Rockville, MD. Bethesda announced today that the next Fallout game, New Vegas, will be created entirely in a pastel color palette.
"We had really thought that browns and grays were crucial to capturing the very essence of a post-apocalyptic landscape, but after reading many complaints in Kotaku forums about the limited color palette of Fallout 3, we have realized that we were dead fucking wrong," Bethesda's President of Marketing, Ted Sandill, said.
"We're going to add tons of rainbows, frolicking puppies, playful kittens, and cuddly bunnies to New Vegas. Maybe some majestic unicorns. We will also change the colors of weapons and accessories. Power armor, for example, will now be exclusive mauve. That should really push the color palette to broader horizons and strengthen the impression of total nuclear armageddon," Sandill added.
Sandill said that Bethesda is enlisting Paas and Lisa Frank to make sure that New Vegas turns out to be the product that choosy gamers really desire.
