Zungre: Well, one thing I noticed when we saw the trailer, which was amazing by the way, hilarious
Pete Hines: Thanks.
Zungre: was what the announcer said when he was talking to little Sally. Hey little Sally, you can find that special someone in the vault and repopulate the earth and it shows the babies popping out. And shes all unsettled. But does that play a part in the game? Whats the sexual tone of the game?
Pete Hines: Its pretty mild, we dont go overboard. We focused more on the violence and the struggle to survive in this world, as opposed to people trying to make a living as porn stars or whatever. Its 200 years after the war and the world is not doing well. Humanity is not making a comeback, theyre barely hanging on. So its more about survival, as opposed to whackity-schmackity jokey stuff.
Zungre: Okay, so youre not going overboard with the satirical.
Pete Hines: No that was really more designed to be like, youre watching it as if it was made pre-war. They make a commercial where they dont even know, they dont even realize that thats not appropriate and the dad and the daughter, you know, exchanging that really uncomfortable glance, as Dads thinking about his little girl and her repopulating the planet.
Zungre: Did you have a hand in creating that trailer?
Peter Hines: I did actually. I had this idea and I was talking with Todd and Emil Pagliarulo, who is our lead designer, in his office and I was like, I want to do our trailer and I want to do a live action thing. And I talked to the ad firm and they were like, we love that idea, can you write it up?
Zungre: Yeah, thats awesome.
Peter Hines: So I wrote up the whole thing for it and they went and said, uh, what you proposed would be awesome and itd cost a bazillion dollars.
Zungre: (laughs).
