I'm hoping the game is the PC version of GTA4 and the bears are entendre for the Russian characters.

Clearly, they're going to announce hello kitty island adventure 2 where carebears will be one of the playable races.

you guys are forgetting, bears is capitalized. its probably some dumb sports game or April Fools joke or it is an actual game, but one that no one will want to play, so its sort of a true announcement and april fools joke in one.


as for the "series" clue, wtf? every game is a sequel or part 10 of a game these days.

When I saw "Bears" was capitalized, the first thing I thought was football, obviously.

Meh.

Whoops, sorry, bears is supposed to lower-case. Soz Pontifex.

Bears was meant to be lower case. Sorry


I asked a question regarding the announcement, and asked what nature concerned it. Dan Stapleton replied with this:

Mac - nope, you won?t see this one coming. As for the FC2 thing, Ubisoft TOLD us it was going to be exclusive, then, after we?d printed that teaser, they announced it ahead of our issue anyway due to a lack of coordination on their part. We?re not trying to scam you, I promise.

That's my guess.

This game has been in development longer than most people on these forums have been playing games.

Well, honestly guys, I don't think BEARS are in it at all. I think the game might have bears, but it won't be in the title. :confused:

hehe, ya, the article kinda threw that in there as some random readers guess, it seemed to me after the first read. I've got my fingers crossed that it is a Duke Nukem Forever Release Date.

What boggles my mind is that nobody else has caught onto this yet...

I guess it makes sense. Most of the maganizes I have subscriptions to already sent me their March issue.
I suppose it wouldnt be too far out for PCG to have an early April Fools. They clearly ran out of good ideas a long time ago.

Bioware is making Dragon Age, which is a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate, but maybe.

I'm guessing an MMO sequel.....Asherons Call 3.....WoW 2 or something. Single player games are too spotty to get that excited over.

Business model apparently: favorable cover stories in exchange for exclusive announcements.

Compare their rating for Hellgate: London with pretty much every other game review.

Unfortunately, Computer Games Magazine went out of business, PC Gamer is the top seller.
