The best Mad Max Game would be a trucking simulator (hexbear.net)

I've said this before but I think if anyone was trying to make a game in the Mad Max universe, it shouldn't be a narrative driven game where you play as Max or Furiosa etc.

You should be the random war rig driver for a local petty warlord. Focusing on how to transport your delivery quickly, without damaging the rig badly or using too much guzzoline.

The best parts of 3-4 out of 5 movies involve a rig being chased and attacking convoys was fun in the very okay video game.

As the game progressed you'd unlock better appearance options, armor, weapons and even nick names. The same for your war crew. You'd upgrade experienced members into being black thumbs/fingers, organic mechanics, maybe even a history man for morale/reputation.

The rig would get upgraded with better engines, weapons, defenses etc. You'd unlock or capture escort vehicles which you could drive as well.

You could even start the game stylistically in between films 1-2, with initially just biker gangs as the attackers, but eventually you'd driving through canyons blasting berserker cannibals parachuting down on you etc.

Solid idea! I'd like it to see Mad Max get out of the Fury Road setting since it's been a kinda different type of world each film. The concept still works fine but I'd like to get away from war boys, Furiosa, the citadel etc. I'd like a new mad max setting made for the game. Maybe you play one of several industrious factions that have begun doing primitive trade with settlements and the game is sort of a competition between your gang and rival gangs to kinda go beyond raider into running a trade monopoly. Sort of a Mad Max Silk Road kinda thing (the historical trade route, not the drug website)
