The team over at the PlayStation Underground has this week been play testing the new Mad Max video game, that has now launched and is available on PS4, Xbox One and also available via Steam for PC together with all the Mad Max films.
Gamers that own the PS4 version of the Mad Max video game also have the choice to customise their vehicles with a choice of 12 exclusive hood ornaments.
Gameplay and Features
The Mad Max video game offers an immersive experience that captures the essence of the post-apocalyptic world depicted in the films. Players step into the shoes of Max Rockatansky, navigating through a vast open-world environment filled with danger and adventure. The game emphasizes vehicular combat, with players able to customize their vehicles extensively. The Magnum Opus, Max’s iconic car, can be upgraded with various parts and weapons, allowing for a personalized approach to combat and exploration.
In addition to vehicular combat, the game also features hand-to-hand combat mechanics, reminiscent of the Arkham series. Players can engage in brutal melee fights, using a combination of punches, kicks, and environmental takedowns to defeat enemies. The game also includes a crafting system, where players can scavenge for resources to create new weapons and tools.
Exclusive Content for PS4 Users
One of the standout features for PS4 users is the ability to customize their vehicles with 12 exclusive hood ornaments. These ornaments not only add a unique aesthetic to the vehicles but also provide various gameplay benefits. For example, some ornaments might increase the vehicle’s durability, while others could enhance its speed or handling. This exclusive content adds an extra layer of depth to the game, encouraging players to experiment with different combinations to find the setup that best suits their playstyle.
Watch the gameplay demo below to whet your appetite and see what you can expect from the new Mad Max game that is based on the recent Mad Max reboot movie and now available to purchase.
Welcome back to PlayStation Underground, our online show about video games! Today, we scream through the post-apocalyptic sands of the Wasteland in Mad Max on PS4. With grease, bullets, and a little gasoline, we’ll help Max take down an enemy camp and survive a torrential lightning storm.
Our trusted (and daring) guide Daniel McGuffey from WB gives us this white-knuckle tour through the open-world of Mad Max, and may also drive the Magnum Opus clear off a cliff. All in the name of quality entertainment, folks.
The game also features dynamic weather systems and a day-night cycle, which can significantly impact gameplay. For instance, sandstorms can reduce visibility and make navigation more challenging, while nighttime can provide cover for stealthy approaches to enemy camps. These environmental factors add an extra layer of strategy, requiring players to adapt their tactics based on the current conditions.
Another notable aspect of the game is its story, which is deeply intertwined with the lore of the Mad Max universe. Players will encounter various characters from the films, as well as new faces, each with their own backstories and motivations. The narrative is driven by Max’s quest for survival and revenge, providing a compelling backdrop for the action-packed gameplay.
