original “Mad Max” game if you dare consider it that. I never knew one existed until seeing this video and honestly the clips featured didn’t make the first game look too fun. But anyway, the game just mind blowing, so much to do it takes you forever to complete it!

I really love the game though... Lol

Interestingly, this video actually made me more interested in the last game. I like the idea that it was cobbled together from real Fury Road pre-production concepts. That makes it far more authentic than I thought it was. I would've preferred a Miller-directed direct tie-in, but a homage pastiche is better than nothing.

So the game has spoilers for planned sequels? Huh. Gas Town is central to the game, and mentioned in Fury Road. I wonder if that will also be a central location in future movies.

Still had a ton of fun playing it tho

we really need another game, but i dont know how the story would go
