Before watching the trailer: A Mad Max game? Oh, man. That's going to be terrible.
After: I am so buying this.

Holy gak that is an awesome username. Please tell me your army is called Kabal of the Fragile Breath. Morathi's Darkest Sin has some competition here for best handle, I think.

I'm looking forward to this game. I remember watching the Mad Max movies as a kid, and being blown away. I've loved Fallout since I discovered it. Fallout: New Vegas is my favourite game of all time, beating out Bioshock. I think I just like playing in Dystopian worlds.
I'm excited about it. Game play looks like the Batman games... with weapons. And occasionally guns. And running people over with a car. Looks like fun to me, so long as it isn't botched.

Smith Jamison: We aren't here, which means when we open up on you and shred your bodies with automatic fire then this will never have happened.
About the Clans: "Those brief outbursts of sense can't hold back the wave of sibko bred, over hormoned sociopaths that they crank out though."
So they finally replaced all the American accents with Australian ones? ...Ok now I can actually be interested in this game.
Certainly this is obviously a step up from the world of the films. I don't recall the settlements in those being quite as extravagant, but put that down to their budgets. I'm not sure about having that guy mounting the gun on the back of Max's vehicle. Max was always this lone figure, having some random guy toting about with him seems a bit odd. Hopefully he'll be more than just an addon for your vehicle, but I doubt it. Overall, now that the accents have changed (seriously why were they using American ones in the earlier trailers) I'll probably give a go. ...Once it hits the Steam salves obviously.
I was about to say, this game looks like its promising quite a bit, but if the devs made Just Cause then its certainly plausible the end product will be as good as the trailer.
Colour me interested anyways.

One reason games like FO3 feel big is because, barring fast travel, you have to walk everywhere. I wonder how Avalanche will maintain the illusion of scale in the face of the player having a very fast car. My number one concern about this game right now is what should be a sandbox (pun intended) will end up heavily scripted.
I'm playing it safe and will probably wait till I can buy it used. Video games based on movies have a poor track record, but I'll hold off judgement till I see it.
Ask yourself: have you rated a gallery image today?
George Miller had a heavy hand in this one, along with the tie-in comic books and all the other tie-in materials, I am somewhat looking forward to this one.
I had some hopes for this game... It certainly looks interesting, but I'll probably (maybe) wait till a couple reviews or so come out
Automatically Appended Next Post: Actually... after a bit more rumination... I'm getting a bit of "Arkham Knight" vibes... you have to upgrade both car, and gear. The only "real" difference here seems to be the multi-faction alliance system, a la the Fallout/TES games

I have it preordered and am picking it up first thing tomorrow.
It is the 3rd Millennium. For more than a hundred months Games Workshop has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Nottingham. It is the foremost of wargames by the will of the neckbeards, and master of a million tabletops by the might of their inexhaustible wallets. It is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with business strategies from the early Industrial Revolution Age. It is the Carrion Lord of the wargaming scene for whom a thousand veteran players are sacrificed every day, so that it may never truly die. Yet even in its deathless state, GW continues its eternal vigilance. Mighty battleforce starter-sets cross the online-store-infested miasma of the internet, the only route between distant countries, their way lit by a draconian retail trade-agreement, the legal manifestation of the GW's will. Vast armies of lawyers give battle in GW's name on uncounted websites. Greatest amongst its soldiers are the Guardians of the IP, the Legal Team, bio-engineered super-donkey-caves. Their comrades in arms are legion: the writing team and countless untested rulebooks, the ever vigilant redshirts, and the writers of White Dwarf, to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from other games, their own incompetence, Based Chinaman - and worse. To support Games Workshop in such times is to spend untold billions. It is to support the cruelest and most dickish company imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of sales discounts and Warhammer Fantasy Battle, for so much has been dropped, never to be re-published again. Forget the promise of cheaper digital content and caring about the fanbase, for in the GW HQ there is only profit-seeking, Space Marines and Sigmarines. There is no fun amongst the hobby shops, only an eternity of raging and spending, and the laughter of former employees who left GW to join better companies.
Been playing it for the last hour or so. Car combat is awkward, but that may just be the fact that I'm new at it or my vehicle is a bare bones hoopty. Both most likely. Harpooning a dude out of his car is a good time.Hand to hand plays out like a slower, more realistic, more brutsl version of Arkham combat and I love it.Chumbucket, your loveable, handsome sidekick is a 40K Techprisst in the body of that mutant dude in 300. He's great. On my way to a friendly (possibly?) stronghold to have Chum build me a sniper rifle.
I forgot all about this game and was pleasantly suprised to see it released, conicidentally right at the start of my Staycation. If it keeps me hooked, I'll be putting quite a few good hours into it this week.
And its a gorgeous game, despite being set in a bleak, barren desert.

Good to hear... I'll be trading in a couple games to lessen the cost of this, but will be getting it once stores open (wife is kinda pissed, because she claims she was gonna buy it for Xmas... even though I've repeatedly told here there's a bunch of games coming out between now and then )
