7/ Outfits, or Disguises, will be important to completing various levels, can they be used in different levels? And how many different outfits are there?

There are 30 costumes to unlock in the game that the player can wear in single or multiplayer. These costumes not only look awesome and hilarious, they give you enhanced statistics and special powers like running without a sound or walking amongst the other bears unnoticed. For example, Naughty Bear can put on a police bear costume and cause harm to other bears, who then confuse all police bears on the island for enemies!
Discovering which costume is best suited for you in a specific level is key to making THE big score, there is no such thing as the “best” costume. Like the pre-order DLCs, other costumes will appear in future downloadable content.

8/ Replayabilty has been mentioned before, are there lots of different ways to complete each level, and will different types of kills offer different scores?

The game revolves around Naughty Points and the scoring system. The system is deep but easy to understand: you will earn points for any naughty thing you do and even more for naughtiness the other bears witness. The player is awarded even more points if he’s creative and changes tactics often. This is then multiplied by your current multiplier.
Points unlock levels, costumes and earn you Naughty Cups. Earning Naughty Points and discovering new ways to earn them is what gives the game some of its depth. There are hundreds of different ways to be naughty from smashing stuff to much more in-depth ways like getting the other bears to witness your carnage. Also, as you play, your points are added to leaderboards and your friends’ high scores are shown, encouraging you to beat them. There are also more than 50 different ranks to unlock from Naughty Cub to Naughtomotron.

9/ “The Book of Naughty” has appeared in some of the recent teaser trailers, will this play a role in the game? Will it be used similarly to the ‘Tome of Knowledge” from Warhammer Online?

The book of naughty was really created to give potential players an idea of what the game would be like to play and the sort of things you might be doing. It really is based from the design documents of every Naughty Event we have in the game. Discovering these is what is going to make the difference between good and great players. We don’t want to give them all away just yet.

10/ How important, or integral, do you think the ‘live leaderboards’’ will be to the overall ‘Naughty Bear ‘ experience?

Absolutely essential to the experience we are creating. The ability to compete against the world – and more importantly, your friends -is becoming the benchmark with leaderboard integration. It is shown dynamically in game as you are playing and really is the measure of your success.

11/ I love the film parody teaser trailers, can we expect more in the build up to release? And will there be any famous movie murders incorporated in the game? Would love to see Naughty Bear in a bathroom with a chainsaw, just like in Scarface…

There are a lot of kills and scares to discover in the game. You’ll just have to play to find out
