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

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

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

This is true, and its told in the official comics, as well as in beyond thunderdome, although Max gets sidetracked there.
Acquiring parts to rebuild a car is what drives Max to bartertown in the first place.
Later on he actually sort of rebuilds himself a car that is much like the old interceptor, and he calls this car the black on black.

So there you go !

Sounds like the game is like the sequel to Mad Max, Road Warrior, and Beyond Thunderdome and the movie Mad Max Fury Road is just like a reboot/offshoot.

No it's not.
Fury Road is a full fledged sequel.

Basically the canon of events is like this according to the movies, comics, and now games.

- Mad Max
- The Road Warrior
- Beyond Thunderdome
- Storyline from the Mad Max #1 comic, where Max goes to Gastown for the first time to participate in a brutal cagefight. The survivor will win a legendary V8 Engine that actually works.
- Max finishes the Black on Black, a car based on his old interceptor, which he lost during Road Warrior.
- Events of Mad Max game take place
- Fury Road

You got it in one shot. The new movie is unneccessary to play the game and has absolutely nothing to do with it, the first two movies are the base for the Mad Max game. And the game feels and plays more like you are in the first two movies.

Fury Road is a lame, boring and akward try to reboot the brand.

I know it REALLY is like this, but I'm just saying...being a fan of all things Mad Max from my perspective it's just easier for me to treat the new Fury Road movie like an offshoot reboot similar to what they did with the newer Star Trek movies.

Well thats not true at all.
The game is definitely more like Fury Road then any other Mad Max movie.
The fact that we are near Gastown which is a location in the movie, have a villain that is directly connected to the Immortan Joe, see the same factions/gangs as in fury road, as well as that it's expanding on certain plot elements we see during Fury Road, makes this game intrinsically connected to Fury Road.

Do you have some references for this? Can you name the comic for verification?

Problem with posts like this, others have put forward completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fanfiction theories as official media and canon, so unless it's within the movies, I'll take it with a grain of salt, unless I can verify the existence of the source...
The game is not tied to anything really, for starters Max's family is different from the movies. The stories in the comics and the game are almost the same but told in a a different way.

If you actually read the synopsis, it doesn't explain anything at all regarding Max rebuilding the Interceptor, as the third comic is in some respects a parrallel to The Game...

The comics are a prequel to Fury Road, yes... But they have nothing to do with The Game as Hope and Glory are already dead in the comics, on account of Max's failed attempt to rescue both from Buzzards... This is a big continuity issue if you're trying to tie them all together...

Once again, this all harks back to George Miller's comments that there is no fixed timeline, lore, or canon... The franchise is a loosely associated collection of stories, nothing more...

I never said it had anything to do with the game, I was just linking it for reference.
Anyway, the way I see it is that they're all stories (with the exception of the first movie) being told by other people (as we can see with the comics), so some of the events overlap and are told in different ways.

It's not his child and wife that die in the flashbacks. You can clearly see the little girl in the flashback about to be run down by a truck and/or car. Max's wife and child were injured/killed by a motorcycle gang, more specifically Toe Cutter.

Since George Miller has been involved in the creation of both the comics and the game, it is safe to say they are very much part of the canon. Basically these different types of media all add to the story, and I think that's good.
The game because of its pacing, can give us a first hand experience in how Max actually perceives the world, and gives us a very specific look into his insanity, and how his mind manifests different sorts of "ghosts from the past".
Griffa for example is Max's voice of reason, his last link to his human self, and the voice that makes sure he does not become a savage.
The ghostly hauntings of Glory we see in Fury Road, represent a deep guild that Max feels for trying to safe people and once again failing, but surviving the ordeal himself.

To be specific, the fact that Max rebuilds a car, is covered in the Max #1 comic of the series.

But there is a canon, and a certain set of events that leads to certain situations.
As I stated in another post before, the comics are basically narrated by a History Man years later, which make it a third hand telling of the history, where not all the facts are specifically covered, while the game gives us the first hand experience through Max's own eyes.

Every story is a follow up to another story within the series.

Mad Max 1 leads to Mad Max 2, and the fact that Max is without his car, and he is trying to rebuild it, is what leads to Beyond Thunderdome, where Max is trying to find parts in barter town, and eventually fights in the thunderdome.
After surviving the encounter with Aunty Entity and her gang, Max once again wanders the desert wastelands on his own, still trying to find the parts necessary to rebuild himself a car.

How much time passes is unknown, but every event, leads to another one, and this way all the stories connect, and actually make sense.

You've specifically tried to tie The Game in with the comics and the movies as if there's a clear continuity between them, as you mentioned here :

Given that you have said yourself that Max's stories are told much later, by a third person who may, or may not have even witnessed the events themselves, plays back into the premise that there is no fixed timeline, lore or canon... It's all fairly malleable...

Hope and Glory die in the comics, so this cannot be reconciled with The Game in any clear time-line order... The Game and the comics apparently run parrellel and tell two similar, but distinctly different stories that cannot be worked into any clear order of events...

Either the game is a standalone, and not part of the lore and canon, or it is a part of the lore canon, and the only way to reconcile that is that the lore and canon should not be considered to be completely fixed...
