During its development, the Mad Max dev team Avalanche Studios had a chance to sit down and talk with the brains behind the series, George Miller. For those who don't know, this guy is a film legend, having not only created the iconic post-apocalyptic world, but also just recently having helmed this year's summer blockbuster Mad Max: Fury Road.

In awesome typical fashion, PAX Prime will be featuring several weekend concerts for the fans and highlighting six of the nerdiest musical artists around. Both concerts will be at the PAX Main Theatre at Benaroya Hall located at 3rd and Union in Seattle.
Saturday's concert from 8:30-11:30pm will feature 7bit hero, MC Frontalot, and Freezepop, while Sunday's concert will highlight Bit Brigade, Protomen, and The Returners. You will need to line up for the concerts quite early in order to gain entry.
We've already covered the most noteworthy AAA games and indie megabooth games that will appear at PAX Prime 2015 later this week. It's an impressive lineup with a wide variety of developers and genres, and yet it only scratches the surface.
Hideo Kojima lovingly crafts the Metal Gear Solid games, and thus his name often appears on promotional material and box art. That's started to change with the recent meltdown of Konami, but fans and retailers still know who's largely responsible for the series.
Microsoft's Gamescom 2015 demonstration of Remedy Entertainment's upcoming Xbox One exclusive Quantum Break was one that left a strong impression. Showcasing some of the most impressive visuals seen from a game pre-release, some believed that the only way it could achieve its advanced shader and lighting quality is with a lower 720p resolution. Surprisingly, that doesn't appear so.
PAX Prime is ready to kick off in just three days. While many are excited to get their hands on yet-to-be-released games, the real highlight of the show will be its cast of panels. From the moment the show starts until its doors close, there will be live panels for both people at home and those at the show to enjoy.
Turn to the person to your left and ask them what the best year in gaming was. Ok, that's a stuffed animal. Ask anyone online what the best year in gaming was. "1998!" they scream in unison. Banjo-Kazooie, Starcraft, Half-life, Baldur's Gate, Ocarina of Time, and Metal Gear Solid forever immortalize this year as one of the greatest gaming has ever seen.
Believe it or not, TGS 2015 will be here before you know it. In fact, Sony has already detailed its press conference plans for the Tokyo-based expo. While Microsoft and Nintendo will once again have a virtually non-existent presence at the show, you can bet the home of PlayStation will have plenty of exciting things in store.
[Update 2] The wait is over! Well... for the launch trailer, not the game. You'll still have to wait until September 1 to get your hands on Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, but until then, series creator Hideo Kojima has a very special launch trailer for you to watch over... and over... and over again.
Nintendo is going to PAX Prime in a big way this year, bringing a number of exciting Wii U and 3DS games, as well as a sizable indie showcase, sporting 13 different games.
Those hyped for Xenoblade Chronicles X, which is coming this December, won't want to miss out on the Nintendo Treehouse panel on August 29. It kicks off at 2:30pm PT and provides a look at some concept art and new gameplay footage, as well as a Q&A session for the fans.
We're still a week away from September, but that isn't stopping Sony from revealing next month's lineup of free games for PlayStation Plus users. It includes the winner of the first Vote to Play campaign.
This year's PAX Prime will feature plenty of recognizable AAA games, but it's also a showcase for standout indie titles. In fact, the annual event has a huge booth dedicated entirely to indie games, the Indie Megabooth, and it's often one of the big highlights of PAX Prime.
In one week the long-awaited conclusion to the Metal Gear Solid saga will finally hit store shelves. It's been a long-awaited and heavily discussed title, making this an important moment for many gamers. Although it's been showcased with multiple gameplay demonstrations, there are still many unknowns about its design.

Now that early copies have gotten into the hands of media and consumers alike, the world has learned a lot more about Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Below you will find non-spoiler information to offer you a better idea of what this game is.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's release next week signals the end of Hideo Kojima's involvement with the Metal Gear series. It's a significant moment in the video game industry, as he has contributed several of the most well-regarded games in history. Knowing that time was working against him, Kojima made sure to put in every ounce of effort he had into making The Phantom Pain a fulfilling experience. Judging by the extraordinarily positive reviews of the title, he may have struck his mark.
Nintendo has provided the release calendar for the vast majority of its big releases coming later this year, including the likes of Star Fox Zero, Xenoblade Chronicles X, and many more.
On November 20, Star Fox Zero, as well as the Falco amiibo and PokeĂłmon Super Mystery Dungeon, will hit store shelves. Meanwhile, the 3DS exclusive Yo-Kai Watch will be available two weeks earlier, on November 6.
With a shallow bench of high-quality exclusives for the PS4, Until Dawn is an impressive entry into the horror genre. The pacing of the narrative is spot on, and even if you wander around an area before heading to a main objective, the story never feels like it drags. Every chapter is comprised of scenarios with a subplot that, although admittedly demented, will have you on your toes the entire time. The emotions come through, the fear comes through, and every character is drawn out to the point that you'll feel engrossed in the moment... even if you donÄ‚Ë€â„Ët want to be.
It's no secret that Gears of War creator Cliff Bleszinski has been working on his "next big thing" ever since he announced his return to games two years ago. His new game, dubbed "Project Bluestreak," is currently in the works at his new studio Boss Key Productions, and is said to be some sort of free-to-play PC arena shooter.
[Update] Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima has revealed when his previously teased trailer for The Phantom Pain will be released, and it's not much longer now!
Last year, Microsoft went big with the incredible . But itÄ‚Ë€â„Ës only the original Gears of War. Parts 2 and 3 are notably absent, which makes this "ultimate edition" feel somewhat incomplete, despite the enormous amount of extras which include levels for the campaign that was only released on PC.
