Recently, George Miller, the renowned director behind the Mad Max series and “Fury Road,” shared his disappointment regarding the 2015 Mad Max video game adaptation. He expressed his desire for a visionary like Hideo Kojima to helm such projects with full dedication and creativity.
Christofer Sundberg, the former head of Avalanche Studios, responded to Miller’s remarks, shedding light on the challenging collaboration between Miller’s team and the studio. Initially planned as a linear game, the project shifted to an open-world concept after a year of development, causing a clash in design approaches that resulted in a unique gameplay experience.
Sundberg criticized the decision-making process, stating that the film team pushed for a linear adventure despite partnering with a studio known for open-world expertise. The release date clash with Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid 5 impacted Mad Max sales and led to the cancellation of promising DLC content.
Despite the setbacks, Sundberg acknowledged the potential of a Kojima-led Mad Max game, emphasizing the director’s ability to create an extraordinary gaming experience. Kojima Productions is currently engaged in various projects, hinting at exciting developments in the gaming industry.
