History VideoGame / MadMax2015

!!!The game provides examples off:

* MachineWorship: In a way with Chumbucket, who worships the "Angel Cumbustion" and believes his goal in life is to make the greatest car ever, with Max being the Saint sent to help him in his work.

* SpikesofVillainy: A vehicular version. The Buzzards faction drive cars just '''covered''' in rusty spikes.

* SpikesOfVillany: A vehicular version. The Buzzards faction drive cars just '''covered''' in rusty spikes.

* RPGElements: In addition to a fully customizable car, Max can unlock upgrades via a combination of completing story missions, side quests, and accumulating Wasteland Legend reputation. You can even gain upgrade tokens which you can "trade in" to a certain [=NPC=] in order to upgrade Max's abilities.

'''Mad Max''' is a post-apocalyptic action-adventure game with vehicular combat elements, set in an open world environment and based on the ''Film/MadMax'' film series. It was developed by Creator/AvalancheStudios and published by Creator/WarnerBrosInteractiveEntertainment and was released for PC, XboxOne, and PlayStation4 on September 1, 2015.

* AlternateContinuity: Because of [[RunningGag the fate of the Interceptor]] in this game, it neither fits in with ''The Road Warrior'' nor ''Fury Road'', though Gastown is a location here as a nod to ''Fury Road''. That said, apparently Scabrous Scrotus is a son of Immortan Joe, so who knows? Given WordOfGod has said ''Mad Max'' is more a mythology than a single, coherent narrative, it conveniently fits the tone. All that said, [[spoiler: apparently Scrotus kept the Interceptor because it was just that much of a CoolCar]], the voices in Max's head at the end are reminiscent of the ones he got in Fury Road. On top of that, Scrotus himself is nowhere to be seen during the movie, so chronologically it ''might'' take place before Fury Road?

* FreakOut: [[spoiler: Max near the end, in which he starts hearing voices, possibly leading to his PTSD status in ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad''.]]

* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Scabrous Scrotus. He begins as a normal warlord, but something happens to him that turns him into a bloodthirsty monster that only can find solace from his own pain through the suffering of others. [[spoiler: Turns out to be Max inflicting severe brain damage on him with a chainsaw in the opening of the story]]

* InNameOnly: Ultimately averted. Avalanche initially dropped the Australian accents and the setting, admitting to treating it as an entirely new story instead of a Mad Max game, resulting in something that appeared as nothing more than a generic post-apocalyptic game rather than anything resembling the Mad Max series. Although a combination of a petition to have Mad Max voiced by an Australian (eventually revealed to be actor/martial artist [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bren_Foster Bren Foster]]), George Miller himself intervening it set down some ground rules for creating the Wasteland, and even having his production company create all the characters, did a great deal to alleviate the concerns of the fans.

* {{Badass}}: Max. Aftet being beaten by some bandits who stripped him and beat him, he jump on the top of his car that is beign dragged by the BigBad Land Mover, climb a chain to the top of it, easily defeat the dog and manage to ra a chainswar in the BigBad's skull. and that's only in the introducing cutscene.
* BadassBeard: Max sports one in the game.
* BlackAndGreyMorality: Max certanily isn't the "Angel" Chumbucket believes he is, but it's easy to root for him against the AxCrazy Scabrous Scrotus.

* FreakOut: [[spoiler: Max near the end, in which he starts hearing voices. (possibly leading to his AmbiguousDisorder status in Film/MadMaxFuryRoad.)]]

* MadeOfIron: Scabrous Scrotus takes a chainsaw to the head at the hands of Max at the beginning of the game, and survives.

* RPGElements: In addition to a fully customizable car, it looks like armour, skills and the shotgun will be upgradeable, with some screenshots showing a shotgun [[MoreDakka with four barrels]].

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Max can perform moves such as suplexes, powerbombs and even armbars in melee combat.
