I did : ) He gets shot at the end of the first film, and has the brace and the car at the beginning of the second (presumably he jury rigged something shortly after killing the final guy in Mad Max). The car gets destroyed during the events of that second film. Notably there's no sign of 'Dog' anywhere so far in the…

Yeah, I know what you mean. It serves no purpose other than 'looking cool.' Now I'd buy it if say, some time after the bombs fell, there was a tsunami that washed ships ashore or something, but otherwise it makes no sense. Nothing I know of nuclear war would cause sea levels to recede. If anything sea levels might…

I think he'll bring something new to it, hopefully something good. I like hardy a lot and think he's a good choice. It'd be really ballsy of the game makers to get Mel to do the voice work, but I doubt that will happen. Despite his horrid behavior, I still kind of like (actor) Mel, mainly due to Get the Gringo.

Well for gamers and movie fans of a certain generation (namely mine) this is actually really exciting news for us. Mad Max is ripe for a video game adaptation; the setting is just perfect for it. However, to be fair, a lot of us were psyched for Colonial Marines too, and that didn't turn out so well.

The second one is amazing, in fact it's very different from the first. It's a huge influence on many contemporary film makers, and set the tone for the post apocalyptic action genre. Now the third film is a bit more toned done and kind of cheesy, but I actually really like it; however I admit to being in a minority…

Oh man, I really hope you're wrong there. I great mad max game would be so awesome, and the thought of it ending up like Marines is unbearable.

I'm quite looking forward to the new film, and Hardy's take on the role.

There was an original trilogy of films in the late 70's/early 80's. The first one was a society dealing with post peak oil, and the second two were set in the aftermath of world war 3. They are basically the genesis of the post apocalyptic action thriller. I for one am really excited, but of course it depends on how…

They'd be mad not to make that a central concept to game play.

Oh yeah, I actually got shivers when I heard the car revving in from the distance.

Based on his look and the car I'm wondering if this is set just prior to The Road Warrior?

Nice observation, I reckon you're spot on.

James McCaffrey was one of the main reasons I got so invested in the Max Payne series; he brought so much humanity, humor and world weariness to a character who's essentially a noir archetype, and could have been a boring cliche in the wrong hands.

Has anyone played this yet? I've heard mixed things, but the concept seems interesting, and the game play looked quite similar to Tomb Raider, which I loved.

I tend not to get involved in a MP game unless I have a good hour or two to dedicate to it, and I'm in a calm mood. Having said that, it has to be said I have rage quit from time to time, to my shame. This is almost always due to what seems like a lot of kills against me, usually within a minute of spawning. Often…

Sadly I think Disney is all too aware of how EA operate, and I do hope I'm wrong, but it seems with going for a movie every year and now giving exclusive dev rights to EA they are well and truly in this to get as much profit as possible. While it's entirely possibly EA will turn out some good looking and even fun…

I'd be very surprised if multiplayer heist missions aren't a big feature.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that there will be a few other smallish towns, but basically LS is the games big city.

I loved San Fierro too. Who knows? Maybe it'll be a DLC down the line, though that may be a bit too ambitious for DLC.

I imagine it'll feature a lot of the stuff from IV, but much improved and with some new twists and features. My favorite part of the multiplayer for IV was simply the free roam, which I anticipate will be epic in V.
