The Entertainment Electronics Expo – better known as E3 – has opened in Los Angeles with some great news for rat-rodding video-gamers everywhere (that's a thing, right?). Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has announced that it will be bringing a Mad Max title to Sony's Playstation 4 in 2014.
Mad Max certainly doesn't appear to be a straightforward driving game, based on the video preview and brief press release, but that's not a bad thing from where we're sitting. The open-world eco system will ask players to aid their survival chances by constructing customizable combat vehicles – scavenging for parts in the forlorn landscapes that the Mad Max movies have made famous.
This sandbox-style gaming, mixed with vehicle building and on-road battling seem as though they hold a lot of promise. And, if it all looks as good as the cut scene below in the video trailer below, all the better. Mad Max is due out sometime in 2014 as a launch title for the PS4, and will also be available on Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Burbank, Calif. – June 10, 2013 – Warner Bros.
