Thursday Next Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Seriously? No Ico or Shadow? On the BF copied MW boxart thing... take a look at the box art for MoH and CoD games, you will see that MoH pioneered the "guy on the right looking back over his shoulder" boxart, which CoD shamefully copied. It seems there is some sort of consensus on how FPS covers should look. We've been through a phase of dude walks towards camera, with smaller vehicles / people around them. New CoD and Bad Co. At the moment we're heading into "Dude on his own looks over shoulder." territory (see new MoH and Crysis 2 for reference). I quite like Bulletstorm's "Kick you in the face while shooting a big ol' gun and leashing some other dude in the air" cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slithy toves Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I think I like the PS3 one better, which is sad because I'll probably get the 360 one. assuming they keep those same covers i'm having the opposite problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Also, the plain text on the spine is/was a SCEE requirement. I kinda like it, makes everything match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they could be awesome and just give us a reversible cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I can't decide which I prefer ... Easy, both! Yeah, I'm totally willing to buy both just to have the 2 different versions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FMW Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) The Chrono Trigger box art is pretty fantastic. Another game that has a really cool box is Pikmin 2. And the alternate cover: Both are good, but I think I prefer the first one. The second image is just a bit too busy for my taste. That said, they're both head and shoulders better than what we usually get. Edit: I can't make the pictures show up. Sorry. Edited January 17, 2011 by Deanb in future hit "view full image" then use that URL, not the search URL :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Thanks for reminding me that I still don't own Pikmin 2. The damn thing is still $50. T_T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I think it's pretty crappy because of the horrible perspectives used. If it was just one looking up it'd be cool, but it's like Duke is leaning back at a 45 degree angle and everything else is normal. Heck it looks more like he's laying ontop of the woman behind him and the shot is just taken from a few feet off the ground. So yeah I'd of left in Duke, removed everything else.

TheMightyEthan Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I imagine that he's deriving sexual satisfaction from that woman trying to forcibly insert her head into his anus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixTwoSixFour Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 The reason I like it is because it just... I mean, it's not beautiful. It's not elegant. It's quintessentially Duke- big, in your face, blatantly sexual, and colorful. It's a pretty accurate representation of what is inside.

Commander Shepard Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Only an M+ rating? (Do they even use the AO rating anymore, or is it just taboo to use anymore.) (Also, I know giving the game an M+ rating allows the game to be sold to a larger audience, I just had high hopes and wishes ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 They still hand out AO ratings, it's just the vast majority of the time devs/publishers won't put anything in there to get them an AO, and if they do get an AO they'll take stuff out to get it down to M because none of the consoles companies will allow AO games on their consoles, and Walmart won't sell AO games.

As a certain video game character once said, "Blow it out your ass." I'll let you interpret that as you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
