Mad Max game from Just Cause 2 devs announced

Yeah I got bored of the slow combat and exploring around, eventually just enabled god mode and infinite shotgun ammo to just blast through the story, not bad in the end.

 

Another patch was released.

Awesome update.

 

Is there any way to disable DOF? I can't stand it outside of cinematics.

 

Hit 100 Hours on Mad Max! A special screenshot to commemorate the moment. Witness me!!

 

Hope you solved this by now
To keep playing is the solution. The map will re-appear automagically after a while.

 

Good to see them still patching, even if I finished it long ago and will never get to experience the changes

 

Finally got this friday on steam, and damn I'm loving it. First i will say how happy i was to see that I'm able to run it in 1080p with max settings and a super smooth framerate. This game is like a hybrid of just cause 2, far cry 3, and flatout. I've been a fan of the mad max franchise since i was a kid back in the 80's, and I say that Avalanche did a great job with this one. Staying true to the atmosphere and freakiness of t he wasteland.

 

I love this game. I've got it maxed out with 3k DSR at a constant 60fps. I also use K-Putt's SweetFX preset to sharpen up the DOF blur and make the game look a bit more vibrant.

 

I've completed the main game and I'm trying to 100% it. According to the game I've done 1/2 minefields in Grit Canyons. Neither minefield is showing on the map after driving near them and the dog isn't reacting to either, which indicates that I've completed both. Anyone else had this problem?

 

Yeah I had issues in Pink Eye's Territory had to find a map on google with all the mine field locations and drive around to each one until the dog started barking, the game has a few bugs but overall I enjoyed it and I think they captured the Mad Max atmosphere really well, hopefully they'll patch all these bugs sooner or later.

 

Apparently, Mad Max was ported to Vulkan:

Could be another game to add to the list of "Vulkan benchmarks."

I can only find Linux benchmarks though on NVidia cards, and at least there, the performance boost for Vulkan over OpenGL is huge:

This looks like a 100% improvement in many places, which sounds rather insane. I'm not sure I trust the results. Let's wait for Windows benchmarks.

 

It's only for the Linux version of the game.

Wouldn't mind seeing some of Warner's (The publisher.) PC games updated to Vulkan or DX12 though, would certainly help as long as it's done right.
(Mad Max already runs extremely well on Windows though via DX11, Avalanche did a pretty good job though their US branch did a bit more to the engine for Just Cause 3 and it doesn't rune quite as well. )

EDIT: Actually I could be wrong.
(But all those depots indicate Linux only and I believe this is the company in charge of the Linux port of the game.)

 

I just tried with vulkan beta. Still runs DX11 on Win 10.

Game does run amazingly for DX11 even @ 3840x1600 70hz on ultra.

 

Hm, weird. Vulkan is multi platform, why limit it to Linux for this game? I hope they intend to use it on Windows too. Not because the game doesn't run well (it runs VERY well), but mostly because we don't have too many Vulkan games right now. On every benchmark, it's the same games over and over again. We need more

And you know what? 4K@120FPS would be nice, right?

 

Because it's Feral that added Vulkan Support. Feral does Linux ports only.

 

Still, "4K@120FPS only on Linux" would be rather disappointing Even if Feral does Linux ports, the main dev team could pick the Vulkan work up and add it to the Windows version. If they're still around, that is... I'm not sure Mad Max did that well when it comes to sales.

 

Well i got to play it again, in different circumstances, 2k all maxed out, and it still holds incredibly.
Its one of the underrated gems of the past 10 years, and it would be fantastic if a sequel would be made.

A bigger desert land, more carnage, a better story, or at least better told, would make the sequel a instant classic.
