Mad Max 4 possible and PA RTS SunAge coming soon!

[The Vault Dweller]

As you may know No Mutants Allowed covers things of interests to Fallout fans such as great RPG examples and post-apocalyptic entertainment. Recently two sources of interest came up one being almost completed and one just beginning.

A small Austrian game developer has announced a May date for the release of a new post-apocalyptic RTS called Sunage. The game doesn't have true 3-D, but instead use isometric models like those of Fallout 1 and 2. I'm very surprised to hear of such a well-developed game that's been in development over two years. Check the site for some screenshots that show it's level of development to see.

Mad Max 4 may come into being. It seems the director George Miller, who also started with the first movie, mentioned that he'd like to make the fourth sequel, but this time Mel Gibson won't be the star due to his old age. Will they find a suitable replacement? I can only they find someone who's good at looking gritty and worn.

I offer my thanks on to shokki_ of the forums for reporting on Mad Max 4 and Tater Po of the SunAge forums for the info on SunAge.

Sincerely,
The Vault Dweller

Hopefully it's better than his last effort

Nah, Beyond Thunderdome was decent for the first half of the movie. The children kind of ruined it.

God, I hated those kids. They were like ewoks of Beyond Thunderdome.

I think Michael Biehn should be the main protaginist in Mad Max 4.

I give kudos to Sunage. Thats I will make a point to check out. Reminds me of Star Craft as well.

People get even grittier and more worn at old ages, so it would be perfectly ok for Mel to play Max once again imo. I'm sure there are possible decent solutions to the plot developement taking into account his age and feasibility. I'm thinking of something like Unforgiven, for example. How old was Eastwood at that time?
I just can't imagine Mad Max movie without Mad Max erm...Mel Gibson .

My bets are on Hugh Jackman as the next Mad Max.

if Mel Gibson cant be Max, i'd prefer to see someone a little less used than Hugh Jackman, imagine if they decided on Vin Diesel(he'd be perfect for the Duke Nukem part tho)...

Get some fresh meat to play Max :!:

who's the guy that was in sin city and hellboy?

who's the guy that was in sin city and hellboy?

Mickey Rourke was Marv in Sin City and Ron Perlman was Hellboy. Both would be piss poor choices to play Max as neither is any younger than Gibson and they look nothing like him. At least Jackman looks quite alot like Gibson. Vin Diesel might fit in as part of a nomad biker gang... I don't see him as Max.

How about Clive Owen ?

Looks like Max to me : http://www.cinemacomrapadura.com.br...ve_owen_metamorfose_img_wallpaper_03_1024.jpg

Ron Perlman's involvement would make me salivate a bit given the Fallout connection, but he looks and acts nothing like Mad Max, as a supporting actor he would rock though.
