a mad max games Franchise director George Miller suggested the game would be best handled by someone like Hideo Kojima. The Australian director was asked about the game at a promotional event for “Furiosa: The Mad Max Saga,” which Kojima also attended. Miller and Kojima apparently began their conversation during the event.
Mad Max's director wasn't a fan of the 2015 game
In a clip of the interview shared by GamingBible, Miller can be heard praising Kojima while also saying that 2015's “Mad Max” wasn't that good. The video game was developed by Avalanche Studios of “Just Cause” fame and received mixed reviews.
“If he [Kojima] “He's got so many great ideas in his head that I would never ask him to do it,” Miller said, “but if someone like that were to take it on, I wouldn't be able to.”
Miller's comments drew the ire of Avalanche Studios founder Christopher Sandberg, who left Avalanche in 2019. Sandberg claimed that at X, Avalanche was pushed to make a linear game, despite the studio's strength being open-world games. “After the first year of development, they realized that they had pushed us to make a linear experience, rather than the open-world game that we were pitching them,” Sandberg said.
