Soapbox Why Mad Max Is a Hugely Overlooked Game
Sam Brooke on a world gone mad
Mad Max didn't really make any Game of the Year lists, yet I feel that it's been hugely overlooked, and that it has plenty to offer. The game, on paper, should've just been another boring Ubisoft open-worlder: camps to infiltrate, viewpoints to climb up to and survey, skill trees, upgrades, and all the usual stuff...

News Here's Mad Max's Huge Open World Map From End to End
That's a lot of dust
Mad Max has had the misfortune of releasing on the same day as one of the most highly anticipated titles of 2015, and although we doubt that it'll be able to outperform Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain when it comes to sales, it still looks like a decent enough open world romp all the same. And, as with any game that's got...

Round Up Mad Max PS4 Reviews Hit the Highway
Wasteland or waste of space?
Mad Max has been in development so long that God of War II director Cory Barlog joined developer Avalanche Studios after the completion of the aforementioned PlayStation 2 sequel to work on it. He's since held various other roles in the industry, and not too long ago returned to Sony Santa Monica to work on some kind of...
News Rev Your Engines for Mad Max's Exclusive PS4 Content
Actually, don't bother
Mad Max – a game which has the dubious honor of launching at exactly the same time as a new title in the Metal Gear Solid franchise – hits store shelves very soon, so Sony has released a brand new trailer showing off the exclusive content its super machine will be receiving. To be honest, it's pretty underwhelming: you'll...
News Mad Max's New PS4 Trailer Lets You Decide How to Create Carnage
All choices involve explosions
How you gonna play this one then, Max? Not sure why we're asking this since you're just going to blow everything up anyway, but hey, at least you can choose how to get the job done from a whole range of psychopathic methods. Indeed, Mad Max's newest trailer is all about player choice, as you decide how he handles a...
News 80 Minutes of Mad Max PS4 Gameplay Kicks Up a Sandstorm
Finally see the sandbox game in action
For a game that's coming out in just over two weeks, it's, er, mad that we haven't seen more of Mad Max. We've had a few trailers here and there, but we've always been expecting more of the open world post-apocalyptic carnage simulator. Fortunately, Avalanche Studios hosted a lengthy livestream of the release...
Gamescom 2015 Mad Max Gets Philosophical in Fresh PS4 Trailer
Wasteland wanderer
Mad Max is about more than flying fists and exploding vehicles – who knew? To be fair, while this trailer does attempt to add a bit of fictional interest to proceedings, it's the punch-ups and colliding cars that will keep you watching. The clip's supposed to offer a brief glimpse at the various outposts that the protagonist...

E3 2015 Mad Max Trailer Guarantees More Insanity with Its Main Antagonist
What a lovely day
Mad Max has already impressed us with its massive open world where you can ride around in a customized car wreaking havoc in utterly crazy vehicular battles. But that's not all, since there's melee-focused combat, RPG elements in regard to upgrading equipment and armor, and all sorts of things you can do in the depraved wasteland...

News Mad Max's New PS4 Story Trailer Is Less About Plot and More About Explosions
Ain't no time to explain
Sometimes you just want to bask in the glory of completely over-the-top action - we understand that. But if that's the case, then don't bother slapping the word 'story' on your game's newest trailer. As you've probably guessed, Mad Max's fresh video is less about narrative exposition and more about blowing things up...

We've finally been given a better look at Mad Max, the upcoming post-apocalyptic PlayStation 4 adventure, courtesy of several new screenshots.

Hope you like eating rats
Mad Max recently had the misfortune of clashing its big re-reveal with Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's leaked release date, but that hasn't stopped a heck of a lot more details regarding the post-apocalyptic adventure from surfacing. In the newest issue of Game Informer, the publication reveals plenty about the...
News Mad Max Hits the Road on PS4 from 1st September
Road warrior
How to derail a carefully curated public relations push: set the embargo around the same time as Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's release date leaks. Warner Bros couldn't have predicted this afternoon's circumstances, of course, but we suspect that a few folks at Swedish developer Avalanche Studios will be kicking themselves right...

News Avalanche Pulls the Trigger on Mad Max Footage
Soul of a man
Swedish outfit Avalanche Studios has put its foot down on the first in-engine footage of Mad Max. The title – which is set to shoot up the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 – will depict the eponymous hero’s plight, as he attempts to recover his lost vehicle, the Interceptor, from a barren desert wasteland.
