Naughty Bear's box art is pretty much amazing photo

The cover art for Naughty Bear is what happens when American Psycho and Child's Play have a baby. It's not exactly a sight for sore eyes, but it doesn't have to be, either. In fact, the only way it could be any better is if they went one-hundred percent in the other direction: rainbows, frolicking bears, flowers, etc.

Since this happens to be a game about a stuffed bear going on a murderous rampage, mission accomplished on the art, I'd say. Even if Naughty Bear gets a budget price, I don't think most of the world will be ready to try such game concepts yet.

The rest of us, though. We are so ready. Expect to see bargain bin sections of every store ever packed with copies of this game a month or so after it debuts. It's going to look like an army of creepy bears are staring at you with their lifeless black eyes.

It's a cool box, but isn't this a a bit early for box art? This usually comes after the gameplay vids.

This box art lacks Jack Nicholson's face impressions.

This reminds me of the Tediz from Conker's Bad Fur Day.

I wish this could have been the Mass Effect 2 box art.






I'm serious.

Would you recommend WET? I played the demo and had fun, but how was the rest of the game?

And this game looks hilarious, to say the least.

American Psycho and Child's play? Now that's a mash-up. I hope the bear makes references to 80s music with a theme song of "It's hip to be square, bear".

Yeah, I was kinda wondering how anyone could miss the reference to The Shining there. Good thing nothing gets by the comment section.

WET was awesome for it's concept. It kind of felt like a tech demo in some ways but if you're a big fan of grindhouse, can excuse some shoddy execution an just generally enjoy the concept, and have the spare change, it's hella fun. I loved every second of it.

So naturally I'm now a huge A2M fan and can't wait for Naughty Bear but as everyone has said this seems a little soon. When does this thing release?

I loved WET too, more then I thought I would. However, it wasn't a game I'd buy; more of a rent, honestly.
Though it was a very, VERY solid rent. If you like grindhouse films you totally shouldn't pass this up.
I have a feeling this game will be the same way: really fun, but short and not worth owning.

I'm so keeping an eye on this game. At some point I do plan on snagging WET. I was a big supporter of it during development, but my PS3 purchase came much later than perhaps I expected and given the abundance of other games I'll just have to save my money for the time being.

College is a real $$$ killer and so are games. Sadly, college is more important.

Oh, damn. I just had an old moment. Like really making me feel old, because this feels like a juuuust slightly generational gap right here:

"The cover art for Naughty Bear is what happens when American Psycho and Child's Play have a baby."

I thought it was very obviously what happens when Snuggles (from laundry detergent ads) meets The Shining and Original Friday The 13th (not the remake).
Hope I can live long enough *farts some dust* to play this game. I'm liking the idea.

Does sound interesting. Such a shame we didn't get this before Wet, as it sounds much more fun.

Kill fluffy toys and rip out their stuffing, and make other toys watch. Lol. If only Toy Story were as good as this.

Remembers me of what Conker's Bad Fur Day did back in the N64, cute characters doing naughty stuff.
