Pixar’s Cars franchise is the most successful merchandising property for Disney today, thanks in large part to Larry the Cable Guy’s Mater. Director John Lasseter said Mater is based on a real NASCAR employee. Mater gets a starring role in the new movie. Larry the Cable Guy and co-star Emily Mortimer talk about the new Cars 2 movie, going 3D, and what it’s like to be in a video game in this exclusive video interview below.
George Miller expressed dismay toward the 2015 Mad Max game recently, but Avalanche Studios' take on the lore is still so good to this day.
I think the funny thing is if Kojima made a Mad Max game it would be so trippy and "out there" I don't think it would feel like Mad Max by the time he's done with it. This is why he's better off with original new IPs.
Kojima seems like a buzz word these film directors use because he's probably the only big name they've heard from the gaming industry.
I never played it but the recent buzz around Mad Max has piqued my interest. Will check it out this year for sure
Honestly, Kojima would do the game justice, but given his studio's current workload, it's a bit far flung. I could much rather see Bend Studios (Days Gone dev) doing a Mad Max follow-up. I'm playing through DG right now for the first time and I see lots of similarities between the games to where imo Bend could develop an impressive MM sequel.
While i like the Mad Max game and think it's underrated...i don't know why people are mad at George Miller for not liking the game based on the IP he created. Especially since a lot of people hated it at release as well looking at that 69% metacritic.
After six months of negotiating, Avalanche Studios staff have successfully unionized with a new two-year collective bargaining agreement.
Before games inspired by movies and TV shows became blatant cash grabs, there was a time when players actually had some solid titles inspired by various IPs, and Disney made some of the best
Quackshot for me, simply because I think there’s a lot of potential for improving on the original and I would love a great platformer starring Donald in a world-traveling Ducktales-style adventure.
How did Larry the Cable Guy get popular? Who is his fan base? Do rednecks adore the man or get offended by him? I'm at a loss for he is no Joe Pesci, no Morgan Freeman, and no Johnny Depp.
