Mad Max Director George Miller Would Like Hideo Kojima to Make a Video Game Adaptation

Mad Max 2015 is great, I enjoyed it a lot.
Kojima has been known for sucking Miller's balls on X, I think this is just Miller returning the favour. You could say it is an unsyched 69.
That said, I would love a Mad Max game directed by Kojima. Kojima knows his Mad Max and can do action when he wants to, it's just that he is most interested in other stuff.
I know a lot of people don't like him but it's not like his games don't have great action sequences (admittedly between long cutscenes).

What time is it?
Only because it was.
I understand why people dislike Kojima's narrative flourishes but his games still manage to have more mechanical complexity and depth than 98% of games released today.

His games have a certain attention to detail and quirks you never see elsewhere. Like, dropping supply boxes on Quiet during the boss fight, or urinate on enemies in Death Stranding since it also contains DNA. Or like, dressing up as Raidenovic to fool Volgin, who simply touches your balls and knows its not him. You can usually think outside of the box in his games.
But for an MM game Hideo would need to tone down his typical writing.

Not to me. It is the best Mad Max game so far.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Miller wasn’t happy with it as he lacked input with it, however wouldn’t find someone like Kojima taking full control.
Miller has been trying to make a game since the early 2000s. This never occurred, however elements such as Max’s lack of a spoiler on his Interceptor in Fury Road was apparently a holdover from when you were supposed to unlock it as an upgrade in the 2000s game. I also believe unless I’m mistaken that Furiosa came from this game originally.

As far as adaptations go, it shits all over the Futurama game.

I dunno, I feel like the opinion of the creator of the license is at least as important than the one from "Fart Knight".

This could be people on gamefaqs making shit up, but apparently he was not even informed the game was being made for a good while, and apparently they went ahead and used a Mad Max story he wanted in a potential film for the game instead.
So if anything, his criticism is probably him being nice about the situation because that’s fucked up to do him like that if it’s true.
Say what you want about Kojima (I mean, he rules in my book), but ain’t no way he would do Miller dirty like that. The two get along great and Kojima definitely would respect any of Miller’s wishes for a potential game.

Part of the problem here is that some people forgot that if Kojima has someone next to him to reign in the crazier ideas, he will reign them in. They've forgotten this because Kojima has not had anyone to reign in his ideas for a while now. So even if this idea were to progress into a concept, they worry that he would take Mad Max in an insane direction, instead of simply just providing the best of his skills to an already established universe.

We know death stranding is fundamentally flawed, and was never quiet open world, it did have a pretty sizable world, and the AI controlled cargo carriers benefits anyway a Kojima mad max game could be massive.

There's already a very good Max Max video game, no need to Kojima-fy it. We don't want Max to talk about nanomachines.

Ummm... begging your pardon, but, bruh....
If you don't like it, you're free to not buy it. Don't deprive the rest of us of nanomachine riddled reattached amputated arms and fan service that's totally integral to the story and not at all superfluous.

There's a 100% chance Miller never played mad max. It's fucking great. The car combat and storytelling thru collectables is still some of the best I've ever seen

I enjoyed the 2015 game but it was far too repetitive. Fun combat systems though, both on foot and behind the wheel
As for Kojima.. love the man's work but I don't think he's the right fit for Mad Max. But hey, if the actual father of Mad Max says he is, then who am I to say otherwise?

I like Kojima's games as much as the next guy, but i dont think he is the right choice for a Mad Max game.
Also, the 2015 Mad Max game was fucking fantastic. Nailed the world and atmosphere of the Mad Max series. Nailed the vehicle combat, driving and customization. They even added game mechanics related to the vehicle like tearing stuff down to make enemy bases more vulnerable, etc. Add to that good fun hand-to-hand combat, great graphics that hold up today, fairly satisfying exploration and a serviceable story. Made for an excellent game.

These two should just get a room already:

Mad Max 2015 was VERY good. Underrated.
But, yes, I can see Kojima making a badass Mad Max game.

Apart from the fact Miller's directing and story telling is the exact opposite of Kojima's (both being masterful in their own way), sure.
Maybe that kind of ego helps being great.
Magnificent. I never seen a better definition of those type of guys.

I heard my dad use this phrase to describe my uncle in the late 90s. It stuck in my memory because at the time I had no idea what this meant. The penny dropped when I got older and got to know my uncle. Perfect description.

Yes, we need a sequel for that one, not whatever cringe piece of sh...art kojima could do.

I don't know if I am really interested in Mad Max as a game, I don't love, not even particularly like the movies. Can't remember much of the Mel Gibson stuff, but Charlize and Tom were in some BS movie that was okayish to look at, but overall crap.
The game was in Plus and I may check it out some day, but the movies were also rather on the Michael Bay side, style over substance, grimmer, with a kinda bonkers self serving nonsense style and action scenes. Waterworld, Postman, or also Rage all kinda sucked imho. Maybe Borderlands with its joke approach was probably the most entertaining one can do with apocalyptic empty deserts/places.
No idea what Kojima or anyone is supposed to do with its shallow story and simple characters. Other than having some memorable evil guy and good car battles, the template offers barely anything to actually work, transfer, improve.

Well he worked with him on Death Stranding 2 and he saw the potential.
They're always other options but I'm not sure there's that much better ones. If you want a strict movie adaptation there's no need for a game designer with a strong artistic universe like Kojima, but if Miller want an artie take on Mad Max why not ?

Lars von Trier is a full blown psycho or a maximum control freak. There is zero art or beauty in his films, he is a total nutjob. The House That Jack Built exemplified this 100%.

dont know why people get hard for the 2015 game.
great for a budget/movie-tie-in game, but nothing special overall.
gameplay got shallow/repetitive fast.
if kojima would have fun doing a mad max game, itd probably be good.

Very good my ass. Very repetitive and at some point flat out boring.There's already a very good Max Max video game, no need to Kojima-fy it. We don't want Max to talk about nanomachines.

Imagine you spend years and years working on a game that flops because it came out the same day as a kojima game, then the mad max director says your game stinks and he wants kojima to make a mad max game. Definitely a villain origin story.

Probably how the duke nukem forever team felt. It was in development for 14 years. 1997 to 2011.
Only to release as a turd. It took 2 console generations to release.

I loved that game that came out in 2015. The driving mechanics and especially the harpoon mechanic were so damn good. I loved everything about that game except for one thing. the boss when you took over a town/tower. It felt like the same person (The Gimp). I wished they created Kojima like bosses found in Metal Gear Solid Games. If that happened I would replay it every year instead of every other year.
