Mad Max begins and ends the exact same way: with the eponymous hero behind the wheel of a car, alone, speeding toward some elusive destination. It’s the essence of the character, a man who tells himself he neither needs nor wants the responsibility of looking after other souls. It’s jarring, then, when he spends the 40 hours between those two scenes intertwined in the lives of every single survivor of the apocalypse. It’s fun to see all the obvious references, like Max replenishing his health by eating Dinki-Di dogfood, a nod to Road Warrior’s food of choice. But there are more subtle examples, as well. A notable landmark is a giant statue wearing the same robes and holding the same stance as the briefly seen Dr. Dealgood from Beyond Thunderdome. One warlord dwells in a canopied structure ...
Action packed is probably not the most appropriate word to describe this trailer. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more action packed trailer than this ever in my life. There is almost no breathing space in this trailer, its just constantly one action scene after another. The film is scheduled for release on May 15, 2015 Mad Max isn’t the only game that has turned into a feature on the big screen. We heard that the Assassin’s Creed movie has entered its production stage.
From director George Miller, originator of the post-apocalyptic genre and mastermind behind the legendary “Mad Max” franchise, comes “Mad Max: Fury Road,” a return to the world of the Road Warrior, Max Rockatansky. Haunted by his turbulent past, Mad Max believes the best way to survive is to wander alone. Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by an elite Imperator, Furiosa. They are escaping a Citadel tyrannized by the Immortan Joe, from whom something irreplaceable has been taken. Enraged, the Warlord marshals all his gangs and pursues the rebels ruthlessly in the high-octane Road War that follows. We’re just happy Tom Hardy is taking up the role, period.

Just Cause developer Avalanche Studios went to the Costa Rica rainforest during spring 2013 to get reference material for future games, the studio details in a new video. “The rich and uniquely diverse environment offered us a closer look at dense vegetation, beautiful skies, and flowing water, among other things,” said the studio. All this footage they went over there to capture isn’t just for Just Cause 2, although a lot of it is used in the video. Avalanche however said that the reference material collected during the trip–including jungle sounds and various images–will be used in “many” of the studio’s upcoming open-world games. For example, some of the sky scenes captured in Costa Rica will be shown in the Mad Max game for Xbox One and P...
