According to a report on Eurogamer, Avalanche Studios – the team behind Just Cause 2 – is working on the game, which should be an adaptation (or at least companion) to the pair of movies Australian director George Miller is currently toiling away on.
That works. Just Cause 2 was a blast so long as the sandbox gameplay held your attention, so something similar, only in the desert with Tina Turner, would be great.

imo Mad Max gets better with age, because it says “this is what post-armageddon would’ve looked like if it happened in the early 80′s”
Also, anyone else ever noticed how much the Interceptor looks like a VK Commodore from the front.

Friday, September 24, 2010 at 9:04 PMTo me the thing is, as you said, that the most important part is the Australian accents. They should ALL be aussie. Not a few of them, but the clear majority. Maybe one or two would have an accent to make them stand out but other than that, Australian all the way… but I have this annoying feeling…

The Saints Row games have the worst car handling ever. I love the Mad Max movies, especially the ford cop cars with the customized falcon body kits they have.
