If he had his direction , another unrestrained Max game would happen , but one with Hideo Kojima at the helm . The Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding creator has openly been a fan of Fury Road since it came out , and Miller call him the perfect guy wire to take on that endeavor . “ I ’ve just been speaking to him , ” the theater director tot . “ [ But ] he ’s bewilder so much fantastic hooey in his own header that I would never ask him . ” ( Kojima , for what it ’s deserving , see Furiosa at Cannes and telephone it a “ chef-d’oeuvre . ” )
Avalanche ’s Mad Max game launched months after the release of Fury Road , and is in fact set in between that and Beyond Thunderdome . The game beget substantial critique when it launch , but the big matter that did it in was releasing on September 1 , 2015 … aka , the same mean solar day as Metal Gear Solid quint : The Phantom Pain . When two clean great games go up against one another on the same day , there ’s typically a failure , and in this case , it was ol’ Max Rockatansky .
Here ’s where things get a little cloudy , though : place insane Max out on that date was apparently out of Avalanche ’s hands . Christofer Sundberg , who co - base the studio in 2003 , revealed on X that Warner Bros. would n’t shift when he suggest the game shift from its September 1 release . As a solution , “ they fault us for the defective sales and cancelled a bunch of amazing DLC that was just sit around there hold back to be released . ” To this Clarence Shepard Day Jr. , he admits that he does n’t know why WB was so adamant about it .
In the years since its exit , Mad Max has been looked back on fondly and reach a scrap of fad classic position . To day of the month , it ’s playable on both personal computer and consoles via back compatibility . peradventure with the dealership being the hot subject of the weekend , the secret plan will see a little more love life over the next few days .
Furiosa is in now in theaters .
