Mad Max Game is offical prequel to Mad Max Fury Road. SPOILERS!!!

[WhiteSosa]

Before you read! SPOILERS!!!

It makes sense. All the pieces fit together too nice and tight.

At the begining of Mad Max Fury Road movie you see Mad Max ready to travel through the Plains of Silence.

He then loses his Interceptor to Immortan Joe's Warboys chasing him down as revenge from killing Immortan Joe's 3rd psychotic son Scabrous Scrotus. he got his interceptor back at the end of the game after he killed Scabrous Scrotus, but he lost his Magnum Opus+ Chum Bucket.

In Immortan Joe's Citadel Mad Max has flash backs of Glory (little girl in the game,same name in movie too) and Hope (mother of girl in game). The girl kept saying in the movie "why won't you help us?!", "where were you max?!, "why did you leave us MAX?!", and "You KILLED US MAX?!". Its quite obvious its glory from the game that Immortan joe's son, Scabrous Scrotus killed them, and he's having regret and feels guilty for leaving them behind to die.

Now as for Chum bucket obviously he's dead so that wouldnt interfere with the story, and he hasnt met Furiosa until later on in the movie.

So it only makes sense and its logical that the game takes place literally right before the movie.
Also at the end of the movie Mad Max disappears into the crowd for Mad Max to continue his adventure through the Plains of Silence. so makes sense.

Thoughts?

It's not a prequel... In an interview with George Miller he says that Fury Road takes place just after Thunderdome, and the kids that max see's flashing infront of him are the kids he betrayed in thunderdome. So I think the Thunderdome is in the middle of Fury road and this game's story.

Didn't Max have a son in the movies? Or at least the old ones?

If Mad Max Game is a Prequel of Mad Max Fury, why this reference ? ->

I say it is a Sequel, not a Prequel

That's A War Rig not THE War Rig. Furiosa doesn't have the only one. Anyway, I would have preferred a completely original story not tied to any movie, but what can you do?

I don't think so because you get to that War Rig, strangely, in the same mission that you get a sniper rifle upgrade that is in THAT Rig (just like Fury's sniper rifle). I don't think this is a simple coincidence.

Well, I don't know, I think it's more of an easter egg than anything, regardless I wouldn't think about it too much, the game doesn't have a good story anyway.

Because George Miller (Mad Max's creator) has said there is no fixed lore, canon or timeline...

Even he is unclear exactly where the movies fall into place in the timeline since Max's Interceptor has been destroyed twice now...

1. Road Warrior
2. Fury Road

Again, no the game is NOT a tie in... Avalance have said so on multiple occasions...

The game merely shares locations and references characters from the movie... It is a licensed product, not a direct movie tie-in as it's plot has nothing to do with the movie...

It's as much a tie-in as the recent Batman games are a tie-in to the Dark Knight movies...

Also you need to remember that in the lore it says that after mad max kills scaborous scrotus, The People Eater takes over gastown in which the movie fury road, The people Eater is indeed owns gastown. Which makes me really confused about what george miller said.

Well, the game certainlly tried to tie in with the movie, Scrotus is Rictus's brother, BOTH are Immortan Joe's sons which the game states very clearly in one point. It's the same universe or at least an alternate version of it.

Yes, the game ties into the franchise... Of course it does... But, given the Interceptor is destroyed in Road Warrior, there's clear continuity issues already for how the game, and Fury Road, tie into the overall franchise...

No, the entire franchise is a loosely associated collection of stories involving the same protagonist, with no clear lore, canon or timeline, as I said...

This guy? This guy not only gets props for reading and remembering the lore, but also presenting it without sounding like he was whining or rage-quitting, which is all too rare in Steam forums.

By the way, the game never tells that Scabrous Scrotus is hunting Max because of the Immortan's death. Scabrous Scrotus is the Chief warlord of Gastown, while the People Eater is it's mayor, which are 2 completely different positions. I believe the 2 of them could have been running things together for quite some time, since Immortan forged the alliances years prior, and Scrotus is already a fully grown man.
The lore clearly states that Scrotus has always been a psychotic and very flawed person with tendencies to hunt and kill for sport. Scrotus is not driven by revenge when taking on Max in the beginning. He probably wants his blood thirst quenched and the "Interceptor" with it's rare V8 engine as a trophy.

I agree with the point you made here. People Eater very well could have been the one "running" Gas Town and Scrotus the Enforcer. I don't think it was ever outright said that Scrotus "ran" Gas Town, think he was called the protector, or champion of Gas Town, or something like that. People Eater is the brains and Scrotus is the Enforcer.

I personally believe that this is some time after Road Warrior, and Max rebuilt the Interceptor himself, hence the differences between the cars.

Have you ever read the official comics ? Because those stories, together with the movies actually explain everything.
At the beginning of Beyond Thunderdome, Max is on his way to Bartertown, because he is still looking for parts to rebuild his car. Much of what max does after Road Warrior is serving the purpose of rebuilding his car actually.
The comics go into this a little further, by telling a story how Max actually ends up in Gastown's own version of the thunderdome, where he fights in this brutal cagefight for a very rare V8 engine that's still in working order. The interceptor we see in the beginning of the game, is NOT the same interceptor that was scrapped at the end of Road Warrior, and it is explained perfectly within the official lore surrounding the movies, that in this case we are talking about 2 different vehicles.

You are right that there is no such thing as a fixed timeline, as in there is no detailed timeline with years or exact dates.
In this future where the world is destroyed and people are simply surviving, nobody actually counts the years anymore.
There is however an official continuity where all of the events seen so far have taken place in a certain sequence.
