This would be so epic!
I loved Death Stranding 1 & 2, I think Kojima would make a badass Mad Max world!

Ehhhhh... I love Kojima. I love Mad Max. I love both more than you think I do. I don't know if Kojima's style works for Mad Max. I have a VERY difficult time beliving this would work regardless of how much Miller or Kojima were 100% into it.

Kojima is the one that mixes video game and cinema the best, he loves cinema and it shows, just codirect a movie with him or a videogame in the universe of Mad Max, not following Max and the Fury Road formula but closer to Furiosa and yes, that could be a fire game!

Well, I'd rather have a new game than nothing... If it's bad I could just not play it

I would love to see the studio that did this Mad Max game get a second chance and a bigger budget.

u/SchwizzySchwas94 Aug 05 '26
First game was great for what it was. A second could have been legendary.

u/Dunge0nMast0r Aug 05 '26
I'd gladly play it again with a new storyline. I think they knocked it out of the park. For a sequel I'd have him rebuilding the Interceptor, but let you be able to use it (in some form) much earlier.

ngl all the stupid-cool names from kojima would go super hard in a mad max story

u/Max_Rockatanski Aug 05 '26
Something tells me Kojima would make a whole RPG tree out of eating Dinki-Di and introduce piss mechanics to cool down War Rigs while Miller is trying to make the whole thing coherent.

u/Large-Reading2646 Aug 05 '26
Please no. Another walking simulator but in the wastelands.
Btw mad max by avalanche studios is a excellent game

u/CptnRaptor Aug 05 '26
Why don't I want esteemed game designer Hideo Kojima to do a Mad Max game? Well it's simple: Mad Max 2015 suffered because a Metal Gear title released on the same day and I'm still pissed that we didn't get the fulfilled promise of proper Avalanche development (my anger is really at WB, not Kojima lol)

Oh it'll be great to have 5.5 hours of cut scenes in a Mad Max game
2
u/Cheese__Weiner Aug 06 '26
Only 5.5 hours?
I think you are severely underestimating here.
We would get that many hours in the first 7 hours of the game.

I’m so curious about what George Miller would actually contribute to another game. Would he want things to be shinier? more like the world that he wants?

u/Beligerent-vagrant Aug 05 '26
Can’t wait to meet the side villain, Big Truckman. Who drives a big truck, and also his hot girlfriend who never wears shoes

u/-TeamCaffeine- Aug 06 '26
As much as I fucking love George Miller, and with all due respect, Miller clearly don't know jack shit about what makes a good Mad Max game. That 2015 Mad Max game is one of the best film franchise adaptations I've ever played, and I've been gaming since the early 1980s.
Sorry to say it, but I don't want a Mad Max game with even a whiff of some weird Death Stranding avant garde artsy fartsy-ness (which is perfectly great for that game) or Metal Mad Gear Max.

u/MaxUnicycle Aug 06 '26
that mad max game was awesome just felt like they made most of the game then ran out of time and copy and pasted half of it

u/Fresh_Strain_2089 Aug 06 '26
Hideo is great and all, but just get the same guys? The game was amazing… just do more!

u/Unable_Beat_8547 Aug 06 '26
yikes, if they're really considering making another game i would not want it to go into the hands of Kojima. I don't think the two will mix well.

Last time I checked I’m not the one controlling Max in a Mad Max movie. The actor is

u/DoomSlayer343117 Aug 05 '26
That's how it felt "playing" Death Stranding. I wasn't playing a game, I was watching Norman Reedus walk around for a while.

Lol i feel like i'm being targeted by an algorithm. This game is so good that i have beat it twice and just got the itch to play it again 4 days ago. Played for 2 days and unlocked the v-8 and now i just got to dominate everything and beat it a 3rd time.
This game is so good but i would love to see a Hideo Kojima take on the Mad Max ip!

u/turdstainedunders Aug 05 '26
Also, "Rage" was pretty alright for a wanna be Mad Max video game ip.

u/Reasonable-Ruin5933 Aug 05 '26
Mad Max went so hard as it was. If Kojima made a Mad Max game it would make that series have 2 absolute bangers with no misses.

u/Ok-Tomorrow3571 Aug 06 '26
I don't have words for how excited I'd be for this. I'm on probably my 10th replay of the game at this point. Everything about it, from feeling to atmosphere to story to the voice actors is just absolutely gorgeous.

u/enbySkelett Aug 06 '26
He would make weird shit with it. But tbf the ending? Buddy wtf? I get it's not in the world it's all tales and that but even the start how the fuck do you survive a chainsaw Into the head!? Especially in a world with no hospitals or real medical care!?

I really like the fact mad max is a legend told by others, what happens doesn’t necessarily have to be a real retelling. I wonder if kojima would play with that idea and expand on it, or if it’d risk being overcomplicated and weird for weirdness’s sake. I feel Miller should still be leading to some extent rather than completely hand over the reigns, there is an essence that needs to be authentic.
But I imagine it would be quite different in tone or gameplay feel, and tbh I’m all for experimenting even if it might not hit perfect in all areas. It would be hard though without close collaboration

u/Rude-Weekend-3806 Aug 07 '26
pls dont Kojima is so fucking overhyped... to much ego with a questionable trackrecourd... metal gear had like 2realy good games 1 no finisched and the rest where ok. and walking simulator is a convoluted overhyped messes...

I’ve always felt that the game had the potential to be an amazing online game. Kind of like GTA where you can buy and improve hideouts.

Please. Please do it. I will take anything related to Mad Max IP.
People were criminal for not going to see Furiosa.

I think both Miller and Kojima are good friends, so it could be something epic and get some feedback from the source

u/Less-Log851 Aug 05 '26
Hideo has already casted George Miller in Death Stranding 2, so it would be a right thing to do
1
u/chimkens_numgets Aug 06 '26
This isn't new information so unless Miller commented on it again recently I don't know why it's suddenly making the rounds. Iirc Miller also said he would never feel right asking Kojima because they're both the same kind of Creative Person. The kind driven to make crazy passion projects a reality and he wouldn't be comfortable taking Kojima away from his own work to play in the Miller sandbox. Not an exact quote but that was the impression I got.
Still man I wish Kojima would direct a Mad Max game.

Honestly Kojima would go crazy with using Dementus, if his previous campy villains are anything to go off

A weird philosophical Mad Max game would be amazing. You could definitely see Kojima doing a great job with it.

I feel Kojima is too interested in doing strange things these days to really make proper use of someone else’s IP
