GS: The Leisure Suit Larry series has its roots in traditional graphical adventure games for the PC. What adventure game elements can we expect to see in the new game? Can we expect to see many references to previous games - possibly returning characters or a cameo from the original Larry?

JV: I think this game captures a lot of the ideas and themes found in the old adventure games without necessarily presenting them in the same fashion. Much of that is due to the technological advancements that have been made since the heyday of graphical adventures. In a 3D world, there's a lot more potential for exploration and discovery, and we've tried to make that a key part of the experience. In this case, the adventure revolves around trying to get onto a ridiculous reality dating show, with lots of funny subplots thrown in along the way to spice things up. That necessarily requires us to have characters and environments that are much deeper than you would expect to find in any other genre. It also requires us to really put our money where our mouth is as far as humor and story are concerned. If this game isn't funny, we haven't done our jobs. Which is why we're making the game funny. I promise.
