News: How naughty is he? He's grisly! (A2M's joke, not mine)

When Artificial Mind & Movement (better known as A2M, the developers behind Wet) and 505 Games first announced Naughty Bear, I wasn't entirely sure it wasn't just some elaborate hoax. After viewing the game's first trailer, I'm still not convinced.

Naughty Bear is exactly what you'd think it is from the title. A stuffed teddy bear who is up to no good. Just how much no good is he up to, A2M describes him as a "grisly psychopath" (grisly, har har):

Naughty Bear is a grisly psychopath slicing a path of manipulation and terror across a cartoon world of otherwise blissful teddy bears on the Island of Perfection. The other bears have gotten away with blaming Naughty Bear for everything that has gone wrong on the islandЧuntil now. Naughty Bear tells the tale of one demented teddy bear's ruthless efforts to torment and harass the inhabitants of the Island of Perfection. Gamers will engage in sadistic scuffles with hapless stuffed animals from all corners of the toy box, waging psychological warfare on unsuspecting victims. Hell-bent on exacting revenge against everything cute and fluffy.

The trailer gives gamers a glimpse into the troubled mind of the mischievous, misunderstood protagonist, Naughty Bear. While it is hard for those with a sound state of mind to grasp the madness of such a character, this introductory video reveals the root of his bad behavior.

And here's the trailer:

Naughty Bear will be released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in the Spring. That is if it's a real game and not an attempt to punk the gaming community.
