Well done Warners, you haven't put any Muse in this one like you did all the Batman stuff. I did have some money on Mad Max being a bit of sleeper hit until they decided to release it the same day as Metal Gear Solid 5. I like Avalanche and I think there's some great potential in putting a post apocalyptic spin on the studios Just Cause-style action. But going against MGS5? Dead man walking.
Here's the trailer with a bit of spiel from Warners to explain why Max is angry and everything explodes.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Avalanche Studios today released the Mad Max ™ Stronghold Trailer, giving a glimpse into the various fortified outposts, or strongholds, located throughout the open world of the post-apocalyptic Wasteland. In the new trailer, Max visits some of the game’s diverse strongholds and encounters a number of intriguing characters, including Jeet, Gutgash, Pink Eye and Deep Friah. In a world where Max faces both his internal and external enemies, these strongholds hold the pieces essential to the puzzle he tries to solve. Max will need to make some uneasy alliances as he prepares to take on merciless Wasteland tyrant, Scrotus.
Stellar Blade director "grew up too poor to afford" a PS1, but when he finally got one in college, Ridge Racer and Final Fantasy inspired him to make games
Oh, that's why the Stellar Blade devs were terrified by demo players: one fan's spent "about 60 hours" maxing Eve's skill tree before the action RPG is even out
