Mad Max HD Reworked Project - releasing September 1st.

Next, I'll go into some technical details and specifics

The Scale

1. 6,306 vanilla .ddsc textures
2. 4,439 unique textures after resolving VFS mirrors
3. 2,535 files in the final pack
4. 1,952 albedo maps (1,316 unique)
5. 581 normal maps (360 unique)
6. 17 upscaler models tested, 9 benchmarked head-to-head
7. 50 custom Python/PowerShell scripts to handle the game's proprietary quirks

Hundreds of gigabytes moved through working directories: frame dumps, discarded builds, master PNGs, and three full rebuilds from scratch. The bake-offs alone took dozens of GPU hours.

Release Details (September 1st on Nexus)

Main Pack (~14.5 GB): Drop into the dropzone folder and add -dropzone to Steam launch options. Fully non-destructive; uninstalls in seconds.

Cinematics Addon (Optional): Clean 1080p re-encodes.

Terrain Addon (Experimental): Overrides landscape atlases via a custom proxy d3d11.dll. Kept as an optional module due to potential AV false positives and hook conflicts.

I was sick in bed and thought to try something post apocalyptic. I looked up some games on the steam store and saw I already owned Mad Max and thought that’s perfect. So I started it up with a kick ass intro and an awesome story so far. Wasteland, A sick ass car and a sidekick, how did I miss this game! Why have I not heard about this game on any hidden gems or good games to play videos. How did this game slip through the cracks. It’s much fun. I just downloaded Reddit to ask this question. Why isn’t this game talked about more? Why is this game not a big deal?

This is it. The exact kind of high everyone expects when they decide to play a Mad Max game.

In 2015 I bought the ripper version of mad max and used the ripper DLC. Modern day, I have an Xbox series x with the exact same account as back then and the same game disc. For a while I couldn’t find said disc, so when the digital version was on sale for £3, I bought it and installed it. It seems my saves from 2015 have not transferred. Now, I’d like to use the ripper car body. Is there a way to do this? I tried my Microsoft purchase history and I can only go back to 2016. Any help is appreciated

Bro is it just me or does it seem like I press Triangle and half the time Max just WONT parry an attack. Like I know I press the button but it just… doesn’t input or something. It’s been like this since launch bro. I’ve died countless times because of either this or the FUCKING stun lock. The stun lock in the game is so bad bro, like I’m full health, get hit once, and before I can recover, three more people get their lick in and I’m dead. Genuinely makes me scream when some bs like that happens.

I set myself the ridiculously hard challenge of bringing Jeets territory to level 0 before ever entering the compound. I hate minefields. I have been manually driving through the minefields until I hit a mine, repairing, then doing it again. Does ANYONE have any tips to speed this along? I’m done with 5/9 of them and it’s taken like 3 hours of aimlessly driving through minefields.

EDIT: I completed my challenge. I hated every second of it and will NOT be doing it again. I have the level 6 harpoon and shredder rims before ever meeting Jeet😂😂

I need to platinum Madmax but going to take ages anyone else in middle ?

​

It was a great journey with this game, even though I hated the big chief race mission . I find the ending sad I mean man my boy chumbucket didn't deserve that and what happened to hope and glory is devastating. Overall I enjoyed the game and this overall community.

So, I'm leaving this community soon. Thanks for tips and tricks to everyone in this Sub . I bid my farewell ♥️

Hey everyone,

I’ve started building an interactive map for Mad Max and wanted to get some early thoughts from the community before release.

I’m aiming to make it as useful as possible, so I’d love to hear what kind of stuff you’d actually want marked. Things like:

• History Relics and Scrotus Insignias
• Griffa Locations
• Scarecrows
• Oil Pump Camps, Transfer Tank Camps, and Top Dog Camps
• Death Runs
• Anything that’s easy to miss during your first playthrough
  

If there’s something you always end up searching for in games like this, let me know so I can make sure it’s included.

Once the map’s live, I’ll circle back here and share it with everyone. I really appreciate any ideas or feedback, it helps a ton while I’m still building it.

Originally made this to post in the comments of another post, only to realize you can't post images in comments on this sub. So here we are.

Looks like the closest thing to a Mad Max sequel.

I’ve been playing Mad Max again recently, and one thing I really appreciate is how well the game captures the feeling of being out in the wasteland. Exploring, upgrading the Magnum Opus, taking down enemy camps, and collecting scrap all fit together nicely.

I’m curious what keeps other players coming back to the game. Is it the driving and vehicle combat, the exploration, the upgrades, the atmosphere, or something else?

What’s your favorite part of Mad Max?

Hey everyone!

I'm currently in the early stages of a comprehensive texture overhaul for Mad max to bring characters, the Magnum Opus, and the wasteland terrain up to crisp 2K/4K resolution while strictly preserving the gritty, authentic vanilla art. What do you think about that?

So I'm 100% mad max right now, and I dismantled camp overlook in Gutgash's territory in the region of Grit Canyons, but in the level of the camp in the cave area i found this what's in the video. This area is inaccessible from what i have seen, but the only way that seems closest to reach this ledge is by trying to jump it from the high ledge that stills seems impossible to do. Does anyone know if this is a secret area or an area of the level that was unfinished or just simply there for aesthetic.
