Fortnite Season 3 has brought a wave of excitement to the gaming community with its Battle Pass, Map Changes, and New Weapons. As players gear up for the upcoming 2024 game releases, a recent exchange between Mad Max director George Miller and former Avalanche boss Christofer Sundberg has sparked discussions.
In a recent interview with Gaming Bible, George Miller expressed his desire for Metal Gear designer Hideo Kojima to create a Mad Max game. Despite his admiration for Kojima’s work, Miller acknowledged that the 2015 Mad Max game developed by Avalanche did not meet his expectations. He emphasized the importance of delivering a high-quality experience, stating, ‘I’d rather not do something unless you can do it at the highest level.’
The 2015 Mad Max game, released alongside Miller’s film ‘Mad Max: Fury Road,’ received mixed reviews. GameSpot’s review rated it 6/10, citing a lack of depth in mission design. Former Avalanche boss Christofer Sundberg responded to Miller’s criticism, attributing the game’s underperformance to its release timing, which coincided with Metal Gear Solid V.
Sundberg revealed the challenges faced by Avalanche, including pressure to alter the game’s structure to meet player expectations for autonomy in open-world experiences. Despite the setbacks, Sundberg expressed confidence in Kojima’s potential to create a unique Mad Max game, highlighting the distinctiveness of Kojima’s game design.
The exchange between Miller and Sundberg has reignited interest in the Mad Max franchise and the possibilities of a future collaboration with Hideo Kojima. As the gaming industry continues to evolve, fans eagerly anticipate the potential for a new Mad Max gaming experience that captures the essence of the iconic post-apocalyptic world.
